2019-2020 Official Regular Season Thread

Green and KCP have "trade blocking" provision on their contracts... The Lakers can't trade for anyone other than a rookie (or min) contract for Kuzma...

Danny Green doesn't. And KCP can absolutely get traded. He can veto any trade though

The Clippers' bench just scored 85 points in a regulation game. Last night the Wizards' bench scored 92.

Clippers are tricky, they always bring a big time scorer (Williams) off the bench.

Yeah... they try to copy the Bucks tactics who are bringing Hill from the bench to lead the 2nd squad...

They've been doing that with him way longer than the Bucks have you goofball

This is a reason bench scoring can be overblown as to how much it matters IMO. Want more bench scoring? Put a top scorer capable of starting on the bench (a guy who plays when it matters most....at the end)

Sure, you want bench guys who can score, but sometimes they score less because the starters are damn good, as well, and play a lot.

Yeah, that is the same.

Lou Williams might be the best 6th man of all time.

I think every good team should have a player or 2 off the bench who can bring some scoring punch. Those guys could even be in your optimal end of game lineup.

But I strongly disagree with what the Clippers did last year.

Harrell and Williams were their best 2 players. Bringing them both off the bench limited their ability to impact games.

If Cavs could have moved Hill for Williams and declined then they are the disaster many have said.

Two.

Lou is averaging 20 and Trezl is at 19.

Right, I forgot him. Pretty clever of Doc to copy the Bucks like that.

Yep, makes a lot more sense with Kawhi and PG there

No they don't... the previous season before the Bucks landed Hill, it was Brogdon coming from bench to lead the 2nd squad...

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Brogdan was drafted in 2016 and averaged 10ppg that season

Are you seriously comparing him to Lou?

 

[tlance]

No they don't... the previous season before the Bucks landed Hill, it was Brogdon coming from bench to lead the 2nd squad...

This is Lou Williams’ 15th season.

he has started a total of 114 games in his entire career and has won 6th man of the year 3 times.

But sure. The Clippers “copied” the Bucks in using WIlliams as a 6th man. Let’s go with that.

Do you think the Bucks invented the idea of having a scorer lead the second unit?

The Blazers are in trouble.

They have to make a trade.

Nurkic return is not enough to help them dig out of this hole.

Well, it is a copycat league.

 

[bksballer89]

James Johnson with 12,6,2, & 2 in 22 minutes tonight.

Why wasn't he playing again? LOL first game since late November

They need to trade CJ to shake the team up. Build around Dame.
