from San Antonio

A 7-footer, he averaged 17.5 minutes, 5.1 points and 6.5 rebounds in 76 games (37 starts) during the regular season and three in the postseason.

This was actually a steal. He's one of the best defensive post players in the world. -- nm - David Jul 12, 09:36 14
- Yeah--that is a steal. The guys who are FAs, this year, are getting screwed--last year=pot of gold--this year= bucket of slop -- nm - Flavorize Jul 12, 09:46 6
  - Yeah. Poor guy. Playing 17 minutes a game for only $7 million. - pmb Jul 12, 09:49 4
    - Part of it is the difference in rosters. NBA teams have a maximum of 15, whereas MLB is 24 and NFL is 53. - David Jul 12, 09:52 3
      - No, I get it, but it's still kind of absurd to me. -- nm - pmb Jul 12, 09:54 2
        
        Oh, I am with you on that. We are paying Bazemore $17 million a year, and he lost his starting job with us. - David Jul 12, 10:06
        
        I agree--it's absurd, and that absurdness will make the next NFL bargaining hell. -- nm - Flavorize Jul 12, 10:02
  - Seriously -- nm - JJ Reddick Jul 12, 09:48
- So... a less offensive Dwight Howard? -- nm - Strongbad Jul 12, 09:39 4
  - That sounds about right. -- nm - David Jul 12, 09:42 3
    - Dennis might have to be your version of Westbrook next year. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 12, 09:48 2
      - I think he's an above average player but I'm dubious he'll become a star. - David Jul 12, 09:55 1
        
        I expect him to put up really good numbers next year, simply due to a lack of other above average players. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 12, 09:56
- That must be why he is on to his third team in three years. -- nm - Spawn Jul 12, 09:38 1
  - So was Demarre when we signed him. - David Jul 12, 09:39
