A 60-game season would ensure fewer of those lackadaisical games you see in December and January. But instead of compressing the time frame by two full months, it might be nicer to get rid of those 4-games-in-6-days road trips.

also i think he's secretely trying to goad detroit into just outright not signing him
seems like that'd make sense for a lot of this year's 2nd round picks. why wait to sign in a foreign league if you don't have a guaranteed contract waiting for you at the end of the lockout?

cp3 is a pretty significant upgrade over rondo, as much as i love rondo - he's probably the second-best defensive 1 in the game (to rondo) and on offense can do anything rondo can do but better
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 30 November 2011 23:44 (twelve years ago) link
wow so many rondos in that post
word is cp3 would not sign an extension with the Cs anyway, so that deal is probably done
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 30 November 2011 23:45 (twelve years ago) link
i think everyone is speculating sign + trade so he can get more cash
i have no idea why he wouldn't want to go there -- i guess they're old but they're one of the best run orgs in the business. unless he really wants to play for the clippers.

idk i don't really blame him, their future doesn't look great beyond the next couple years and who knows how long doc'll want to coach
he'd make more sense in the celtics current system than westbrook, mostly due to his defense - although they do need another player who can create (and make) his own shot
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 30 November 2011 23:57 (twelve years ago) link
paul would assassinate people on this year's celtics -- they already get such an insane amount of open shots. if they got him i think they'd be the favorites in the east.
― v-shasty, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 23:58 (twelve years ago) link
yeah i probably agree
― k3vin k., Thursday, 1 December 2011 00:00 (twelve years ago) link
but i'm not sure if they'll get him this season
if i'm the hornets/the nba idk if i'd want rondo back -- you have to have a very specific team around him (i.e. one that can convert all is passes into assists, bcuz he's not really scoring)

Fresh off signing a five-year contract extension with the Bulls worth nearly $95 million, Derrick Rose is said to be closing in on another lucrative deal.Actually?Lucrative is seriously underselling it based on the figures dribbling in to us.One industry source insisted to ESPN.com this week that Rose's new shoe deal with adidas will easily crack nine figures and could legitimately approach the $250 million range -- as in $25 million annually over a 10-year span -- in what is known in the shoe game as a "lifetime" deal.How can the reigning MVP possibly command those kind of dollars as a shoe endorser? Here's how: Rose, as it was explained to me, is adidas' only counter to Kobe Bryant in China. I'm told Rose already outsells LeBron James there.

"I don't know what that was," center DeMarcus Cousins said. "Running the offense coach tells us to run. Just doing what coach say. Got to do what your coach say."Tyreke Evans, who scored 14 points on 5-for-13 shooting, seemed even more out of sorts."I just try to get open as I can and create," Evans said. "It's no real set for me, nobody really in the offense. Just pass, cut. We lost; nobody really knows what to do. I think that's what's really hurting us right now."We just look lost," Evans said. "We're just playing off our natural talent to get our points. It's terrible right now. We've just got to figure something out."
