Lamelo's net rating this year is one of the most bizzare things Ive witnessed in recent memory. His efficiency (53 TS%) is below league average and his AST/TO ratio isn't anything particularly special either but its clear as day hes the most important player on that team.

Even Haliburton whose another one who's raw stats doesn't really match actual impact isn't touching his advanced numbers. Dude has got that Derrick White thing going on.

Diabate is a fantastic player and Kon flirting with a 50/40/90 season in his rookie year proves he's probably going to end up in that tier below Steph with Nash, KD,, Ray etc as a GOAT caliber shooter. Really fun team.

Man the fact that they got so many guys that can shoot the three ball is fukkin insane! They started on Boston like these other teams .. you can fukk around and the score will be 10-2 or 15-3 or some shyt. This team has always had this potential, I have always said once they figure out how to play defense they will be a problem. Go back and look at how much they scored when they were losing. I was like all they have to do is figure out how to play defense and adjust a couple things and they’ll be okay. I definitely didn’t see this happening though:wow:

Literally been talking about ways and reasons why the Bulls should entertain adding Diabate since Nov. 2022



Diabate is a big to take a flyer on. Makes no sense why my team has 10 guards on the roster and not this mfer instead

:francis:

I'm just a guy who played HS basketball and coaches Bitty Ball that watches NBA from my couch from time to time and I saw Diabate as a value add early.

Not sure how any team needing a young big just ignored this kid

:why:

Do they have a roster spot to pick up a dude for the post season?

But I like em.. I hope they upset someone.. but I really want them to be buyers in the off season and make a win now move. Especially if they get to the 2nd round.

At first I was down on melo but dude is a beast offensively.. he plays so carefree.

its almost certainly going to happen

the rumor in the building at the deadline was miles/miller/1st for giannis - peterson then goes on the mic and says the team deserves to see how far this momentum can go and all the other good stuff. we gotta pay moose and coby but lamelo and kon are definitely not going anywhere

I’ve said it before but this team is going to derail either the Knicks or Pistons in the playoffs and then of course get their ass beat in the next round.

They need a solid 8-2 run to end the season and take the momentum into the playoffs. Right now they could be the #10 team or 6/7 with the way the bottom half of the east is looking
They too soft in the middle. Pistons will live in the paint against them.
