2021 NBA regular season thread

Originally I did. But then I thought that's too greedy.

Your restraint is admirable.

I think zion has the potential to be a top 10 player in the league. I'm just not sold on Ingram. He's a good player, and maybe he can improve, but I don't think he can be the 2nd best player on a great team(top 6ish or so).

Also, I don't think the FO has done a good job either of what they've done after the AD trade. Trading away Deandre Hunter for NAW and Hayes, looks to be pretty bad at the moment.

Cannot say I know the circumstances on why he left, but maybe should have kept Randle, as well, if he was willing.

 

[dtgold88]

right.

literally any team could have had him. The CAvs got a 2nd round pick that will likely never transfer for him.

They def. werent the only ones.

Right...an unprotected 2nd would have gotten it done for anyone who wanted him.

 

[dtgold88]

Hence my thread about not rooting for your team to lose.

Not as important as it used to be in order to get top pick or top 2, but don't forget the further down you start (meaning fewer chances), the further you could fall.

 

[dtgold88]

Nope, laughing at the Cavs who let him go without trying to work it out.

OK...but kind of telling no one wanted him. ruins your narrative, though, I get it.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Nobody wanted him but Houston did.....can't make this shit up.

 

[dtgold88]

he is just trying to distract from the fact the Raiders once again shit their pants in the NFL draft. lol.

they took a guy at 17 that most thought would be a late 2nd rounder. why not just trade down?

unreal.

Will say in their defense, unlike the NBA, cannot really go by the mocks or projections in the NFL. Actual GMs don't care at all what fake GMs think in the NFL. Isn't to say they made the right call, but if they love a guy you cannot risk losing him because some guy who has never run a draft says he's a 2nd rounder.

Have to say this was a different way to watch a draft for our team. So relaxing. Not really hoping a certain player falls sweating through the picks before ours. Certainly helped the 3 picks prior were OT, RB, RB.

Who said no one wanted him? Said entire league could have had him (and only a tanking team made the move). Exact quote was "no team with plans to do anything but tank this year wanted him." Post 13,248

you know I've always said just ask if you ever need help with comprehension of a post. Meant it.

even the #1 overall spot in the lotto has a less than 50% chance at a top 3 pick.

the odds are definitely much much more condensed then they used to be.

Definitely not as easy as it once was to get the top pick or top 3.......however, also important is not falling down too far. would hate to have 6-7th best odds and drop to 8-9.

Never read your post with Wiggy because I wasn't involved in it and don't care what you and your idol jibber jabber about. You quoted me so I responded......pay attention.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Have to remember he is only 6'7 and that's probably generous. Most sf and pf are taller

Yep.

I did quote you. Here is the original and it's still true.......

"Shouldn't you LOL at the rest of the league who could have had him?"

But as I said, when I reply to you, I'll try to remember to talk as though you are a 4 year old and go into more detail when I explain things. You can have the last word on this topic.

[bksballer89]

thought 6'6", not that it's all that much difference...

yea i think in reality he is 6'6 but listed as 6'7 to make him seem taller

 

[bksballer89]

Anyone read Haynes article on Dame? Got to think Dame is gone by next summer
