A one-year $7 million contract with Golden State boosts Kwame Brown's career earnings to $58,477,908.

lmao

kwame brown is the center against which all future nba centers will be judged.

that’s amazing xp

I thought this was a good piece about Chris Paul and the current situation:

Chris Paul wants it all

honestly, kwame isn't terrible

ppl will always think he's worse than he is bcuz of where he was drafted, but at this point in his career he's useful as a back up center

really shows you how rare it is to find a 7 footer that is merely competent

damn, that was a challop

good ol stone hands brown

I agree that Kwame is competent. Last year he was actually almost competent+. He can't help his draft placement or being crushed under the callous thumb of one Michael Jordan.

i mean, kwame would be the third best big man on the lakers

He'd also be just the third big on the Lakers, right?

c's re-sign jeff green = halp

the lakers have bigs, they're just not very good or very inexperienced

yeah kwame averaged short of 8pts and 7reb, half a block and 2 and a half fouls last year and that was a CAREER RESURGENCE

he's also a bummer and has the worst hands in the nba i've ever seen, if i were a gm i'd take a flyer on three bigs from the d-league and assume i can patch together 15 minutes of kwame-esque play for probably 1/10th of the price

or just go small if im lacking a real center, so are 15 or 20 other teams

Kwame has better hands than Dampier or Adonal Foyle. Granted, that's not saying much, but he is far from the biggest stiff to have a long and monetarily rewarding career.

Pacers, though, could still be outbid by Wolves, who want Crawford to play 2 guard next to Rubio with Barea completing three-guard rotation

really? KHAN wants to play a backcourt of ricky rubio, jamal crawford and jj barea? ok

don't forget luke ridnour

ridnour/crawford backcourt may be the funniest thing I will have ever seen in the nba

that is the most hilarious guard rotation

stein says that they're flipping ridnour if they sign crawford

ESPNSteinLine Marc Stein
Wolves have long believed that Luke Ridnour has ample trade value ... and he must judging by the way Team PG is going after new guards

I want Ridnour on the Lakers, just because Kobe would make him cry during games.

would love to see steve blake and ridnour on the court at the same time

i really hope kahn goes into tv once he inevitably gets canned

YOU GUYS

here's KG on chemistry

KG: "Chemistry is something that you don’t just throw in a frying pan and mix it up with another something and throw something on top of that and then fry it up and put in a tortilla and put it in microwave, heat it up, give it to you and expect it to taste good. You know? If y'all don't know what I'm talking about then you can't cook and this doesn't concern you."

<3 <3 <3

:)

god i love that man

in peter may's book about the 07/08 celtics he talks about doc going to kg's house in malibu to try to convince him to join the team and he specifically called out that kg and wife of kg served top-notch sandwiches for lunch.

if you gave me the choice of eating at WD-50 or KG's house for dinner I'd probably pick KG's house tbh

w/o a doubt

kg is a master molecular gastronomer everyone knows

Here's Pierce on Ray Allen: "He’s definitely my inspiration, just the way he’s been consistently great, at his age of 42." (Ray is 36, BTW)
