From what I have read he clearly outplayed Len down the stretch. That seems like a fair contract for both sides I'm happy for him they could have tried to lowball him a lot more although it would have been kinda silly given their cap situation. They should frontload that deal.

That guy helped save my fantasy season. Turned in a bunch of double-doubles out of nowhere. You could basically count on him for 12 and 10 plus a block a night there for awhile in probably 20-22 minutes of action. I watched him play 3 or 4 games plus highlights from others too. He's a pretty crafty, fundamentally sound, very big man with soft hands who works hard. When producing, there's still a place in the league for guys like that. He actually kind of reminded me of Oliver Miller watching him at times (though he's not as big as the Big O, he definitely has some girth).

Weird fact: Until his breakout, people only knew Alan Williams because his mom is the chief of police in Phoenix.

Gotta love getting those guys in fantasy sports. Did he show off that floater he has in the games you watched? Crazy the ones I saw were so put up so nice and soft. It reminded me a bit of Craig Smith.

Bullock off the board 2 years 5 million back to the Pistons. They need shooting pretty bad themselves.

Dedmond 2 years 14 million 2nd year player option to Atlanta. They still have a nice chunk of cap room and roster spots to fill.

Lakers get KCP for 18 million for 1 year and are chasing Rondo also. At this point the Suns might be the doormat of the wesr but there is some talent there also.

Another one bites the dust... Thabo to Utah.

Dammit! Utah is going to be a bitch defensively. I'm telling you guys, they are going to be a tough out.

They better defend because the offense for that team is a question mark.

I agree. Thabo/favors/gobert/rubio/hood. That is a terrific and top 3 defensive unit.

The legit problem they have is besides Iso Joe. Nobody can create a shot off the dribble. They won't be fun to play though.


Like legit the west is so stupid. Even bad teams like the Lakers, kings and the suns are going to be a pain in the ass to play.
