It sucks that he was part of that bad Tobias trade, but I liked Ilyasova when he was on the team, but he just didn't fit with the roster. He fits perfectly with this Bucks team though, so I'm happy to see him doing well.

Setting a team forward around a core of Williams, Knox, and Barret, it is interesting.

If I'm the Pelicans, even if AD gives the smallest indication he MIGHT stay, I make the trade with the Knicks. Getting to reboot your franchise with Zion and RJ is a PR dream. Maybe the Pelicans think they can pull a Lakers and convince AD to stay like the Lakers did with Kobe, but they've gotta remember they aren't the Lakers and AD hasn't won at all with them like Kobe had earlier. If the Knicks offer #3 and Knox, I think that's a great foundation along with Jrue for the Pels. They could still bring back Randle and EP as well. If Zion is as good as expected, that's a playoff team in two years with another lottery pick.

there are some rumblings that Zion wasnt exactly thrilled with RJ and wouldnt want to play with him in the NBA

If almost every NBA player wants to really win, at some point in the NBA I think we are going to eventually have 4 or 5 super stacked teams. And than every other NBA team will be about average or below average.

Dame recently said on the Chris Haynes podcast that he isn't jumping ship just to go on a stacked team and win a championship. If he can have it his way, he'd do it in Portland.j-ragg wrote:nymets1 wrote:Lillard, Mccollum and any other NBA players if they haven't realized it yet, If you want to win and go deep in the playoffs, you'll need to get on a super stacked team.

Blazers are in the final 4 right now, they did win and go deep in the playoffs. Unfortunately got matched up against the best team of all time. They can add all the talent they want but they won't be able to beat them. Best shot is doing it again and hoping Houston knocks off GSW next time and Portland gets them in the conference finals.
They're well coached and were strategically built to become a title contender.swarlesbarkley wrote:nymets1 wrote:Lillard, Mccollum and any other NBA players if they haven't realized it yet, If you want to win and go deep in the playoffs, you'll need to get on a super stacked team.

I feel like Giannis is breaking that mold right now. The bucks are an awesome team but I wouldn't call them "stacked".
Actually this is what Vogel wanted to do but Vooch didn't like it.NotACat wrote:thelead wrote:ivDT wrote:should've traded dwight for lopez...
Vuc should be playing the Lopez role for us. You just don't win through the post anymore.
I pitched this idea after game 2 against the Raptors and got laughed at

Brook played same role on Nets and Lakers, sucked because there was no Bledose, Giannis, Middleton, Mirotić, Brogdon, Hill, Ilyasova to take adventage of it.

And was an all-star as a low post player that couldn't take his team anywhere... sounds very familiar... and I don't want to blow a huge chunk of our cap space on that
