By blackace Go To PostI do like how the Suns are getting burn for their young bigs.. I wonder if one will have to go in a couple years tho..Chriss is already starting, Dragan needs more minutes. Len won't be back next year at this rate. They both have been looking good lately, Dragan is better than I thought he would be after his first couple of games. We really need a point guard though. Bledsoe can't lead a team and Knight is worse than the shannon brown and michael beasley era

He is still shitty on the glass but the PF position is as weak as it has ever been. He out there eating.
Yeah, do you think they will try to fix the pg spot this year or do it through the draft next year?

I think they persevere with Bledsoe but run more of the offense through Booker, tbh.
But ... Knight is shooting him self out of a contract at this rate. His fg % is .339. Not his 3pt %, his FG%.
Honestly, Barbosa has been more valuable. Significantly so.

Surprised you say that. Len has been going ok since starting. Not amazing. But solid. As a starter he's averaging 10pts 11rebs in 28mpg. He's basically putting up ROLO numbers. Which is fine. And as long as he can be a 10&10 guy, he has value. Bender has played some time at the C, and he's well over 7ft. A more fast line up with Chriss at the 4 and Bender at the 5 is feasible. But .. 2 years away.
But that's pure best out come thinking. Len will probably stay if they trade Tyson though, and they don't get an upgrade. And will be purely a stalling tactic to give Chriss and Bender time to develop. Both are still teenagers.

But .. 2 years away.He has played much better but we have seen it from him before, the inconsistency where he has a stretch of good games then plays like its his first year again. I think you are right he will be a placeholder for the youngins to develop but i wouldnt trust him to be the inside presence of the future the team will need, and i dont think dragan or chriss will be either, thats not their game.

By blackace Go To PostIs Al Horford ever coming back?
Next week
By Adam Blade Go To PostAlso, Scrubio -14, Dunn -3, Jones +1.Weird, it's almost like Rubio had to go against Chris Paul and the ridiculous starting five of the Clippers all night and Dunn got to play against their trash ass bench that Doc didn't trust to nurse a 13 point lead.
@dy_nasty vindicated?
By that same logic of single game +/-, Cole Aldrich (+5!) is better than Karl Towns (-21), too. Guess we better start him tonight.
The way the wiz have handled wall feels like tanking tbh
You have John play against the Hawks and then sit out against the magic on a back to back. Then again on a back to back he plays the Cavs and sits against Chicago.
Its ridiculous.

If it wasn't for two fuck nut GM's (phx, sac) the celtics would be the laughing stock of the league right now--the IT trade got them two likely all-stars if Horford pulls it together this year.
Phx GM is not that bad he got great pick hauls for the guys he sent out. Devin Booker is a stud in the making too
Sacramento is pretty bad.
Also yeah Ainge is a great trade GM..... He wins his trade 9 times out of 10 (Isiah Thomas for example)..... However Karma is real and he hasn't been able to draft for shit. He's also is a good evaluator of coaching talent.

What did that pick even turn into? For IT they got the Cavs super low 1st rounder. Did they package that in another deal?

You and Kibner should know I'm just trolling. I don't really buy into that simple +/-.
I do like Ricky's defense and vision but wow at that jumper.
He's too injury prone too. Has hurt my fantasy team in the past. :<
I'm also not that high on Dunn as some people are on here. Think Ricky is a better fit for the Pups.

He also did the bledsoe trade. the one that got plumlee / green for Scola. Drafted TJ Warren.
He also got unlucky that the Morris twins went full cancer. And IT was too.
McD has been ok. Good at the draft, mediocre at roster building. But getting better at it.

By chandlerparsons Go To Post7 games on the road. Only bad loss was against the Lakers.They also lost to the hawks.
And they've been beating up on bad teams. 2 of those wins were vs the mavs.
It's not a really great start. when your star is putting up those numbers but you're barely above .500
By giririsss Go To PostHe also did the bledsoe trade. the one that got plumlee / green for Scola. Drafted TJ Warren.His problem is signing players for no fucking reason, like IT and Barbosa. His trade and contract negotiations have been solid.

They've beaten who they were expected to beat (aside from the aforementioned Lakers loss).
You're right, it's not a great start, but who was thinking the Rockets were going to be great? Top 5ish offense, bottom 5ish defense is what I expected, and a record around .500 reflects a team that falls middle of the road on aggregate.
Davis is putting up 31-11-3 and his team is 1-8. There's only so much a star can do, and with Harden (and his stats) being so offense-focussed, that's especially the case.

We drafted Lebrondae and Caris Levert in years when we weren't supposed to have a pick at all.
We bought Whitehead for cash.
Our team is young, fun to watch, and improving visibly every game. In your soul you are jealous.
Don't need picks, got Sean Marks.
