As flashy as Westbrook is (and athletically impressive), I think CP3 is still the better PG. Westbrook has athleticism and youth over him, but nothing else.

Yeah, I meant his style of play is more adaptable to the way the Spurs like to play.

Cp3 would get everyone involved.

If Lamarcus didn't like sharing the ball/limelight with Dame, he would be over the moon playing with shoot 1st, 2nd, 3rd and last Westbrook.....Not.

K, Summer League getting interesting with Dloading...

 

[trojanfan12]

I'd take 500-700k to stay home and post on tHoop.



The main point being DJ ain't greedy.

Clearly, you are not nearly the pot head I am. Hence the difference in asking price.

Sucks....this kid was balling in Summer League.

Better it happened early Summer.

Should be good when the Season starts.

Exactly why I have no issue with Philly resting Simmons. Isaiah Thomas is an idiot for criticizing him. It is freaking summer league.

 

[purguy12]

I don't know.

I'd trade both for Westbrook.

He can give you Isiah's offense and Bradley's defense.

True but now u have another spot u have to fill. Plus OKC would want some 1st rd picks.

I've never really been a fan of Blake's game personally. Seems more about flash than substance that contributes to winning games IMO. I think the Clippers could use him to get a younger promising PF AND upgrade at other positions (namely SF).

I agree very over rated player.

 

[DJ Fieri]

TGIF!!!

This.

Even if Parker is more of a combo guard (career 5.9apg, despite playing with TD) than a natural PG. He isn't close to RW in FGA's.

 

[bksballer89]

I think you're an overrated poster.

I think you're an overrated poster.

I think you have no clue what you are talking about. LOL

Happened within the last minute of a game the Lakers gave away in the second half. Punctuation on a painful night.

Kyrie Irving hit up Kobe Bryant on FaceTime immediately after Finals win

Kobe Bryant may have retired at the end of the 2015-16 season, but he's still staying close to the game and its players. One of the players he's helping along is Cavs guard Kyrie Irving, who just came off of his first NBA Finals win.

In fact, right after he won the title, Irving got on FaceTime and contacted the Black Mamba.

"I actually FaceTimed Kobe [Bryant] after the game as soon as I got in the locker room," Irving told The Post Game. "Other than seeing my dad and my sister right after we won, FaceTiming him was just a great thing, knowing how he has won five and I just won my first. Then realizing how hard it is just to win one, my respect for him is already high, but it went to another level knowing that he's got five of them. I'm trying to get a second one."

So what did they talk about?

"[Bryant] was telling me congrats," he said. "I had been speaking to him throughout the entire playoffs and during the season. During the Finals, we didn't really talk as much, because for me, I wanted to experience it full on, and if I needed his help, I would reach out to him. He would send me some texts here and there, but mainly he kind of let me be, and let me grow into my own space."

Yeah, I have been watching a ton of Summer League and thought Nance, Zubic and Russell have been sensational at times.

He will be okay.

The Celtics would still have a shit ton of guards.

But, none defensive minded like Avery.

Rosier, RJ Hunter, Demetrius Jackson, James Young.
