What are you talking about?

it was well known LeBron wanted kawhi - it happened as did Miami and Cleveland there really isn't any argument.


Celtics big 3 moves made by GM
LeBron Miamiz and Cleveland moves made by LeBron

Nothing to hate about, it's straight facts and truth.

Biggest bitch in NBA history. Don't understand how anyone outside of his team's fanbase can ever root for him. Personally would laugh if he gets hurt again.

I agree with you. I think the Nets are Harden and KD. Kyrie a bit later and then all the rest. The rest are not all guys in their primes or close to them. The Nets will go as far as Harden and KD take them.
My eyes glaze over when reading alternative stat (not advanced stat) narratives that go many paragraphs long. If you can not make your point in 2 paragraphs it may not be a great point. :D

and just as we're talking the Lakers are probably going to get Drummond....LeGM is always trying to stack the cards so I don't blame KD for trying to do the same.

"LA's stars have been recruiting Drummond hard" :lol: just like they did with Kawhi

But this is the new norm. Lebron started whole teaming up nonsense and when you can't beat them join them phenom. I don't expect anything to change.

Drummond should sign with the Nets too, if only to troll the rest of the NBA. They can pay him five times more than the Lakers can.

If he was not injured it might be to stop AD but first they have to get by Philly. Great team on paper but there is only 1 ball. Nothing is guaranteed. Shaq/Kobe lost to the Pistons. Dwade/Bosh/Lebron lost to the Mavs.


Oh god... Stop it with the one ball argument. It's already been killed... Repeatedly... Yes, the Nets aren't a lock for anything because had work and grit can still trump talent, but let's not make the Sixers out to be one of those hard work and grit teams... The Sixers want absolutely nothing to do with the Nets. They couldn't guard KD and LeVert. They'll be even more helpless when it's KD, Harden and Kyrie.

*Nets* Yea we'll take Irvin, KD, Harden, Griffin, LMA, Jordan **Calls GWS** "Hey like you guys don't seem to be doing good can we borrow Curry for the rest of the season? we'll return him to you after the playoffs no problem"

As dirty as this feels, if the Lakers make it out of the west I'd even cheer for them and Lebron to take down this abomination.


I also blame Adam Silver for being a spineless coward and letting players run the league.

yeah it's just KD vs Lebron for the GM of the year.

Durant knew that a duo of him and kyrie wasn't enough to beat the lakers, that's why he recruited harden

No he cannot.

Aldridge has his pros and cons.

Holding his own against top big men is a huge con.

He gets outbodied by Robin Lopez.


No. I’ve seen LMA defend Embiid. I’m not saying he’s gonna to stop Embiid. No one truly stops Embiid. Even Gasol/Horford from 2 years ago. Those guys got cheat help defense as soon as Embiid helps closer than 7-8 feet of the basketball

What I’m saying is Aldridge can slow him down. He’s got a long wingspan. And enough muscles to at least provide some resistance. Sure Embiid is gonna to draw a ton of fouls. But the key is not to let him get in rhythm these days. You need some muscles along with some timely double teams (think Aaron Baynes and Toronto hard double teams). It worked against Embiid. He was shooting like 25-30% with that type of defense.

Deep squad. Imagine if Dinwiddie wasn't injured. Is there a scrub in this depth chart? I don't think so.
