Telfair got fouled there.

[Bishnoff]

Tucker is so much more confident on the offensive end now.

[Bishnoff]

But his passing isn't the best lol.

[Phrazbit]

This is a game I absolutely want to win. If we are going to suck, give us this one.

I save those feelings for Laker games.

[JPHX]

No one is commenting on the game in the NBA forum game thread. Shows how much we mean to PSD

[mdm692]

Fuxk them.

Not feeling well so gonna watch the rest of this from my bed. Might post on the phone if anything worth posting occurs.

[JPHX]

Need to get that Douche off the floor..like now.

[Bishnoff]

Bad third quarter.

[JPHX]

Morris doing work. Wonder if he can play the 3.

[JPHX]

Mayo becomes a FA after this season (he will definitely opt out) and I think we should offer a max contract if Dallas doesn't.

Kid's game is still growing and teams like us need to overpay to acquire proven players and young talent. That's why even if Mayo may not be exactly worth a max contract, we should still give it to him.

Of course for that, we would need to shred some salary first....

No we shouldnt. Teams that offer max deals to non max players because they are desperate for a difference maker end up being horrible teams for long periods of time.

Yeah you should never offer a FA a max deal just for the sake of it (see: Roy Hibbert). He's playing well and is worthy of a bigger contract but us giving him a max deal would not be helpful. We use up all our money on him, where do we go from there? It reduces our options big time. Just a note though, I believe we could sign him and might look to in the summer but I don't think it would be helpful to us. It would just be Sarver looking for a quick fix.

It seems Coro has quoted Gentry saying that Beasley might lose his starting spot. Do you guys think if Beasley was our sixth-man he might be more successful? If he could come in late in the quater and just play his game (instead of start and have to play within the offense) and draw the other teams attention to him that might be better? I think Tucker in the starting line-up might help us keep up with the other team in the 1st quater so it should definitely happen.
