Missed JaVale McGee to the Suns.

I like the fact that they are protecting him-

he is what? 19 years old?

before he plays center he needs time in the league, and time to mature and develop. He can absolutely be a versatile 5 at some point in his career- but right now id rather protect him for the next couple years until he bulks up a little bit.

Not only that- but i think encouraging to use his skills to play more on the perimeter- on both sides of the floor- is where the Cavs will get the most out of him. He is absolutely quick enough to guard wings on the outside.

Him and Okoro- especially once they develop a little bit (i mean right now Okoro is 20 and Mobley is 19 I think0- should be a heckuva defensive combo on the perimeter.

I like how you're so optimistic about your big man, also saying he needs time to mature and develop. But Wiseman, who had MUCH less experience than Mobley does after only playing 4 college games is a bust.

And Mobley is only 3 months younger than Wiseman. Both are 20.

The hypocrisy.....LOL.

Provides some bench shooting at the 4, but other than that kind of meh on it. He's 33 this year without really having one stand out year in the NBA.

Restricted FA Bruce Brown Jr., is signing the one-year qualifying offer of $4.7M to return to the Brooklyn Nets, his agent Ty Sullivan of

tells ESPN. Brown can become an unrestricted free agent next summer. He's played important role both as starter and off bench.

i do not know one guy in the NBA that would rather have the defense keying in on him- then have an all star player on the side that draws a large amount of defensive attention.

shit- we saw it hear in Cleveland for years. of course its easier to play and you become more efficient with better teammates. Its not even a question the vast majority of the time.

Nobody on any level plays better with defenses keying on them.

Damn.....Rubio balled out vs the USA.

38 points.

Yeah, isn't that what I said?

Solid bench guy who could be in the rotation or not.

Good to round out a roster with vets like this.

Sure, but that also gives Lou fewer looks as those other players need the ball too. Who are these d-leaguers btw? It's funny to see you denigrate your own team's roster to try to win an argument in favor of one of your players, especially when you've been in favor of trading him in the right deal.

what do fewer looks have to do with shooting %? If anything, Low should make a higher % of his shots. He doesn't. He's pretty inefficient.

 

[The Q]

It is ironic seeing small market teams like the jazz and bucks have to do everything they can to duck the tax when setting up the tax was supposed to help small market teams like them….

Thunder going to shock the world with something, I can feel it.

US didn't do anything special to try to stop him either. No trapping or doubles, switched on everyone all the time, etc. He got through for a few embarrassingly easy layups, but so did the US at times. It does make you question his level of intensity in the NBA though.

 

[DJ]

Hill is more efficient on his FG% than Mills.....maybe he'd be a better fit, especially since he's played with James before. Something to think about.

Yeah the Warriors have eyed him before and he'll be solid in his role. Just don't know if that role moves the needle for me, so I'm not as hyped about the upside rather than I guess practicality.

The Warriors still have their MLE so I hope they're able to swing Mills to round out the roster.

PG: Steph, Mills, Mannion(?)
SG: Klay, Poole, Moody
SF: Wiggins, Porter, Kuminga
PF: Draymond, JTA, Paschall, Bjelica
C: Wiseman, Looney

How about 3 years, $60M for DeRozan? That would be shocking...
