NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

[DJ Fieri]

The unders in both the 6pm games are looking good so far.

 

[bksballer89]

Can you imagine courting Watson and then having to settle for Winston?

Yikes.

Winston was 4-2 last year. He did just fine with the Saints. He isn't Watson but with the defense they have, the saints can win with the version of Winston they got last year especially since he will have more weapons this time around

 

[DJ Fieri]

Did Free agency not start on March 16th? It is March 25th.

And most of the best players are gone too....

 

[bksballer89]

I mean they weren't wining and dining Watson or anything....LOL.

You can't possibly be this dumb. The point of restructuring contracts is to get under the cap without having to release players.

Them trying to get Watson had nothing to do with the reason why they had to restructure contracts to get below the cap

 

[bksballer89]

And most of the best players are gone too....

There are still several quality players available. They were never trying to sign any of the top free agents

 

[DJ Fieri]

There's one about 5 minutes from me. My wife and son tease me because I get overwhelmed by all of the choices and just end up getting a shake any time we go.lol

Coldstone rocks.

A lot.

 

[tlance]

Tlance brought it up.

Stop it.

I said that could be his floor. As in the worst possible outcome.

I didn’t say that is who he projected to be.

 

[tlance]

Well it’s fn stupid, Holmgren is elite defensively already

From what I watched yesterday he most definitely is not elite defensively.

Maybe he can block shots because he is 7 feet, but it looked pretty easy to go right through his chest and get and And 1 last night.

 

[tlance]

@tlance what do you think about Malik Willis?

Going to talk to my guy soon.

Maybe this weekend.

Report back.

He’s damn sure not Dunleavy

Get his thoughts on Picket too. Seems like the Saints are really considering him

 

[tlance]

We will see.

You act like Dunleavy was a scrub. He wasn’t.

Played 15 years with a career scoring average over 11 points a game.

Not trying to make an exact comp, just saying that it is no lock Holmgren is going to be a star.

And it isn’t.

I never said he was, just seems like a weird comparison. They don’t even play the same position.

2 tall skinny white guys who are super skilled.

What position Holmgren played in college is irrelevant. He has the skill set to play 3/4 in the NBA. Dunleavy was a 3 and played some small ball 4

Dunleavy was a versatile player who could score, rebound, and pass.

Everybody acting like he was Brian Scalabrine....LOL.

Don't think it is fair to judge Chet on 2 games in the tournament and from what I saw in the 2nd half, he played really well

Chet will be a bust if he is close to being a Mike Dunleavy type of player
