no, i get that. i was just curious to see if there was anyone here who believes that gordon should play the 4 and that vuc needs a rim-protecting 4 to complement his apparent weaknesses in that area of the game. there's clearly a bit of a contradiction there.

It was so depressing waking up this morning and seeing we'd lost to the Knicks

It was also depressing to wake up and see that Jacque Vaughn is still the coach.

What are we going to trade for Rudy? He is a STUD


Dude is a freak. He's leading the league in opponent FG% at the rim, limiting opponents to 37%!

Not sure if he'd be able to play alongside Vuc very much. He's not super athletic so wouldn't be a recovery/help defender. You'd want him in the paint waving his spider arms around.

True, and there was no chance of me watching the replay on League Pass!

Real reason why this was done are not basketball reasons. Knicks are over the cap whether they keep Randle or let him walk. Their hands are tied regardless so by getting Towns they saying "We might as well stay good for longer while not being able to do anything in free agency rather than losing Randle, becoming a worse team and still not being able to do anything in free agency"

That OG deal...

This trade wasn't some conspiracy - it was just a GM wanting AD bad enough where in most people's eyes he overpaid by a long shot to get him.
