15 and 7, team best +13.  I'm all aboard the Rollie's KO hype train!

The more Brad plays him, the better KO will play. He's still improving. He can be the difference maker going forward.

Someone probably told Kelly about my "Olynyk Must Go-!" thread from 2 weeks ago.

He's been aggressive ever since.  8)
Larry Bird was Greater than you think.

It takes a while to recover from an injury.
Plus, Kelly is rolling to the basket and making shots I have never seen him make before.
Those over the head layups are awesome.

He's certainly has improved and I'm inclined to go with a recovery from injury over "contract year" or "my CBlog thread" theories as the main factor.

so what type of contract would he command this offseason? would £8m do it?

I've watched a few highlight reels with KO. One interesting thing is that almost all of his buckets are totally unspectacular. He just "happens" to be in the right place at the right time for an easy layup or an open shot. Some call it coincidence, some call it BBIQ.

Yes. For his right leg. No way he is below 12 million, being modest.

He has played well, lately, I hope he can maintain it.

It's always a question of consistency and health with him. If he can stay healthy and stay aggressive, he'll be a major part of winning here.

Zeller gets paid $8 million to sit on the bench. Kelly will get much closer to $15 million

Kelly can be a good offensive player for us.  Fact is that 7 footers who can shoot will always have value in today's league.

I'm glad he 'got his groove back'.  Hopefully he can stay healthy down the stretch.

Because a healthy KO and a legit alternative scoring option just helps take the pressure off IT.

Kelly played quite well against the Mavs.  And hey how about Marcus Smart, he looked really good too.

Two words at that inflated price tag:

Not. Interested.

Mozgov got $16 mil a year for 4 years from the Lakers last summer. Biyombo got $17 per year from the Magic. I don't see any reason Kelly wouldn't be in the same range ($14-18), unless he just loves playing for Brad a heck of a lot and doesn't care about money.
