Calling it now. James Jones signs him to a min deal next year. JJ gets hard seeing past their prime centers who can pass the ball decent.

I thought he was awesome when I first saw him on Atlantis. I revisited it a couple of years ago and found the whole show a lot less awesome this time around, Momoa included. Of course I’m finding the whole damn world a lot less awesome lately.Kryptonic wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2025 5:21 pmMuch better casting imho.Wally_West wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2025 3:09 pmI guess he’s playing Lobo now in a new Supergirl movieKryptonic wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2025 2:58 pmAlways liked him...

I guarantee he will get a third contract higher than the minimum.

Re: Around the NBA: Week 12 (1/6- 1/12)
From the guy who said he’s so amazing it sounds like you’re finally accepting he’s not a max player…. I commend you on taking the first step in acceptance that Aytons not a great player.JeremyG wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2025 7:27 pmI’m not the one setting it absurdly low.

Re: Around the NBA: Week 12 (1/6- 1/12)
Back in the old days, a free agent big man would get a bloated contract if he had any semblance of talent or potential whatsoever. It seems like we've passed that era; you don't see teams going quite as nuts over marginal big men any more. I bet Ayton gets something modest for his next contract, like the MLE maybe. Not more, maybe much less. He's quite bad these days, but he does get you a decent amount of double-doubles.

Re: Around the NBA: Week 12 (1/6- 1/12)
The only thing gross was having to watch a center like Frye who couldn't get a double-double if his life depended on it.

Re: Around the NBA: Week 12 (1/6- 1/12)
Frye was hugely underrated here. He was before his time as a spacer from the 5. Elite shooting…defense was just ok and he wasn’t a great rebounder, but offensively elite.
Re: Around the NBA: Week 12 (1/6- 1/12)
I admire the dedication at this point. Good for you.
