Marshall throws more pinpoint bounce passes between defenders in a game than Jose does in a season.

Per Forbes, top 5 NBA endorsement earners in 2013: LeBron $42M; Kobe $34M, Rose $21M, Durant $14M, Wade $12M

21 mil for sitting on the bench. Crazy.

Didn't know that Jordan Hill is disabled, seemed pretty normal

Brook Lopez is technically disabled by his injury and the Nets get money for that.

Why would ATL even consider trading Teague? make zero sense to me. The trade talks around Teague must be BS reporting

1. Maybe they love Shroeder as their future PG

2. Not enamoured with the offer sheet Teague with MIL leaving them no choice but to match

Good points, but

1. We are not seeing Schroeder during practice, but gamewise he has been getting DNP-CDs after DNP-CDs; and has not looked like much during his cameos.

2. 8 million per for the next 4 years for a 25 years old PG with his numbers and the forecast of him being a future All Star is pretty much like DeMar's contract.

Caron Butler in Milwaukee makes a little more sense now. Pretty surreal story of his.

Teague is having a really bad year. Check out that 3P% and WS%. Those and other numbers are brutal relative to what he's being paid.

Really bad year?? the man had All Star considerations and has kept his team in playoff contentions in spite of Horford's injury..

What the heck is WS% anyway?.

Yes, a really bad year. His shooting percentages are terrible.

As for WS%, check it out yourself: http://www.basketball-reference.com/pla ... uje01.html

League average is .100, and that's exactly where Teague is for his career. This year he's significantly below it at .075.

When Toronto played Atlanta last, Schroder looked better. I was expecting much more from Teague.

That said, If KL is leaving, I'd take Teague on the team and hope for more from him.

Nothing makes you appreciate the West more than the East. One day someone’s going to be on Wikipedia and say, “Wait, DeMar DeRozan made an All-Star Game?” Then they’ll remember this year, and this conference, and the era of sadness that came with it.

How to prove that East is insanely weak this year? Throw in a player from the Raptors. Seriously, couldn't Sharp write something about Joe Johnson instead?
