Marvin Williams is expected to sign a five year, $37.5 million contract as early as Friday. The deal also has some hard to reach incentives that could boost the value of the contract to $43 million.

Dude, Shelden Williams taught me that standing reach is important when analyzing players.

You’re also 100% correct that Marvin Williams is a younger, enhanced version of Travis Outlaw.

Without looking at his hotspots

Whenever I watch Marvin, his mid-range game is super money.

He shoots a good percentage, is athletic and young, he just ain’t Paul/Deron and he sticks his butt out weird.

by Mortimer on Aug 7, 2009 2:08 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

With Sheldon, I wouldn't say the standing reach is the problem

It’s that he combines undersizedness with a lack of skill and athleticism.

by Mortimer on Aug 7, 2009 2:08 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

The thing with Shelden Williams is that he was supposed to be a monster on defense ...

at the next level. Yet, due to his poor standing reach, he couldn’t effectively play one-on-one defense versus opposing centers. Williams’ flaw is akin to that of Jeff Green, whose small standing reach makes him unable to effectively defend power forwards man-to-man in the NBA.

Williams’ “lack of skill and athleticism” explains the many problems he has on offense, but on the other end of the court it’s about standing reach. All in all, he just can’t man the paint.

Stupid people have stupid ideas.

His Wikipedia entry still talks mostly about his high school and college career. His pro career consists of trades. And I had to laugh about this sentence.
His size (6’9", 250 lbs), aggressive style of play, and shot-blocking ability earned him the nickname “The Landlord.”

As crazy as it seems, Shelden Williams truly was a lockdown defender at Duke.

Yet, Williams 8’8" standing reach was the death of him in the NBA. Alas, that’s life.

Emeka Okafor had a 9'2.5" standing reach.

Though about all the warning signs are there in the scouting report and graphic.
Limited potential, not very athletic. Graphic says he isn’t quick, report says he is. “Has given up a number of big games to post players as a senior”. “Stiff or mechanical”.

Yeah, Shelden Williams is definitely a "mechanical" player.

Truth be told, a ballclub would be better off taking a shot in the dark on a guy like Chris Richard — who measures out well — in lieu of Shelden Williams.

Stupid people have stupid ideas.

by AK1984 on Aug 7, 2009 2:30 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

When seeing Shelden Williams at Duke, my thought was that his ability to be ...

an undersized enforcer down low would be his calling at the next level. Offensively, he wasn’t going to be Carlos Boozer — who ironically rated poorly at first due to his hideous defense — but allegedly had Elton Brand esque defense.

Alas, Williams didn’t measure out like Brand.

Brand: 7’ 5.5" Wingspan & 9’2" Standing Reach.
Williams: 7’ 4.25" Wingspan & 8’8" Standing Reach.

For low-post guys, standing reach > wingspan. I’ve learned that lesson, though, so good for me.

A few weird thoughts went through my mind.

1. I love this comment of mine about Adam Morrison and J.J. Redick.

“At any rate, though, neither Adam Morrison nor J.J. Redick — who, no matter how poorly he played against LSU last night, deserves to at least have his surname spelled correctly by you guys — will likely be productive in the NBA.

Adam Morrison = No […] Idea
J.J. Redick = Tim Legler"

http://www.supersonicsoul.com/2006/03/hughes-dishes.html

2. Mike Miller looks like a male version of Maggie Gyllenhaal.

3. It’s funny to me that Seth Rogen had a cameo in Donnie Darko.

Yeah, he was the bully's sidekick, wasn't he?

I don’t know if I’ve ever been more right about a player than I was right about Adam Morrison.

My only positive I could think of for drafting him was “well, at least he wants to be in Portland”.

It really sucks to be a die hard fan of a team you have no confidence in

Those were dark years we used to suffer under the Nash/Patterson regime. They just weren’t going to make the right decisions no matter what.

by Mortimer on Aug 7, 2009 2:55 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

The funny thing is that the press releases from that time read like those of today. You could think they just hit the jackpot.

We are excited about the young core of our team and they achieved tremendous growth and gained invaluable experience this past season. As we evaluate every possible opportunity to complement what we have started, I am confident that John’s leadership on the basketball operations side of our organization will allow us to successfully turn our team around."

