Ha ha. Well, there's that to overcome.

I couldn't stand his personality but part of that personality was to become like Jordan, which included developing a post game early in his career because that was a big part of Jordan's late career game.

Both Lakers and Warriors fan bases would be upset if he joined the Warriors now.

Remember during the playoffs last year, I think he urged on the Thunder when they were up 3-1 on the Warriors. Then he worked with Kahwi this past offseason, probably because he wants to see Spurs beat the Warriors.

**** his rapist ass.

All right, we got Klay Thompson who has a post up game. I'd just like to see it more often, especially when his shots aren't falling. I'm positive it would help him make plays, get more assists and rebounds. Then I'd be back looking for a big man.

Mylie10 · Post #85 » by **Mylie10** » Fri Nov 25, 2016 6:26 pm

Klay made some really sweet created plays and passes the last few games. I don't think I'd go away from all of the passing in recent games to clear a side for Klay post ups.

I do like Klay mid range game, and he can post up smaller guys, but so can KD. In a recent matchup KD was abusing smaller guys in the post. That's where I'd look before I push for Klay post ups.

It's a nice feature to have in the arsenal though, and there will be certain games and certain matchups where that will be valuable.

Yeah, the Ws can clear a side but that's not their style. That was Mark Jackson. Klay can just run it during a play. I notice he does it when he's got his shot working. To change things up from taking a 3, he drives the lane while in the flow. Klay's not a banger, but he can drive the lane and turn and fade away, take a mid-range J or go for a layup. Some guys just go into it like Melo after an offensive rebound. He's more back to the basket and banger. It would be to fool teams after the Ws set up their flex. A lot of times, they toss the ball to Klay coming off a screen for the shot. It's no wonder he doesn't get a lot of rebounds, but when his shot is on then he does to change things up and he makes passes, too.

Steph's got a post up game, but it's not traditional. He does it with his magic dribbling and then he goes for a layup, stop and pop or a mid-range J. It's all within the flow. He does it whether his shot is on or not.

Isaiah Austin is cleared to play. Santa Cruz invite? I'd be much more excited with our bench if we had this kid and Damian Jones sitting at the end rather than McAdoo and Varejoa.

Why the heck not. Couldn't hurt to see what the kid has got. Certainly more potential than McAdoo who looks like the exact same player after three years.

Austin more likely to go somewhere that has a clear path to playing time over a place where he can win

Mylie10 · Post #90 » by **Mylie10** » Fri Dec 2, 2016 2:58 am

Next season Damien Jones may just be the only center remaining from this year's squad. Most likely Zaza goes for more money or retires. MgGee probably gets a big payday over what he making now and the Warriors won't be able to afford him.

If Austin were to go to Santa Cruz for this season and play as much as he wants, then he could possibly be in the mix next season with us versus some loser team.

I would definitely look into it.

Taj Gibson will be a free agent next year. He has stated he would like to stay in Chicago and he is getting a little long in the tooth at 32 but I have always liked his game and the idea of him playing with Draymond and KD in the front court makes me smile. I think Zaza is on a one year deal if I remember correctly, I wonder if there is a way to clear room for him to help groom Damian Jones?

I looked into the perimeter defense vs interior defense and for the Ws. It's prolly the interior defense. I couldn't pull up stats from nba.com to show this so can't make a case for it. The basic question is from where are the Ws being scored upon most. So if it's more interior D that Ws need, then how about D-Mo? He just became an unrestricted FA. He's old school, hard-nosed, back-to-the-basket type of player. The question is can he fit into the Ws flow offense and can he pass the Ws physical? There's money considerations, too.

Can he fit the offense? Yes.

Can he pass the physical? Unknown.

Can we pay him? No. Somebody else will pay him much more than the minimum salary, which is all we can offer.

Can he play good interior defense, the crux of your comment? Not really. Passable, but not good.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to get him and think he'd fit, but the issue almost certainly is that we can't pay him anything competitive.

Let's grab free agents Matt Bonner and DeJuan Blair to steal San Antonio secrets.

How huch did Tom Robinson sign with LA for ?

could've been handy against TT

Thanasis Antetokounmpo from D-League?

Explosive, athletic, good frame. Develop him behind Andre as defensive stopper.

I'd rather work on him as a project instead of McAdoo. Then we can lure his lil bro later 8-)

The Rockets are ballin' right now. I think they've won 19 of their last 21 games.

Red Mamba just retired.

I know this isn't Kerr's style, but I would pick up one bulldog type of player specifically to hound LeBum.
Just a goon of a guy who sticks to him like glue until he gets annoyed af.

Why would you ever want this 3 time loser on the team? I don't get it.
