My last post included my rankings for the #31-40 point guards in the NBA (according to me), and this one will include the next ten. The last group of players included many starters, proving that they were clearly very inefficient in their play to be included below some backups. The biggest surprise to some might be Derrick Rose at #32, but if you don’t understand why I did that, just read my last post and … Continue reading
This is the beginning of a very long series that will delve into the top 40 NBA players at each position. Now, ranking players can be extremely controversial because you’re likely to have a different overall ranking list than 99.9% of people in the world, but I’m going to do it anyway. I based my rankings largely off of statistics (the best way to judge a player), using PPG, RPG, APG, BPG, SPG, and PER … Continue reading
They were doing so well…why’d it have to end? I guess all good things have to come to an end at some point. After losing last night to the Bulls by a score of 79-68, they will be unable to defend their Summer League Championship that they won in Orlando one week ago. But one championship is enough for now, and definitely a step in the right direction. They have to let other teams win … Continue reading
After winning the championship and going 4-1 overall in the Orlando Summer League, the Sixers move onto the Las Vegas Summer League with hopes to fare in a similar fashion. Believe me, they’re not trying to win a championship, they’re just trying to get a look at a bunch of new guys. If they win in the process, then great for them. But it’s not really a necessity. 15 members of the roster for this section … Continue reading
The championships have already begun to pour in for the Sixers. Ok, so it was just one summer league championship, but it still counts somewhere. The Sixers finished the Orlando Summer League with a 4-1 record and a league-high 29 points. Their championship win came over the Grizzlies decisively by a score of 91-75. Their only loss came in their first game against the hometown Magic by just a 6 point margin. Not bad at … Continue reading
The NBA Draft has been over for a while, and the Orlando Summer League is almost over as well. I’ll be back later for a recap of how they did in the Summer League, but for now I’m going to look at how their roster looks and who fills in at each position. Today is the official beginning of free agency, in which both trades and actual signings can go through. While everyone seems to … Continue reading
According to the many “rumors” out there, the Rockets seem to already have been eliminated from contention to sign Carmelo Anthony, but that could easily just be a rumor. Anthony has not formally denied any offers though, meaning he could technically still be weighing his options all the way across the board. As for LeBron James, it’s also very possible that James could end up there. It seems more likely that Chris Bosh, his former … Continue reading
Of all the teams in the NBA, the Lakers and Heat have it the easiest. Surprisingly, both of the teams are below the salary cap right now and are in a good situation to pick up one of these two free agent studs. The Heat probably have the best chance of getting LeBron James, but the Lakers have a very good chance of getting Carmelo Anthony. And who knows, maybe if they miss out on … Continue reading
The Knicks are in a very important offseason for multiple reasons. First, they have the possibility of losing their franchise star after Carmelo Anthony declined to opt into his last year of his contract and decided to enter free agency instead. The Knicks are also coming off of a terrible season that saw them finish 9th in the very weak Eastern Conference despite spending more money than most teams. After a mini blockbuster trade that … Continue reading
With Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James both opting out of their contracts, the sweepstakes begin. Teams all around the league are scratching and clawing to get their hands on a star like these guys at whatever costs necessary. Some teams are basing their entire free agency on getting one of these guys, bringing in other assets to entice them or clearing cap space to give them a max contract. While most teams won’t have enough … Continue reading
