We'd be left with two guys (LeBron and AR) that can initiate offense. That's untenable IMO. Sure you could sign someone like Fultz or DSJ, but...
With Gabe looking more like his Miami self the last few weeks, I'm not sure swapping him for Valanciunas is a net gain anymore.
I've never been a huge fan of Cam, but you have to give the guy credit for always playing with energy and effort even when his minutes fluctuate.
LeBron/Kawhi/AD probably would have been too much talent to fail in the short term, especially since we still would have had a decent supporting...
I get that the best player on the team tends to get the late game free throws, but we need to stop giving the ball to AD in those situations....
It's something I've always been frustrated with, but teams want to minimize the chance of a turnover in those situations. You want to score to...
If this is what LeBron can look like after a few days rest, we need to rest him here and there going forward.
Really encouraging defensive progress the last few games. More drop coverage and much less switching when AD is out there. With Reaves back...
I'm starting to think Gabe sticks around through the deadline. The guy competes defensively every night even if shots aren't falling (or going up...
^ health plus they just weren't that good in the first place, despite being a bad matchup for us. In 2022-2023 they won 48 games and were the 3rd...
I'm not sure there is a good fix when the core problem is that 3 pts vs. 2 pts is too much of a premium for accomplishing something that isn't...
So the Nuggets would presumably start Murray/LaVine/Braun/Gordon/Jokic? That's a more dynamic offensive team. LaVine can do all the movement...
Yup, I think JJ sees a lot of himself in Max and Knecht. JJ was one of the biggest names in college basketball when he came into the league, but...
I thought Kuzma was inconsistent but defended well at times when he was here. He moves better on the perimeter than Rui. The 2020 team was a good...
I thought Ham was fine in 2023. Not a big value add, but not an active detriment to the team. Going small in Game 1 against the Nuggets in 2023...
They can keep tinkering with All Star Game formats all they want, the real problem is lesser interest in the current crop of stars.
Annual trade season reminder that this FO has actually been pretty good at covering its tracks. Didn't hear anything about a Russ trade until the...
I haven't watched him much the last couple of years either, but if they're trying to get rid of him when they're 18-9 and in 2nd place in the...
It's a great point about Johnson. The Nets want to be bad, get a good draft pick and draft the next star of their team. If all that happens, you...
He's got the right combination of enough lateral quickness to stay in front of guys as well as enough strength to be able to stand his ground...
