The Ageless Vince Carter: An Appreciation

Filed under: Uncategorized — wwinston @ 3:11 pm

The 37 year old Vince Carter has defied the aging process. In his 3 seasons with the Mavs his Adjusted +/- was +5 in 2011-2012, +12 in 2012-2013 and +8 in 2013-2014. His Impact rating (Adjusted +/-  based on how you change chance of winning the game) was +20% each year, which ranks in the top 20% of all NBA regulars. Look how Mavs played with Vince in and out combined with other Mavs.  with Vince and Dirk in Mavs played 14 ppg better than average and with Vince out and Dirk in Mavs were average.

Vince will be missed and good luck to him with the Grizzlies. For their sake, I hope Vince can continue to defy FatherTime.

Free Agent Madness

As Steely Dan once said “the things that pass for knowledge I can’t understand.” Look at how Kings played with our without Isaiah Thomas on the court. Clearly Thomas made the Kings much better. Yet the Kings sign Collison and virtually give Thomas away to the Suns.

Then the Lakers give Jordan Hill $9 million a year. Look how he hurt the Lakers last year . How does this contract make sense?
