Lakers gonna have to play Ball 40 mins or Ingram gonna have to play minutes at guard.

Josh Hart pulls a hammy, out game 1, KCP suspended.

That leaves Lonzo, Clarkson and Ennis.....yikes.

 

[LAD]

Color me surprised...

I didn't think things were working and that the Spurs would target LeBron.

I am surprised that they haven't traded him after that fat goose egg he layed when Kawhi went down.

I usually know better than to doubt the Spurs, but I didn't see them really get any better this offseason and with the other WC teams bulking up I am wondering how they will manage to crack the top 3. I see them more around 4 or 5.

Ball and Clarkson are young, they can play 38mpg and Ennis can play the other 20mpg.

Limit the minutes of old fuckers like Lopez and Deng....

Alex Caruso hasn't been assigned to the G-League yet I think. He might have some minutes!

Why? He's been playing great!

Hopefully, Rudy gives them something .

Four sounds about right.

With Kawhi not being ready to go, 5 isn't out of the question with the improvements to the Rox, Wolves and Thunder.

I think they are both starting game 1.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Lopez will. Don't see Deng starting. He's hardly played a minute in pre season.

I'd probably give Brewer and Ingram all the sg minutes and let Lonzo/Ennis run point.
Clippers are small as shit in the backcourt.

Williams, Beverly, Rivers would get worked trying to guard 6'9 and above guys.

Milos is 6'5.

But, he couldn't guard a bolted down park bench

Pretty nice squad. You probably struggle with rebounding and steals, but other than that looks like you have a lot of bases covered.

I had an autodraft in a 10 team league (5 bench spots) and ended up with 8 point guards and only 2 centers lol. FU Autodraft.

We had to pause our draft and decide whether to kick someone out last second, he didn't pay and didn't show up. But his best friend is in our league and had his strategy, so we decided to let him draft for him. We don't allow autodraft in that league, you also get kicked out with no refund if you don't set your lineup more than 1 week in a row.

He might.

I would start Kuzma, Lopez, Nance, Ball and Ingram....

But, That would mean Clarkson would need to go ham in the 2nd unit if Randle is also out.

So, Deng might get the nod.

I worry about your boards.

But, you are gonna crush in dimes.

Ya'll are legit. I only play in one league with some friends, but there's no money involved. But it's super competitive because we all talk a lot of shit to each other. We only kicked one person out of our league for fantasy football. It was because one year he auto drafted, never changed his lineup(including bye weeks) and ended up winning the championship. His team hit pretty much gin every week, it was the craziest thing I've ever seen. Can't remember who was on his squad but pretty sure it was the year Shaun Alexander went crazy and he had him.

 

[Mecca]

I wonder if Aldridge realizes this makes him even more tradeable.

Below market salary with 3 years left on his deal.

He was hooooooooooooorrible last year.

But, he can still be productive.

I just love your analogies.

For the first time in 2 years, I will be rooting for a Warriors massacre.

Please destroy the Red Rockets...lol
