Hahaha i dont know why you guys can’t get it.

Ok. Once you have Randle this will happen.

Ben drives. Kick it to randle. Randle will have a defender close at him. He will attack the close out. Once he reach near the paint he sees 4 giants with Ben, Biid and their man. He either stops and kick it out again or takes a floater.

The PF we need is someone like Kevin Love, Bjelica, Bertans or Ryan Anderson. Some merciless stretch 4 who will jack up 3s


Ok... but do we agree Randle is an upgrade on Tobias at this point?


Yes. And even Ben if he keeps this up.

Luckily, we have Morey now in charge and I don't have to be afraid our GM would actually go after Julius Randle ... :-)

Tobias played very good last night

Wizards lost again (0-4)

But at least Westbrook got his T-Double again

Waiting for Beal to demand a trade out ... be patient Darryl, be patient

Tobias + Green + Matysse for Beal and Bertans would be interesting

Worth monitoring the Beal situation.
Not sure we have the assets to add Beal to Simmons and Embiid, but would be interesting.

Beal, Harden and Biid would be interesting.

Sometimes, the best trades are the ones that didn't happen.

I have the feeling Milwaukee will look that way at Donte DiVincenzo (big fan of his game).

This was predictable. Westbrook only contributes to Westbrook, not winning.

Lamelo will be a hell of a player.. better passer than Simmoms, will be a good 3pt shooter and is really fast. When he gets stronger and gets better playing defense, he will surpass Ben easily.

Josh is coming back to earth, getting curry in that trade was really good for the sixers.

A guy I wouldn’t be surprised to be out of the league in 3 years max. Marvin Bagley. Following the footsteps of ex-king big Thomas Robinson.

Bagley was nail to the coffin for Vlade’s career.

Haliburton/Fox is my favorite backcourt in the league. Hali has that catapult/Brogdon release, but he makes it work and he's going straight to the top.

Suns reaching for Jalen Smith...

Bagley was nail to the coffin for Vlade’s career.

I could see him sticking around as a Derrick Favors type that bounces around in and out of people's starting line-up.

He and Ayton were terrible picks, though.

You still think Wiseman was a good pick? I think he's the next top of the draft blunder by these teams overrating Cs.

The Mavs roster is terrible. Luka is literally carrying that squad. The talent discrepancy on the floor last night between the Mavs and Hornets was astronomical.

I think Favors is much better than Bagley. Favors can play a role as a starter. You can’t even put Bagley a role. There are games and match-ups that you just have to not play Bagley.

I dont really have much data on the guys in this year’s draft. Wiseman only played 3 games. LaMelo was playing overseas, so was Killian. Edwards was basically a highschool kid playing in college.

Based from LIMITED data and LIMITED games ive seen from Wiseman, he’s the guy who I think can dominate a game unlike any of these top picks. At his age right now, Embiid was still a freshman for Kansas. Embiid didnt had his first NBA game until he’s 22, 3 years from Wiseman’s age.

Wiseman can be a freakish inside scorer, he can shoot, he is extremely long with very good mobility and athleticism.

I dont think it’s gonna be like that Ayton pick, which Im proud to say I have foreseen. And if you check the Suns forum you can see my posts there telling those guys to pick Doncic or atleast Jaren Jackson over Ayton.

Mavs is ruining Doncic’s supposedly MVP season.

My advise? Buy those Doncic’s rookie cards now.

Yeah, I'm not the kind of guy to say "I told you so", but I also said to get him! :lol:

We'd be far better off w/him as our backup PG as opposed to Maxey. For vet min signing him was a no brainer.

The only reason not do is a firm commitment to play our young guys instead and use this as a developmental year instead of doing everything possible to contend. I'm good w/that if that's actually the plan.
