2022 NBA Offseason thread

Wiggy said his career is over and he can't improve

That settles it then. The Warriors should just trade him to the Heat for whatever Riley feels like sending them.

Lol the athleticism of bigs these days and versatility is a definite change from the bruisers of the past...

Absolutely spot on.

Guys like Gobert will become situational, at best.

You have to be able to guard in space, while being at least a lob threat, like Bam...

* Bam is more than a lob threat *

Be a point Center with range, like Joker....

Or, be such a savage on the block, with range and elite defense, like Embiid that you just can't be ignored.

A guy with zero offense, with cement feet on the perimeter, should not be a max player.

Gmafb.

He just turned 21.

 

[Black Adam]

Gmafb.

He just turned 21.

Details, details...

WiggityWack is NEVER wrong. I mean, we've ALL seen the evidence of this...

Shaq would be interesting in todays game...he's still Shaq, so he would be a monster and no one is stopping him in the paint.

But he would struggle more defensively against many of todays bigs.

I was answering questions, trying to explain what the article said about it and trying to clarify for a couple of folks who, like yourself, jumped to the ''Lakers fans always'' narrative.



If I shut down everyone who made outlandish statements etc. There wouldn't be many left posting. lol

I'm not looking to shut down anything. The folks who don't know better can learn, the ones who don't learn provide entertainment by getting clowned. It's how it's always worked.

Ok.

This is semantical. We are talking about 2 different things.

You are talking about the OP who originally posts the link on the board.

What I am talking about is the Laker fans who talk about these ludicrous ideas like they could actually happen.

I don’t care who originally posted it.

People who talk about one of these joke trade ideas like they are real deserve to be clowned.

And yes, I see that with Laker fans more than anybody else.

So no need to defend your people, because you know that is true. And that goes back many years.

 

[The Q]

His floor is Myles Turner.

I expect him to be well above his floor.

That’s a really high floor. Too high

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Gmafb.

He just turned 21.

Wiseman per rookie year 13.1
Greg Oden 18.3

Ruh roh

 

[tlance]

It's funny because they both obsess about the NBA as much as we do so it's not like they are casuals that don't know the game. They just start with their feelings about a team/player then make their takes from that instead of being objective.

Cane may obsess, so I can’t call him a casual.

But he really doesn’t understand how the game is actually played. Like not at all.

He knows enough to spew a few stats and come up with some original opinions, but his logic is always flawed because he doesn’t really understand the game he is watching.

Brings us to Drummond is a FA.

Injuries can derail anyone.

Oden was actually pretty darn good for awhile when healthy enough to play.

 

[msgkings322]

Greg Oden 18.3

Well yeah, if his knee don't get right he's Oden 2.0

But apparently it's good as of now

I said he might be a wealthy mans Nerleans Noel. role player- rim runner, rebounder. absolutely nothing special.

 

[WiggyRuss]

speaking of someone special....


that is a 6' 7" athletic freak short stop right there. I believe he made his major league debut tonight.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Are they supposed to be well known or something?

A new boy band maybe?

Let's see...

Boston is best known for playing with the Ball Bros.

Preston is best known for looking like the Ball Bros.

So, you aren't far off.....lol

You didn't say MIGHT anything. You said he was a bust.

 

[bksballer89]

facts

 

[WiggyRuss]

You didn't say MIGHT anything. You said he was a bust.

for the #2 pick for sure-- he will be a rim running role player. he doesnt have the head for much more.

 

[tlance]

You didn't say MIGHT anything. You said he was a bust.

And said he had very little trade value summer after his rookie year.

I was going to ask if you ever get tired of being wrong but the answer is clear.

Have you ever gotten a take right? Totally serious here. Other than fading Whiteside I can't think of a single thing you said like this that turned out to be on the money.
