How the hell did Diop get his money?

[jazzer89]

I looked at his career numbers and he F***ing sucks. He has done so little, how does he have such a ridiculous high contract. I mean some scrub from any YMCA in america could put up his numbers.

Another note, does anyone here think Ajinca can do better than diop during his first 10 years in the NBA because Diop has done nothing.

Because Mark Cuban overpays for any big man.

And yes, by default, Lexy could.

He had a great playoff run a year and half ago before he signed a multi-year contract for the MLE. That's a long tragic story in the NBA: big man has good playoff run, signs big contract, and is never heard from again.

Marcin Gortat?

[WarioVsMooChicken]

Jerome James?

Ummm... because we offered him the full MLE and the Mavericks matched.

Not exactly. He was UFA. Both Bobcats and Mavs offered MLE and he preferred Mavs. It's a pure joke that he ended up with us (he really ended up, no way we can trade him for at least 2 years).

what about this with the spurs who would do it for a championship run:

spurs out:
blair
mcdyess
richard jefferson
our pick of first round pick for next 3 years (top 3 protected until year three)

bobs out
jax
diaw
diop

Many reasons I don't care for that trade:
1. Richard Jefferson = f*** that guy.
2. Losing Jax
3. I'm afraid of Blair's knees

Im about ready to just wanna buy out Diop's contract.

Diop got his money by sending an email that was like:

"Hello my beloved friend in Christ. My name is Gana Diop and I am the associate Prime Minister of sandcastle-building in Senegal. I stole 1 billion pounds from the president of the country as well as Manute Bol's mother. I need to come to america to escape prosecution for war crimes...I am willing to give you 150 million pounds and play center for your basketball team if you provide me with your bank account number..."

:biggrin:

Gana is too nice of a guy to suck this bad...oh wait, the Bobcats have been all nice guys until this year. NVM.

.......the same reason why Dallas(Mark Cuban) were willing to overpay for Marcin Gortat.:facepalm:

[superb1]

actually the question should be Why the hell did we trade for him?
