    When you play against superior talent
    you muddy the game up

    NBAers need to start throwing some bows

    of the 7 top scoring americans in the NBA this season the team has 4 of them. Doesn't really seem like the C or D team. Probably more the B team if you look at the whole team.

    both fiba and nba should decrease number of fouls allowed to, say 3 per player... the fouls are ruining the game

    You sound like an idiot that can't admit to what they are saying is hyperbole. The roster as a whole is not the C or D team.

    Lol, why are u triggered? There’s no hyperbole at all. If u believe this roster is the actual B team then cool, do u. I don’t, it’s the C or D team.

    Because in a way you are saying there are 15 American players or so that you would want that would push most of these players out. Which does not exist.

    Where is Steph, Kyrie, Harden, CP3, Paul George, AD, Lebron, Jimmy Butler, etc? Not there for various reasons. The US is sending out the C squad to win gold. If you’re impressed with this USA roster and think it’s the B team, then that’s u.

    Is that trade extremely lopsided? I figured it was very desirable to get rid of Love. Then get one of the best if not best value contracts with a few late 1st rounders. You’re probably right though.

    I would never give up the 3rd overall pick to get rid of Love…the 23rd and 24th overall pick aren’t that valuable, especially for a team as bad as the Cavs, and EG has negative value

    If we had the 3rd pick, would u want to trade it to get rid of John Wall and get 2 picks in the 20’s and 32 yo, injury prone EG who is still owed 38 mil and Christian Wood in return? I’d be livid if we did that.

    I would consider it because you get rid of that contract. And they have been awful for 5 years running.
    Where as the Rockets have been awful for one year. If the Rockets sucked for five years straight getting rid of Love and getting a 20/10 player and perhaps a good role player with two picks in a row. It would probably take another pick too and maybe that still wouldn’t be enough.
