I was gonna defend Self but then I remembered Cole Aldrich.
He can even trick Presti into wasting a lottery pick. That's some evil shit.
By rodeoclown Go To PostI would never advocate drafting a kid from Syracuse ever again. I just can't. Jim Boeheim doesn't produce NBA players.
Yeah. Boeheim will take a good prospect, taint them with his fuckery, then send him into your huddle like an infested terran. Self may as well run Weenie Hut Jr - Dude consistently produces Charmin every single year.
By DY_nasty Go To Post i hope knux doesn't read realgm too much because charlotte fans have already traded kemba to philly in their hearts and minds lmao
That pick better be attached then....
I like Kemba tho...most of it is based off of him looking like Prime Iverson against our garbage PGs

Take the pick too.
Hibbert has a player option for next year, and here's how the Pacers are handling it:

Does new scheme mean Roy Hibbert will be benched, Vogel said: "Possibly."
"Roy's role will be diminished."
There it is again.
Bird not fucking around.
OH MY FUCKING GOD
Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Dion Waiters on why the stepback jumper is so comfortable for him: "Can't guard it"
Please get rid of this clown by any means necessary, Presti.
Listened to Kupchak's presser. They clearly started to tank mid way through.
In 2015 we began to realize that we weren't gonna win a bunch of games. And at that point, what became important was developing young players and try to maintain and build a culture for next season.
On Clarkson:
Once again, as we got into the second half of the season, it was obvious that the season wasn't gonna go the way we hoped it would go, and Byron and I had some discussions. And Byron put him in the starting lineup
I knew that he wasn't playing Clarkson and Black and Kelly because he thought he gave them the best chance to win. It was a clear and present shift in focus.
By RBK Go To PostDid Clarkson start before or after the rotator cuff injury?
Literally the very next game. Kobe tore it on 1/21 and Clarkson started on 1/23

Have to put out a entertaining product at least.

That's an incredible quote. He actually believes teams are trying to gaurd against a shot they would roll out the red carpet for. What a clown.

Like Riley isn't trading that pick anyways.
loooool so we're throwing hints that we may not even give biyombo the QO and clifford is talking about how Zeller needs to learn to shoot corner 3s
i'm fucking done
Spo says he wants us to play faster next year(can't get any slower) and Whiteside will a major part of the offense.
I'll believe it when I see it.
“@DraftExpress: New salary cap projections sent out to NBA teams: 2015-16: 67.1 million, tax 81.6, 2016-17: 89 million, tax 108. 2017-18: 108, 127 tax”
Holy Fuck

Clarkson ended up the best player on the perimeter, lol.
Regarding kelly, he was basically hurt the whole first half of the year. That was his issue so I won't put that on Byron or Mitch. Black also got hurt soon after signing and playing right away.
By Dark PhaZe Go To Post Biyombo leaving was obvious...y'all didn't respect himI can see the wiz getting him to replace Seraphi n
i know ;_;
By HasphatsAnts Go To Post I don't see how losing Bismack "Bricks for Hands" Biyombo can be considered a bad thing.
One of the best rim protectors and rebounders in the league. His hands are actually 'average' now too. Put him on a spaced out floor with a PG that knows how to throw a pass and he's Chandler Jr. He's probably THE needsachangeofscenery guy coming into the FA period.
By psychintellect Go To PostYea I was gonna say biyombos hands aren't bad now.
Not like anyone's passing him the ball tho lmao
Dude meshed with Lance immediately - funny because it illustrated how all the other guys had built up distrust after years of watching him catch with his feet and elbows.
We'll probably trade him and a 1st for jeremy lamb then burn our stadium down
By KingGondo Go To PostOH MY FUCKING GOD

Shiiiiiettt that too good
Honestly if LA was truly tanking Clarkson would have had been benched or had his minutes reduced in March. Black still had 8 DNPs after Kobe's injury, he also started 12 times while he was in Houston, were they tanking too?
In the end it's a thin line between tanking and giving minutes to the guys who will definitely be back next year and need minutes to develop.
"Clarkson started the day after Kobe's season end, that proves it." FOH
Kelly getting minutes was shitty most nights, but like...who the fuck else was gonna start? Carlos Boozer? He was atrocious this season too. The only real egregious 'tank move' was not starting Ed Davis every night but even then he's undersized can't realistically start against most C in the league.
Almost any line-up of healthy Lakers looks like a tank squad, our roster missed 339 games due to injury. Literally lead the league for 2 consecutive seasons now.
By Moris Go To PostBlack still had 8 DNPs after Kobe's injury, he also started 12 times while he was in Houston, were they tanking too?
Parker/Leonard + Pop(maybe) + Great FO + lots of money to spend.
I don't think the NBA would flat out allow any team to truly tanking, it's a business and they still have to put out an entertaining product every time they hit the floor. I'm just an outsider looking in, but I don't even think they were all that aggressive in the offseason either. Trading for Lin was clearly a move to set them up in the future and I can't tell you why they claimed Boozer.
By Moris Go To PostI don't think The Spurs are getting enough attention as a team that will have a lot of cap space when the cap jumps.They build through the draft.
Parker/Leonard + Pop(maybe) + Great FO + lots of money to spend.
They haven't signed a marquee free agent since TMac.
They seem like a smart enough organization to know they are going to have to figure out exactly what they are trying to do post timmy before they start splurging.
Those 'he got chubby' 'he has an attitude problem' rumors suddenly seem a bit more credible
By Moris Go To PostJoel Embiid got fined for missing rehab sessions.
Those 'he got chubby' 'he has an attitude problem' rumors suddenly seem a bit more credible
Old News. He was tired of all the rehab and flaked off. Got fined and got his ass in shape. Not a big deal.
Howard Eskin is the guy who "broke" this story. Hates Hinkie and Hinkie legit trolled him at the deadline with a "where's Howard at" shot. Trust me, if Embiid was fucking up more than Howard fucking Eskin would be reporting on it. People really want Hinkie to fail so they can rub it in...
By psychintellect Go To PostAD could make a lot of money if he takes the QO.
I mean a lot
I haven't done the math but surely it's his best financial option?
