2016-2017 NBA Free Agency/Offseason Thread

Yes they did and he was one of the worst in the league. Who put this idea in your head that you need to have Ben Wallace-impact in order to be a defensive anchor?

if you're among the worst at anchoring a defense then you're not a defensive anchor.

if you are talking about roy...well its clear you didn't watch us play last year. defensive anchor has always been used in a positive light, not to describe a player that plays bad defense. but I'm sure you know this/


at 2016 roy hibbert being described as a defensive anchor, nikka "anchored" a bottom 5 defense in the league, just stop

They brought in the heavy hitters

@NY's #1 Draft Pick

 

[Payday23]

he played 20mins a game last year, to say dude anchored their defense is a bit of a stretch, when dude barely played. dude gonna get paid based off the cavs series. elite defender but lets see him play starter minutes before we start calling him an anchor. you are putting him on the same level of a ben Wallace when you call him an anchor

Exactly.

A defensive anchor is a player that anchors the defense for a team. Why are y'all making this harder than it needs to be?

 

[Dwight Howard]

@ "begging" fukk outta here with the hyperbole.

I said they should give him minutes, they didn't You're already trying to start the angle with him, shyt is comedy, he wasn't even on your radar yesterday now you're ready to put him over Biyombo someone who is elite on defense.

bottom line, you thought he deserved minutes, am I right? and im not saying mozgov is better than biyombo. Id rather sign biyombo

Because if you're not good at something, that's not the role I'd refer to you as. If that's the case then Rondo is a jumpshooter cause he's taken some jumpers and Rubio is a slasher cause he goes to the hoop sometimes.

Dion got himself a market & the new money got all the GMs retarded. Dion won

Heat? Hell the fukk no

 

[Dwight Howard]

us thinking he will have an impact is different than saying he's better than biyombo...

literally never said this. Biyombo was my 2nd choice after whiteside, you can go back and read my post...

 

[Rigby.]

Heat? Hell the fukk no

he can replace Wade when Wade leaves for Cleveland
kind of like a delayed trade for LeBron

That doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Look at what you're typing. Hibbert's main role on the Lakers was to protect the rim/paint and provide help defense.

Deserving minutes doesn't mean he should start or get 4 years $64 million
