honestly- id much rather have Schroeder and Hield.

I actually really liked the Schroeder signing for the Lakers last year- and had plenty of posts about it- he plays good D, can control the offense, and get to the rim and make some plays. He got in a little over his head for sure- but hes 27 and is in his prime and I think would have learned from some mistakes.

RW is such an all in move that limits you so many other places. If he is not good or gets hurt there is just not much place to go.
They didn't sign Schroder, they traded for him

I can read just fine.

"Riles has lost his fastball."

"The Cavs will win another title before the Lakers do."

Etc, etc,

dude, Melo is 37 and was out of basketball for a while . Schroeder is 27 and was coming off a season in OKC where he was just under All Star caliber. Schroeder is still a strong defender while Melo couldnt guard a one legged man.

Melo is going to be a nice addition if he can keep his revival going and hit some open 3's he is sure to get- but its no contest as to who is the better NBA player at this point.
Ohh I never said Melo was better, just he is their 4th option now and after their 4th option it doesn't bode well for them but the key is going to be health for them

I do like the Hield fit better as well but not sure he is a great defender and Schroder seemed lost on this team last year. No guarantee Shroeder comes back though if you make the Hield trade and they would still have to be signing cheap guys, maybe they sign Caruso back then....who knows.

wiggy's greatest hits- super duper homer version


-LeBron's legacy is ruined because he didn't get an injured Lakers squad to the playoff his first year in L.A.

-when LeBron joined the Lakers, he's no longer elite because he has too many miles

-the Cavs will turn things around before the Heat


then there's this gem- the greatest shooter the league has ever seen is the most overrated MVP of all time

Theres a reason why you’re called one-nut
Seems like there was....but not sure it has to do with calling him out for things he may not have said (Cannot say I recall him ever saying Curry sucked).

No.

Because it is the process that we are talking about. Not the result.

And the way those teams achieved those records couldn’t have been more different.

Which again, is what we are talking about.
we are also talking about you not getting IF Cavs receive what they want for Sexton maybe they pull off a deal? Philly doesn't trade MCW just to trade him.

Other than that both teams wanted to lose and get high picks.....and did. Well, Philly had a bit more luck in the lottery.

That is definitely true with most NFL contracts.

I do think the QB position is again different though

Yes, non-guarantees do give the franchise an out of the player collapses.

But, he would have to be pretty bad for that to happen toward the end of a multi-year deal.

The QB position really requires an all in investment from the franchise
was this in the right thread?

Shocker. My point is crystal clear to everyone except you and DT. You are just doing your normal shtick to avoid admitting the obvious that the didn’t get to where they are today by design in the way that Philly did.

One of those 1s for the 6ers was because they traded up to get it.

That doesn’t count as “getting lucky”

The Cavs sure know a thing or two about that though.
You thought they figured they'd win a lot with 3 young players, 2 of which were guards? No chance players sat out longer with injuries than needed because wins were not needed.
