Meh: I think people are really discounting how bad he was on offense in the playoffs. Ham put him in the dunker spot, at the corner 3, as the...
DLO and Vando now reach close to 30 million when combined in salary - unless he takes a huge leap offensively I wouldn't be surprised if they got...
:Sunglassguy: I don't think people have really digested just how good his catch and shoot game is. The only other bigs who had a higher 3%...
Not really sure who on this team is supposed to be the primary defender to take on Jokic or Murray 1v1. This team is definitely much improved...
My man Kuzma agreeing with me lol
Bingo: this is one problem for the Lakers and AD as he's a good post defender (he's destroyed Embiid before and he outplayed Jokic during the...
Hayes seems like a waste right now in terms of playoff basketball. A combo of Biyombo and Wood at C give the Lakers a lot more lineup...
I don't know from AD's perspective: playing C may mean in his head that on this Lakers team he's got to be the primary help defender, rim...
I don't know how we can really tease out how much better treatment helps (certainly coming back from an ACL to near prime physical ability seems...
OTOH Bird's prime ended at age 31 and Isiah retired by age 32 - that's crazy when you compare it guys like Durant and Lebron even Steph
I don't think people look at Olympics when discussing the GOAT - Durant and Melo would be in the Mt Rushmore of team USA as an example <shrug>
These are some real signs that this upcoming season maybe it for James. Olympics is a lot of miles to put on during the off-season and it his age...
The other team had Looney, Davion Mitchell, and some other mix of Kings/Warriors I thought
There was a really weird vibe with Dallas off the get go. It was obvious Kidd didn't like the trade and I have no idea whether it was more Kidd...
Team USA should have taken Kuzma instead of BI. Kuz will do what the team needs and during the bubble run and the year after he definitely showed...
Olympics need AD and Looney and a stopper like Caruso. Talent differential is no longer there where you can't take roster construction into...
Feel good for hedgehog. Wish he was still a Laker
Congrats to Dennis. Really wish the Lakers could have kept him. Gelled with the team and was a baller last year and did get great in the world cup
The 1/3rd of the roster that won't see playoff minutes......... This will now be me awaiting all the Vando fans [IMG]
Good point about Looney: US could have really used him. Doesn't get backed down, excellent rebounder, bruising screens
