Hmm will the Wizards have to shed Beals upcoming extension or will the new TV deal let them afford both. Damn straight I am driving the "KD to the Wiz" choo choo train!

Beal is the next Eric Gordon where he's going to get a massive contract and never live up to it. I get the infatuation with him. He's still super young andlookslike a much better player than he actually is. Silky jumper, great 3 point range and he still carries on his rep from college as a 'do everything' stat stuffer even though that hasn't translated at all. If he played more like a 3 and D guy he'd probably be a lot more valuable, but 40% from the field and 2.5 free throws a game. That's just shitty production.

It's amazing how bad Eric Gordon has been so far this season. 0-6, 4-14, 0-6, 3-8, 5-14. If he could just play at 75% of what he should be giving for that contract, that team could be playoff bound. Heck, they might be anyways since AD is about to take the spot of most valuable player in the game. I won't be surprised if NO "bumps" somebody out of the playoffs this year. Injured OKC, Portland, Memphis, somebody like that.

The craziest thing to me about Roy is how shitty of a rebounder he is for that size. We've seen completely uncoordinated big man with no touch on offense before and Roy even fits the mold of being a good defender. But how many 7+ footers out there end being bad rebounders?
I believe Grantland did an article on the subject. If I remember correctly the issue isn't that he is a shitty rebounder, it's how the Pacers utilize him to move opposing rebounders out of the way so the wings can swoop in and get the rebounds.
