He has crazy offensive skills, is a decent enough scorer, suspect defense, but his upside says he might develop into something pretty good.

That being said........The boy is a jackass, did anybody see how he reacted after his teammate hit that one game winner??? The whole team was excited and celebrating his dumb**** was pouting.

He needs an Aaron Rodger type draft night where he sits and waits and waits, perhaps even a Geno Smith type draft where he doesn't get drafter til the next day but the NBA does it all in 2 rounds so i hope he falls into the early 2nd round just so he can learn some HUMILITY!!!!

This makes sense. OKC would get a true PG still young, and Boston would get someone who could carry the scoring load. We all know that Russ is erratic on the offensive end and dominates the ball sometimes so that would definitely be dope to have OKC with a relatively pure PG. Boston gets the young scorer they can rely on, and just need some minor adjustments and for all we know this team could wind up contending pretty early on in the post KG/Pierce era.

The issue with the MVP is the context in which it is applied to it's recipient. The league has for years issued it to the player whom has performed at the highest level of all, from a standpoint of on=court performance correlating to the team being elite. This is where the debate begins. Most OUTSTANDING player??(or biting from PIFA soccer, Player of the Year??) LeBron James hands down.

Most VALUABLE Player??? That's another situation. You could make the case for Melo, Durant, hell, even D-Rose riding the bench. You see how these guys change the complexion of their team's play.

Wording and context is what fuels this debate. But given what we all know the MVP of the NBA to denote, no one can deny LeBron. All world ****-bag, narcissist, arrogant jackass, best player in the league PERIOD!!

Washington is going to wind up giving him a max deal, simply to secure him. There's some team out there dumb enough to enter a bidding war with Washington to pay him competitively, so just to get it out of the way and lock him in at 22-23 years old moving forward they're gonna give him the max.

Does he deserve such a deal at this point? HELL NO. But his play this season has been a rather compelling argument. If he progresses from where he is now into next year then the team should look into the max deal, but they're gonna shell it out to keep him.

In the context of this here article i'd just like to make aware that Sarver is barely a billionaire. His finances have fallen into question ever since he purchased the Suns, and he is also becoming widely regarded as a terrible owner.

And i sincerely hope they take heed to your idea of renovation. Because lord knows the city of PHoenix cannot afford this right now, not with lightrail debt sales taxes going into effect, neighboring Glendale is broke from all them stadiums. It is becoming increasingly expensive to live in Arizona.

He's always been a sensitive little softy, going through stuff in life and always having a heavy heart therefore letting that stuff interfere with his on-court demeanor. If it's one thing he should've learned from Kobe is to use basketball as a refuge, or release from whatever is eating away at your soul. If you're angry, go out on the court and take that frustration out on your opponent. I gues he isn't built that way. He more than Ron Ar.... umm.... Metta World Peace needs a therapist. Whomever is gonna sign this guy needs to sit him down and have a long talk with him before even offering him a contract.

JGB come on, i'm disappointed you're disappointed in him. He's not gonna win a 'chip at all. regardless of where he goes. He doesn't want to be like Barkley back in the 90's running from PHX to the team that knocked him out two years after they went to the finals. That in my mind would be pitiful. Grant Hill is going to be a hall of famer, and the fact that he decided to stay put in PHX for the final couple years of his career only solidifies his legacy in my mind.

I usually lack respect for a lot of players who don't win championships but Grant Hill, knowing what he's been through deserves every right to make up his own mind as to how he wants to handle his career. Classy guy, glad he's on my team.

It's your opinion though i just thought i'd share a bit with you, no disrespect intended.

Seattle yes!!!! San Diego maybe St. Louis hit or miss prospect and Pittsburgh is a definite no no. That city will never support basketball, especially david Stern's brand.

Nontheless, this would be another disappointing relocation move in the nba as Memphis was just about to turn the corner putting a quality product on the floor in a small market.

Take this thing for what it is. Jeremy Lin was given the ball and the confidence of his coaches, and was told to go do something. He did it. It ran through him, he made mistakes but his upside is great. The problem is 'Melo. Lin is great when running the floor and creating for others. 'Melo is terrific and most productive ONLY when creating for himself. It's not gonna work with Lin. One of them had to go. I'd prefer to watch Melo go.

