Saric has played well so far, should win ROY. At the very least he's wrapped up the starting PF job

Yea, i've been really surprised how well he's been playing. I can't put my finger on what his exact skill set is, but he'sa tough player that just outworks people on the court.

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
How are they gonna add anyone though? They're already like $35 million over the cap next year.

Attach a couple of those picks with Turner?


They have 3 first round picks, they could draft OG Anunoby with their 2nd first rounder.

There's no reason to break up the backcourt now, they need to see how Nurkic/McCollum/Lillard look for a season.

and Portland GOT a first round pick for him.

I am still mad the Wizards didnt make a move for him.


Ernie threw all that money at Ian and thinks he's your future starting C at 30 :francis:. I can't be too mad at the Wiz moves though, yall have a good young core and picking up Bogdanovic + McCullough was a great move.

Instead of an ill-fitting Alvin Gentry, imagine Becky Hammon as head coach of the Pelicans

"Unfortunately, Alvin Gentry is the shyt-streaked and tattered underpants that would be the statue commemorating the aforementioned tragedy."

:picard:

nce in my seat, gazing upon bad offensive set after bad offensive set, viewing superstar big men play on the perimeter, noticing Dante Cunningham as the only player cutting to the basket — perhaps because Luke Babbitt left him all of his ‘90s emo records turning him into a cutter, beholding the Donald-Trump-trying-to-explain-how-the-wall-will-be-funded-like plays out of timeouts to watching moments of hope sunk with anvils tied to pianos tied to four dead elephants stuffed with concrete of despair.

Yall aren't that far to be honest, and the age of your core is just :wtf: considering how long they been in the league with Wall 26, Beal 23 and Porter 23.

I think the upgrade will need to be at the PF spot, Morris is just decent all around, you can get away with a C like Ian winning a title, but the PF spot needs a real upgrade.

the thing is Ian is 30 and when the perimeter core reaches its peak, an overly athletic center will be declining.

Def need to upgrade PF spot, but MOrris contract is team friendly so it can work for the next year or two.

warriors might get washed tomorrow....sheeit tonight too...I might be stepping off of the bandwagon this weekend...it was a helluva 2 years though...I always suspected KD might eventually derail the GOAT team - I saw that rick james tattoo as the beginning of the end
