so assuming they become a better three point shooting team they will be a better three point shooting team
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Saturday, 10 December 2011 21:05 (twelve years ago) link
why will the heat be a better three point shooting team exactly
battier and (hopefully healthy) miller and house.
Ethan Skolnick @EthanJSkolnick -- With Jones/Battier/Miller/House, Spoelstra has four shooters historically at 38 percent of better from 3.

lol 'historically'
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Saturday, 10 December 2011 21:06 (twelve years ago) link
those guys are indeed historical
yes, if they sign the player with the best secondary percentage in the league and successfully rehab a player known as a sniper before he was injured, i would say they become a better 3 pt shooting team

Joseph Goodman @MiamiHeraldHeat -- #Heat center Eddy Curry says he lost 70 pounds. Looks like he needs to lose another 50.
i'm rooting for curry now, tho.

and you realize they had three of those guys last year
i do not deny it.
― Daniel, Esq., Saturday, 10 December 2011 21:09 (twelve years ago) link
and you still have to contend w/the fact that the guys on the heat who actually take all the shot dont shoot the three well
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Saturday, 10 December 2011 21:09 (twelve years ago) link
also it should be pointed out to all the miller apologists that even when hes been healthy over the last five or so years his usage rate has been laughably low, he either cant get open, doesnt want to shoot or more likely some combo of the two
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Saturday, 10 December 2011 21:10 (twelve years ago) link
i stand by my point that if the heat get billups the nba might as well not even play this season
― k3vin k., Saturday, 10 December 2011 21:15 (twelve years ago) link
i'm sure eddy curry has a ways to go no matter what -- and maybe he's washed-up beyond repair -- but he looks much better than the last time i saw pictures of him. anyway, good for him, whether or not he can resume his nba career.

Who knows? Coulda been talking about the UK game, could be sayin' they're gonna win because of David West, could be sayin' he's out the door, could be that his team won the scrimmage. Or he won in 2K12. Who knows?

should Billups really be worried that some random lottery team is going to snap up his 13m salary this season?

pretty sure you're gonna be a free agent, chaunce

why take a chaunce
― dayo, Sunday, 11 December 2011 01:46 (twelve years ago) link
they don't have to pay it all! The high bidder - which could be for the vet's minimum - gets his services. The Knicks pick up the difference between the bid and his guarantee.

he = rondo
― Daniel, Esq., Sunday, 11 December 2011 01:49 (twelve years ago) link
and yeah, high bidder gets billups, but high bidder has to pay something toward his old salary. so if billups makes clear he'll retire if chosen by a below-cap team, it could give him leverage (the below-cap teams don't want to throw money away).
― Daniel, Esq., Sunday, 11 December 2011 01:50 (twelve years ago) link
maybe rondo just lost to gordon hayward at starcraft
― Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 11 December 2011 01:50 (twelve years ago) link
man he still hasnt responded to my tweet how inconsiderate
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Sunday, 11 December 2011 01:51 (twelve years ago) link
But there is a salary floor, and they have to pay someone to reach it. Could see a team take a flyer on Chauncey for a few million if it brought them to that level, hoping to convince him to help their youngsters. Maybe they could promise to cut him before the deadline for signing on with a contender.
― EZ Snappin, Sunday, 11 December 2011 01:52 (twelve years ago) link
no; billups made clear that's exactly what he doesn't want.
more likely, i'd say, is a below-cap team will choose him for spite or to trade him to the team of billups' choice.
― Daniel, Esq., Sunday, 11 December 2011 01:53 (twelve years ago) link
either way, i think billups is creating leverage for himself.
and as i say, i think it's a fascinating new front in this war between owerns and players over player-movement. if the cba was supposed to settle these issues, it hasn't happened, and the compressed nature of this preseason (and the impending free-agent class of next year) is exposing the ugliness in owner/player relations.
