Thoughts around the league tonight... -Damn, that's a tough break for Fultz. At least he got his payday before going down. -And a Beal update... DAMN! 57 after 3Q. Finished with 60. Didn't watch, so I'm a little curious as to how he only had 3 in the 4th. Regardless, big time career game. They lost, he should pack his bags for sunny California when Kuz's new money kicks in. Didn't know he had it in him.
You know, sometimes getting the 2nd round pick is a damn blessing in disguise. Yeah, we could of got Tatum, but let's face it Fultz was pretty much #1 on every team's board. We dodged a .45 caliber bullet there. Also if we had Tatum, maybe Rob isn't willing to offload him to Brooklyn just to take on Mosgov's lame contract. So now would we have had the space for lebron? And we would have to deal Tatum for AD + the picks and youth we already did but would still be stuck with Mosgov's deal too. Funny how things work out sometimes. 1 Markelle Fultz PG/SG 76rs 2 Lonzo Ball LA Lakers 3 Jason Tatum Boston C Bags
you mean offload russell? yeah, it's possible that with tatum coming out of the gates playing well, we could have gotten overconfident like boston and prematurely declared him untouchable in trades, thus not getting AD. of course, had we gotten #1 in the russell draft, we get KAT, and I feel like maybe a good free agent joins us instead of mozdeng and the last few years are totally different. sliding doors...
That's right I got Russell and Ball crossed up there. Still yeah, we may have stuck with all the youth if we had got Tatum, maybe a decent playoff team but not a deep one.
I've watched this like 5 times and I still can't figure out what move he was trying to pull off. Did he forget which hand the ball was in? Was he trying to hook it to his other hand and then hook it to the basket with his left?
Sounds like we've found at least one of the expansion destinations. Reminder, we can only keep 8 of our players safe from being available in the expansion draft.
OH S***!! Did not know this was coming. When does it happen? How are teams compensated for players they have to lose? ??? LeBron AD THT The Eagle Kuzma Shroeder KCP (Center) (?????)
..... that's as great a fail as that cat I posted the other day who seemed to be looking at the top of the door 3 feet away and got like 3 inches off the sink .... plop!
Right now they're talking about 2022, so the 22-23 season. And while you can only protect 8, you can only lose 1 player. Compensation is that teams get out from the mountain of debt they're racking up during covid with fans not allowed in the arenas. Here's a blurb regarding player protection (there's a lot more about all of it in the link)
The Clippers never change, it’s almost comforting the predictably they bring. The names on the back of the jersey may change, but the one on the front rules over all.
Some of these shots by Curry with defenders on his eye are incredible And Wiggins looks very confident.
on that first drive, why is kawhi angry with folks? it was his job to stop the ball, and he should pardon his teammates for thinking that an all world defender had a shot at stopping a 6'2" guy from strolling all the way to the basket. and for all the people who hate gasol's mobility issues, serge ibaka cannot defend in space, either.
