Applicable to Mo and Paul:
"But as one general manager told SN: “This isn’t going to be like most offseasons. There is cap space out there, but no one is going to be giving it away. I think there are a lot of players who will be in for some serious disappointment. Things are shifting.”
About Mo:
"Williams is an inefficient offensive player and bad defensively. Watson is a very good defender and though he doesn’t score the way Williams does, he is more efficient offensively. Because Williams has more of a reputation as a guy who puts up points, in past offseasons, he might be able to command a decent contract this year. But look closely at the numbers, and despite making nearly nine times as much as Watson, he was not a better player."
About Al:
"Atlanta’s Josh Smith and Utah’s Al Jefferson, for example, are big guys who are not necessarily efficient scorers for their positions. And in Jefferson’s case, his defense isn’t much to write home about. In the past, a 6-10 center who is only 28 and averaged 17.8 points would break some NBA team’s bank. But Jefferson’s deficiencies are going to factor in his contract, too."
