He's averaging 2.8 made per game, and "only" needs to hit 3.08 per game from now on to hit 644.

Bulletin board material for Dame!
 
Kobe sat out tonight's game against the Magic, and you will NEVER guess who won.

Hint, it wasn't the Magic.

Yeah, it comes out that if he just keeps his shooting attempts pace, he has to go from 39% to 41%. Or he can keep at 39% and shoot your 3.08/g. Either way, not out of the realm of possibility...

Jeff Van Gundy has sung the praises of the Blazers and Wes Matthews throughout the Warriors-Cavs telecast. Sounds like Wes is going to get really rich this summer.

Look at the money Klay, Parsons, and Hayward got. Max or near-max for all of them. Matthews is 28 so he may not get quite that much but he'll definitely get paid. Ariza got $32 mil over 4 years, which looks like a steal in retrospect. Same for DeRozan's $40 mil over 4 years. I think Wes will go for $13-14 mil/year.

I'm thinking 12 mil personally and I wouldn't be surprised if he's getting 13-14. All would be a steal for the type of player you get in return

I was calculating only makes; his makes have to go up to 3.08 per game. How he gets there is up to him :D And it's not even 3.08 for the season, just 3.08 from now on.

Thanks, Brian.

What is interesting to note is that there is a good chance that Damian will have blown that out of the water by the time he's done with his 4th season.

As Blazercaravan said, Damian might hit that THIS year. There is a caveat though, Curry (in his 3rd season) played only 26 games. If he had played a whole season (or most of it), his # would've been higher. It could've been potentially 700 or so 3's.

Bear with me, as this could get confusing.

Four full NBA seasons is 328 games.

Curry's 4 seasons consisted of him playing 258 games, and hitting 644 3's.

So we're first going to base this off of 258 games.

Curry after 258 games had 644 3's.
Thompson after 258 games had 628 3's.
Damian after 258 games (projected) could have 647 to 664 3's.

After their 4th season (regardless of games missed) it could be:

Curry 644
Thompson 792*
Damian 860*

*projected

If we were to go after 311 games (the max # of games Thompson could play after 4 seasons).
Curry hit 839 (I think) in his first 311 games.
Thompson (projected based on 82 games this year and 311 total) after 4 seasons, 792.
Damian (projected on 311 total games over the 4 seasons. 46 remaining this year and 65 next year, both at 2.8 3's per game) would be about 810.

Some other interesting milestones.

If Damian can stay healthy and keeps his pace of 2.8 per game, he could hit 700 three pointer in his 270th game (70 games from now).

If he continues his pace this year AND next year, he should have 630 after this season and at the end of next season (assuming he plays 82 games) have 858+ three pointers.


Any way you look at it, it is an impressive trio of players who are hitting 3's at a historic pace. Especially Curry.
 
Austin Rivers part of Jeff Green deal

http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/1...ns-now-part-jeff-green-memphis-grizzlies-deal

The New Orleans Pelicans have agreed to send former lottery pick Austin Rivers to the Boston Celtics to help complete the Celtics' looming Jeff Green trade with Memphis, according to league sources.

Sources told ESPN.com that the Pelicans have been recruited to join the trade struck Friday by the Celtics and Grizzlies by sending Rivers to Boston and taking on guard Quincy Pondexter from the Grizzlies.

Usually injuries are bad for one team, good for the other...Joey Crawford injured his knee during the Mavs clippers game. Everybody wins?

Hope he gets well though.

I was at the RG for the draft party, sitting behind someone wearing a Hornets cap. He was pissed that they drafted rivers and I was sharing my condolences with him. Ultimately he couldnt be too upset because they got AD with the #1.

RoyToy still thinks Rivers will be better than Lillard. Or so he said so about a month ago.

There was this one guy who insisted Marquis Teague would be better than Lillard. Is he even still in the NBA anymore?
 
You know, for a crappy underachieving program, UW can send some guards to the Association. Roy/Wroten/Q-Pon/Thomas/Ross/Krypto-Nate....Will Conroy should've been better.

Williams-Goss will be the next. Romar is a great recruiter. But thats where it ends. He's a horrible in game coach. Same goes for Ernie Kent. Same could be said for Calipari as well. He's lost a lot of big games on coaching error.

I thought we covered up all of calaparis errors??

Am I the only one that thinks The Clippers targeting Austin Rivers is hilarious? Are the Clippers giving up on contending? Can you tell me that the desire to get rivers has nothing to do with his dad being the coach?
 
Holy crap, I just saw the Thunder schedule, they played on Friday and are off till next Thursday. Talk about a break.
 
Whiteside is a stud! 12/8 in the first half vs the clippers

I was one. I ( like the others) wanted Rivers at #11. (No one wanted him at 6th) But he was gone and we got Leonard.

I am sure glad he didn't fall a spot then! Doubt we would pick two (somewhat) similar Guards in the same draft anyways.
 
I'll admit I wanted rivers. After he hit that game winning 3 over unc I was convinced he was the next Roy lol

I still think be can be a good player though, he'll carve out a role and be a journeyman, like Bayless did.

I just wanted a a SG. Lamb was the only other option and I would have taken him too instead of a center. (Unless Drummond fell)
I still see falsies from Rivers that makes me believe he can make it. Still young
