***Offical 08/09 NBA thread!***

jesus that's a pretty big contract for teams to want to take on at this time.
LOL, the clippers got rid of Z-Bo, i'm at least happy about that.
It really isn't that big. The problem is, teams want to clear cap space for 2010. If you think that is bad, look at Hamilton's //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

 
that's because he knows they'll call a foul on him, which he wont' agree with, then they'll give him a tech. He's targeted //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
If you actually watch the games, about 80% of the calls he argues he has a good case.

 
Umm yes //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif
The problem is, Rasheed never wanted to be physical. He would never fight for position in the post, even though he had the length and strength. When he did post up, which wasn't very often and in the high post at that, he wouldn't back down his defender and just shoot a turn around fade away. He has such good size, strength, and length. he also has a high release and nobody can simply block his shot. If he were to have used his talents to post up and use his outside shooting as an equalizer, he could've been the 3rd best big man in this era behind Shaq and Duncan. He also never wanted to engage in contact and block out and fight for rebounds or even try for an offensive board. He could've easily been a 20-10 guy. He was also a pretty good defender without using much effort. The fact is, he's 35 now and isn't going to change. He is who he is. A 7 foot PF with a boatload of skills who is content to wait at the 3 point line and fire whenever the ball comes his way.
Not debating with you on him, just seems the way you worded it that CV was as good a 3-pt shooter as Rasheed was. I agree about everything else, but don't know bout 3rd best big man........maybe top 10....maybe.

 
I'm not inclined to agree with you since you tend to be biased. But i'm sure that he is ousted by the officials compared to other players
How about the fact that the ref that Rasheed threatened after a game in Portland was the same ref who was later arrested and convicted for fixing games?

 
I did not know that but //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif at that
He was also the ref when Artest ran into the stands in Detroit //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
