Hardaway did great work preserving the Pistonsā tank when Detroitās 19 year old center started bombing threes late.

It seems like he legitimately became a much better athlete after leaving Michigan though. He had a poster dunk in summer league IIRC.

Made a decision to think that Livers will be in the NBA this season despite his injury and thus posting this hereā¦
How does one shoot this consistently from a chair!?!

I know itās a drill that Micah Lancaster has players do, especially when mobility is limited, and Livers has worked with him.

That was a huge win for the Magic in terms of the Pistons tank. Thank you thank you thank you, Moe.

Yeahā¦I think when we consider that an NBA team plays Mo, who has a hard time moving enough laterally to play the 5, at the 4, that itās a team heavily invested in the race for lottery odds. Credit to him for making the shots and stuff, and I think Clifford is a very competent coach, which is more than I can say for Scottie Brooksā¦so maybe there is something. But I donāt know.
Duncan, From D3 to the BANK! Happy for this young man!

Not perfect at 4, but better fit than 5 where he was physically overmatched. Only one game, but letās see where this goes. He has not had extended minutes very often this season as heās bounced around the league. He looked completely lost with Boston.

Heās going to get $100 million contract. If Bertans got $85 mil, then Duncan should be getting his contract at minimum.

That depends on a few things though - for one, Bertans was clearly overpaid by a bad front office (the Heat are not a bad front office).
I also donāt think itās a given the Heat re-sign him if heās heavily bid up - this is a franchise and market that goes star hunting above all else, and the clock is ticking on their best player. If the Heat donāt sign him, he canāt get a 5th year, and if the Heat go after bigger fish, that has a tendency to drop the other offers, as teams donāt need to over higher annual salary to combat the fifth year.
Finally, itās worth noting that Bertansā contract isnāt REALLY 5 years/$80 million. The fifth year is contingent on him playing 85% of the game the first four years. Heās already had some injuries, the Wizards arenāt very good and donāt figure to be good, so that games played metric can getā¦messed around with.
I think a contract at Bertans level is my expectation.
