Rather not see him flop around like a clown. IMO you should play with integrity.

What integrity is there when you're not doing everything you can to help your team? Flopping is effective and the NBA endorses it by continuing to reward it.

Cause that has worked out so well for Harden this year right?
still learning the game

A bitch move is a bitch move. I appreciate the fact that our team isn't a bunch of bitches.

These unwritten rules of sports are silly and outdated. If Giannis could sell contact, the Bucks would be better. Period.

That's not an unwritten rule.

Lakers in disarray. Can we steal AD from them on a 6 month contract?

Millsap would be an awesome buyout guy.

He's looked washed for two seasons to me. Would love any earlier version tho.

Pretty strange... There must be something going on behind the scenes.

It would be a lot more confusing if there was a handful of contenders fighting for the top seed whose starting center went out basically the entire season and have not a soul to play backup big minutes.

the only one who has mastered the art of exaggerating contact is Pat. Not that he is a flopper (and he genuinely gets hit in the face every second game)

Pat is a massive flopper these days. He might even be worse than Wes!

He is tough though. The defending with the face thing is part of the package. I think it's **** dumb and hate it when Giannis gets called for it when he's doing a Euro and someone tries to defend it with their forehead but it's all part of it.

It's actually a near miracle we won a title with almost no flop game. Pat has taken his game to a new level this season, was a lot less of it last year, PJ I guess was our biggest embellisher?

My take is he’s going back to Philly, when the Kings and Sixers finally agree on a Fox/Holmes for Simmons trade.

I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

I've moved the Sixers/Kings trade posts to the ATL thread.

I'd trade Brook and something for him if we had that something. Would be a great third big.

My theory I was developing was that Donte was tanking to ensure he stays put for that second ring, but then I remembered that Donte has been pretty butt his whole career.

Donte was a pretty good to very good role player both of the previous two seasons when healthy, pretty bizarre take imo.

Bobby without the 3 point range. Center only, which is just too limiting in defensive scheming. Wouldn't address a need here.

No, but he'd help with the "brothers" connection, assuming we also get RoLo back next month.


Does Middleton have a brother?

Did you see that pass? They are not trading Donte.
