They'll probably play even better without Wall.

And Beal always loves to toy with Tammy whenever he has a chance.

He's nothing special to me. A guard that can't make a shot, who is an average defender but gets some rebounds. Rebounds are easy to replace. I know he plays some nice passes, but his impact is overrated. I'd rather have Rondo then.

I'm not kidding. With his shortcomings in the equation, I'm convinced Philly would be better with 70% of the league's other starting point guards.

Barring any injuries Doncic will bring another chip to Dallas in his career. He’s going to be a triple double threat his whole career, and he has the potential to have one of those 50/40/90 seasons. There’s like two guys in the recorded history of the league that have been that, Durant and Bird.

Ayton is going to be every bit as good as Towns.

Overall I like the potential from this draft class, including our own, Kevin Knox. His ceiling is unknown right now which is really exciting for us.

Doncic’s defense is fine. he’s gonna be a star people need to get over it. i’ll bet on him leading a team to a ring before a guy like ben simmons and he’s an elite defender.

I'm happy with Kevin Knox's potential because I really think he can be a premier scorer in this league, but Luka is something special man. It really sucks that we didn't lose more games to get him.

I just go into it with the mindset of, yeah it sucks that we weren't able to put ourselves in a position to get Luka, yeah it sucks that we picked Frank over Mitchell, and yeah it sucks that we weren't able to get Fox or Tatum, but nothing we can do about it now, just gotta hope we get Zion, or that wherever we end up picking, we get a stud

Yeah... I don't get the "woulda coulda shoulda" BS. It is what it is. I'm sure there are plenty Luca jerseys available along with others so go get one. I just hope the name on the front wins a title. Couldn't care less about Luca, Tatum, DSJ, etc etc

Did Dirk or Nash have one of those seasons? I thought they were close.

I think he meant 50/40/90 as well as being a triple double threat, Dirk and Nash weren't triple double threats

Now is the time to trade for him as his value is lower so we can get him on the cheap make them eat THJ and Lee contracts and he won't ruin our tank this season either so we can still get Zion.

With a FRP from DET to WAS, this deal looks good to me... TANKS for everything!

This link doesn't seem to load. Can you do it on the trade checker or give a break down?

DSJ is so bad we could trade them Frank and get back something else in return.

Jesus, Dirk is completely done. All you have to do is run a PnR against him and the defense is cooked. The only reason teams don't do it on every play is out of respect for the old man.

I wanted DSJ over Frank & I wouldn't even do that.

DSJ needs to play the way Trier plays. He's not a PG and he never will be, he has no feel for the game. His first step is lightning quick so he can get by anyone but he needs to learn to protect his dribble.