While with the Trail Blazers, Nash engineered the trade with Atlanta for Theo Ratliff and Shareef Abdur-Rahim and a draft-night deal with New Jersey that netted Viktor Khryapa. He was instrumental in drafting Sebastian Telfair, Sergei Monia and Ha Seung Jin in 2004, and was also responsible for the free agent signing of center Joel Przybilla, who finished the season as the NBA’s 7th leading shot blocker.

But only for two years, which made it so there was some drama over whether we’d be able to keep him or not.

“Instrumental in drafting Sebastian Telfair, Sergei Monia and Ha Seung Jin” makes me laugh every time. It’s like “he was the chief designer of the groundbreaking Ford Edsel (aka the worst flop in the history of our company)” or “his leadership was instrumental for Bear Sterns (until it faltered)”.

I always hated hated hated Steve Patterson. He was just a suit. A suit who wouldn’t be in the business if it wasn’t for his dad, which is always the worst sort of suit.

Good prediction

Maggie Gyllenhaal was in Dark Knight, right? I was constantly wondering why the producers thought she looked like Katie Holmes and should continue that role. I liked her much better casted for her role in Stranger Than Fiction.

I've said this before

But when the characters in The Dark Knight comment on her being beautiful, it comes across like a mean sarcastic joke.

If I am objectifying her she looks like a sad turtle, but she seems like someone that if ya got to know she would be more attractive.

I don’t think they worried about her looking like Katie Holmes, since that sort of continuity doesn’t matter.

So we know ya hate Durant and ya don't like Jeff Green

Has Presti made a move you’ve liked yet?

I liked how he gathered draft picks, but he got way too much credit for being a good GM before putting together an even halfway decent team.

If KP got too much credit too soon, Presti got doubly so. They are bad.

by Mortimer on Aug 7, 2009 2:58 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Sam Presti is a decent front office executive.

I don’t blame Presti for the Kevin Durant selection — as that was a common sense move — although I do lament over his trade of Ray Allen for a guy in Jeff Green who is an awful fit alongside Durant. Oh, and by the way, I still believe building a ballclub around Durant will be as flat-out difficult as building a ballclub around Allen Iverson.

Beyond that, though, Presti has just shuffled chairs on the deck.

Stupid people have stupid ideas.

I've become a broken record with my complaints about Durant

Before the draft I knew Oden was the right choice, but worried Durant could be that transcendent star that is worth not taking the big man for.

I haven’t seen anything with his game thus far that is anywhere close to being a transcendent star. He is a scorer, nothing more, and doesn’t help his teammates enough.

I don’t worry about his defense as much.

by Mortimer on Aug 7, 2009 3:13 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I won’t count how many commenters say something to the effect of “if only he had a guy like Durant at his side” in the Roy extension comments on ESPN.

Oh well, if both Oden and Durant make the All-Star game next year we are even, and the Blazers will have the far better record unless the sky falls. If Oden makes the Sophomore game. With Nic and/or Rudy. Minus a horse trophy.

Part of Durant's problem

And why it will be difficult to build around him, is that he is obviously so insanely talented as a scorer, so you HAVE to enable him to be the main scorer, but he doesn’t make plays or play decent defense, so it doesn’t mean as much.

But if you remove him as the primary ballhandler/scorer, you aren’t getting the most out of him. He deserves to be the main dude on offense.

It’s a tough situation to be in. OKC fans can only hope he develops an all-round offensive game.

Watched Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince yesterday

I always like “returning to Hogwards” with the guys, feels like home over such a long movie series. The camera work, set decoration, music, sound design and the effects were very good. But the story gets increasingly convoluted and boring talking about life and stuff. And the evil guys make the same “mistake” like the evil guys in James Bond movies over and over again: They just don’t kill the hero when they have the chance.

I’ve never been reduced to nodding and smiling that much in my whole life, and it was with native English speakers! That was something else.

nope.

I do IT work in a school district, funnily enough. Nothing to do with my degree at all.

 I didn’t want to teach high school and after working in a public school district for the last year plus, I’m extremely happy with that decision. Would have liked to teach college level but hated the upper academic world of english majors. lots of pithy discussion about minutia isn’t fun plus it’s a very closed, very competitive circle so the joy of literature was kind of lost for me.

Psych and Spanish is an interesting pairing.

How does that work? You took separate degrees? Or it’s a major/minor thing?

by medmelon on Aug 7, 2009 9:13 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Two separate degrees

don’t know how familiar you are with the American university system, but it’s not like Europe’s at all. It’s pretty common to study two degrees simultaneously, and frequently you get out of university and do something wholly unrelated to what you studied — which, to my understanding, just doesn’t happen in Europe (or at least in Spain).

