Jabari Parker has a torn ACL

Vivek is their owner, Stauskas was his pick so McLemore is on borrowed time.

Wasn't he the owner when McLemore was picked too though?

but that's what I'm saying. They have young talent, TWO potential building blocks going forward (only Parker out of their core was a top 5 pick), and they've shown they can hang so far. Why even bother trying when Parker was healthy if the idea is to suck balls for the next 2 years (in the middle of even trying to keep yourself in Milwaukee as a team?) They were lucky enough to get Parker the first year they went in the toilet. If the message is "even if he comes back and y'all look the same way y'all look now, keep losing" all you're doing is breeding losers. Believe me, I understand both sides of the argument, but while being in the treadmill is the place nowhere wants to be if you wanna win a title one day, there's nothing more pathetic than a young team that loses all the time, keeps losing and isn't learning anything but losing.

The problem here is that one of their building blocks just suffered a potentially career altering injury, especially when you consider the kid struggles with weight and will now be inactive for at least 6-8 months. They got absolutely lucky with Giannis, how often do teams hit homeruns with the 15th pick and his development isn't a given, he's still a reliable jumpshot away from being what he can be. Personally, I'd just call it a season, they are overachieving and getting into the playoffs won't be that much of a positive now.

So who wins ROY now?

Frontrunners gotta be:

1) Andrew Wiggins
2) KJ McDaniels
3) Nerlens Noel
4) Zach Lavine


Wiggins should probably have this shyt gift wrapped to him

Like I said earlier, just give that shyt to Bazz.

and make Adelman and Flip present it to him since they hate him so much

And it's just Wiggins and McDaniels really going at it. LaVine's PT is gonna go back to nothing once Rubio and Martin come back unless they clean house (to which I say, the fukk are they waiting for?)

He was, but I think Stauskas was HIS pick, as in he overruled everyone in the draft room for him.

so worry about his development. He's not the only youngin there.

being in meaningful games late in the year >>>> Drafting Montrezl Harrell for all involved. That shyt will do more for someone like Antetokounmpo than tanking for the remainder of his rookie deal. At some point, teams are gonna hit that no man's land spot regardless of talent. It's hard to bypass that.

Long story short, this isn't the year really to do all this tanking (shyt, and that's coming off this past year where it was supposed to be THE year to tank)

I just wanted to post this bc I was shocked that ESPN had Brad Daugherty on something that was non-Nascar related

That's the thing though, nobody expected anything out of him and he's greatly exceeded expectations due to being forced into a role as the best player due to the 76ers lack of talent. If they get more talent out of him this time running and being featured on a team may embolden him and make him a better player for the future. May give him the confidence that he can be the man.and he'll just have to learn to play a more controlled game. Way easier to teach a player to dial it back compared to teaching them to be more aggressive.

Nah man I knew he would be that dude...I watch cuse bball. He was so good! 6-6 pg was to hard to pass up imo...Tyler ennis is going to be a star as well, he just stuck on a team with 3 PGs that can avg 20ppg. Kaleb Joseph who is at Cuse right now as a freshman! He is so tough at PG. Dude is amazing

He's going to have to come back lighter and toned

Has to watch what he eats but he's still very young. As long as surgery is straight and he doesn't rush the rehab he'll be fine

Bro he was already lighter than he was in college. Jabari ain't that heavy

 

[Recca Gatsby]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

fukk!!!!!

 

[Full Measures]

Just the luck of the draw

That said, dudes over 240lbs shouldn't be doing Euro steps with any regularity.

Bari ain't over 240 pounds though. He came into the season pretty slim and looking faster than in college
