anthony edwards would be a big improvement over dillon brooks why doesn't anyone want the #1 pick e: at the very least, at least that means that no one will trade the warriors anything nice either

I'd be 100% on board with watching anthony edwards stink it up for 3 years before he starts to figure things out if it weren't for KAT wanting the exact opposite of that. Just trying to look out for the big guy

I already gave him the Bill Simmons book like a decade ago or something, when it came out. Thank you. the breaks of the game is the greatest book written by a mortal

I'd have said Lonnie Walker before he changed it up. I don't suppose there's an active mask or goggles player I forgot about, is there? He stopped a while ago I think, but Otto Porter wore them for a couple seasons. Shoutouts to Horace Grant for wearing his even after he got his eye surgery so that 4-eyesed kids could have someone to look up to.

i think chris paul's complaint that james harden wouldn't move around off the ball was pretty valid and a better place for the team to start looking at rather than trading away a top 3 point guard of all time in a really lopsided trade

MourningView posted:Deciding that the problem with the team is that the best off the dribble scorer in the league doesn't run around screens like JJ Reddick on the rare occasion he doesn't have the ball is a very missing the forest for the trees situation. if Big Game James didn't keep flaming out of the playoffs in embarassing fashion i'd take him more seriously. 2017 was a great year for the rockets, but man has harden been frustrating to watch these recent years edit: fwiw i dont blame the cp3 trade on Harden or Morey, i'm pretty sure it was 80% Fertita being a stupid impulsive broke boy clown Katana_Warrior fucked around with this message at 14:39 on Oct 16, 2020 |

Senator Drinksalot posted:I still think Wiggins will have a good year when the Warriors will have Steph and Klay stretching the floor for him. His main job on offense will be throwing it down which he is quite good at. he'll have an exciting 2 week span where it looks like he put it all together and is creating good plays off of closeout actions like he did last year, and then his attention will wane for the rest of the season like it has for the past 6 years

I was looking for pictures of Coby next to other players to try and analyze his True Height and see if he'd be alright as a full time SG, but I saw this and it raised an even bigger question: Now that Zaza's gone, does Wendell have the biggest head in the league? he's almost doubling Lauri in this pic

RaySmuckles posted:what do you guys think about this trade i don't think the spurs would give up their pick in this trade. Also, this pretty much puts the warriors in a 1 year window, because they'll be pretty capped out and won't have their trade exception to use unless they decide to re-sign LMA and patty next year, which hopefully they don't unless they're REALLY light years ahead

Wiggins + Looney for Tobias Harris is a perfect salary matching trade that would fit both teams pretty well. Golden State gets an overpaid guy to hit open 3s. Phili gets a scapegoat to shift blame away from Ben Simmons and an ever-injured center to back up their ever-injured center. Also their contracts are shorter than tobis.

Lowe kicks off the pod with a high-energy ad read then downshifts quick once he realizes he's doing a promo for an investigation into decades of sexual abuse they had a trade idea based around rozier + salary for gobert, and that golden state is going to make a light years move by taking james wiseman at #2, forcing the hornets to give them the #3 and another asset fwiw i'm pretty sure charlotte will be fine with any of the top 3. no reason to draft for fit when you don't have anyone unmovable.

A little scary that Phoenix didn't give him a chance during the Hornicek/Earl Watson/Jay Triano/Kokoshkov revolving door era, but on the other hand it probably helped his resume to not be head coach during that time
