Ok, now I don't think you've watched either player... Green is a great role player on a great team. PG is a individual star.

PG may not be as good as say a KD, or a Westbrook, but he's clearly better than Draymond Green.

If you think PG is better than Draymond, you don't understand basketball. I don't know how else to put it. Dude's the most versatile player in the league, arguably the best defender in the league, one of the best passers in the league, one of the best rebounders at his size that I've ever seen, a great finisher, and a decent 3-point shooter that's best used at center. You may not understand all of this just by watching him, but I'd take him over PG 100 times out of 100.

We're getting off-topic though. Any team that Magic/Pelinka could put together, even stretching the bounds of reality a bit, would get swept by the Warriors for the next 5+ years.


Green has zero pressure. Has he ever been double teamed in his life? Anyone can pass and hyper emphasize if there isn't any effort in preventing a player from doing so. PG has spent his entire career being focused and game planned for.

This is absurd.

Do you think he just magically appeared as an NBA player? He led Michigan State in rebounds, assists, steals and blocks as a junior, and was 2nd in points. Yeah, I think he's faced a double team in his life. Stop posting, you're making yourself look foolish.

You seem to find a way to work a personal attack into every post. Find a way to keep it about the topic, not the poster. -Kilroy

I don't know why this year all of a sudden it's a big deal that the team doesn't let the player know ahead of time.

How can they not know who they are picking??? We have the number 2 pick, and the draft is in 2 more hours.... Lmao clown franchise.

And if we trade #2 for #5 & #10... Magic Johnson should be fired.

Nah, I think it's come down to Big Baller vs De'Aaron ...although i'm wishing for Fox, i gotta admit that odds favor Big Ball.

Serious note, I think Lakers take Lonzo Ball and I think he fits perfectly in Walton's system. And I don't think Lavar will be a problem just like he wasn't for UCLA's coach.

They know, you want them to tell the world who we're picking before the draft so somebody can make a trade and cock block us?

Why everyone keeps throwing cheap shots at the franchise they supposedly root for?

You're so far removed from coherency it's hilarious. Don't bother responding to me unless it's in English.

I don't think my proper use of English is in question. Look at your post tab. Your posts are the exact same to every person. There are very few variables and one constant to the conversations that you involve yourself in.
