[The Q]

Can I just submit this as my application?

Whatever "it" is the Warriors just do not have it this year.

7 point play for Utah bc of LeVert loses the game lol

 

[wildturkey]

Ok .

Lakers pistons

Russ, 1 first, 3 seconds

for

bog
Burks
Noel


THEN

Nunn, Jones, a first and 3 seconds for Turner


That gives you Bev, Burks, Reaves and Dennis all for the backcourt

Lebron, Bog, Christie, Brow as the forwards

Turner and Bryant your main 2 centers.

that's pretty freaking workable.

Can you even trade that many 2nds? Other than that, if they could pull something like that off, they better run to get it done.

Ok, @DJ

You called it.

But, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

* petty as fuck, dying a slow painful death admitting that I was wrong*

About?

Pretty good for teams blowing leads in empty gyms.

Yep, everyone plays better when they're constantly on the road and can't even venture into public.

Additionally, my comment was about his defense and less about the playoffs. I cited the playoffs because in the playoffs teams hunt weaknesses and in every series he ever plays in the rest of his life, Jokic is going to be the focal point of the opposition’s attack.

Point disproven, goalposts shifted.

 

[shopson67]

Aren't heat & hell kind of synonymous anyway?

or Florida and hell?

Unless something has changed, she isn't.

Who is though? She is governor and CEO, and there is no president of BO, just vice (Pelinka). Pelinka clearly isn't working autonomously.

Saw an interesting trade suggestion for the Lakers...Alec Burks as a "discount Buddy Hield". Don't know if he plays defense...but he can shoot.

Hield doesn't play defense either, is twice as expensive and Burks has only a team option left for next year. Decent shout...

I’d rather do that for oubre as the lakers

Ymmv

Doesn't work salary wise. Oubre makes twice as much as Reddish.

I’m sorry that you can’t read effectively. I’ll do a better job for you next time.

Iirc the lakers do have 6 seconds left to deal in their bank of picks

This goes back to my point where they need to use their cash to buy picks


They spent over 2m to buy Christie

If they made these trades, they probably need to try that like twice a year now moving forward

I think adding Jones would make it work.

But that’s just off the top of my head

Heat went 40/40 at the FT line last night. 39/39 was the former record set by the Jazz in the 80’s and Pistons in the 50’s.

Major nitpick: Salaries don't work in the Pacers trade. Need to swap Bev for Nunn.

Minor nitpicks: Christie is a SG, Nunn would still be relied upon as the backup PG.

It would need to be Bev straight up.

Yes you are right. It’s Bev and Jones

Christie would have to guard some 3s doing this deal

How dare I read a critique about defense to be about defense, what was I thinking?
