That is the hard truth...all of them lack the immediate "presence" of the individuals you mentioned. No one does to be honest. If they do, they are elsewhere [re: Jackson, Cuban, Popovich, Riley...]. The Buss duo and Kupchak have to work that much harder to be convincing.
Right now I'd take Javale McGee and KJ McDaniels and call it a day. Why? Two reasons: 1) Both are shot blocking machines. 2) Both are electrifying high risers, and would at least be entertaining to watch, and keep butts in seats. With Randle, McGee, McDaniels, Upshaw, Nance and Clarkston we'd be one of the most athletic teams in the NBA. PG-Russell/? SG- Clarkston/Swaggy SF- Bryant/McDaniels/Swaggy PF- Randle/Nance/Kelly C- McGee/Black/Upshaw That is a team full of young studs that I'd have no problem getting behind and watching grow.
Amazed we haven't made a move yet. Its not that I even want a splash or names, I just want to see some sort of plan start to be carried out.
How about 7-8 million at Koufos/Mcgee, 5 millions at KJ Mcdaniel, 7 Millions at Jordan Hill and 3-4 Millions at Derrick Williams, sign vet PG with Low MLE and call it a day?
I really hope that we already have a couple deals already and just waiting for LMA's decision before announcing them.
I bet we end up paying Hill more than the 9 mil we were supposed to pay him this season. To all the people saying we are now going to build through the draft instead of free agency. Not only do we owe 2016 top 3 protected pick to philly, we stil owe the magic our first rounder in 2018. One pick in the next three years...
Cant wait to hear what the fo has to say We've decided that we will hold off on signing any major fa to maximize our efforts in potentially signing TWO players next offseason. We feel very strongly based on our long history nof attracting major players here. Please help us "woo" them here by making these trend on twitter #KDTOLA #LEBRONTOLA #WESTBROOKTOLA #HARDENTOLA #EVERYONETOLA And in the end no one to la
GTFOH Woj. I used to like this guy. Noticed he was in LeBron's jock a lot this year. But the Clippers CLIP. That's what they do and he seems unawares to come up with that horse bleep.
Trade whom for this nutless head case? Why not do the easy thing with money for nuthin' ..... chicks for.....errrrr..... Biz or Dufous?
Can't believe there's actually an argument comparing the Knicks and Lakers. Knicks are a playoff team even if they get nothing out of Porzingis this year. They will have a strong defense, actually put pieces around Melo, and have strung together a starting lineup (yeah, they still need a pg) that will appeal to a FA next year. We've done nothing and have two NBA players on our roster right now -- Kobe and Swaggy.
I haven't even gone on twitter in like 3 hours i'm just gonna bbq tomorrow drink beer and wait for summer league, which is basically our nba team
Well looks like we missed out on everybody. May be a blessing tho because our first and second year guys will get some serious burn.
