    Good deal for OKC. If Paul George doesn't bail they're gonna be really good.

    I would take any of those 3 at PF over Patterson.

    Also, you talk about him guarding Lebron....well the Cavs swept the Raptors and Lebron averaged 36 points per game, he basically couldn't miss so if they had Patterson guarding him maybe they shouldn't have. Patterson's 2 points per game in that series really made up for it though.

    One man's stupidity is another man's success in the NBA. Anyway, it's about time for the Brooklyn Nets to offer Roberson the max.

    They had to give up Shabazz to get Gibson.

    Still not enough shooting and literally no bench. Repeat of last year's OKC team. They have a better starting 5 than OKC last year but somehow weaker bench. Thibs is going to run his starters to the ground by Feb.

    6th seed at best.

    League average in 3 point shooting is around 35%.

    Also none of them take many threes to begin with. Shooting 35-36% on less than 4 3's per game isn't going to work well against teams with players that shoot just as well but double if not triple that amount of 3's

    LOL if that metric meant anything then he'd have been a starter for them.

    LOL we are a better organization with class and a better culture than that!


    But then again we did that with gordon lol. It wasnt by design though. I think they did think he would be the starting 2 guard next to harden at point when they signed him

    They all shoot over three three-pointers per game. Now that Ricky Rubio is gone they can't just play tight on all the shooters and sag off on rubio to double/help. Expect everyone to get more open looks into even more three-pointers.

    Thibs is A good coach. They still have time to add to their bench, but the Rockets bench isn't much better. And neither is the thunder bench
