The 2023-2024 NBA Season

Their issue is their two guards more than anything from that standpoint imo. Hart was killing you guys lol

But Okoro at the 4 will cost you boards too.

Yeah theie guards especially Garland can’t rebound or box out. I think Strus will help but Mobley needs to take a step forward. I just don’t think it is sustainable. A huge weakness

 

[Shanemansj13]

Dwight is also single as well

With 9 kids…that we know of

I'm not opposed to ironic names.

like if Scoot was built like Kenny Lofton jr

Sure, like 'Tiny' Lister (Deebo)

Who apparently was a real sweet guy in real life. RIP.

But he was super nice, right? I heard he was a teddy bear of a man.

especially with JA out.

Good win. Brooklyn is a pretty decent team.

Encouraging to see Okoro shoot well in Game 1. Obviously a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG way to go.

Gotta say - I was skeptical on Strus but 27 pts, 12 boards in game 1 is a good early sign.

Might be a good replacement for Mitchell next year

Strus can play. Not just some 3 pt specialist. I know you didn't like him because he was a heat player but he is a solid player

He likes him plenty now of course

I just thought 4 years 63 million might be an overpay for a guy who is already 27 with a limited track record that has never been a full time starter that shot 35% from 3 last year.

 

[WiggyRuss]

they definitely were paying him for what they hoped he might become over what he previously was- which is sometimes a good way to get yourself in trouble---- but they no doubt desperately needed a shooter.

Playing with Mitchell and Garland he should get some good opportunities one would think.

 

[WiggyRuss]

I hope that Strus can handle himself defensively. I think optimally he is a 2--- at 6' 5" he might be a little undersized at the 3. Having Mobley and JA helps that of course- but being the starting 3 on this team is a lot of responsibility.

I was very impressed with his rebounding tonight- which is something they need from 3.

Also it's a one way ratchet up every year. In a couple years that number will seem reasonable

what is up with Klay's contract negotiations?

And even more when it's just Garland

 

[bksballer89]

Really like Lively

 

[msgkings322]

There it is, I knew you'd be mad lol

I think he leaves after this year to be honest.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Lively could be exactly what Dallas needs this year
