I had no idea McHulk was struggling so much in Miami, so far he is just playing 9.5mpg has a negative PER (-4.17) and has yet to have an assist

he missed his first game because of the injury and has been brought along slowly.

Was going to post the same thing earlier but to be fair he is coming off an injury and has only played 19 minutes so far this season.

Still, I expected him to hit the ground running. Honestly now that it appears that Miami could actually be a factor in the playoff race I'm going to be pulling for him a little less :lol:

We play against McRoberts & the Heat tomorrow. I'll be tuned in like always. Just thought I'd remind some

The Suns are so much fun to watch. IT was a huge pick up. Had crazy alleyoop to Gerald Green tonight.

And he makes half of what Walker will. Yikes

Since we're so found of tracking former players or free agents that we targeted, Hayward is averaging almost 19 ppg on 48% FG% and 37% 3PT%, 7.3 RPG and 5.3 apg. That is max-level production.

It's almost like Cho knew what he was doing when he though that maybe Gordon fit in better than Lance.

Crazy thought of the day...

Spurs failed to extend Leonard. Next offseason let's offer him a very player favorable max deal and see if we can pull off a miracle and have SAS let him go.

Roll into next season with:

Kemba / Roberts
Lance / [Neal] [FA or draft pick SG]
MKG / Hairston
Leonard / Vonleh
Al / Zeller

With Lance, Kemba, MKG, Zeller, Roberts, Vonleh, and Hairston on the books, we'd have 38,229,703 in salary (just north of $27M in cap space). That assumes we find a taker for Marvin Williams (for pure cap space), Gerald opts out, and all of Biz, Neal, Pargo, Maxiell, and Taylor are cut, and that doesn't factor in our draft pick. We're not re-signing Big Al and shelling out anything close to max salary with $25-26M in cap space. The only way that's remotely possible is if pull off an insane S&T deal with San Antonio where we throw multiple picks, along with $13M+ worth of contracts.

I mean, I didn't say it would be easy... :lol:

Early in the season, but hoping Sloan continues to outplay Wall and bring it home for Indiana.

Liver_Pooty · Post #14 » by **Liver_Pooty** » Thu Nov 6, 2014 3:55 am

Hayward is having a fantastic season thus far. He would have been fantastic next to MKG and Kemba at the 2 guard,

Did Utah not pick up Kanters option?

Why?

Because he don't play a lick of defense. I think they just didn't extend him. They'll have his RFA rights and will likely retain him on the QO.

Irving is keeping them in that game. Love has been trash.

Well he would look great on our team right now, thats for sure.

I think we may make a play for him, i have to reason to think that other than needing a C (starting or backup depending on Al) and keeping the Utah-Charlotte pipeline going
