Best young core in the NBA?

[Malta]

I think it depends on the playoffs and how he plays...he says he wants to come back,I don't think it's guaranteed he is back...if they max him out and they have another epic collapse he'll be coming back with the same team that died back to back years...and they'll be worse cuz Biyombo will be gone...they can't come back next year with the same team...

I think masai knows this...

The issue will be that there's nothing on the FA market to replace him with, re-signing him and trading him later seems like a more likely option because there's no SG/SF that you all could get that can replace him.

They will just look at the PF spot and that will be the scapegoat.

@Malta how you not gonna @ me and give me some type of credit like I didn't inspire this thread?

and the clear answer is LWO.

This was inspired by the Pistons starting 5 all scoring in double digits yet again, they're a bench away from being a major problem because of the fact their starting 5 gets off with ease and basically is a new age team, they can switch damn near everything on defense.

Should be Minny NO QUESTION but i just have a feeling that Wiggins will frustrate us to no end with his inconsistent play

Orlando has a NIIIIIICE core

kinda feel the same way about him. Few great games 25+ pts...followed by passiveness and 11 pt games

 

[Lootpack]

Right now? Wolves.

Watch out for Philly in the next few years though. Embiid and Saric

 

[Malta]

In 3 yrs Towns will be the best player on that list gonna go with Minn... If they can add Mike Conley to that as a vet piece

In 3 years Giannis could be the best player on that list

 

[Lakerman0834]

Swag bros got this. It's a guards league and #LWO got the best backcourt on that list

 

[GilSho]

I think it'll be the Bucks.

Towns is by far the best player on that list but I'm not high on Wiggins or Lavine at all.

Bucks are going to suffocate teams with their athleticism and length. Middleton is an elite 3&D guy while Giannis can be anything he wants to be. Jabari's the wild card, if he can incorporate the 3 ball into his game then..

 

[NormanConnors]

Pistons all day

You of all people gonna go against the post player. Who hacking this account?

I'm not going against the post player, just saying that Giannis could be better, especially since he's sort of a post player, sort of a PG, sort of a wing....he's just leaving me like right now, he's the same height as Towns too


He's 21, Towns is 20, not much of an age gap either.

I'm loving this shyt. Still can't really believe that Harris trade happened. nikka been balling for us since he hit that starting lineup and the team is 6-2.

I don't think people have noticed the Pistons since the trade, your starting 5 has scored in double digits 6 out of the last 8 games, and in one of the other games someone had 9pts. The ability to switch on defense is the next wave, that's the next holy grail in the NBA and Stan is already ahead of the curve cause the Pistons can switch almost everything right now.

Stan has put together a vicious starting 5, needs to fill out the bench this summer, but as far as cores go they have the most complete since they have 6 guys all getting minutes and contributing. Tobias been shooting 43% from three since he was traded to yall too

No....

 

[Malta]

No....

I know you've disliked Giannis since he put the hit-stick on Dunleavy , but he's one of the brightest talents in the league and him ending up a top 5 player isn't some big stretch.

He's averaging 19/10/8/2/2 on 47% since the ASB and that's just scratching the surface.

 

[Th3G3ntleman]

Wolves have the best core as far as talent goes imo. Need to get a NBA player to play point and fire rigid ass Sam Mitchell and they'll be alright.

Bucks a close second though although Middleton has a tendency for too much hero ball and considering he'll prolly end up the third best player on that team he needs to fall back.

I do have a strong divisional hatred for him, won't deny it

Still, he seems destined to always be that dude who cant hit a jumper. He can be still be very good without a jumper, but not Towns good. Towns is gonna be MVP quality good
