    I have been following Parker since Duke and I was big on him coming out but he is the definition of washed.

    He has multiple chances on multiple teams there is no reason to think the light is gonna suddenly go on, it does not matter if he is 26 and some random highlights are no reason to think otherwise.

    I don't understand why you start pumping up random dudes it makes it hard to take give much credence to the other guys you talk about.

    I agree on taking fliers but not on guys who have been given actual multiple chances in good situations.

    Serious question here regarding talent if we keep our pick, along with our other late rounders.

    Would you prefer:

    Cade & 1 of Kai Jones/Isiah Jackson

    Or

    Mobley & 1 of Davion Mitchell/Chris Duarte

    Im not a massive College ball guy.. however. Im watching this Baylor/Villanova game and ive seen a few of his highlights and im all in on Davion Mitchell. He just seems like a pitbull.

    I know we've been all about "Fade for Cade" but i think im more excited about a Mobley/Wood pairing..

    Edit: its early.. mixed up Mobley and Kuminga :/

    You know him better than me then but I see no harm in bringing in young long cheap former lottery talent for a look.

    I think you are taking this suggestion as more than it is.

    Just give the championship to the Nets. If KD, Kyrie and Harden stay healthy, nobody is beating them, especially with the likes of Blake and LA in their team. LA may not be as good as he was, but he's still a good center. A starting lineup of Harden, Kyrie, KD, Blake and LA can kill you on the offense. All those guys can score 15 to 20 points on any given night. KD, Kyrie and Harden can score 25 plus points on most nights.

    Far too strong. If anyone deserves a team like this... it's Harden. But knowing his luck, most of his team won't stay healthy during the playoffs.

    BUT THAT SOURCE LOOKS SO RELIABLE!

    Ain't nobody starting Blake in the year 2021. I am sure he can be something of an offensive weapon off the bench in a very limited role, but he's just awful. He's not at all like LaMarcus, who though more limited than in the past, was never truly dependent on his athleticism so is still somewhat effective at his strengths.

    Never underestimate the Harden effect.

    He makes everyone better.

    I can see us buying it Bradley. He isn't going to play here and Tilman is all about saving money.

    And what makes you certain more fans will come to TheToyShop than this year? Or did you mean as visitors where the Laughees meet the Road?

    Big diff tween’n’twixt Rox and Thunder is that this town is appealing and OKC can only draft or trade or sign someone at way over value.

    Yes sign him. For gosh sakes.. i am still confused as to why people want Tate to start. He is a good defensive player but his shooting from 3 is just horrendous. He's also already 25 years old and 6'4. Porter can at least still shoot.

    LA is no longer a good center and if you started a lineup with Blake and LA in it you would get killed on offense.

    You say he isn't good, but he isn't bad. He's a much better option than Jordan is. Blake isn't going to be starting, but even is capable of scoring 15 a night just off 20 minutes. Besides, they can just rotate minutes between Claxton, Green, Blake and LA for the 4 and 5 position.

    The main thing they have now is decent depth. As long as Harden, KD and Kyrie stay healthy, no team is beating them.

    But Harden will never win a championship because he is a choker.......says LeBron before teaming up with D-Wade/Bosh/Kyrie/K-Love/AD and
    Durant before he joined Curry/Draymond/Klay.
