Ham can change the damn coverages. Trap Fox at a minimum so somebody else has to make a play. He's playing like he's in a gym by himself.The Rui, Reeves, AR lineup was always fool's gold. Can't guard a shadow.
Sometimes guys are just gonna catch fire but you can funnel players to help defense. Fox was just going to the rim uncontested every time down the court.
The Lakers couldn't pay Monk more than like $2 million because they signed him for the vet minimum and didn't have his bird rights. Every other team in the league could offer more so there was no way LA could bring him back unless Monk wanted to keep playing for pennies.What are you talking about? LeBron could negotiate the details of his contract at any time
Taking 50 Ms at nearly 40 years old while you're a billionaire is greed. That's not trying to win.
There are a few star players available next year like Spyda. With this type of contract, that takes us out of the running for players like that.
His contract ruins the near future of the team. I've always been against players taking stupid contracts like that, especially a player that's been a max player for 21 years.
Nobody wanted Monk. He was signing for the minimum wherever he went. Just so happens he got clean and resurrected his career with the Lakers and earned a raise. Nothing could be done.
AD has barely earned that contract.
