2021 NBA regular season thread

Green makes 31.8% of his 3's.....Nance 32.9%.

Marginally better and that's assuming Green doesn't get better as he gets older to extend his career.

Comparing career numbers are worthless...Nance has developed a nice jumpshot over the past couple seasons. Dray never did

Hey man stop reminding me! Like I've said in the past I was at that game. By the end of his career he was shell of his former self. Glad I got to see him play live several times (some at the original Boston Garden) in his prime.

I've always wondered if his career could have been extended if players then used load management....especially for someone like Bird who really could have used it. Maybe Daugherty, as well.

Daugherty is a Nascar announcer, surprised when I found that out.

Not sure that generation of players would have liked load management. They just didn't do stuff like that in the 80's. But I don't think there's any doubt his career would have been extended with some kind of management.

Diehard nascar fan. Think he was some kinda owner at one time too. Heard he wore # 43 with the Cavs because of Richard Petty.

The dubs done ducked up.

def should’ve taken Ball

if its relatively close-

take the perimeter player of a center

that should be NBa gospel at this point.

I hate a center going that high in the draft.

Philly is playing Denver with just 9 players available.

A usual rotation at least. Lost a lot of depth tho

Very thin.

Get really thin if they lose a player or 2 to injury.

Clown huh? Their merits as players can be argued but I’ll guarantee you one thing, Green would completely disappear in a game with Rodman in it. I mean other than his fascination with testicles.

You guarantee a lot of shit. It's just sports opinions, you're allowed to be wrong.

The two players are at least equally valuable to their teams.

 

[WiggyRuss]

The same people criticizing Green loved Haslem.....

SMH.

right- but its not like Haslem was ever making 24M a year and given the national accolodates Draymond has.

Draymond has a player option in 2023-2024 for 28M.

yikes.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Dray was/is an exceptional facilitator for a player of his ilk. Thats probably his best skill offensively.

Probably why the offense is running much better with him in it. Even without him scoring a whole lot.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Green can’t carry Rodman’s jock, im talking now at Rodmans age.

yah

to call Draymond Rodmanesque is a joke and a huge insult to Rodman.

Maybe Drew Goodenesque at this point is more appropriate?

Broken Down and Burnt to a Crip Ben Wallaceesque?

Kenny Thomasesque?

I will acknowledge the best call you made was the Warriors getting crippled by the luxury. You and I both agreed on that.

And I know had KD stayed on we may be talking a different animal but still

The Cavs have been doing that for a week lol

Yep...something that surprised me when I learned (as even as a fan I thought he was a lot older) was he played his last game at age 28.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Draymond is 30 years old. He is avergaging 2.8 points, 5.4 apg, 5.5 rpg

When Rodman was 30 years old he was still on the Pistons averaging OVER 18 rebounds per game and winning BACK TO BACK defensive player of the year awards at age 30 and 31.

dude.

i am glad you layed off the peyote until the weekend...

Think about what that team looks like with Klay...

Curry first option, Klay 2nd, Wiggins 3rd, Wiseman 4th. Dray doesn't need to score he directs all that. Rodman couldn't dream of providing that role

Add in Draymond being a little better on D and he's actually the better player.

You guys can't see it due to Warriors and Draymond hate and bias. And you're misremembering Rodman's value

Guessing this generation wasn't thrilled (OK..maybe Kawhi was) until they saw evidence as to why it might be a smart thing to do to lengthen a career (and make more money).

That is probably a convo winning comment
