Why The New York Knicks Made A Horrible Decision To Sign Tom Thibodeau

Why The New York Knicks Made A Horrible Decision To Sign Tom Thibodeau

Posted by | Jul 26, 2020 | , | 0 |

Reading Time: 2 minutesTom Thibodeau is a death sentence for the New York Knicks. Up until this point, it seemed like the Knicks were doing everything right front office-wise. This signing is the pivot that will send all of their recent progress right into the ground. I will give Thibodeau credit where it is due. He is a great defensive coach, which will be good for Frank Ntilikina and Mitchell Robinson, but that’s about it. As seen in his last coaching job in Minnesota, it was evidently clear that he was out of touch with the modern NBA. His...

Why The Toronto Raptors Championship Should Not Have An Asterisk

Why The Toronto Raptors Championship Should Not Have An Asterisk

Posted by | Jul 2, 2020 | , , | 0 |

Reading Time: 2 minutesThe 2019 Raptors featured a strong and deep team lead by superstar Kawhi Leonard. They were successful all year and came out as NBA champions. However, many people put an asterisk next to this championship due to injuries suffered by the Golden State Warriors. I disagree with the notion the asterisk is justified, and this is why: The Toronto Raptors came into the year having just traded for Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green in exchange for DeMar DeRozan and others. It was amazing to watch Leonard adapt to a totally new system under a brand new...

Why James Harden is Extremely Overrated

Reading Time: 2 minutesA perennial MVP candidate, Houston Rockets shooting guard James Harden’s value and overall performance is not as impressive as you’d believe. James Harden is known for one thing, scoring. And by just watching him play, it seems like James Harden is one of the best scorers in the league today, possibly one of the best ever. But basketball is much deeper than that, and looking at stats paints a much different picture. While yes, James Harden is averaging 34.4 PPG this season, which is mostly due to his ball hogging (which is partly a result of...

How Timofey Mozgov Transformed the NBA

How Timofey Mozgov Transformed the NBA

Reading Time: 2 minutesKnown for being a solid bench option at best, Timofey Mozgov has actually been extremely influential on the current state of more than a third of NBA rosters. After signing a massive contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, he was a fill-in to trade D’Angelo Russell for the rights to Kyle Kuzma’s draft pick. This is where two different trade paths diverge. One of these routes caused major shakeups for the league, and the other route was just salary dumps. Starting with the salary dump route, Mozgov was traded to the Charlotte Hornets, and then to...

Revisiting the Horrible NBA Contracts of Summer 2016

Posted by | Mar 26, 2020 | , | 0 |

Reading Time: 2 minutesIn the NBA, as well as many other sports, every year the cap rises. In the summer of 2016, there was a massive salary cap increase that still affects the NBA today. This led to some of the worst contracts in NBA history. Going into the summer of 2016, Chandler Parsons had proved his worth across his first 5 seasons in the league, with the Houston Rockets and Dallas Mavericks. After being traded to the Memphis Grizzlies, Parsons signed a 4-year/$94 million dollar extension. This was horrendous for the Grizzlies, as Parsons was never able to...
