I think the Hornets are doomed.
That OKC team was SO talented, and SO dumb. Maybe the best stupid team in history.
For an oft-injured 34 year old with $200M on his contract? No thanks.
I guess that raises the question ... what is an "impact player"?
If it includes someone like Klay Thompson then there are a lot of guys around his level. Does it include Draymond Green? The guy...
I wouldn't say KD got handed to them. His old team had to screw up. The cap had to go nuts (which looks like it's going to happen again in a few years). And KD had to choose the Warriors.
In...
The Warriors got Wiggins and Kuminga for losing KD.
I think there should be a hard cap.
I said that if a team can draft well and develop well they should and could pay the tax to win. I don't think it's good because like I said there should be a...
The Warriors were a joke. It's not single handed due to Lacob, but it certainly is true that the Warriors are, I think #2 in the NBA now in value, and just based on asset growth alone the Warriors...
Who was called The Sauce a few years ago? I don't remember what team or the player name.
If we are going to talk about NBA nicknames, I think my top ones are Magic, Iceman, and Chocolate Thunder.
KD is going to be paid $53M when he's 38 years old. That's a tough deal to take.
Laziness is a poison, and it spreads if the coach doesn't have enough support to bench lazy players.
People seem to be overcomplicating the PBJ pick. He was drafted entirely projecting him based on his last year of high school which makes him a fundamentally sound player of somewhat limited...
PBJ seems likely to red-shirt a year.
I think there should be a hard cap to just end the discussion ... that is a fundamental problem though because the NBA wants the discussion to happen. They want all this stuff because it's more talk...
Just felt this was the place to say this. The Warriors, in addition to winning a title for my Mom, have signed Lester Quinones to a two-way. Check out those 80s shorts ... I'm going to assume...
I kind of think of about 90 NBA players that way :)
I'd like to see Kevin Knox in a Warriors jersey.
I think he can be one of those guys that every good team needs. Someone who pulls the team together and does whatever is needed to win.
I said more of a George Niang using modern comps.
Peak PBJ is all-star, but more likely he's a corner catch and shoot "big" who is barely functional on D.
Gui could work out. He's Leandro's...
According to Kerr the most "ready" young player is Moody who turned 20 this month. And this year their 3 draft picks were 19, 19, and just turned 20 years old this month. I don't know what made...
Klay Thompson was the same. Draymond convinced him that his defense could make him valuable regardless of missing shots. Even to today the low key Klay regularly talks about his misses in post game...
Sure, but if you could turn Russ into Kyrie?
Griffin was drafted. Harper signed a 2-way with the Raps, but I think Artest III is still unsigned :)
Apparently not only that, but signed a 2 way contract.
Okay. I don't think you can trade into the TPMLE and Poku makes twice what PBJ will, so you need to send out more money to put him in ... Moody, Kuminga, Poole, or Wiseman really, and all of them...
I don't think I said "ALL" ... certainly most. But I also said it only makes sense if they draft and develop talent well, and I said that is rare.
