    Default Byron Mullens Appreciation Thread

    I did not see a thread dedicated to over reacting to every performance by Byron like we have for some other players, so I decided to make this to say damn!
    Stats against the Celtics 25-18-4 shooting 63% and 4-5 from three...
    And we have just looked like an overall better team with him on the floor.
    The more I see of him the more I want to include him in our young "core" and tie him up a long term deal this summer for a value. I honestly feel hes only gonna get better and more expensive,I feel like with the glimpses he has shown he is the exact kind of talent you want to sign. A young athletic 7 footer that can stretch the D at the four or five is rare in this league.

    He deserves some kudos. He's young and he's showing a propensity to learn.

    I hope we keep him this summer.

    Realistically what does everyone think we'll have to offer for him to stay?

    I would like to think he could be had for 5M a year or less hopefully?....But that is not my area of expertise, so I honestly don't know and would like to hear some other opinions on what we should/probably will pay for his extension.

    I have been down on Byron many times, so I have to eat crow when he plays well and he was fantastic last night.

    As far as re-signing him- Omer Asik- signed a 3 year 25 Million $ deal with Houston after starting 2 games in his career for the Chicago Bulls. Plus bigs always get overpaid so I would suspect someone will make Byron a similar offer to Byron.

    I hope that if we resign him, its for 5 years and 25-30 Million.

    Agreed. Good thread. Mullens's play since he's come back has been damn good. Fire Dunlap indeed! LOL The work he's done with Mullens this year has been outstanding and a big credit to Mully for being so receptive to Dunlap's teaching and motivation tools.

    Consistency is the last hurdle to cross before he becomes a legit starting big on a playoff team. Double doubles should be the norm with Byron; and they pretty much have been since his return from the ankle injury. Fingers crossed the development continues.

    Default Byron Mullens has come back from injury looking strong! 18 reb game.

    It just shows how good fresh players are, his play tailed off before his injury. If only we could give our whole team 6 weeks rest I bet we would look a whole lot better
