Around the League: Week 14 3/22-3/28
Re: Around the League: Week 14 3/22-3/28
Whatever he is doing, he needs to maximize he next contract. These guys get 10-12 years if they are extremely lucky. Got to make the most while you can, because he may never work again after he turns 32.

Well, stories like this work against him to maximize his contract.
Re: Around the League: Week 14 3/22-3/28
I think it's worth noting that Iguadala's number were really diminished by the time he started coming off the bench.Split T wrote: ↑Mon Apr 05, 2021 4:34 pmAgreed, Kelly is trying to establish himself as a big time player...he may ultimately settle in as a bench player in the league, but hard to fault him for wanting to be more at this point.Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Mon Apr 05, 2021 4:31 pmRegardless of who said what, Igoudala and Oubre were in different stages of their career so their roles with the Warriors aren't analogous.
Igoudala was entering his twilight, hunting for a ring. Oubre is in his prime and trying to get the biggest bag possible.

2014 9.3 ppg
2015 7.8 ppg --> reserve
I don't mean to diminish Iggy's game. Give the choice between the 2, I would take Iggy every time. He was a very smart creator and distributor and one of the best defenders in the league. But Kelley is definitely in a different situation.

I disagree. Starting players are paid more than bench players.specialsauce wrote: ↑Mon Apr 05, 2021 5:26 pmWell, stories like this work against him to maximize his contract.

Loved Kelly when he was here but I'm so glad we avoided that situation this year.

Except he’s not a starter on a winner. And now every team that would consider signing him as a sixth man is going to run awayFlagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Mon Apr 05, 2021 6:44 pmI disagree.

Only takes one team to think he's a starter for them. The risk is worth it for Oubre.

Oh, great. The Jazz lost the game just before they play us.

Well, if we beat them on Wednesday, we’ll only by 1.5 games behind them for best record in the L. I wonder when was the last time that they lost two in a row?

Twice this season, all of them road games. Most recently at Philly and New Orleans in March, and at Brooklyn and New York (back-to-back) in January.

The Nuggets look formidable.
Re: Around the League: Week 14 3/22-3/28
Ya, nuggets are a major threat I think
Re: Around the League: Week 14 3/22-3/28
What would it have taken for us to get Gordon?
Re: Around the League: Week 14 3/22-3/28
Should have done the Oubre for Gordon trade.

Hmm, Mikal straight up would be a no for me. Denver gave up Harris(bad contract), RJ Hampton(decent prospect), and a 1st, right?
Problem is we wouldn’t really have anything they’d want. Cam Johnson maybe could replace Bridges as the prospect...though I think Orlando would have had more interest in RJ. Don’t think there was a way to beat the Denver offer without giving up Mikal.
