Not ideal but I would start Van at the 4 if no other moves

 

Yikes, this can go forever then.

Well, it's time to start going into hibernation on NBA and enjoy the vacations

 

I can kind of explain that but I can't stand it...lol. We run anti back down drills for it. When a stronger player does the back dribble, the weaker player feels the pressure and steps back and then he feels the pressure again and steps back. You have to grip the floor with your toes and hold your ground. Then it will be an offensive foul if they push over you. The thing to be ready for is if you get too straight up is the spin move. This is what made Rodman so darn good was that he had the strength and smarts to get wide and dig in, he was strong. He rarely got beat on the spin move.

 

Luka Doncic: 'I'm 100% Healthy Again'
In an email sent out to his fans this week, Doncic made it clear that he’s now 100 percent healthy after taking some time away from basketball to begin the NBA offseason.

 

Basically he is just letting the rest of the league know the party is over. Kind of like Larry Bird in the 3 point contest telling the others they were playing for second place.

Wasn't he in the best shape of his career last season? I'd hope that he can at least be similar, to a 41 year old Lebron on D at PF. Is that really ideal tho?

 

I thought it should have been called on Jordan but as friendly as a whistle as Jordan got (and he got a lot more friendly whistle say then Lebron) at least the defender didn't get a fouled call on him. Somehow defenders get fouls called when SGA pushes off with the forearm shiver on them!

I also agree i hate the f***ing jumping sideways or forward to get a foul when a defender jumps. Screw that call; no one shoots like that - people would laugh at you if you tried to pull that s*** in pickup. Call that an offensive foul which it is and I'll be a happy camper

 

is...everyone...just now picking up on this? our problem for years is having more than one of our highest paid players needing/wanting to play the 4/helper spot on defense.

 

Fischer was aggregating Christian Clark's report which never stated any interest from the Lakers. Clark never said LA had interest.

If there was interest, Its only via buyout

 

Best shape of his career but not his best possible shape. I think him, Mamu and Van at pf will work. I still think they should have kept Jason Hayes. If Walker gets injured they toast. Have no small ball player to fill in if needed.

 

I like Jarace Walker. He’s the best player on that list. Loads of potential athletic and skilled. 23 years old. Young. He definitely fits the profile.

 

I've thought about this, but our rim protection would be absolute dog poop with just Kessler. Be like the good old days of AD's one-man defense.

 

why is it petty if you can get an asset back?

 

But yeah you're right. They're only interested in him on a minimum contract if there is a buyout but if you're Dallas why are you in a hurry to do him that favor?

Do you have a hot prospect that needs minutes? I'm not sure they're that stacked lol.

 

Could not have afforded what they wanted to and were able to get so far, with what he got paid. Have Mamu and Looney, should be OK hopefully.

Am not understanding maybe what you're saying? Because Hayes wasn't a small ball center, can't shoot from outside. And what do you think Mamu is? It's what he has most played recently.

 

Lol. I literally was just saying this.

 

Last season had Hayes, Ayton, Lebron, and Maxi this season Walker, Looney and Sandro If Walker goes down they left with Looney and Sandro. the next best thing after that is vando. So if one of the bigs go down our small ball game may not look so good.
