WTF. If you just thought of this off the cuff then nice work, I laughed. If you are just parroting something you heard on Dallas radio then FU!!!

Dallas radio hasn't started talking about basketball yet (Cowboys dominate everything), I wish they would b/c Avery is the best interview in the business.

I'd take the over. Someone's gotta score on that team.

Yeah, that's true. He is going to get a ton of playing time on a terrible team.

Let's revise it up to 19.5

I liked your original line more. Someone's got to score, but everyone knows it'll have to be him. I'd take the under on this.

Easily over 16.5. He gets to the line too much for it to be any lower.

FWIW, Pinnacle posted a line of like 19.5 for Carmelo his rookie year. Durant comes into the league as a more prolific scorer on a more destitute team. He'll get about 20, though his %'s are likely to totally suck.

Is this the thread where I post fake opinions to throw the new 2P2 dynasty basketball league owners off the scent?

[/ QUOTE ]

Dynasty started a basketball league? That's a bit weird.

Since he'll be in this thread watching his reinvigorated Celtics, I think fake comments should be discouraged.

[/ QUOTE ]

I just wanted to post in a thread with both you and ClarkNasty.

GO NUGS!!!!!!!!!

I think this is the year we see Shawn Marion sabotage the Suns team while he whines about getting no respect (despite collecting the Suns' biggest check).

[/ QUOTE ]
I have no idea how this will play out. I doubt it will go that way. He's just one of those guys that needs to be told how important they are from time to time and that little bit of love keeps him happy. Also, this is almost certainly his last year with the Suns so he'll probably play with something to prove...and for his next contract.

well, that came a lot sooner than I thought it would, though a reversal wouldn't surprise me either.

kidcolin,

Standard. Then he'll have his talk with management, they'll tell him how important he is, and don't you want to win a ring and this is your best chance, and then he'll be back on board until the next time he feels unloved.

Although it is interesting that the article throws around trade scenarios like that. Odom wouldn't be bad so long as he's done snorting coke or huffing gasoline or whatever his problem was, but I don't know enough about AK's issues to comment on the fit. He seems like an even worse, less talented headache.
