how bad did the suns f*ck up trading the lakers pick so they could get brandon knight?

:mindblown:
They wanted to upgrade
You can say the same for Nik Stakusus....how that turn out :francis:
And a lot more other guys. The bottomline is who you play for has a big part to do with your development for most NBA players.

Don't get overrated and not good confused breh. He's a good player and he does get buckets but he's overrated, mostly only by homers tho

To me, he's better than Harden. He's all around, he can score, defend and dive. His shooting has become more respectable as well. He's not a true #1 but with Lowry, he's a monster.


DeRozan is as good a half court scorer as there is in the league but his defense is absolutely atrocious and maybe even worse than Harden. At least Harden can get steals sometimes and can actually be ok on ball. DeRozan is horrible, prob the worst starting 2 guard in the league (defensively)

By all metrics, he's a bad defender. Not worse than Harden but yeah, looking into it. He's been pretty bad. I guess it's the games I watch because he has played great defense in those games.

@Darealtwo1 see bolded above. Stauskas was never the attacker or athlete that allen is although was a shooter. Sacramento fukked up his development. Stauskas is a terrible comparison for allen anyway.

I keep telling people, the Hornets might be the best team in the East if MKG was healthy. This is low key one of the best teams I've seen this year. I still like our chances without MKG v. them but their development, change in style and Marvin development has put them in the drivers seat. What fans don't realize is, once Kamansky adjust to the NBA, this team might low key be the next GS. They don't have a true PG but Kemba is a legit #1 option on offense. Dude is unstoppable right now and is closing in on Lillard in terms of scoring.

Oh, on the Hawks, Teague is low key playing elite PG right now. I don't know too many PG's playing as good as him right now other than the obvious Curry, Lillard and Westbrook's.


They are vastly improved but no they aren't a championship team they are just having a good season you know when the playoffs hit the game changes...

This Hawks vs. Pacers has been a weird game, looked like Pacers were on their way to tie the game sooner or later. Then PG missed a transition 3 when they were down by 8 and Hawks went on a 20-0 run :mindblown:
