By Gabyskra Go To PostDo you guys even realize that following the 2002til2006 debacle, Team USA understood they had to be a team and not a collection of players? It's a team sports. Coach K and the staff decided to have more continuity. Euro teams play together all the time, you have to think of how players are together, not just on paper, but also how used to playing together they are. Stop just bringing up weird assembles that have no history.They understood that they needed a better coach than Larry fucking Brown and guys that were at the very least cohesive instead of those "who feels like getting some free exposure? it comes with a medal :(" rosters
Team USA ball is still fucking trash but at least these guys can run a PnR with each other and stay out of their own way when someone feels like giving them a game.

That's not what happened at all. They just went out and got the best players possible. Dudes like Kobe and Wade and CP who were never part of the program prior joined. Yea they spent some time before 08 tuning up. But let's not pretend that they ran the same team for 6 years. They just got the best collection of talent they could, spent like one year tuning up, and annihilated everyone except Spain who Kobe daggered.
As long as the roster has a good to great NBA players at every position and you have some guys like AD and Kyrie and a couple other top 25 players. With a years worth of practice time, they'll be alright.
Kobe was there to dagger spain AFTER the debacle and "we need to give a fuck again" narrative started up
the only reason those guys hopped on was because they could proudly save america and shit. they never gave a fuck prior

By reilo Go To PostWade played in 2004, wtf. Chris Paul wasn't in the league until 2005-06.
I forgot about Wade.
I don't fault Charlotte for not taking the picks. Don't know what you going to get when it comes to the lottery. Plus that Brooklyn pick could of been the pick swap which is a not a good pick for them.
I would have liked Charlotte to take the picks since I feel like they need some more youth / major overhaul.

I don't understand how someone reads this and thinks he doesn't know what he's doing. Seems like he's got a pretty good grasp of everything.
Also, A) he thinks Bargs is a good triangle fit and B) wanted to compete at the start but changed his strategy to accumulate cap space, picks, and a good draft position mid way through.

By psychintellect Go To PostDidn't you say you were going to clown the Knicks or any org that would pick zingis over zonja?
Oh I did. Right when that pick happened. And I imagine I'll be doing that for years to come, especially early on as Mario is much more polished today than Zingis. But yea - he should have picked Mario
"Phil wanted to win, but changed his strategy to lose horribly."
Jesus Christ lol
Also DY, how does it feel to know your GM is a RealGM poster:
Why do people trade?
We would have signed Aldridge, but Spencer Hawes was already taking up that roster spot.

Adds Rich Cho, the team’s GM: “If it was such a no-brainer for us, why would another team want to do it?”
Why do people trade?
We didn’t have enough spots after picking up Spencer Hawes, Jeremy Lamb, and Batum,” Polk says. “Even if someone wants to give me first-round picks, what am I going to do with them?”

Btw guys, if you are interested in checking out the stuff I'm doing as an AmeriCorp VISTA, this map shows the organizations we've given books to. I've played a pretty large hand in the number of organizations that have gotten books in 2015. It's been a hell of an experience so far. Not sure how long I could do it, but it's something I'll never forget doing.

Watching the SA/DET Finals and man WOW its crazy how long the Spurs have been on top of the food chain. Just unreal. And that whole Detroit squad is gone now too.

The world’s tallest, and perhaps most famous, barista is stationed behind a busy coffee counter. His smile and easy-going style welcome customers looking for their Starbucks fix as they fastbreak to work or South County’s beaches.
“I love North Kingstown. It reminds me of my hometown, so it’s comfortable,” says the man, who stretches to 6-feet-11. “I like this community. Starbucks draws a lot of repeat customers and so many know me now.”
This is Vin Baker’s world these days. This is the same Baker who grew up in Old Saybrook, Conn., and went on to become one of New England’s all-time great collegiate basketball players at the University of Hartford. It’s the same Baker who won Olympic gold in 2000, played in four NBA All-Star Games and spent 13 years in the pros, including parts of two seasons with the Celtics.
It’s also the same Baker who battled alcoholism toward the end of his career. That addiction, plus a series of financial missteps ranging from a failed restaurant to simply too many hands dipping into his gold-plated cookie jar, combined to wipe out nearly $100 million in earnings.
Now 43, newly married and with four children, Baker is training to manage a Starbucks franchise. He thanks CEO Howard Shultz, the former Seattle SuperSonics owner, with this opportunity. He’s also a trained minister who savors work at his father’s church in Connecticut. Most important, he has been sober for more than four years.

If I was a GM who just overpaid a center, I wouldn't go around saying I didn't feel like giving an extra 25% at the same position for an All-NBA 1st Teamer. Just a lack of sense. "Saying shit" is not a plan, shit, i would clown a troll/Frankman so hard if he said that.
