    Or...Jules/Mintz are a bunch dummies thinking they can go start next to AD as a 4 rather than start next to Bron as a 5. They didn't like what happened to DLo, so no Paula meeting and Jules demands out...little did they know, back to the bench they'll go...bye ho, bye ho...

    Live look at Mintz clients... But I swear dudes are all dopey AF..

    Sore elbow, but dude played tonight and got 17p, 17r and 7a -2 in 41 and will play tomorrow.



    Meanwhile dopey played just under 23 mins off the bench and was a -23 for the game (but got that anemic double double tho).

    He's working on his next payday, but his numbers don't translate to victories yet.

    They kind of do though. The Pelicans are 4-1 when he plays and 0-3 when he sits.

    In the one loss he played in, Davis had 17/12/7 with a block and played over 41 minutes.

    If you gave me a pick of any player to get in the NBA it would be AD by far. Can you imagine being able to play McGee as his back up? Or having both on the court when we need some stops at the end of close games? He's the only player I would give up two of the four young core to get. Even if it was Lonzo and BI, I would pull the trigger.

    Center: AD / McGee / Moe
    PF: LeBron / Beasley / Moe
    SF: Kuz / (Korver) / Svi
    SG: Hart / Lance / SVI
    PG: Rondo / Lance / Caruso

    If you asked me straight up today, right now, who would I rather have. Giannis or AD I would pick Giannis.

    Stays healthy, great relationship w/ Kobe after working out this year with him where he was proud of beating Kobe to the gym and having a workout finished. Just a really solid person. Not to say AD isn't a good person, but the personality and mannerisms (how The Greek Freak carries himself is impressive to me). The game of AD I think is more balanced but I like the upside of Giannis compared to AD who is amazing.

    I would not complain about Giannis. Great young player. I'd do BI and Hart for him, but not BI and Lonzo or Kuz.

    I'd give up any three for Giannis or AD. Lebron/Giannis destroys. If you can somehow keep Ingram, Giannis and Lebron as the forwards. Ingram as the shooting guard.

    No I thought you meant that Davis's numbers aren't translating to wins.

    No, Julius's aren't translating to wins either. It's a similar situation to what Julius was doing here for us in LA.

    I would trade BI Lonzo Kuz Hart and multiple first round picks for Giannis. He's a generational talent and only 23.

    everyone not named lebron for davis. as we've seen, once you have two stars, you can trade absolute garbage for a third one (houston's about to do it...again). nobody on the roster projects as anywhere near AD's impact, so all should be available...simultaneously.

    You're both crazy...AD (emphasis on the D) is the only guy you trade for with that type of haul and I would easily trade 9 players (not a player more) for him.

    You can quote me on that too!

    I don't know man. He's doing that same stupid s*** that Westbrook and a number of these NBA guys do these days with wearing glasses just so he looks smart. If you look carefully they don't even have lenses .... purely for show. Plus he has a crappy attitude.
