By reilo Go To PostOne of the bigger knocks on Batum has been his inconsistency and whether or not he could ever reach his potential.Dude always played better when LMA wasn't in the lineup.
By IWMTB19 Go To PostI'm pretty sure turning down 6 draft picks to pick a senior at #9 right after trading a 19 year old for a guy in a contract year is definitely trying to be good.Giving up Vonleh sucked. Really, really did. But at the same time we might be selling high. All I can really do is hope that Clifford learned from last year and that Lance was literally as cancerous as advertised.
It's a terrible attempt, but it is an attempt. They're trying desperately to win right now.
RHJ has some nice handles and seems to be a good passer too. Hard to believe that his busted shot alone dropped him all the way to 23.
By IWMTB19 Go To PostBut what does it mean? (idk)Bron just took Kevin's seat and made him pull up another one.

Selling high on Vonleh lol pretty sure his value has gone nowhere but down since draft day 2014, selling high relative to his new potential low next season I guess but playing basketball might make him better at basketball too.

Shooting is really important in basketball.
By D'Moris Russell Go To PostShooting is really important in basketball.Really? I had no idea.
MKG went 2nd overall just saying.

But for all I know he could be Ike Diogu or Thomas Robinson or Ekpe Udoh. Just a wait and see tbh. I feel like we'll regret that far more than the Brooklyn picks
By Forever Go To PostReally? I had no idea.MKG was one of the best college defenders of all time. RHJ is a hustlehard.

Kevin Love has indicated to Cavs recently he plans to return. Cavs also hope to execute Brendan Haywood contract trade quickly after July 1.
no love. check.
LA leaning towards SA. check
Deandre leaning Clips or mavs. check
Robin Lopez left possibly?
something something keikaku.
Greg Monroe wants a 2 yr deal with a player option.
That'd be the worst, he either sucks and takes his option or stays the same and takes that huge pay upgrade. The only good reason to pay Monroe now + years was to overpay for a season and then his contract goes to bargain territory. Hope he goes somewhere else willing to overpay for a 15/10 bigman with average defense.

By D'Moris Russell Go To PostKurt Helin reporting Phoenix will sign Brandon Knight to a 5yr/70mil at start of free agency.
That's a lot...
14 a season (27 mil for PGs alone) is not good but when the cap is 90 mil it'll be alright I think
Dragic is gonna get his money it seems.

I wasn't kidding about the Perkins comparison.
Even if he plays the best defense ever... having numbers similar to a defensive 4/5 as a 3 drafted 2nd overall in the draft just doesn't cut it.
EDIT: MGK has a worse FG% than Perkins in his best year too. Didn't notice that, smh.

10/7 at that clip isn't terrible for a wing with a fuct J and elite defense.
Perk was giving 10/7 as a center playing average D at best. You take MKG out of the 2 10 times out of 10.
Comparing the 2 is kinda crazy to begin with.

By Omega Go To Postdy why is MKG only taking 9FGA?he doesn't take bad shots. like... ever really. his j has been massively reworked but he still isn't out jacking up shots.
i remember watching him in college thinking he would be great.
he takes what he gets. the spacing for charlotte probably effected him more than anyone else imo
Is Al-Farouq Amiibo gonna be good at basketball now or is he just another failed gimmick by Nintendo?
edit: Supposedly Dallas is most likely to lure DeAndre away and Parsons is trying to recruit him now in LA ....and Wes Matthews was seen hanging out with them as well.
Wonder if Dallas could clean house to sign both of them

What.
By D'Moris Russell Go To PostBulls don't give Jimmy a QO, let him leave now instead of next offseason pls.Kobe off the bench. Do it Scott,
The Rockets are "probably likely" to stick with their plan to remain above the salary cap and spend the free-agency period putting the band back together by signing many, if not all, of their five free agents.
Morey did say there are "possible opportunities we have to explore that are bigger. But I think they're unlikely"
No Wizardry this off season then?
If you told me at the beginning of last season that the Suns, having Goran Dragic, Eric Bledsoe, and Isaiah Thomas on their roster, would dump all them so they can give Brandon fucking Knight 70 million United States Dollars......
i just... fucking hell man
i just... fucking hell man
Rumor is that as soon as Knight's deal is official Bledsoe is gonna be on the trading block. That deep Western conference could be thinned out on top if SA/DAL/LAC/PHO get gutted in the offseason
By D'Moris Russell Go To PostRumor is that as soon as Knight's deal is official Bledsoe is gonna be on the trading block.Okay I've reserved comment until now out of respect for Giri but what the flying fuck are they doing over in Phoenix?
My dude Brandon Knight is an inspiration
Take some of the meanest Ls ever televised, get 70 mill anyways

By Forever Go To PostOkay I've reserved comment until now out of respect for Giri but what the flying fuck are they doing over in Phoenix?No one knows what is going on, they seem to be content with Bledsoe as the PG and Knight as the SG. and apparently everyone is available except for Len and Warren.
Phoenix's roster is a mess but they've been anti-tanking, so they'll probably shift assets around until they're bad by accident or figure something out.

They got a court date on the 30th
By D'Moris Russell Go To PostPhoenix's roster is a mess but they've been anti-tanking, so they'll probably shift assets around until they're bad by accident or figure something out.The suns are no where near being competitive, there are some good young players and prospects on the team; but there hasnt been a star they have been able to land since nash was in town. The year they went all in on the tank it was a complete oppsite and last year it was a hot mess.
There needs to be some roster changes. They have bledsoe and knight but still need a back up point guard

@MarkG_Medina: Jimmy Butler hopes to get short-term deal w/ Lakers, though Bulls will likely match any offer he gets http://t.co/oZiuxJXcDA
so close yet so far away.

thx for fucking our cap tho, fucker.
hmm, didn't see the silver lining in screwing over your cap.
so in one single summer, Mitch fucked over the 76ers, and indirectly, the knicks,
and now the Bulls.
what did we warn y'all about mitch?

Not sure how sold the FO is about bledsoe. Neither am i. he's a good individual player, but he sux running the point, he's not a natural creator in the slightest.
FO seemed more intent to get Knight to be the ball handler, which sort of puts Bledsoe in a weird spot...
I think the reports out of Indy that said West is almost certain to go to NY disqualified him from the piece, those guys are the "wish we could sign them" people. To tell you the truth I doubt Knicks get Monroe, there's alot more attention being paid to him than I thought.
EDIT: Lin doesn't have a spot anymore to play for NY barring a trade.
