Damian Lillard makes $120 million.

I doubt he's ever going anywhere.

I don't see why they can't co-exist either.

russ and kd should be playing 45+ minutes/ gm. get a breather here and there for a couple plays, but if the gm is relatively close, they should be on the floor. limit their practices and let them go all out during the gms.

Can't play them that much. They'd fall apart in the playoffs.

that's ridiculous. iverson was playing 42m during his prime years. russ should be able to do that without a problem. you may limit kd a little because of his prior injuries, but there should be no time in the gm where both are off the court.
 
Dame is also having a career year, did someone really just ask which guy they'd get rid of? Come on breh

I remember Wade had his removed in college. Pretty remarkable when you consider he still remained an elite athlete

The game is a lot different now. It's significantly faster (more possessions), it's more complex, there's more movement on both sides of the ball, more three pointers (leading to tired legs), etc. Coaches aren't trotting out guys for 42 minutes per game anymore because players will wear down.

To compare, here's the Top 20 MPG guys in the 2000-01 season (scroll down). The lowest played 39.3 MPG. Michael Finley was leading the league at 42 MPG lol. This season, James Harden leads the league with 38.1 MPG, and the lowest guy in the Top 20 averages 35 MPG. That is a huge difference, and all because of the way the game has changed. You cannot run Russell Westbrook 42+ MPG over 82 games.

Playing the Kings "defense" brings out these type of outrageous comments.

every damn night someone is going for a career high against them

I heard one of the commentators say something like, "Cousins had an easy block but gave up an easy layup instead. He disnt want to exert the effort it would have taken to block that 2"

I had to rewind it because I was like "did he just say that", but my new Cox Contour box only rewinds half the time, and this was not one of those times it worked.
 
Ran into Aaron Harrison at the mall in Charlotte yesterday. Cool dude, pretty quiet. Felt pretty crazy randomly meeting somebody that I had screamed at through the TV for two years at UK :lol:
