Hall of Famer

All of the signing so far are solid. Young athletic guys who can play defense and decent shooters. With LBJ and AD, I suspect they'll have career...

If we get a focused Kyrie it might be worth it, because he has the ability to be a top guy, but that's a big if because he's so out there. The one...

We'd be ready to make a run!

I actually really like TJ Warren (so long as he can stay healthy). He'd be a really nice complement to LBJ's drive and kick style of play.

:laugh2:

So far the signings we've made haven't been bad. Younger guys who are solid players and have decent athleticism. No great pickups yet, but some young...

I have very little respect for KD

As much as I like KD's game and I think he's been getting way too much hate in some of these threads lately, it's hard to respect him because he's...

Kidd ($1) Kobe ($5) Pierce ($1) KG ($3) Shaq ($5)

Great game tonight and great win. In today's day and age, your good MLB game (like today's) is better than the best NBA playoff games. More an...

Its not my favorite rule for sure and I wish they didn't have it, but I still love watching the games. Easily the best American sport, imo.

:cheers:

That's unfortunate to hear man.

Did people just stop watching baseball??? lol

Sorry to hear that man.

Agreed. I think this forum has a pretty strong recency bias, but it does go in the other direction as well for sure.

I (strongly) disagree about him not being a bad defender. I think he used to be a really bad defender and over the past few years or so has improved...

I think we generally agree on these points, but I think I value perimeter defenders more than you do (and that's where the crux of our positions seem...

I don't think they are the team to beat. If this exact same series were played a year from now, I'd actually pick the Celtics, because they had them...

Well David West was an all-star caliber player for several years, but the reason I mentioned them together was because neither was a great defender,...

The warriors happen to have several very good perimeter defenders not named Steph, which makes up for Steph not being great (I think almost all of...

I definitely don't think I'm factually incorrect that rim protectors are more important than perimeter defenders. That would indicate that all rim...

Sure, but those were simply examples I used off the top of my head. We can certainly list other great defensive perimeter players who the same would...

That's a fair point, but I think your example speaks to defensive players being grossly underrated. It's possible I am underestimating the impact of...

It's a reasonable argument to make. For me though, defense is too important to get him in the top 10. I think Magic was moderately better defensively...

Maybe, but for me the defensive shortcomings are too large to overlook. Even though he has improved defensively, he has an entire career of being a...

Curry's a stud. I dont think I'm underrating him. He is a great player no doubt, but for guys in the top 10, they aren't as bad on defense and they...

Sure, but does his offensive contribution outweigh his defensive limitations enough to put him in the top 10? Just about all of the guys who are in...

:laugh2: :cheers:

Yep, well deserved for Curry for sure
