LaVine is a -1730 for his career. I had to do a double take because I thought my computer glitched :lol:


Never thought of career plus/minus, what an interesting stat. Lavine is at 9th worst all time actually.
The list shows a lot of empty stat heads, like Ricky Davis, Maggette, Nick Young and so on.

Our boy Eddy Curry is #5 on the list with -1894 in only 527 games played.

The Rockets are 2nd in the league defensively, it's pretty much impossible for him to be worse than Kanter.

I heard that KD was the one who pushed for Bradley Beal, so there's that too. Either way, Ishbia is about to learn a hard lesson.

KD is going to work the same magic he did for the Nets when he insisted on KI and Deandre Jordan, getting rid of Green, etc.


KD was the reason why Bruce Brown left BKN for Denver, and he proceeded to win a championship with Jokic, who is a well adjusted, mature adult.

I'm glad people are starting to see how much of child Durant is. He's doing the same crap:

1) He came in, got a coach fired. He did the same to Atkinson in BKN. We can debate how much of a good coach Monty is, but dude got to the NBA Finals with the Suns. KD can't get to a Finals without Steph carrying his carcass.

2) Forced the team to trade assets for Bradley Beal. Same thing he did with Harden in BKN, but this is even worse since Beal is an albatross contract that will f*ck the Suns thoroughly.

3) Things begin to implode, and instead of showing leadership, he begins to signal that he wants out.

Phoenix would be wise to trade this jackass now and recoup as many picks and prospects that they can. Wait til the summer and dude will sabotage their free agent process. He's basically got a pattern now. Once he sees that his free ride to a ring isn't guaranteed, he bails.

If I'm Booker, I'm telling my agent to get me to the Knicks. It's the perfect landing spot and Brunson is a mature professional who wants to win, and actually put in the work that it takes to do it.



Any trade involving Booker would only happen in the offseason and only (a very big ONLY) if Phoenix decides to take it apart. My guess is that before they do any of that they will fire the coach and make a bunch of changes to role players this offseason. The Suns have their top three players signed until 2025-2026.

Have you watched him? He can’t get off the ground and he’s slow-footed. Am I wrong about that?

He just moved out of the way on a Haliburton layup. Sengun is getting killed underneath. :lol:

Don’t get me wrong, I love HIM but we would’ve been much better off if we had simply drafted Haliburton and used the Brunson money to bring in a better player than Donte.

Now that it is obvious that Bridges is not a #1 option lets find a way to trade RJ and a couple of FRPs for him.

I've watched him play plenty, you can't have a top 5 defense if your center is worse than Kanter defensively. You're basing your judgement of over 1 game, when he's been solid all season.

So you agree that the lane has been a Throughway for the Pacers when Sengun played center tonight?

Explain how they're 2 in the league if he's worse than Kanter.

:lol: You didn’t answer my question … or maybe you did.

Sengun looks worse than Kanter tonight. Stay focused.

Edit:
