All these teams with young talent. It's depressing to not have a squad in that group

Jimmy, Lavine, Portis would have been fun though... :francis:

and add in Rose who has found his all star level game again

:shaq2:

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
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

:mjlol:

His jumper is an issue, but the thing is he's got PF/C height with a PG's skillset. This is the first time they've put the ball in his hands and let him work and the results are just :wtf: levels, even without the jumper he's been posting up on the block and there's not much to do with him there because he's much bigger than the typical SF and he's far too quick for PF's to check.


He's taller than some of the centers in the league, there could come a time when he's playing C in a smallball lineup, grabbing a board and going coast to coast which would be hard to stop.

I'm gonna hate this dude on several levels being a Bulls fan. Dark days may be ahead.

It's critical we find a longterm center to replace Pau and Jo this summer. Whiteside would be a godsend but he doesn't fit Hoibergs offense and he doesn't fit the 'type' our vanilla ass front office likes :francis:

Dark days indeed, cause the Pistons are in your division too, their starting 5 is -

22 (x2)
24
25
26

19 year old Stan off the bench.

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 :mjlol:
Tobias been shooting great since he got here. He and Morris play really well off each other. Would have loved for that DMo trade to have worked out since it would have gave us some nice offense off the bench, but I guess Stan already got a Hot nikka on the team, wasn't trying to add a hot back nikka too.

I think it'll work out in the end, it's best not to fukk around with back injuries and they'll have some money to play with in the summer too.

Pooh looking like he might be bike :lupe:


Harden is 26. Dmo 23, Capella 20, kj mcdaniels 20.

Also shouldnt the suns be there in the first post too

McDaniels is 23 and is basically glued to the bench, with tonight being the exception. I like Dmo, but that back issue is a bit troublesome and since you traded him it's fair to say you probably wont resign him.

The Suns have Booker, Len & Warren, not much else (Knight is :ld: ) and Bledsoe's knees are on borrowed time. The Booker/Len/Warren trio isn't really on the same level as these other cores.

some of these answers are retarded

again, factor in who the coach is. Talent ain't gonna be shyt if it ain't coached right.


The Celtics, Jazz and Pistons have the best coaches.......


Coaching doesn't mean much without talent, we saw how the Celtics looked before they traded for Crowder and Thomas.

We're also seeing how they look without upper echelon talent. Goes both ways. shyt coaching can ruin the talent you have. Really good coaching can enhance it. It matters. It's probably the biggest thing that can hold Orlando back

Nah, there are some fit issues with the Magic, their PG isn't that great and is a terrible fit with Oladipo, and as good as Vucci is on offense is defense is pretty suspect.
