AI finished fifth in the MVP voting, behind Nash, Shaq, Nowitzki and Duncan....

Ridiculous. Sorry AI haters, but the team wasn't going to even be close to where they were this year without AI.

7th place team in the East got him that. He should've been 4th over Dirk, the Mavs have got plenty of other options.

hunt · May 08, 2005, 08:23:07 PM

yeah...the only one i'd question is dirk.

and players on 43 win teams don't win the mvp...4th would've been about right for ai.

I would put Lebron over Duncan and have AI at 3 Dirk at 4 and Lebron at 5. Statistically Duncan had one of his weaker years and also was hurt for a long stretch at the end where his team didn't completely fall into the tank and managed to finish with the second best record in basketball. Yes the Cavs didn't make the playoffs but it was anything but Lebron's fault. They wouldn't have even been in the race if Lebron wasn't on the team.

Nash = MVP anyway. Who cares even if AI deserved to be 2nd?

No links yet, but CSN reported that Sammy D has to go to court because a man renting a property from him was injured and Sammy did nothing about it..

PhillyPhreak54 · May 09, 2005, 12:42:16 AM

Like Sammy is a slumlord and some guy fell down a broken staircase and broke his leg and Sammy ignored it?

BigEd76 · May 09, 2005, 12:47:23 AM

yeah

PhillyPhreak54 · May 09, 2005, 12:52:10 AM

Huh. I didn't know Sammy was a landlord.

He better hope they go to court before he gets that fat free agent contract.

I read in the latest edition of the Sporting News that the Clips might be willing to trade Marko Jaric.

What's the deal with him? Could he be that PG that Billy wants so he can move AI back to 2? Is he any good? Would he fit here schemewise and salarywise? Would he be worth a sign and trade with Willie Green?

Get crazy white boy from New Orleans! Do it NOW!

Quote.20 Marko Jaric Los Angeles Clippers
Position: PG
Born: 12/10/78
Height: 6-7
Weight: 198 lbs.
From: Serbia-Montenegro Very good in the open court... Not that good
when it comes to make plays on halfcourt attack... Not a pure point
guard... Must improve his playmaking skills... Excellent size and
athleticism... Can play all backcourt spots... Very quick and
explosive... Tough defender... A steal waiting to happen...
Consistent shooter... Drives to the basket very often... Used to
winning titles.

jaric might be a good fit...he's a big PG who can shoot.

What kind of salary is he making? When's his deal up?

he made $2.1 mill this season & i'm pretty sure he's a restricted FA.
