Our heroes offseason

[El Chivo]

Post here every news we have about their homework.

Drummond keeps rapping and make horrendous music. Johnson will have fun in Drew league or some similar bull****.

Van Gundy's gonna eat for 6 months.

Other news?

Some of those high angle shots made me wonder if he honestly paid for a helicopter to come out there and film him jogging.

Haha I'm fairly sure it's a drone
He has paid some production company to produce that nonsense though. It's sad

Mmmmm yes it's incredibly sad that Drummond can throw himself into all these other endeavors 100%

Yet he can't unleash the Nakamura inside him when it comes to basketball.

I'm all for getting away from the game - or the job - but there's a time to get down to business too

I think it shows his immaturity. Not to sound like that guy, but he needs to concentrate on his basketball. He is acting like a star without playing like one.

Someone other than SVG needs to remind Dre that in order to get the most out of his talent he needs to devote "enough" time to the game.

Plenty of motivational speakers out there that preach the same ****...plenty of great players too

NOT going to the Olympics might end up being the worst decision he's ever made simply because he didn't get to see how hard the best players work to get & stay at that position

RJ watching his boy PG13 in the playoffs last week.

Incidentally, based on PG13's "I gotta get the last shot" rant after game 1 of that series, I can see why he and RJ get along.

I doubt he gets invited the next olympics at this rate.

And honestly, wouldn't even bother me. Would only solidify that he's not cut out at all to be the franchise player here. Someone else can gladly take him.

Look at this video about Rudy Gobert

http://www.sbnation.com/2017/4/7/15218816/rudy-gobert-utah-jazz-star-blocks-defensive-player-of-the-year

He focuses on defense, doesn't need postups, and is "willing to work hard even if he doesn't get the ball."

Drummond used to have that type of potential until RJ's "gotta have the ball" prima donna attitude came to the team.

I don't know if it's 100% RJ's fault. Once you get a max contract, you're almost entitled to that "prima donna" attitude.

Unless Stan sits him down and talks about it professionally, similar to what Doc did with DJ. I can't stand ESPN but this article was a decent read http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/page/presents19258322/the-la-clippers-last-stand

To sum it up, it's pretty much Doc telling DJ quit worrying about getting touches on offense and work on PERFECTING your defensive craft. And that's what he did. We need Stan to put Drummond back in his lane- Drummond simply isn't a player who should be taking 13-15 shots a game. However, I don't even know how effective this conversation with Stan would be as his players may have tuned him out already...

It's crazy to think I'd take Rudy over DJ AND Drummond at this point, easily.

Wonder how long it will take before everyone realizes Dre isn't a naturally talented defender? He's a great athlete, but his instincts for blocks and timing just aren't very good. He obviously can improve technique, positioning, effort etc, but he's never going to be elite on that end. He could be pretty good, but not elite.

He is an elite rebounder. He could easily be a top 5 scoring center if we had someone creating open looks for him. (We was literally 1 point less than the #5 scoring center last year and was actually #5 the prior year). We really need to quit trying to build around him like he's going to be a defensive anchor though. We're not going to be able to play him with an offensive minded guy and expect that dre will just be able to cover for him. Unfortunately, the list of pf's that are plus defenders and floor stretchers isn't all that long.
