Around the NBA - new season chatter

[3toheadmelo]

i thought durant was gonna be done after that fall

I never thought he would still have his hops after the injury

[mpharris36]

Davis Bertans is averaging 10 PPG shooting 33% from the field and 31% from 3. Thank god we didn’t give him the bag. Always thought he was overrated af

he's 3-5...its so early shooting numbers can change after 5 games. Dude is pulling up all over the place. Bad defender but he requires to be guarded at all times so he's a weapon even without the ball.

Def not worth what he was paid...but no one ever is...people get paid in FA.

You know you looks good. Christian Wood.

Bertans is an ok bench player. That contract looks awful in my eyes. Much rather have Randle.

I mean Randle playing like this...yes. We shall see if he keeps this up all season.

Its just if you want to pry a FA away you will have to overpay at some point. I'm not saying I would have paid Bertans I'm just saying in general.

looks exactly the same. it's crazy.

[3toheadmelo]

Lol why would you foul Westbrook on a 3

they had randle. they drafted obi. they're invested in mitch. they really didn't need another big. they need guards. woods is doing very good, on offense, but so what ?

Looking like a horrible overpay so far

again 5 games...he has one good shooting night it will be what it is. He wont shoot 33% for the season from 3.

Not worried about his shooting...the defense is yikes.

Njn is really going to miss Dinwiddie.

Take a +1 for referring to the Nets by their proper state!

-5 for still having that damn sig up.

they had randle. they drafted obi. they're invested in mitch. they really didn't need another big. they need guards. woods is doing very good, on offense, but so what ?

I agree. I'm not suggesting the knicks sign him, I was referring to what Melo considers an "overpay".

[Capn'O]

We should help them by giving them Payton. I’ll take Kurocs & Shamet

Good thought. However, we cannot trade Payton this year because it's a thingy when you sign players to consecutive 1 year contracts.

[ChaosHamster]

Bertans is on minutes restriction because he missed basically all the training camp. He got in USA really late because of visa issues.

Hes gonna be fine.

$80 million just for 10 PPG off the bench with no defense. No thanks lol

for myself, i'm at the point though where i feel like if i take it down the knicks will start losing

i'm with you. i thought that was one of the worst contracts of free agency. per year it's not so bad but the hell do you need to give him 5 years ?

[ChaosHamster]

lol, overreactions after the first 5 games..

again you are taking his numbers this year at face value. If he end the year at 10 ppg with 33% shooting from deep you win. Ok?

He already has 12 at halftime. Its been like 1 week. Gotta relax bro

shooters get paid. Joe Harris got paid too. Especially movement shooters.

Yeah you might activate the sham curse if you take it down

most role players start falling of at 30. the end of these contracts will be bad.
