Trying to think of a guard who evolved the most from college onwards and I still can't think of anyone who's developed more than Lowry
So basically Tim Duncan is the last guy to win a championship with a largely home grown team. Thatāsā¦ disgusting
(Top 5 pick, that is)

By Christberg Go To PostSo basically Tim Duncan is the last guy to win a championship with a largely home grown team. Thatāsā¦ disgustingWell, no, there's Dwyane Wade as a Top 5 pick.
There's obviously other players outside of Top 5 that have done so -- Kobe, Dirk, Kawhi, Giannis, Curry, Jokic, Paul Pierce (lol)
But it used to be A LOT more common:
Bird, Magic, MJ, Hakeem, Kareem, Walton, Isiah, Bill Russell, David Robinson

Yeah, I know. Should have clarified. Pretty damn gross regardless that this is happening.

Didnāt D Wade get his because of the Lebron signing or am I remembering wrong?

Heat Media is on one today. They think the Lillard to Heat trade isn't happening because ... Herro is white.
LeBartard today is on a "Woj is a shill paid for by Portland" ahahahahahahaahahahahaha
DYING. Someone please get fat white s y off the radio.

Can someone explain why anyone would want a player that, when he was benched, his eighth seed team went to the finals?
If he's SO GOOD... why aren't any of the other 28 teams trading anything of worth for him?
Checkmate, Heat

If Herro were 6'8" and could play the 3 he would have been traded to Portland already. It's like these dudes don't see that the Blazers got a bunch of young guards already on the team, what they need another 1 for.

It's like these dudes don't see that the Blazers got a bunch of young guards already on the team, what they need another 1 for.Portland got better shooting guards on their roster TODAY than Herro for less money. Why would they want Herro at $120mil? Makes zero sense practically -- and again, if he's SO GOOD, why isn't anybody else looking to trade for him?

this nuggest team had 3 of their 5 best guys homegrown including the top 2. that's pretty homegrown imo.
By DiPro Go To Postthis nuggest team had 3 of their 5 best guys homegrown including the top 2. that's pretty homegrown imo.I think it's impossible to home grow an entire championship team. Nuggets doing it with 3 out of 5 is pretty impressive -- as was Warriors with their core.
However, a lot of the championship teams past 20 years not even doing it with a single Top 5 draft pick guy is quite wild.
I think it ultimately says a lot about the teams that are landing Top 5 picks: they got Top 5 picks because they're badly run so they continue to be badly run. It's no wonder they're whiffing.
Sharing this again.

To be fair, I think Herro and Simons are pretty close skill wise. But Anferneeās contract is actually appropriate if perhaps a slight overpay.
If it was Lauri Markannen this trade would be done already. Skin color got nothing to do with it. Dudeās overpaid and plays a redundant position
By Christberg Go To PostTo be fair, I think Herro and Simons are pretty close skill wise. But Anferneeās contract is actually appropriate if perhaps a slight overpay.Anfernee is cheaper and has actual playmaking juice and can run the point. They're not miles apart but Anfernee is a better player at the same position.

And I think Maxey is better than both. So for the Heat Media to act like Herro is the cream of the crop is hilarious. Utah didn't even want him in a Donovan trade last summer.
Utah didn't want to pay him is all. Same reason they dismissed the RJ package more or less.
Simons, Herro, and Poole all may as well be the same player. Even if Simons is probably the most egregious with the looting.
Still shocked Portland didn't sell high on him tbh.

I think they'll look to move him next summer. No hurt having a 5th-year player around to put up 22-25PPG on good efficiency. His contract is good and he'll put up good numbers without sharing playing time with Dame now.

Agreed. All these kids are good but Maxey is the only one I view as having legit star potential. Gotta get back a blue chip SF or center prospect- anything else is a go pound sand.
Maxey*
Dude has Embiid.
Simons shoots damn near 9 3s a game lol. He better be averaging 20 especially when Portland ain't even winning on purpose for more than one month a season.

By You got 14 bricks right there? Go To PostThe sons of Beal.The sons of Ricky Davis. At least Beal can be a focal point. All those dudes are just interchangeable combo guards that are only efficient when they aren't the main threat or seriously trying to win.

Simons: 1541 3PA, .387
Poole: 1758 3PA, .339
Poole being a good three-point shooter is a lie told by media because he wore a Warriors jersey.

Honestly gotta add LeVert to the list too
Another guy who fit the template then got asked to win fulltime and looks funny in the light.
All those bozo ass threes with a pathetic free throw rate on a team with a moderate pace of play. It's definitively unserious bucket getting.
At least Herro can say he's been the only legit scoring threat on a team built to slowball everyone they face.

By reilo Go To PostHeat became a better three-point shooting team without Herro on the floor it's not even close lolTextbook streaky shooters shot streakily... ok sure
Portland legit throwing while Simons put those numbers up. Shit, Quickley could put up those numbers or better out there.
Assuming Dame gets traded before the season starts this year is Anferneeās chance to prove heās not a Levert or Powell type. See what happens but itās safe to assume the team is BAD this year. If heās that dude, theyāre close to .500 (probably not happening)
I see him as a great bench piece on a championship team but not quite a starter. I might be wrong though, still very young.

I don't buy the "but white" stuff either when Reaves sits near the top of the bracket of up and coming combo guards either tbh
Miami shit is hilarious cuz they honestly feel like theyāre entitled to Dame and that they shouldnāt even have to offer Herro, theyāre just doing it as a favor to Portland.
Because they are?? Dame said he wants to play for Miami. Portland is FUCKED, they just don't want the tape on pornhub

The fact that Lillard waited so long is still hilarious to me
And he's doing it in the most bitch made way possible.
