He's older than me, lol. He's only 5 years younger than Del Curry. Gotta love the medicinal marijuana ad patch...

Had to look the info up but cbdMD products have no THC in them. But if you get CBD's infused w/ THC @ a dispensary the CBD's work quicker when mixed w/ THC.

Highly doubt russ is still on okc in a month. With the free agents in 2021, no way an i making a ridiculous deal for russ

What's crazy is they can still get one of those 2021 free agents even with Russ and Butler.

No to CJ McCollum though. I saw those rumors. He's not that good.

Wait, maybe I'm doing the math wrong. Fuck it. I'm tired and sleepy.

So, this is how buttoned up the Clippers were and continue to be re: getting Kawhi.

I just heard Don McLean being interviewed. He's a Clippers color analyst, works with guys preparing for the draft, knows a lot of folks in the NBA and especially with the Clippers.

He was asked what went down with the Clips getting Kawhi.

Even though both Kawhi and PG are signed, he said he knows exactly how everything went down, but still can't say anything.

Ehh teams have done the same to before. It is what it is

Teams have come to terms with a player, then a week later told them they changed their mind?

When? Who?

Spurs made multiple moves because of Morris verbal commitment.

I’d agree that Dolan shares in the blame.

Owners are their own worst enemy.

What they SHOULD do, is both tell Morris they changed their mind.

If there are 12 or more players in this draft class better than Herro, then its one hell of a talented group.

I read, certainly not sure if true, that hes off limits in any Westbrook trade.

It is summer league. RELAX lol

 

[WiggyRuss]

Yeah, time to admit we were wrong about that guy.

He was terrific and didn't cause any problems.

terrific?

ya think that his terrificness just scared teams away? That Taj Gibson, Enes Kanter, Ed Davis, Mike Scott, Robin Lopez, Thomas Bryant, Frank KAminskey, Kevin Looney- to name a few got more money?----to name a few more Valunciunas, DeAndre Jordan, Al Aminu, Thad Young,

ZUBAC GOT PAID COMPARED TO MCGEE!!! LOL....you think thats an accident?

is McGee starts is he the worst starting center in the NBA?

who is in the running?

CELTICS: Kanter (much rather have Kanter- esp. after that playoffs)
KNICKS: Taj Gibson, Randle or Robinson- all of them youd rather have
BULLS: Wendall Carter Jr? If the Lakers tried to trade McGee for WCJ they would be laughed off the phone
HAWKS: Alex Lenn? hmmm.....we have our first candidate!!!!
WZIARDS: Thomas Bryant is 21 and already a better player, but then again, do the Wiz really count as an NBA franchise?
WARRIORS: Looney and or WCS? Ill take both, or either. lol
CLIPPERS: Harrell and or Zubac? same as above- BOTH or EITHER
MAVERICKS: Dwight Powell? yah. Dwight Powell

so......id say that Alex Len and McGee are in a battle for worst starting center in the league.....though Looney and WCS arent far behind....

so many teams have multiples that are better.

easily 9 guys should have 100% been taken in front of him

after that anyone could have been taken from 10 to 30 and would have had an argument for the most part.

Im not questioning draft order, because I dont know the players.

If they are all better then him, then great draft class is all I can say.

Ive been to multiple summer league games. Im quite aware of what they are.

That being said, hes the real deal.

Zion, Morant, Barrett, Garland, Hunter, Culver, White, Reddish, Hayes, are all a tier above Herro talent wise.

after that, any team could defensibly take any one out of Haichmura, Herro, Cam Johnson, Little, Langford, Porter Jr., PJ WAshington, Sekou Doumbraya, Goga Bitadze, Brandon Clarke, MAtisee Thybulle, Chuma Okeke, Ty Jerome, and it wouldnt have been a big surprise.

a few guys I guess are more specialist types like the Cavs taking Wynder, Spurs with Samnic, and a few others that would have really rocked the boat that high i guess......but all of the above were pretty evenly rated.

 

[Heatles84]

We get Vincanity in his last year. I'm cool with it.

Yah I cant wait to see him play some garbage time in Game 5 of Round 1 when the Sixers are closing you out.

Russ, change the station.

This tune is getting old.

The guy did everything they asked him to do and he wasn't the space cadet I accused him of being.

I was wrong about him.

Ps. This is the 2nd time you quoted this post. Did it bother you that much?

So you’re giving experts opinions again?
Any of them have Josh Jackson as franchise changing player for at least 7 years?

Did you even look at that chart/link I posted earlier?


In a year or two from now, a redraft will have the top 20 totally different.

You're way too high on Reddish. I watched almost every Duke game. He is nothing special.

There is a reason he dropped from a projected top 3 pick in November to pick #10.

I was wrong about him.

is he the worst starting center in the NBA? or at best top 3 worst?

is there a reason why he got a 2 year contract worth 8 million dollars?

Let me answer my own questions

1. yes- he is arguably the worst

2. There IS a reason why he got the contract he got- no one wanted him. its a funny little league the NBA but for the most part, players that teams actually want tend to get paid. Hence why a guy like Thomas Bryant or Zubac or even Taj Gibson got paid, while McGee was left with scraps.

its for a simple reason. Its because hes not a good NBA player.
