Btw who has taken the credit for Bogut trade? I think it was accepted that Riley made it although IIRC Lacob or Riley mentioned that it was all Myers.

Hammond the dumb GM from Milwaukee was our best reason for getting that deal done.

But i would guess that's from a riley connection some how, since we've been dumping the players we don't want anymore over there before myers was even connected to the warriors.

I'm rooting for Oden actually ....I have no reason to hate on him.

I'm with you. He's such a genuine dude that loves to ball. It's a shame we won't see the GOAT-level talent he could've been, but I'm pulling for him to have a Hill-esque rennaissance.

If he can play 15-20 mpg without getting hurt in the post-season, Miami is a lock to 3-peat.

Moments like these, man. Respect for Wall.

agreed (my comment was tongue in cheek being Miami)

I found myself laughing at the Wiretap headline "Report: DeMarcus Cousins 'Very Bad' At USA Workouts". That isn't beating around the bush. Wasn't it just a week or two ago there was a Wiretap headline about Cousins saying he was clearly the best center around or something?

Onus · Post #1051 » by **Onus** » Tue Aug 6, 2013 5:49 pm

yup I guess he wasn't out there trying to prove he was the best center there. He didn't look good at all in the scrimmage.

He looks to be is really good shape. Better than last year. Lighter. The hip tear doesn't appear to have had a lasting effect and he's got his spring back. In previous years when he has had offseason ailments he has been noticeably heavier coming into camp. Mabye fewer shots blocked under the rim this year?

What ever happened to Lee extending the range on his jumper? I recall reading one summer that he was working on developing a 3ball with something like 1000 jump shots a day. We could use him with that range now. With Bogut in the fold we need less smallball C from Lee and more and more of the agile/skilled PF look. Lee is probably better off the dribble than most others at the PF position and certainly better off the dribble than most defenders at the PF position are comfortable dealing with. If he could extend his jump shot range outside of 20 feet, that give him room to operate with his dribble and and more playmaking from the PF spot. Lighter probably means weaker and less effective in post D, but maybe improving his all around agility could result in better rotations. With Bogut and Oneal watching his back this year I'm less concerned about his D anyway. I just want him to keep that rock moving. Passing Lee >>>>>>> Buckets Lee and if he's getting touches with more open space and room to beat guys off the dribble, I think we will see a very unselfish player who will help make his teammates better like he did in the 1st half of last season.

I like this take. +1

He does take a lot of players off the bounce after a pump fake.

Wow, he actually looks defined. I like the idea of him transitioning his game into a stretch point-forward.

I always wonder about this too. I mean, why can't he just focus on adding a corner 3? That would be huge.

Jeremy Tyler signs partially guaranteed deal with the knicks.

love NY fans reaction under the article.

Lee is sort of an enigma to everyone....He just doesn't look like a PF...cause he is light on his feet....quick as heck....Yet he's not a small dude either. Harrision Barnes, for example, dunks like a monster...Lee throws it down quickly...but is off the rim in a flash....which makes his dunks look like he's playing with a little toy basketball hoop or something!

Very cool to see him being athletic so soon.

Thinking about the Warriors in the playoffs last year without him.

Now imagine we are in the game against the Spurs and we have both Lee AND Iggy.... Different outcome maybe?
