Another jaylin williams is in the draft this year....okc should draft him @thunderc

Wouldn’t surprise me, we will have Kenrich Williams back in the mix next year as well

Unfocused, sloppy, and AD off his game. D-Lo not doing much, blechh. As mentioned before, got home court and settled for the split.

Russell has been ass in the playoffs......same as his career.

Something they need to think about.....

So long term him then?

 

[msgkings322]

What?

Traditional 4s are “bigs” too.

You don’t have to be a 5 to be a big.

Sabonis is a big by any definition.

I mean, he's not a guard or a wing so he's a big

 

[fightinfunbags]

In fairness to me, it’s 4/20 and I’m high.

That being said… I responded to dominant big. Then I started talking about size. I just don’t see him as that kind of player. He’s a point forward but in today’s NBA that guy is going to be more prevalently employed because of the success of Joker and now Sabonis the way they’re using him. He was a 4 for the Pacers

My push back was on dominant big. Right now I think there’s just one. But for me dominant bigs are Kareem, Karl Malone, Ewing, Mourning, Hakeem, Wilt, Moses Malone, Shaq and I’m sorry if Im forgetting people. I think when Embiid is done he’s in that group. That’s a dominant Big for me. So I’m old and have to adjust to these young whipper snappers and their new fangled ways

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I'm just gonna leave this here......so let the chips fall where they may.

Won’t be unemployed long. Very inventive defensive coach. He’s a scape goat for an organization that thought they could win with an entire roster of 6’7 - 6’8’’ wing types.

Would love to see him in Detroit.

Ime could be hittin that Canadian trim sometime soon.

@tlance do you like 6’7 and 6’8’’ athletic wings? Because they’re coming your way soon.

Watch them go get Udoka now.

Could have another job in the next 5 min if he wanted.

Might bring one with him.

Sounds like a blow up/ rebuild around Scottie 2 Hottie.

Especially if Orlando hits FVV with the massive overpay.

 

[thunderc]

Yeah I bet he takes a year off, this has to be mutual because he was signalling he might be out.

 

[Iggloo]

Where will Nick Nurse beg for FTs next?

Masai & Co.'s decision making since the Covid shortened year has been mind-boggling, from the guys they went out and got to the guys on expiring deals they kept instead of trading for assets. Nurse deserves a good team to coach again, glad he's getting the chance to find that.

Raps can go get prime Phil Jackson, it won't make a lick of difference. They need massive roster surgery and most of the assets they could've used to do that are about to walk for free. Good luck lol

@tlance do you like 6’7 and 6’8’’ athletic wings? Because they’re coming your way soon.

Why is this a yearly thing lol

Should change the team name to the Bills.

Streets have been saying for awhile now he wanted out. Streets have also been saying he could be eyeing Houston. I guess he likes strip clubs
