[...] Oklahoma defie les champions en titres. Bien qu’ils aient perdu le premier match, les Thunder de Kevin Durant ont fait bonne impression malgre le retour fulgurant de Bynum. Et l’equipe de MJ alors? Les [...]

Don’t forget Ryan Gomes would have been the energy player off the bench for the Celts.

Ibaka, from what I’ve seen looks more like a young Camby then Kemp

@justin Mike Miller is NOT worth a MLE deal anymore, however, I wouldn't mind having him on the Thunder for say, a two year, six million dollar deal.

If either the Nets or Bulls acquire a higher priced free agent they won’t have a spot for David Lee.. with Joe Johnson, Amar’e, Bosh, Boozer, LeBron, Wade, all free agents and the possible lock out situation I’m not sure David Lee is going to get a huge pay day. Not to mention RFA’s such as Luis Scola or MLE types such as Haywood, Przybilla, Ginobili, Mike Miller, etc. There’s definitely a good chance one of the four other teams with significant cap space will whiff on all the bigger names and overpay David Lee, so yeah you let him go. I’m not sure it’s going to happen.

@justin I think with the amount of cap space around this summer, he'll definitely get over $10 mil. I'm guessing either the Nets or Bulls pick him up. The counter-argument, I suppose, is that some of the teams with a lot cap space may decide not to use it in preparation for the seemingly inevitable 2011 lockout.

If David Lee’s price exceeds $10 million average then I think you let him sign elsewhere. Otherwise it fits neatly into the payroll long term without affecting any of the extensions..

@Sammy It's possible but I'm dubious.. he's the last in a long list of centers who got MLE sized contracts based on a small sample. Almost all of them disappoint.
