Dejan Bimble posted:What kind of deal do you think Jabari Parker will get? I think the Bucks match anything on Parker. I'm really scared Utah will chase him hard. I don't trust his knees at all. I think I've come around to my ideal Utah offseason being just running things back with Favors on a huge one year deal and then making a free agent push in 2019 when the free agent class is better and they have almost no one on the books (Tobias Harris is a UFA next year I think and he'd be a perfect fit next to Gobert). I'm open to a trade for a stretch 4 of someone is looking to shed salary because they have a bunch of unguranteed money to move but I don't see an obvious deal right now.

I think they should trade Fultz, the 10th pick, and maybe Covington for another star. who is trading a legit star for a late lottery pick and a guy who might be broken?

cosmicjim posted:I’ve seen lots of people including “internet journalists” implying Lebron cant exist with other primary ball handlers, which is dumb after seeing in the finals Lebron need other people that can be primary ball handlers and after seeing how well it worked out for Harden and Paul. If Lebron is the only threat to make plays without being wide open, you’re going to struggle against the best teams. Harden and Paul are both great shooters. He can play with another good ballhandler, but Simmons also can't shoot when he's playing off the ball so he'd need to become a next level great cutter like Wade did to be worth a poo poo without the ball. Thats a lot of guys who do most of their best work right at the rim when you throw in Embiid too (who does at least try to shoot threes but is still really bad at it)

It definitely could work, but it also seems kinda silly to pretend that there aren't any issues with their fit together at all. It took awhile before he and Wade totally figured out how to play together too and Wade was a much better player than Simmons is right now

Dejan Bimble posted:That's probably the best approach, maybe swap something for Jae Crowder because he stinks, leave the team as is and hope for great improvement from Mitchell and Exum. I don't think Favors will fetch a fortune on the open market, but he's useful to Utah because he can play with Gobert and also swing to 5 for Gobert's predictable injury time They kinda have to keep Crowder if they're gonna keep Favors. The lineups with Gobert at center and Crowder at the 4 were absurdly good this year, and he's the best stretch 4 option on the roster (Jerrebko doesn't play D and Thabo is old and coming off knee injury). It'd be nice if he shot better but teams still pay attention to him and he plays really good defense. He's also got a pretry good contract.

I don't get how you guys think Paul and Harden is remotely comparable both of those guys are great outside shooters. I also don't think Kawahi is ultimately demanding a trade when the Spurs can offer him a supermax he can't get anywhere else. Aldridge was pissed at them at one point too, they eventually figured things out.

Lockback posted:I think you have an unfair assessment of Simmons based on the first playoffs he ever played in. He is already a matchup nightmare and will be getting better. Considering now you are talking about long stretches of a PG or SG having to guard either Simmons or Lebron, the offense will happen if they play together. He's literally never been able or even particularly willing to shoot going back to high school, how is pointing out that he's bad at it unfair or based on a small sample? I already said I'd do it and that it's possible it could work. That doesn't mean there are no potential issues. Simmons is a lot less scary without the ball MourningView fucked around with this message at 23:02 on Jun 9, 2018 |

jackofarcades posted:this is true, but do you remember how bad in the clutch and stupid the 6ers were? Simmons and Embiid did not come off looking very good Embiid is amazing but yeah he does a ton of stupid poo poo and can be pretty sloppy with the ball still. There so many things he can do that are incredible for someone that size but he doesn't always know when to do them or isn't able to pull it off consistently yet.

If it weren't for Booker I'd be more Morris was a pretty good pick! I mean shame that Kawahi went after but that's pretty good value for 13 usually

Wouldn't want to risk a sure thing like the guard who forgot how to properly shoot a basketball. Also if his team wants to offer him a supermax I assume he's probably not about to die. R.D. Mangles posted:actually, i've read some Basketball Bloggers that assure me that basketball is an improvisational art at times as tough and spare as the prose of Ernest Hemingway, at times flowing and lyrical, sometimes incomprehensible like James Joyce or the works of Apollinaire and that JR Smith is exactly like Friendster If you're gonna do this correctly I think you need to name drop Miles Davis too

Rick posted:Hahah, oops. Forgot to scroll down after the Spurs on the list I was making this from. They actually have some roster flexibility. They'd have to renounce Exum and Favors, waive all of the non guranteed deals (Thabo, Udoh, Jerrebko), and find someone to take Burks, but I think they can get to max room if they really try. Also, um, lots of NBA guys now seem to like Park Slope? It's definitely happening. MourningView fucked around with this message at 06:11 on Jun 12, 2018 |

As long as you know where to go or at least just look on your phone and the place isn't ridiculously crowded then who cares if you have to pass 8 Applebee's on the way Also most places have lots of chains, that's what makes them chains. No one is forcing you to eat at them. There is plenty of great and diverse food to be had there without trying especially hard, and it's super affordable by big city standards
