MM returns at the same time as "the soup juggler" is finally playing well - coincidence?

13.8 PER is almost an average NBA player. You go, Dion

 

[Trackjack]

The only one knows what teams are interested in our players it Olshey. He is the one that recieves the phone call from other teams and he prett shut lip guy.

 

[dviss1]

Who contributes more overall to the team, Crabbe? Meyers? Plumlee? Crabbe better shooter, Meyers better athlete, but Plumlee does more for the team.

IMO Plumlee is looking at a $14mill a year payday.

Meyers Leonard is not a better athlete than Plumlee.

 

[Trackjack]

Meyers Leonard is not a better athlete than Plumlee.

I totally agree with you.

 

[THE HCP]

Meyers Leonard is not a better athlete than Plumlee.

Yes he is.....Mase just does more with less!

Bro, the Plumlees jump outta the gym. Mason included. He's faster, more agile, and moves WAY better laterally than Beiber.

I hear what you're saying.....but according to all the 40 times, bench press and other stats that measure athleticism, the experts say he is more "athletic". As far as applying your god given talents, Mase definitely has used what he's got better.

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

I think the myth that Leonard and Pat are crazy athletes needs to be stopped.

 

[Trackjack]

If Myers is such athletic why doesn't he show it on the court.

He's a mental midget when it comes to basketball.

 

[riverman]

Meyers is to basketball what Clyde Drexler was to Dancing with the stars

Well we'll agree to disagree. But just go to combine stats. The only thing Meyers does is jump and his 32 inch vert is not higher than Mase's MUCH higher 36 inches.

Not just the vert, but Mase also had the better scores on the 3/4 court sprint and the agility drill. Bench press is the only thing Leonard did better.

 

[dviss1]

First, Strength is not athleticism. 2nd, I think you just spouted something a quick Google search could easily defeat when you said:

40 times, bench press and other stats that measure athleticism, the experts say he is more "athletic".

Because what the experts really said was:

Plums Lane Agility: 10:89
Beiber Lane Agility: 11:34

Plums No Step/Max Vert: 30.5/36
Beiber No Step/Max Vert: 30/32.5

Plums Sprint: 3:29
Beiber Sprint: 3:41

And please tell me, when in HELL did the NBA start using 40 times as a metric?

Bruh... Learn the game then post @HCP

Meyers moves like a tree gained legs for a day. He's athletic relative to his size.

Plumlee moves like a much smaller man. Just look at him running fast breaks with the ball in his hands. He does it better than say Connaughton. Plumlee is ridiculously athletic. His limitations come from a lack of length.

 

[dviss1]

Pound for pound, Plums is IMO our most athletic player. Yes over Dame, Harkless, and OF COURSE Beiber.

Funny though, he and Meyers both have a Standing Reach of 9.0.

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

And for the record, Meyers does NOTHING better than Plumlee other than shoot 3s hesitantly.

I personally think my post above deserves more likes. @HCP spouts hyperbole and gets likes, gets refuted with real facts, and the facts post isn't liked by those who liked the hyperbole.

Thanks Trump.

 

[Sinobas]

Dviss, haven't you heard, 10 million dollars is now like minimum wage in today's NBA.....

Well...that's what some fucktards thing anyway.

 

[THE HCP]

You been watching basketball long? Athleticism is only a minor key to success in this league. More freak athletes have failed than succeeded. Harold Minor and Elliot Williams on line 1&2.....

Relax homie.....remember, The HCP flys on the team plane, so he knows MORE than you!

Elliot Williams multiple injuries is also on line 3... he says it's urgent.

 

[Boob-No-More]

For anyone who thinks Mason Plumlee is getting less $18 million/year, I have two words: Timofey Mosgov.

Last summer, fresh off a season that saw him average 6.3 ppg and 4.4 rpg, Mozgov received a 4 year $64 million contract from the Los Angeles Lakers. For the mathematically disinclined, that comes out to $16 million/year.

The NBA just announced the revised 2017-18 cap estimate yesterday. They bumped it up by $1 million to $103 million. That's an increase of 9.4% over the final 2016-17 salary cap of $94.143 million.

So, if we assume a 9.4% increase that makes $17.5 million the summer of 2017's Mosgov money.

Plumlee is over three and a half years younger than Mosgov, and he's actually a good player. He's currently averaging 11.1 ppg, 8.0 rpg (and 4.0 apg) with a PER of 18.8.

It's true, there is only one Jim Buss, and only so many dumb ass GMs in general, but it only takes ONE offer to set Plumlee's market rate (see: Crabbe, Allen). And you just know there is at least one GM out there that will do it - either because he actually really wants Plumlee, or he kinda wants Plumlee, but REALLY wants to fuck over Neil Olshey.

I been in basketball longer than you. Yes lot of them failing and right now so is Myers.

 

[THE HCP]

Listen son....Nobody is questioning whether or not Meyers is succeeding, this conversation is about his athleticism. And interesting you have "been in" basketball longer than me, cause you obviously haven't been "watching" it longer.....not if you think a player being athletic is the reason he succeeds or fails.
