Saying Andy is a rebounder, scrappy defender and nothing more is wrong?

The fuck?

Andy basically averages 11/12 while playing very frustrating defense. Saying he's overpriced is what was wrong.

Andy just recently had a 20/20 game as well.. LeBron was not in the line-up.

It didn't say he did nothing more it said the Cavs need him to do more. I wouldn't say he is over paid based on the current NBA contracts. 8 million a year seems about right.

I don't think anything he said about Varejao is incorrect. But Jamison's contract is worse. I know it's expiring, but he included Jermaine O'Neal's expiring contract so that shouldn't be relevant.

They ran an ad to congratulate Jordan and in return he sues them.

They should run a new ad congratulating Roster Player for dominating NBA Live 98.

I'm so sick of having to watch celtics play on national tv. They're not a good team.

I didn't realize the Chinese league ended so early. Was JR a FA? I thought he still belonged to the Nuggets.
If Lin and Melo can coexist, the Knicks will be a dangerous team to draw in the playoffs imo.

Yeah him, Kmart and Chandler were all FA's. Only Chandler was a restricted FA so we're gonna get him back. Pretty much knew JR and Martin were gonna be gone.

He is the only one of those 3 that is worth having back imo.

For our team yes, but JR Smith could help plenty of teams with adding offense off the bench

How often do you see a guard leading NBA in scoring being guarded by a 39 year old?

Brandon Knight with 23 points, 10 assists and 6 rebounds.
Tayshaun Prince with 22 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists.
DeMarcus Cousins with 26 points, 15 rebounds and 3 assists.

Not a bad game to see if you're rooting for UK alums.

I watched that game, and even UK alums couldnt have been happy.

Those two teams are not good.
