Might as well resign shaq who is better

I agree Shaq is a much better defender, but Bradley is a better 2-way player. He was coming back from injury last season, and I expect improvements from Bradley. I'd be happy with either though next to Coby.

There was a stat on the GB from a clippers fan showing Bradley was one of the worst offensive players in the league

It's a good move but wouldn't be surprised if Timberwolves matched it. It's good value and they'd remain bellow luxury tax.

On a more general note, I hope they manage to keep their pick this season, and then be good the next one - I'd hate to see Boston get a high pick from them.

I think the wolves match this. He's young and has done well when given the minutes. He was the pg I wanted the bulls to target but sato is okay too.

Yep, pretty underrared guy imo.
Tyus would be more aligned with the rest of the team considering age and would therefore possibly be better play long term, even as a trade asset down the road potentially, but on the other hand Satoransky offers vet presence among guards which is needed at the moment, and has experience and good results playing alongside Beal, who is similar to LaVine on offense, and could help him improve further hopefully.

If wolves match, maybe it creates a demand for dunn from the grizzlies?

Sato also has better raw+advanced stats and is bigger, so there's that.

Bucks sign Giannis's brother....

I said the Bulls should have done this a couple days ago

Those things really don't matter. If Giannis is frustrated with the Bucks, he will move. If the Bucks are good, he will stay whether his brother is there or not.

The Bulls better focus on bigger things than Giannis's brother.

So Portis got about twice the money Jabari did. I don't see that much difference between the two. Bobby is the better 3 pt shooter and rebounder, Jabari a better ball handler/creator and passer. Both are bad defenders.

Bobby has twice as many healthy ACL's?

Jabari might look athletic even after the ACL injury. But, it seems to have played a part in his regression. We need to see how Klay bounces back. We think Lavine is doing fine but he has not still put together a full season of good basketball either.

Dresden · Post #711 » by **Dresden** » Mon Jul 8, 2019 10:28 pm

They are pretty close statistically across the board. Bobby has a better 3 pt %, Jabari better overall fg. Bobby is a bigger body, and younger and healthier. Jabari had the better PER and TS%.

How much of that money is going towards defense?

Considering he plays none and the NBA apparently doesn't pay players for that...I would estimate exactly $0.

Better at what exactly?

FO? Nope. Coach? Nope. Starting 5? Nope.
The Clippers have the superior coach, they are younger, more versatile and better constructed than the Lakers.

The rivalry will be fun to watch.

How so? Watching nationally televised blowouts is never a good thing.

Those games will be touch. 2 superstars vs 2 superstars, LA rivalry and the Clips out to prove they are the team to beat in LA.

Signed with the Lakers.

I want GarPax to bring back Noah and Thabo. There's no way in hell Hutchinson should be considered a rotation player. Dude suck long ways.

What about Lance Stephenson on a 1 year ?

LOL....Portis was correct. KD's mind was already made up.

KD never even met with the Nets front office.

Some ppl are living in the old league.
Stamina is the new defense.
Teams drop 30 point quarters with regularity so you have to be able to keep up
