• Salary Value at the Center Position

  Blog comment - 6 days ago

  caleb- excellent points. as you said his per is outstanding, and that is mainly a offensive/usage stat. the more possessions he has to convert, the higher his per can be. so i think pace does play a role in his numbers. obviously, lee does a great job using those possessions efficiently and is a great player.
  
  i just have a hard time believing, by this formula, he is better than bogut or marc gasol. both of those guys are clearly behind howard in my mind. #

  nice work and an interesting breakdown. i know you're still tweaking it, but i think adjusted pace needs to be part of the formula. would love to see if lee still ranks as highly without the dantoni pace inflation.

• Looking Back at Chandler for Okafor

  Blog comment - 7 days ago

  @joe- completely agree that the hornets are mediocre because of the peja/mo pete/posey triumvirate of oblivion. but i think most observers would have figured that coming into the season and hoped okafor would be able to make a difference in overcoming that tremendous burden. admittedly an unrealistic expectation. he is a quality player, i just worry about his play with west and really worry about his contract. #

• Looking Back at Chandler for Okafor

  dont think anyone is seriously arguing the hornets would be better this year with chandler.
  
  okafor is a quality player, but it is completely fair to question whether he is worth the substantial amount of money owed to him the next 4 years. the season has one month left, and the hornets are on the outside looking in. plus the hornets will will have a payroll in the $70+ million range again next year. why can't we ask what has been a problem this year and discuss how the hornets can fix what ails them? #

• Spurs Beat the Hornets Again

  okafor deal looks worse and worse as the season progresses. and thats with tc being alternately hurt and terrible in charlotte. okafor just doesn't effect the game they way many- myself included- thought he would. moving okafor this summer should be explored. he aint worth the $50+ mil left on his contract.
  
  blog post about this a while ago, but i agree completely- the hornets have one of the most mismatched collections of post talent in the league. #
