Agreed I've always compared him to Pau Gasol Pau's first 6 years in MEM (01-07) were as totally meaningless as Sabonis' in OKC/IND (16-22) 1 or 2 All-Star years and ZERO playoff impact Pau's entire career changed moving to the Lakers As you mentioned, he found the perfect situation to fully utilize his abilities while minimizing his liabilities Kobe was the alpha to take all the big shots, create looks for others, and carry the pressure of being 'The Man' on a contender Bynum was the physical big to bang inside and protect the rim Gasol's all-around contributions flourished, and he was appreciated for what he was, rather than knocked for what he wasn't I see Sabonis as the exact same guy SAC is definitely not the same situation as those Lakers, so I'm not predicting the Kings to suddenly make the Finals with him I do hope he can eventually land somewhere that allows his all-around game to be fully appreciated, as I really do enjoy watching him play Also, I think this is the best role for Sengun as well If Green can become our alpha on OFF, and we draft a second star in June to anchor our DEF, I believe Sengun is perfectly suited as an all-round, 2-way third star on a contending trio down the line
Delusional laker fans have got dame to the lakers trending for the past 2 hours. Have to be one of the most idiotic fanbases in pro sports.
Shams tweet was a couple hours ago,, did you read Kelly Iko from the Athletic in those tweets? [ posted 7 hours ago] Wood x P.J. Washington and Bouknight (potential) Bouknight has been clashing with Borrego lately publicly. Maybe where smoke, there is fire?
Rockets have so many guards that I'm thinking Bouknight is being pushed by Hornets and Rockets to third team. I would imagine. Hornets probably want Mathews but we give them Nwaba or Armoni Brooks.
It’s 2022 and posting/falling for fake tweets from fake unverified accounts is still a thing ? Whenever someone post a tweet the first thing my eyes glance to is the blue check, then I read the tweet.
I love PJ Washington. Great defender solid shooter with length. Something this team sorely needs. I would trade Wood for him straight up. I don't even need a first round pick or bouknight. But if we are getting all 3, how has Stone not made the trade already.
maybe its cuz we don't have space to accept three players on our roster? perhaps they are trying to trade some of our other players for expirings to cut before making this trade?
The worst season in Rockets history had the following starters for majority of season: Wall - age 31 Dipo - age 28 EGo - age 32 House - age 27 Sterling - age 25 Olynyk - age 29 Wood - age 25 Other prominent members on roster that may have also started include Boogie (30), KPJ (20), Nwaba (28), BMac (27), Tate (25), KJ (19). Not even counting Harden (age 31). That is far from the youngest starting unit or even rotation in NBA history. And 2010 Thunder best 5 (average age 23) that went to Finals were younger than our starting 5 THIS SEASON (average age 25). KPJ (21) vs Brodie (23) Green (19) vs Harden (22) EGo (33) vs Thabo (25) Tate (26) vs Durant (23) Wood (26) vs Ibaka (22) Even if you replace EGo with Mathews, average age is still 23.4.
took a nap and had a dream that Wood was off the team…woke up excited and happy as hell this trade deadline like Christmas Eve for me
