Common denominator in their succeses is that Randolph was there and Gay wasn't. Gay was there for their 1st round exit though.

You could try it but 4.6 million is fairly easy to trace and the result would be big fines well beyond the 4.6 million and possibly other penalties like lost draft picks or something.

Not a surprise at all, neither one of them was going to turn down their options.

And so did Gay. My point is about how a team operates with Gay on the roster and I don't think its for the better.

Mark Warkentein was Denver's gm and won EOY in 2009. One year later he was let go while in the middle of negotiations for an extension.

Well Derozan would receive a bigger contract in this offseason then what his extension is worth & the contract that Nash was offered would be the equivelent of Landry and Lowry's contracts. The...

I'm sure you would. Ever think that a factor is that Memphis with Gay was more of an ISO team which is easier to defend especially when the two ISO players (Gay and Randolph) are poor passers. Take...

No, they both played all the games. Might have been tough to notice them on the court since almost everyone's touches went down except for Rudy's. Clippers managed to force the ball into the hands...

You are assuming it would be him showing commitment. Maybe Denver ownership isn't showing commitment to him. Not uncommon for people running businesses to say one thing publicly but not actually...

Carreer suicide can be done in many ways. The wrong trade can do it just as easily, the wrong draft pick, etc. I know you have been selling up the Denver in this discussion but they have never...

Only positive there IMO is Drummond and Nash is a negative IMO that takes away from that some.

Fails to follow up in Denver and he could easily be ousted in a year or two and looked at as a flash in the pan. It can work both ways.

For similar anonymous reasons that it could be in Toronto. It could just as easily not work out in Denver as here.

Is it compensation or is it allowing a better team player to handle the ball more? Personally think taking the ball out of a poor decision makers hands and putting it into a better decision makers...

Went to high school in Wiliston, ND and university in Grand Forks. Both very close to Brandon, maybe we can convince him to start a NBL Canada team here.

Could be but choosing to stay in Denver could be career suicide also.

I think Memphis is a better team without Gay. Getting the ball out of his hands and into Gasol's more makes them a better team IMO. I do think the Westbrook injury was an extremely lucky break for...

There certainly were a few other factors for BC but its not like there couldn't be for Uriji either. Denver's owner has been described as miserly also which is the reason for some of the rumors. ...

I have said the gap wasn't as big but as I mentioned at the time even though the gap had narrowed 95% of gms were still saying Oden was the #1 pick if they were drafting. Personally don't think BC...

BC basically did the same thing in Pheonix when he moved to Toronto. Coming off an EOY Pheonix didn't really want to pay him what he wanted. Some teams don't seem to want to pay gm's much. There...

Don't think there was really a shift in his approach to the draft over the years. Each draft was handled individually and there really hasn't been a philosophy change. Some years he takes the best...

Everything they talk about and are doing regarding expansion seems to be in the slow and steady mode. Don't think we'll see a team in the maritimes until atleast 3 years after Ottawa, so maybe 2017.

Note how what we are talking about is the 06 draft (June 2006) and that if it wasn't restructured you are claiming BC would have taken Durant. Also notice how that article is from the end of January...

The talks about BC 'revolutionizing' the game had more to do with reasoning behind drafting Bargs. If there was a clear cut #1 BC would have taken that player and that player was Oden. As much as...

Thats a terrible comparison. Oden was the #1 pick, there wasn't really a question about it. The Bargs draft was a question from the outset. Aldridge was viewed as a pf like Bosh, Bargs was looked...
