Also, do you think that the Miami Heat sent scouts to observe Lebron James to determine if he was worth the max contract offer? EDIT: Information is kinda old, but you get the point. http://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm

Your worst than a ESPN NBA writer LOL

Spurs and the Thunder Arguably have the best scouts in the NBA.... The Spurs have drafted so many Second round Players and have turned them into LEGITIMATE starters and Role Players... and BY STATS... they would have never signed Danny Green who actually has been a GREAT role player for the Spurs and fits their style of basketball... or Boris Diaw or Stephen Jackson LOL.,... basketball goes much deeper than advanced stats and percentages..... they only tell you what you make and what you miss but don't explain why or how or your basketball IQ

Jeremy Lin still not A+ on IQ. this is madness!

Just kidding. Surprised all are fighting over ratings here. Calm down.

Harmless has been playing great. He should have got a bump along with Vuc, and Harris. could argue oquinn should have got a small bump also.

Harkless literally just got bumped in the last update. O'Quinn is wildly inconsistent and has had 4 good games all season.

And you're worst than a politician. Answer my original question. Did the Miami Heat use scouts to determine Lerbron's worth before offering the near max contract to him?

Also, you're comparing apple to oranges when you're talking about college PROSPECTS moving up to the NBA level, and you're just trying to introduce something new to "prove" your point. We were discussing the NBA...NOT college athletes, but since you want to act like Mr. Know-It-All, lets go ahead and explore that.

First off and what I stated NUMEROUS times already, stats are not the be all end all to everything. Next, NBA stats are the END results of some sort of production, and can be used to a degree to measure basketball IQ. If you have PG A who's averaging 5 TOPG and 1 APG vs PG B who's averaging 5 TOPG and 11 APG, PG A better have some other talents to bring to the table before a coach lets him run the offense.

Scouts are used for college prospects, because COLLEGE stats are not an indication of how SUCCESSFUL a player can be in the NBA. Why? It's a DIFFERENT type of game, pace, mentality, and competition when compared to the college level. Also, contract conversations doesn't matter, because contracts are based on the position of where the player was drafted at. When a player is a rookie, his agent doesn't have any leverage to "negotiate" his contract. However, when a player's ROOKIE contract is over what do you think they're going to use to determine the amount of his next contract?

I find it funny that 2k updates all these Knicks players except Prigioni, who has been starting for them during the win streak

Agree. I like Kyle and he has shown promise but there's nothing you can touch now until maybe the last update.

If u never watch a knicks game you would not no how different j.r. Is playing. He's making geting to the rim the #1 opinon. And making the step back jumpshot the last desperate option. J.r. Is far from a one dimensional playr ksuttonjr. One of the best rebounding guards. Solid to sometimes above average defender.

And why are y'all comparing a guy Who is a second option on his team to parsons who is at best the third option who's only way of scoring is the three or points in transition. Chandler parsons is a good player with a good future but he can't even create his own shot. Parsons is in the prefect situation for his skill set.
If he was put in j.r. Position. I'm not even sure he could put up 40% shooting with all the bail out shots j.r. Has to take. When using stats u have to take them in to context as well.

Paul George is a good player with a good future but he is kinds overrated. Not a good mid ranged shooter. His handles are suspect. Dosent draw alot of fouls. And every year his FG% gets worse and worse. That's probably due to his usage getting higher. But that also tells you he can't be a highly efficient first option player and is more of a second option. He is never going to be a great scorer like some people think unless he starts drawing more fouls. As of now he is a good 3pt shooter who can drive to the rim with no mid game and suspect handles who dosent draw alot of fouls when he drives and if we wanna just use stats. There's not much of a difference between j.r smiths PER and George's . J.r 16.9. George 17.4


Happy to see the magic get some respect finally. Might use them now since they gave Tobias and vucevic some respect.
