If Hardaway's bitch ass is still here he better put up Michael Jordan numbers in the summer league


I have a feeling Hardaway will think he's too good for summer league.


I thought 2 years was the cutoff unless you're trying to make a roster.

the one and only. but only if he's healthy enough to teach him. Jah gets drafted by LA and who knows. It would be a good tool to have. One that a ton of bigs should be using considering the amount of success "The Baller Formerly Known As Lew" had with it.

Kareem and Karl Malone. Kareem can teach him the skyhook. Malone can teach him the turn around jumper.

He trains LA bigs during the summer, and not only!! He has a contract with their FO to do so!!

Also working with Okafor would be his personal pleasure and will... Same goes for KAT (who's even more KAJ-like)

Most frustrating to me is how Hardaway waited until the very last week of the season to start showing cross over dribbles and driving the paint! :evil: :evil: :banghead: :banghead:

I would hope I'm wrong but yeah I just don't see Okafor as the kind of big we need at this stage of the game. He's definitely skilled but almost certainly too soft to play good D and provide toughness. That'd be a big problem IMO.

I would. Then I'd firgure out a way to get another 1st Rd pick so I can draft either Cameron Payne or Tyus Jones to play PG.

For better or worse here is the top 4 I. The draft
1 towns
2 oak
3 Russell
4 Mudiay

I like Mudiay am happy with it. We do this every year trying to make it more complicated. This will be top 4 no trades no moves.

I haven't heard about the Knicks working anyone out. Been looking does anyone have info on this.

Okafor on the Knicks would be awesome. That's all I'm gonna say, I'm tired of arguing about his defense, the exaggerations have gotten too much root to bother addressing.

Okafor terrible defender
Russell as athletic as Greg Ostertag
Mudiay shoots like Rondo
Winslow is a midget

It's hyperbole season.

The fact that Towns has no haters makes me think his career is jinxed...Since he hasn't had any terrible player comparisons, he's doomed. So from now on I'm calling Towns Jared Jeffries just so that he can have his own hater too.