I really liked psychology, and I really liked the Spanish language, so I figured that I’d just study what I was passionate about and worry about the practicality of my studies later. I definitely don’t wish that I had studied business or economics or engineering, even though I’d probably be gainfully employed right now if I had.

I’ve got two majors and two minors—I stare at the padded walls of my cubicle everyday, with no connection to anything I’ve ever done before. I don’t know anyone really using their degree, that didn’t stay in school. Being gainfully employed is not really apart of my program though…

it's not really common

unless the degree is like a joint thing (business administration and law degree, for example, offered by some unis). Usually you have enough problems passing one degree’s subjects to enroll in a different one :-) You didn’t find it difficult, combining both?

All my Spanish friends were various kinds of engineers

at la Universidad de Malaga. It’s insane how much work they have to do, and for how long. They get out of undergraduate having the equivalent of 2-3 years’ work experience compared to American undergraduate engineering…but then they don’t really have graduate school for engineering either, so you kind of have to cram it all in for undergraduate.

Actually, going to Spain made it a piece of cake. As long as it had an analogue at my university, every psychology class that I took counted towards both my psych degree and my Spanish degree. The Spanish degree had two or three “wild-card” classes that could be satisfied by the completion of any course taught solely in Spanish — which, of course, the university classes were.

I like mostly contemporary stuff.

Postmodern work I guess. In that tradition, I’ve always had a hard time putting labels on stuff so I’m not sure how to answer. My thesis was going to be on Jeanette Winterson, who is one of my favorite writers, if that means anything. I was so out of it during thesis time I never picked a clear focus. Anyway, favorite writers: Winterson, Rushdie, Steinbeck, McCarthy, Roth, Tim O’Brien, Graham Swift, also like Eliot and Dickenson for poets. Hopefully that describes what english I was in to.

by DrivetheLane on Aug 7, 2009 9:23 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah, I only know about half those writers—I’m getting worse and worse about knowing how is doing what these days… I don’t think majoring in english will ever go away, but being celebrated in that field certainly seems to be on the decline. I base this on the way poets and poetry has gone. Soon, screen writers will be the champions of our time, per the masses. I’m also of the opinion, though, that the fiber of writers is on the decline. I suspect there is something in our culture that is poisoning all of us….

It's interesting what you say about screenwriters.

I would be pretty surprised if screenwriters began getting recognition from the general public. It’s funny though because I think that film will be America’s lasting mythology and actors/actresses are the “gods/goddesses” and is one of the only truly mass communal events in modern society (even more so than most television, apart from American Idol). But people just don’t acknowledge the inner workings and film criticism seems to be dying along with the print media. So I doubt screenwriters will ever be all that popular except to a small minority.

Which writers don’t you recognize from that list? I can recommend some books if you’re interested.

I can tell you who wrote Good Will Hunting, and maybe if I thought hard, I could list the authors of 10 movies from the past 10 years. I couldn’t name 10 poets who produced work in the last ten years. I don’t even know if I could list 10 living poets… It’s the day and age, I guess.

According to Chad Ford those are the teams with significant cap space next offseason. I think he forgets the Cavs, unless he sees it as a given that they will sign LeBron.

New Jersey Nets, New York Knicks, Miami Heat, Minnesota Timberwolves, Houston Rockets, Chicago Bulls, Oklahoma City Thunder, Los Angeles Clippers and Sacramento Kings.

I'm thinking no

lots of buyers, not a whole lot of high-quality product to go around. You can peruse the list here yourself. Dirk is going to resign; likewise for Kobe; likewise for Ray Allen. I can’t imagine Ginobli is going anywhere. Yao won’t exercise his ETO coming off a lost year to injury and probably wouldn’t do it anyway.

Realistically, you’re looking at Bosh/Wade/LBJ as the likely candidates to move (in that order) and then a smorgasbord of second-tier FAs like Shaq, Amare and Redd (if the latter two exercise their ETOs, which would make some sense given the preponderance of teams with cap space). You’re going to see a lot of deals of the Villanueva/Gordon variety next summer (i.e., decent starters getting paid in gross excess of what their abilities warrant), I predict.

I really have no clue

It all depends on how this season plays out. The Bulls could just as easily use their financial strength to take advantage of all the teams that are in serious trouble and acquire a few impact players at the trade deadline.