More than anything Jeremy Lin still needs to develop but there is reason for the hype. For a couple weeks of february, he lived up to it.

Brandon Roy is young. Secondly, on those degenerative knees, he gave a stellar performance during the playoffs. He knows he will not be able to be the star he could've been, but if he can get comfortable on the floor, who are we to say no.

In this new era of modern medicine, anything is possible. Microfracture knee surgeries used to mean curtains for many NBA careers, jason kidd had it done, still [playing he about 45 now. C-Webb had 'em still played 7 seasons after. Amare did it twice and he still ballin'. Not saying it's microfracture but my point is the treatments that are available.

He did say "if this works". Let's just wait and see.

And being that it's a classy individual like Brandon Roy, I hope and pray he can pull this one off. I'd be happy if he did.

T-Mac as been on the mend these last two seasons. and if you watch his minutes you will see that he has been contributing. Give him the minutes he will help the squad. He's not getting the minutes, he can't help the squad. He's getting $1.5mil to ride the bench, i actually appreciate him getting frustrated because every player in the league needs to be itchin' to get off the bench and get minutes. And make all the dumb jokes you want, you can't blame a former scoring champ for wanting to contribute.

This guy sucks. Isn't the Combine done by invitation?? Cause if so, how the hell did this dude even get invited.?

^^Cosign^^ let's be honest. Basketball is a business and if it's not profitable to keep the team in that given city then they need to move on.

This kid got skills. He has immense potential, and he's a competitor. The minute your backupQb's are content as backup Qb's then you need to cut 'em loose. Harbaugh and 49er nation in general should be happy to have this on their team.

With that said Mr. Kaeppernick, shut up. It's show and tell time.

he could contribute, every team needs someone to fill out their bench. You know, dudes who do nothing but cheerlead from the sidelines, come in a play role player minutes. Help out in practice.....umm..... did i say practice?????

err.. sorry, nevermind.

I tip my hat to you as race is indeed a rather unmentioned sentiment in this dispute. Spot on friend.

Actually he did pass his SAT. He found out after draft night.

But i do Agree. KG shouldn't talk one ounce about this labor situation seeing the effect contracts like his had in previous labor diputes. And in these the final years of his career, he on the books for 20 mil+

Sad.

Good for you Andray.

He'll be productive. Not "Randy Moss of old" type productive, but about 800 yards maybe 8 touchdowns productive. Freakish athlete, lost a step but you're better off taking Randy Moss who lost a step than not at all.

With that said, i do believe that the interest on the market is lukewarm mainly because he's old and he's a headcase. He doesn't work well in non-competitive environments and he'll become very miserable and possibly rip your locker room apart (see Oakland Raiders 2005), antagonizing everyone. Thus the best place for this guy would be a toss up between Baltimore(Ray Lewis will kick his ass if he acts up), or back in New England. Both teams compete, both teams have strong locker room presence.

There are many doubters, and he's got a chip on his shoulder. He is worth a look at least.

I see a lot of clamoring for younger players on here but honestly, who? Any suggestions?

Pittsburgh Pa = HELL NO!!!
Columbus OH = hit or miss
Omaha Nebraska = also hit or miss

The NBA isn't making money like it used to, partially because of the fact that 57% of the revenue is going into player contracts. Small market teams with slumping ticket sales(NO and the Pacers) are losing big because they barely have a decent product on the floor each night. This star driven league has the marquee players playing in major markets, NY MIA LA Chicago Dallas Boston, with more itching to follow(CP3, and other free agents).

My point is, this being the trend in today's NBA(Thanks LeBron), there's practically no more room for small market teams anymore. They're all in trouble. Even the Suns, quiet as kept are in financial difficuly. Steve Kerr tried to get better pay for his staff, he got chewed out by Sarver. Then Amare was allowed to leave, not because they didn't wanna pay him. More because they couldn't afford what he was asking for.

The players don't know what they're doing because even though the GM's and ownership made the mistakes in the past shelling out this boatloads of money and not getting a proper return on their investment, taking such a hard stance with ownership is going to get you less than you bargained for, especially when we consider that these guys are getting more than half of revenue raised by the league.

Usually i'd be anti establishment and for the empowerment of these guys(the athletes 80% young blacks) but this time, the establishment is in the right.
