If the bulk of offensive responsibility is on our youngsters next year, we will have a bottom 5 offense. Same is true on defense. I'm not down on...
That is not the case. A team loses the NT-MLE, BAE, trade exceptions, and potential disabled player exceptions if they have more cap space than...
Agree with a lot of this but you got one part wrong. Rockets would be operating as a cap space team so they don’t get to use the NT-MLE (that’s...
Anybody saying Scoot is small / undersized or that he’d not immediately be the alpha ball handler on this team is just giving away that they...
Sure it matters, just not nearly as much as how good your bigs are defensively. And we’re not talking about Trae or Kemba or Isaiah Thomas level...
Backcourt defense doesn’t matter thaaat much, especially outside the later stage of the playoffs. You can have a really good defense with 2...
If Harden comes on a max, you’d have $18-30M left over in space (depending on other moves) and then a $6M room exception to work with. You could...
We play against teams often resting players and playing at 80% effort who blow us out almost every game. How many truly competitive games this...
This isn't baseball. There's a salary floor that we'd be $50-60M below. If we don't sign FA's we pay out that money as bonuses to our current...
Why is it pointless? We don't have control of our picks for the next 3 years, so literally the only point of our team is to win games and create a...
I like KPJ and I think he will figure out how to be a legitimately valuable player one day, but it’s not going to be as a starting PG. Right...
Every player on the team is tradable in the right deal; I think KJ is an appealing asset to trade because he holds more value to the rest of the...
Not sure BKN has much of a choice though. They have basically zero real prospects on their roster. Claxton is a UFA after next season who they...
No from me on getting our 2024 pick back - we’re not in the same situation as Brooklyn. We’re full up on lottery-level prospects, they have zero....
I’ve been thinking of this too. You put it well - that 2024 pick is a top 5 pick if Brooklyn controls it and they are free to rebuild like they...
I don't disagree with you at all about Green and Jabari. I'm not saying one philosophy is right or wrong, just being descriptive about the current...
Easiest explanation is the simplest: our front office and coaching staff are lower on Sengun than his stats would indicate because the whole...
Defense is contextual, and there’s different ways to be bad (or good at it). Jalen is a bad defender because he is weak and gives little effort....
If Jabari can’t shoot, he’s not an NBA player simple as that. It’s not about development, he simply doesn’t have the other tools that you can’t...