Obviously I’d love for Wade to come here, but I really don’t think Riley is going to let him walk away. Bosh, well Toronto went all in to keep him, but they still aren’t that good of a team. Chicago could conceivably look more attractive to him next summer, and I wouldn’t feel bad overpaying for him as much as I would overpaying for Amare.

If anyone… and like you guys I’m not sure if anyone will be signed.

I don’t see Bosh staying in Toronto, and those horrible recent signings will make him want to jump ship more than ever. Obviously, Rose and Bosh would be a damn nice duo… I hope that is what happens.

I also see Wade liking Miami still, even if they are mediocre. I know he’s from Chicago, does he keep a lot of ties there still?

If Miami is mediocre again this year

I think Wade will leave. Miami is awesome if you’re an all-world NBA player, no doubt about that, but I feel like Wade is more mature than a lot of other 26-year-old superstars. He seems to know that his legacy depends on how many rings he wins and not how much train he runs.

Now, individually, Wade is a lot better than Bosh

But since Rose ain’t no small potatoes either, do you think Rose + Bosh = more than Rose + Wade?

Wade is better than Kobe to me, but he’s such a great playmaker/dominant scorer in his own right, that it almost makes Rose tradeable! As crazy as that sounds.

at least from my point of view. I’m not sure you can really build around either of those guys, but I’d way rather make the effort building with Bosh. When there was chatter about the Blazers making a play for Amare at the deadline last year, I felt like I had just eaten a convenience-store taco.

That's really impressive

I need to pay closer attention to Ferry’s doings, I guess. I had mistakenly believed that he was wheeling and dealing like a chicken with his head cut off to keep LeBron happy, but clearly he had an eye towards this coming summer the whole time.

Why would Redd use his ETO

there is no way he is going to get $17million (or whatever he contract calls for) on the open market. He may have trouble even getting half that

Yeeeesh. I had no idea. I retract my statement about Redd then.

HoopsHype has Redd making $18.3 million in 2010/11. Which would make him the MREC.

plus he whiffed on Darko, and the Hamilton extension is dubious now, and signing Kwame Brown to almost the full MLE was really bad, and Stuckey looked totally out of his element playing full-time PG last year.

If he had made some hay with the cap space from the Iverson trade I would be ok with it, but I doubt the CVu and Gordon are going to completely change their games to make that a good move.

He did a good job putting together a very good (not great) team out of

Other’s discarded players… Billups, Rip, Big Ben, Rasheed…

But, of course, the Darko Disaster (while I like Darko as a role player, the #2 pick he be not) and these recent FA signings are huge pock marks on his record… and I think it’s okay to already consider Ben Gordon and Charlie V as pock marks. Those guys are what they are— offensive minded talented players but not guys to build around.

I agreed with Dumars moving Billups and starting over. I guess we’ll see if much comes out of it. I haven’t lost faith in Dumars as a GM entirely, but THAT is what losing a golden aura looks like.

The Gordon signing should be better than the Charlie V one

As long as they can get sumthin’ for Rip.

But who wants to take on a contract

that is guaranteed at more than 11 million dollars a year for the next four years for a guy who at this point is nothing more than an above-average NBA shooting guard (and if you ask me, whose rep was artificially blown up because of his team’s success)? You’re going to have to pay people to take Hamilton off your hands at this point. Another reason I hated the Gordon signing.

Alcohol is a minor obtained by 90 percent of higher ed. students, I suspect. I think 100 level classes look like “Religious studies—Praying to a Porcelain God” … the good classes “Social marketplaces: How to influence people while under the influence”… obviously, design/fashion and leisure sports are the quickest path to this minor.

I think Crime and Punishment is a good place to start. Notes is kind of a nasty piece, for it’s own reasons. If you do think about picking up any of the pieces, I would make sure you get the pevear and volokhonsky translations—It makes a difference. I never recommend the Brothers K though. The house of the Dead is also an early piece (besides these other two) that has a lot of energy….

by EvilKaramazov on Aug 7, 2009 3:41 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

They've almost translated the whole catalogue

And they’ve done a bunch of other Russian, writers. I could speak specifically about the differences between their translation of the Brothers K and Constance Garnett, but beyond that, they are a highly celebrated for all their other works. With Dostoyevsky, they are published under Vintage Press—they are a bit more expensive w/ nicer cover art. All of my Dostoyevsky books are their translations, except for a few rare books I own, that you can’t find anymore…

the copies i have probably aren't those translators then.

i just have cheapie paperbacks I’ve found. I read a book by Haruki Murakami a few months ago and the way it was written really made me wonder about the translation.

