On the other hand I could see in 2-3 years saying "man, you remember a few years ago where you could of have had him for 3 million". I could also see him almost out of the league in 2-3 years.
Exactly. That´s the whole point. I laid out the case for Bamba. He´s played for rebuilding teams his whole career with (awful) young score first PGs. He was injured the whole time on the Lakers and I think that´s actually the biggest problem. He just can´t seem to stay healthy.
But here is a funny comparison.
Tyson Chandler
Season 5 (in Chicago) averaged 5 PPG, 9.3 RPG, 1.3 BPG.
Season 6 (in NO with CP3) averaged 11.8 PPG, 11.7 RPG, 1.8 BPG.
Season 8 (in Charlotte with DJ Augustin) averaged 6.5 PPG, 6.3 RPG, 1.1 BPG.
Season 9-11 (in Dallas/New York with Kidd/Billups) averaged 11/11.
PGs matter to the type of center Tyson/Bamba are and he´s never played with an above average PG in his whole career.
