Lonzo Ball ole defense means play every PG facing him in daily fantasy. That means either Mudiay will look like CP3 or Murray will be Steph.

If you watched the game it's clear that scoring isn't going to be what he's going to be brought in to do. He changed the game with his BBIQ and passing. The real problem is that Doc is his coach and if Doc doesn't know you he doesn't play you much. He'll have to find a home somewhere else if he wants to be in the league for 4 to 5 years
The NBA today is a league that has little use for a PG who can’t score. I don’t know that it’s worth getting too excited over 6 assists off the bench.

Only loss they're really gonna feel is Bradley, and that's because Smart has proven to be awful offensively and depending on his development Brown may not be ready to start full-time. If Smart can even be an average shooter and/or Brown can take the next step, it'll go a long way to softening the blow. Additionally they'll miss Olynyk solely due to the spacing he provided off the bench.

As far as the rest...Crowder got replaced by a significantly better player in Hayward. Amir Johnson was unplayable by the time the playoffs came around. Jonas Jerebko had some good moments in the playoffs but he was useless for most of the year. Mickey, Zeller, James Young were trash.

As a sidenote, and this isn't directed at you, I wish people gave Bradley & Crowder this much love when they were actually Celtics :mjpls:

There's always gonna be some apprehension when a team loses it's there best players. Arguably the heart and soul of the team. Talent wise they may have been replaced.. But defensively they seem much worse on paper

:francis: everyone doesn't need to play the way you want them to. A non-scoring PG off the bench that seems to make your team better by just being out there is fine especially since he's coming off the bench.

We JUST saw Rondo completely change a playoff series with his impact and he's pretty much an intangible guy

Tedosic was a terrible defender even by Euroleague standards yet y'all want him to start because he can make some fancy passes like White Chocolate? :dead:


I thought y'all said Blake should be running the point more anyway with CP3 finally gone so wouldn't him coming off the bench be better anyway? :jbhmm:

It's fukkin' lit. @DonKnock :banderas:

We're obviously going to remain the 2nd best offensive team in the League behind Golden State this season & be much better because efficiency will increase & turnovers will go down with CP3 here now.

The only question left with this current roster is can they be a Top 5 defense like they were in 14/15? The arrival of Tucker, Mbah Moute & CP3 will help. I also expect Capela to make a huge leap in a contract year & Harden to improve with Paul constantly barking on his ass + the much reduced offensive workload.

We'll probably destroy OKC in 5 once again this season. :wow:
