Karl Malone played 42 games for the Lakers, the lowest in his entire career and retired the following season. Obviously he didn't have shyt left in the tank. Gary Payton hung around and ring chased and didn't average much of shiit.

did you even watch that season?

Malone was still a very effective player and was putting up a double double every night until he got hurt. Through the first 21 games as a Laker he averaged 14.7 points on 51% shooting, 10.2 rebounds, 4.1 assists, and 1.2 steals.



That was a freak play where he got injured, he still had plenty in the tank and contenders the very next season like San Antonio were calling Malone until he retired officially the following spring in 2005.

Even with the bad knee, he played good defense on Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett in the postseason.

What person says that they want an Easy way out? :what: that grind it out bullshyt is nonsense

It's the same argument people use against Lebron for teaming up with D Wade and CB :manny:
I'm just saying if he goes there then he's going to get criticized all the same.

They all have to not take up all the space back up with the new deals tho!!

Even tho it sucks that they have an owner who pays no tax on his main business and he regards the Heat as a "hobby" and he should be payin the luxury tax, all of them have to take less in order to sign the right guys..It's a capped sport unfortunately.

They need Ariza/Deng, Lowry and Gortat :damn:

for the life of me...i dont know why nikkas thought he would...

them nikkas made the finals 4 yrs in a row...in the East their only real competition is the pacers....who theyve beaten 3 yrs n a row now....a few tweaks to their roster and they will be fine to face whatever team comes out of the west....

Bron being mentored by Riley. He opted out monday and put out he wants a max deal so these teams can scramble and dump role players. Now tonight riley will send the cuban cigars, coke, and strippers to lowry and Gortat.

I think by wednesday all of the pieces we want will be locked up and then the big 3 will structure after everyone else is locked in

I don't understand Haslem taking less money. He turned down 28mil I'm Dallas to play for 12 mil and he didn't play much. Nobody gonna remember him. His bank account gonna remember the millions he gave away.
