Feel like that kinda clogs the paint too much to really be ideal, at least until Zion's jumper gets a little more reliable. Also can't imagine them wanting anything to do with Gordon given the history there.

I thought about the Gordon part and just figured he'd be a relatively easy flip or might even take a buyout . . . but also that's why I put two draft picks instead of one..

gordon would be a good sixth man for a contender and has good name recognition; you could move him pretty easily

He just kinda hangs out in the dunker spot waiting for a lob if they overcommit to the Harden drive, and it's hard for anyone to help out because the spacing around it is so good. Don't think that works nearly as well with NO's roster. It makes sense defensively though.

I can't remember if this guy is full of poo poo or not but it's a slow day https://twitter.com/stevekylerNBA/status/1134100823045300226?s=20 I'd 100% turn the no. 12 pick and like Marvin Williams into Capela. Gordon less so

Problem is that the Lakers don't have many good individual defenders so switching is how they manage to have a league average defense. That is cool.

A very Morey tactic to squeeze the last chance they have before Chris Paul's contract really strangles them would be to sit Paul for the first 40 games next year. Seems to have about 60 games and no more in him.

They were a game away from likely winning a championship over Cleveland last year.

Giannis is the superstar we deserve https://theathletic.com/1001604/201...urce=dailyemailThe Athletic posted:“I thought about how LeBron starts the season or Kawhi or all these guys, KD (Kevin Durant); have you ever seen how they start the season?” Antetokounmpo said. “Did you see the way I started the season? I was like, ‘I’m running through the loving wall.’ I’m just like, ‘AHHHHHHHHHH.’ The Athletic posted:“Now, every day in my head, I’m seeing Gasol double-team me,” Antetokounmpo said. “You think I’m joking, but I’m not. I’m not seeing anybody else. I don’t care who’s guarding me. Give me a name. Thaddeus Young. All I’m seeing is Kawhi, Gasol coming because I know that. When I get to that situation, it might not be them. It might be (Joel) Embiid. Ben Simmons guarding me, Embiid double- teaming, but that’s what I’m seeing now. That’s what I feel like I have to do better.”

That Cavs 2018 team was a pile of poo poo, but the Rockets that year were built specifically to defeat the Warriors and I think there's only so much clever defensive scheming you can do against a team whose one strategy is 'give it to Lebron'. Rockets in 6