Yes, but they save millions in salary and luxury tax this year. Hunter makes $3.7 million, and Denver would have likely been a taxpayer.

Memphis is operating a “rent our cap space, and give us picks for our trouble” model. They already did that in the Dallas-Orlando-Toronto deal, last year with Miami, and so on.

It’s a competition involving something Canzano did…

so it’s like the special olympics that way

by The Arkitect on Aug 7, 2009 3:53 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I can't stand Canzano so it pains me to say this was actually for a good cause.

My understanding is that they’ll use 100% of the proceeds to help pay for fees and equipment for kids who can’t afford to enter school sports programs.

everything he does is for a good cause… that look at me I’m selfless shtick is part of why I stopped reading him

I'd rather read him than look at him.

they use scissors.

but first they have to make them out of the spare trash they have around the place.

i don't understand why you have a question mark.

anything involving MacGyver is always FTW. He’s kinda like Chuck Norris that way.

Who wins in a fight? MacGuyver or Chuck Norris?

this should be a poll question

by The Arkitect on Aug 7, 2009 3:59 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Chuck Norris, easy

by EvilKaramazov on Aug 7, 2009 4:01 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

what if Macgyver has duct tape, gum, a paper clip and his swiss army knife?

Chuck Norris is like Superman, with unlimited powers

MacGuyver like Batman, using his brain and vast cranial resources.

Yes.

Yes it does.

Mr T = The Thing

George Peppard Mr. Fantastic, Face is the Human Torch, and Murdock is Mrs. Fantastic… which is a stretch, but it has to fit.

swap Face and Murdock…

face is a con man, blends in to his surroundings – Invisible

A-team question

How can they shoot off 1.476 billion rounds (I counted….they literally shot off 1.476 Billion rounds in that TV series) from fully automatic weapons and only hit one guy….with one round….in the arm ….for the entire run of the series. Riddle me that one, Batman…..riddle me that

they were so good, that they didn’t need to kill you to beat you, they only needed to flip your car to get you to give up

by The Arkitect on Aug 7, 2009 4:21 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

But why shoot at all then??

This isn’t logical…..if you can’t expect logic from network television …who can you expect it from???

Wait….maybe this is why Star Trek was canceled……too much Logic!!! I think I am on to something!!

Ahh, I never watched Stargate

I think MacGuyver should be playing MacGuyver and Chuck Norris plays Chuck Norris, in their own new show.

yeah, Chuck wins easy if it's just man-e-mano.

But if MacGyver has some tools and about 1:15 seconds prep time….well….let’s just say God help anyone in a 10 mile radius.

by DrivetheLane on Aug 7, 2009 4:08 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

although now that i think about it

didn’t MacGyver usually only take one punch to knock someone out?

by DrivetheLane on Aug 7, 2009 4:12 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

yes, one punch then he shook his fist to give the illusion that he feels pain

by The Arkitect on Aug 7, 2009 4:13 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

this comment cracked me up.

i forgot about the fist shaking.

Is it too late for a series with Hasselhoff, Anderson, Norris?

I would watch that, no matter what they do. Add Shatner and you even have Trekkies as your audience. Win. As some second-rate network, I would instantly buy that show.

unless he can re-animate bruce lee w/ that, I just don't see it happening

MacGyver is a situational expert, Chuck Norris a one man army.

Maybe some kind of moment of peril (being trapped in a nuclear reactor that’s having a meltdown) we might be able to compare the two…

by EvilKaramazov on Aug 7, 2009 4:08 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

so maybe the real question is this:

if Chuck Norris was trapped in a room with a bomb about to explode and MacGyver was trapped in a room about to explode, who would escape first?

Suppose you have a bus, full of people, that can’t go less than 50mph or it will blow up…. who do you send to the rescue?

by EvilKaramazov on Aug 7, 2009 4:11 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

MacGyver.

because he’s the only one that could make a bus loaded with people jump a huge chasm and land safely on the other side.

I feel like a bullet from the gun of Robert Ford

I’m low as a paid assassin is
You know I’m cold as a hired sword
I’m so ashamed, can’t we patch it up
You know I can’t think straight no more
You make me feel like a bullet, honey, in the gun
In the gun of Robert Ford
