Around SBN: Kobe Bryant Will Never Top Michael Jordan

What about Rodney Carney?


Carney is still available on the free agent market and would come out a cheap price.  He spent the last season in Minnesota but with the Wolves recent signing of Sessions, I think Carney could be out of the picture.  He could easily step in for Kleiza, can play SG or SF is a solid defender and can hit the three and is a monster on the fast break.  It's like combining Szcerbiak with Desmond Mason.  Thoughts?

Carney reminds me of the 2008-09 Kleiza

Except at least Kleiza was beefy enough to play in the post. Carney is better defensively, but KIeiza was better offensively. Both were pretty good 3-point shooters but also very inconsistent. Reason why we haven’t called Carney yet is because I believe he’s a RFA, and with Kahn, you never know what’s gonna happen

It has a nice ring to it. But I think Carney is easier to pronounce. I guess he’d be alright though. LK defense was suspect at best, and I’ve always believed in that lame saying that the best Offense is great Defense, so all things considered we already have scoring threats and extra Defense never hurts.

Good point

Carney= strong defender but pretty bad offensively when not shooting the 3. And his 3-point % of 35% isn’t very mpressive

STIFF LIST (as of 4/26 by Andrew Feinstein)

1. METTA WORLD PEACE

Metta resorted back to Ron Ron last Sunday by clubbing James Hardenwith an "inadvertent celebratory elbow", landing him a 7-game suspension. Apparently, changing his name didn't prevent NBA commissioner David Stern from overlooking Metta's past behavior problems.

2. CHARLOTTE BOBCATS

The 'Cats are on the verge of securing the worst winning percentage in NBA history. Given that the guy who runs the team - Michael Jordan - had previously drafted Kwame Brown and Adam Morrison, should this really be a shock?

3. OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER
The team that was supposedly built to overcome the lockout-shortened season managed to lose 7 of its last 14 games, ceding the Western Conference's 1-seed to the Spurs in the process. Their reward might be a first round matchup with defending champion Dallas.

4. BILLY HUNTER AND DEREK FISHER
With report after report coming out about NBPA union head Hunter's shady, nepotistic dealings and questions arising about Fisher's own role in dealing with NBA owners behind Hunter's back during the lockout, this off-the-court scandal could prove to be more exciting than the playoffs themselves!

5. STEVE NASH AND THE PHOENIX SUNS
The Suns are on this list for squandering the last few great seasons from Nash. Nash is on this list for his stupidly stubborn loyalty to a franchise as awful as the Suns.
