Parker was never able to defend SF

He can still move and defend the 3 position. He looked good in the playoffs.

I'd often get TG and D12 confused from a distance so it only makes sense that he walks out the same door Dwight does. Nets are quietly putting together some nice assets and is a team to watch in order to understand the best way to build now.

To the Charlotte Hornets organization thank you guys for the opportunity you gave me. The past two years have been full of learning and fun. You took a chance on an undrafted kid and transformed me into the player I am today. Thanks for believing in me and taking care of me and my family. #GoHornets #applypressure

Glad for him, always a 'soldier' on the court - a Matthews lite in a way - , he even had to play at the 4.. Even though i hope for better 3D's here.

As reported by the colleagues of OK Diario, Houston Rockets would have made an offer to Jeff Taylor for a season and two million dollars. The Swede has a contract with Real Madrid until 2019.

Demar, gay and Aldridge doesn’t really feel like a spurs team

Raps traded for Leonard, only gave Demar and Poetl.

Call me crazy but I'd rather go against that Toronto team than the previous one. They lost a lot of offense and playmaking

I also think Kawhi will laze out this season, play at 60% of his potential, and not play any defense. I understand why Toronto took the gamble, but I don't think it will work out well for them. Poetl is also a good get, will be a better player for the Spurs

Toronto fans are going to go crazy for Kawhi and he'd be a fool to pull the same stunt he pulled in little San Antonio

You're crazy. Kawhi is a top 5 player and DeMar Derozen is one of the most overrated choke artists there is.

He's a fool, and he's only a top 5 player when motivated, not in his likely Knicks-Carmelo state he will be next season where he just jacks up 3's and won't get back on defense. Kawhi knows that he is getting that max offer from the Lakers next season, he isn't gonna try or risk his body to play hard for Toronto

Oops, yeah I edited my comment. DeMar Derozen could play good for SA I think.

As for Kawhi, how do you laze out when you just joined the #1 seed from the East that just lost LeBron? It just seems like too perfect of an opportunity for Kawhi to increase his exposure and have more fame when he finally gets to La

Does this make anyone feel better about not getting Jabari?

HornetJail · Post #1138 » by **HornetJail** » Wed Jul 18, 2018 8:09 pm

not a great look, but Jabari would've been a great second offensive option for Kemba. I'd have taken him on a 1+1 contract like the one he got any time.

I wonder if we could have traded Dwight for Dennis Schroder? He makes less per year than Mozgov and Bismack (although the contract is a year longer) and he's a much better player than Parker. We then could have used the MLE on someone else like Luc Mbah a Moute in case we trade MKG or Marvin. Atlanta would just buyout Dwight as they would Carmelo.
