Guess again!

The NBA wants us to stew in this cesspool of a political environment that we have created.

He speaks the truth

The inevitable Russ deal needs to be for a few bench guys.

 

[logic]

Lakers have a good starting lineup- but man- i dont think they have 1 guy I would feel good relying on coming off the bench.

Lakers have LeBron and Davis. Everyone else is average (and LeBron ain't what he used to be).

Hoping the Thunder can keep it up this defense, should only get better with Hartenstein.

That AJ Green kid needs more playing time. Kid made 7 3’s. 30 footers and a halfcourt shot lol

MIL shot 50% from 3 and Cavs got outrebounded by 12. Good to pull out a victory

Yep. could say never should have been so difficult, but teams let down their guard some in games like this......but at least we pulled it out.

Yeah, their bench isn't great, but it's better than what they've shown so far. They are running a different offense than they've been running previously. They're running it through AD instead of Lebron, which is the right move, imo...but that's new for everyone, including AD and Lebron.

I think JJ is still getting his rotations figured out as well.

Hopefully they can get Vanderbilt and Wood back pretty soon, that will help some. But if they truly want to contend, they're likely going to have to try to make some kind of move around the trade deadline or sooner. They need a shooter, or a big who can work in the paint, preferably one of each.

What is his market value i wonder

 

[shopson67]

Don't some of those numbers reflect having shitty receivers lately? Too much a team sport to just look at rings or even numbers. His skill set combination is GOAT

The WR have been window dressing with Kelce being the main target for quite some time now. That reversed a bit with the emergence of Rice this year, but has since reverted. If anything he has had better WRs this year, if only briefly.

They're still missing a few due to injuries, notably Vando (and Wood). Koloko will join the rotation at some point too (assuming he gets signed to the regular roster once a trade opens a roster spot). Christie and Knecht haven't started the season strong, but it's only been 2 weeks.

Just imagine if they had Hollywood, Rice and Worthy all clicking.

It's also an easy way to semi-tank...

Worthy has been what I expected him to be this year, a gadget player with the occasional big play (he just started hot with a few of them in game 1). Rice is the real missing piece right now, but that could extend well into next year with his pending legal troubles. Hollywood is a free agent this winter and is a 2 or 3 at best, even though he shows flashes of being more. Hopkins may have pushed him onto another team next year.

Both are free agents and could be brought back since brown isn’t getting more money next year

 

[Shanemansj13]

I thought this was NBA thread

 

[Shanemansj13]

What a joke. Is it really a 6th man award if he is playing starter minutes. Hield and Levert, for example, have far better per 36 numbers, they just play less minutes

Fuck them picks. Trade everyone and everything not named Lebron and AD. Cannot keep wasting away good AD and Lebron years. Pelinka did a terrible job managing this team to where he couldn't even add to it this summer. A guy like Tyus Jones would have been perfect.
