Extra, Extra Read All About It
The upcoming offseason is nearly here. There will be many big names in the FA pool. Will they stay home?, or will they depart to other teams?
The Choker
The biggest Target no doubt for many teams will be Latrell Artest aka "The Choker". He is no doubt a top 5 player in the leauge. He can do it all. Next year if he's put at the point guard slot, you know he's gonna average a triple double. He makes his whole team better and he takes smart shot selection. He can score all over the court and usually locks down his opponent with many steals and blocks to go along with his Superstar stats. He will be a big target. Will he resign with Nike? Will he look to move?
Its all up to him.
Michael Henson aka "Hurricane"
Former most improved player of the year, this guy is a flat out stud. He can drop bombs from Beyond The Arc and he can cut to the basketball as good as anyone else. If I were a GM he would be a main target with his consistant upgrading he might even have a bigger contract then The Choker. This guy has added a new dimension to his game which many guards cant do. He can Rebound the ball well and block shots. Watch out Ladies and Gentle, Hurricanes gonna come ripping through a town nearby you.
David Harrison aka "Hulk"
Playing behind the shadows of The Machine, Starbury and Mad D nearly the entire year, The Hulks numbers dropped dramatically. He is no longer the dominant Hulk as he once was. Maybe if he is the main big man on a team he might return to his dominant forum. There are many teams out there looking for a guy like the Hulk. He is one of the best rebounders, shot blockers and inside scorers in the league. Maybe he doesnt want to be a Part of And1? Maybe he wants to be a main focus on another team. We'll see during the offseason.
"Alphamale" and "Wreck"
Many teams need waterboys, so they are available. J/K ;D Ok these guys are good players. Alphamale is a consistant Double Double guy. If he improves his offensive abilities he can be a 25 and 10 guy. He was a very important asset to Converse's 2 wins. . Converse will be likely to sign him but other teams may need him for a 6th man. He might be the leading contender for 6th man of the year if a team signs him for those purposes. Now to "Wreck". I dont know who he is. He's gonna be a free agent. Teams may want to sign him for a role playing job.
Well thats it for this edition of "Cream of the Crop" stay tuned for this offseason. ;D
