With Fred and Trent entering the final year of their contracts.

A young, cheap star talent is really more than needed when you look at the roster.


Which would be acquired through the 2022 NBA draft.

So does The Peking Order all of a sudden just become even better players? They have no ceiling?

They are all in for that 14th pick. Much better than playoff experience for our young players.

How much did playoff experience help Demar? Maybe it’s important to have talent on the team too


It actually helped a lot. His stats got significantly better to the point he put up 22/7/5 on 49% shooting in his last series with the Spurs.

Team Treadmill gets a win tonight. They are getting closer to that 14th pick. Team Masai suffers a loss tonight.


You got that in reverse - Team Masai gets the clutch win tonight. Team Treadmill sleeping on the street tonight.

720 called out FVV while he was balling and was right. Takes much more conviction and knowledge than people who are only around when it's convenient.

Now is that cause of his previous playoff experiences or his overall improvement over the years?

Cavs and Grizzlies are exciting with each 2 top 5 picks leading the way. We need way more talent that is young and don't have to be paid big dollars immediately.

What? :lol:

I'm just looking at a few games from superstars from around the league now. Here are some examples:
Trae - 6/22
Curry - 4/21
KD - 6/21
Luka - 4/17
Lebron - 6/19
George - 4/20
Jokic - 6/17

Honestly, you guys crack me up. You guys overreact to every loss and are completely oblivious to the fact that these nights are perfectly normal during an 82 game season. Even the best players in the league have had brutal shooting nights. The best shooter in the history of basketball was 4/21 this year.

You're the only person on this forum that would actually think Chandan made a valid point there. Not only was it not a valid point but it was completely illogical, non-sensical and just flat out dumb.

Except that he isnt. You guys live and die game by game and nothing gets you more excited than to run to this thread after every L to say hey I told you so!

Look at fvvs body of work not just a 4 for 20 game.

I know if only we had players that were primed and prepped to win game 42 of the season. Do or die, looser goes home middle of the regular season game that defines the team forever. Shame.
