They say we need a player like LeBron who can 'get to the hole' with ease, who's also a good 'D player'. He does a lot of 'dribbling' tho. Anyway he gives a lot of 'facials' and hates 'getting stuffed'.

What is up with this?!

Thanks you for this! One of the funniest posts I've seen in a while.

I love this so much! I know it looks silly and all, but having someone on your team who is wiling to do ish like this just makes everyone else around him grind that much harder.

Lol, I love that gif. Imagine having an inbound guarded by Bebe and Caboclo now. You would not be able to get the ball in play. 15 feet of arms, would look like an octopus. Then you could have JV jumping around like that to go after anything that gets through!

Considering we haven't signed someone to backup JV we can assume he is going to get many more minutes this season compared to last.

The thing that isn't discussed nearly enough here is the fact that this tool ranked Knicks at 4th in the East and Pelicans at 3rd, above Thunder, in the West! Who cares that it's called "Winners and losers of NBA free agency", because this tells you everything:

So with summer league ending Monday and most of the wheeling and dealing pretty much done, here’s a very early look at how the conferences will be this season.

He actually thinks that Knicks will be better than us, Wizards, Bobcats, Hawks and the Heat.

7. Toronto Raptors: They pretty much stabilized in their main move of retaining Kyle Lowry. He had his best season in his contract year, which is always a concern. They added Lou Williams for depth shooting and have a deep bench with Greivis Vasquez and Patrick Patterson. The issue is whether the guards will yet involve Jonas Valanciunas, which they should as they have now been paid.

You have to watch a lot of Raptors to notice Jonas doesn't get a lot of touches in good position; but I think he has a point, everyone has gotten paid now, I think Jonas will get way more looks and touches. Expect him to breakout.

Even Charles Barkley and Casey, which I was surprised that he would give spec. numbers, said that Val should be expected to be around 13 points, 10+ rebounds.

English is supposed to be Smith's first language?? Could have fooled me. The editor must have been sleeping.

it's FA rankings..not NBA rankings. Retaining Carmelo was pretty big for the Knicks, even though they might be mediocre for a long time.

No way Indiana should be #3. Bulls at #2 is questionable. Toronto should probably be ahead of Hornets/Wizards just from re-signing our own guys..since Knicks were ranked that high because of Melo

These are definitely overall team rankings.

But this guy is a loon so I wouldn't take much of it seriously.

Pay the guards $50 every time they feed Jonas in the paint, and another $50 if he scores. $100 per during the first 10 games. Present the winnings in the locker room each night in cold hard cash in the local currency.

Yes I know they are millionaires. But don't underestimate the motivating power of $50... perhaps second only to donuts, and the possibility of more donuts.

Well he will be offered max for 5 years anyways. Maybe it will get him into the allstar game that way.

That's a good idea too.

$50,000 to every player on the team if Jonas makes the all-star game. That would even beat donuts. I wonder if you'd have to account for it under the cap...

Depends if it's the team or Jonas paying. :wizard:

wow..stay classy bro..why you call our guards douchey? what did they do to you?

seemed more like hating on the guards than showing JV love to me. And definitely showed no love to the Raps as a whole in those rankings.

Per of 16.15 with only 8 touches a game. Give him the same percentages with 16 touches and he's a 25 PER guy. Breakout this year.
