i really don’t understand why mama crawford got traded so much. dude was a blossoming young star for chicago when he started averaging 17ppg in his 3rd season and they trade him? like what
I tore my quad once before. It really is slow to fully heal. A month or two and you’ll be fully active again. The problem is how easy it can be to re-injure yourself afterwards.
Whiteside isn’t in the league because he was a constant defensive liability. His high block numbers disguise the fact that his teams always did worse defensively with him on the floor.
The '04 pistons had the best defense of all time, and it's by a landslide. There hasn't been, and never will be, another team defensively dominate as the '04 team.
Just thinking about it teams probably would like to take a chance with one of these players but you got to remember what the average NBA Salary is per season especially for bad to garbage players. I'm pretty sure once they get back in the NBA they ain't playing for a mill or two and change.
Bosh on the thumbnail? He’s extremely overrated. He had one truly elite season for the raptors as their number one option. They still were not a good team. His playoff stats regardless as a 3rd option for lots of it were still not star worthy. 12 and 7 in the finals is terrible for an guy who many claim was a “superstar”. If he wasn’t needed to score 20ppg he could have at least averaged double digit rebounds.
So we just gonna forget that he was aksed to move out of the paint and basically be a spot up guy due to his two costars not being great shooters right? Revisionist history is ridiculous. Tell me who was it that got the board that led to the game 6 saving shot by Allen again? Oh….
Willams was a dog in Utah and a good amount of his Nets career. He had injuries and his decline went quick. Simmons gave up once Philly gave up on him. Ayton if he wanted to could be much better. But he’s s double double player so he’s gonna have a solid career. But he’s not the star as expected when he went 1st. KAT isn’t a 1st option. he’s got the Dwight Howard perspective. He’s having fun. KAT this year has done his thing next to Rudy. N as the #2 to Ant. Hassan was basically at his peak when the Heat got him he was 6 years into his pro career. He was a spark for us when we wasn’t great. His skill set just wasn’t something teams make a priority. I’m a Heat fan and I’m more then happy we drafted Bam to take over.
Boston didn’t injure Thomas. He requested to play through his injury. And Boston made a business decision to move him. And IT was never the same player. Kyrie was definitely a upgrade. Boston did no wrong. It’s a business. If Boston paid him and he stayed, Celtics fans would of ended up mad at it these days. He declined more n more each season. IT hit his peak in Boston.
This is just by my understanding, not saying this is in stone perfect logic. Cousins: Couldn't defend the pick and roll by the end, constantly attacked in playoffs. Also not a reliable personality historically. Howard: Good player still but was a frustrating locker room presence who if I recall correctly was in a dispute with the NBA about following rules in the bubble and was almost dismissed from the playoffs. Whiteside: Bad locker room guy, great defensive stats but terrible results guy who chased blocks and gave up tons of points off cutters and offensive rebounds. Kemba: By the end his knees were so bad he couldn't guard anybody and was a complete liability. Stevensons: Both were just notoriously difficult personalities on and off the court. Summary being, these guys were all difficult to deal with, which is fine when they are at their peaks, but once the talent drops off they aren't worth the trouble.
