Thread: It looks like Chase is more than enough of a replacement to Von

While I agree with this I also understand Von's frustration, he was on a one year deal and...

Hell yeah $5 mil is as good in a bubble economy as a recession. A european company offers me a $3.5 mil salary increase, I am taking the red eye flight over. Europe is a...

Agree. Westbrook is a good player who can become great. He is way better on defense than Brooks and those Thunder guys are really starting to look dangerous with Durant and Westbrook leading the way.

He got like 5 offers from teams of about 1-1.5 million including the Rockets but he turned them all down because the Olympiacos offered him 5 million. In this economy, I think he made the right decision.

Quote: Originally Posted by kenwonobi On the Westbrook comparisons. I think you could compare Budinger to Westbrook but just not Durant right now. He certainly could end up better than Westbrook though. I have westbrook on my fantasy team, look at his stats for a bit. Keep in mind he is a second year player, then think about your post. I think yall are overrating chase a little at this point. he's nice, don't get me wrong. he...

Quote: Originally Posted by seclusion Yeah okay, and I'd love for you to tell me how those two were minuses in this game. Are you SERIOUSLY talking about +/-? You realize that is directly affected by the SCORE of the game right? Not to mention you might want to get your facts straight if you are; chase was +/- 0. Earlier you said they were taking ill-advised shots. K, so who would you rather shoot them? Durant was 50% from the field and...

Quote: Originally Posted by kenwonobi Nope but Brooks over Westbrook I might. Westbrook never beat the Lakers in the playoff games before or even went to them and won a series as the starter. As far as I know Brooks has never been the main guy on a losing team but is the second leading guy on the Rockets in our 4-2 start. Well that's fair enough. But Westbrook has yet to play in a playoff game, so we don't know how he'd...
