lolz. maybe if they didnt treat opposing players so poorly and didnt drag every player who left through the mud players would want to be there.

they could have kyrie and AD right now. but neithr want to go there cause they treat players like trash

Can't blame them for that. They used to winning and expectations are high. They also can fault Pats with Bill for that to some degree. They think players are expendable to some point. However that when they get it wrong. NFL and NBA is two different leagues, schemes can win it all in NFL. Not the case in NBA, talent most of the times tramp schemes just because second player is that better than rest of the depth.

Kyrie/Dinwiddie/Pinson
LeVert/Musa
Harris/Temple
Rodi/Prince/Dudley
Allen/Jordan/Williams

With Durant waiting in the wings.

Such a balanced squad. So many options for Kenny to mess with. If Rodi or LeVert make a leap this year, we're gonna be a major problem. If not, we should still have a good squad.

50 win floor if kyrie plays 70+ games

I think we'll do some load management with Kyrie. Still EC being top 5 heavy will make it easy to get us 45 wins. That's good enough to be top 4 imo. Really exited to watch LeVert, Kurucs and Allen next season. So much untapped talent right there.

I am still in absolute shock. I mean I knew we were the better organization but never thought I'd see the day. We just embarrassed the Knicks on their own turf. The "little brother" came in and dunked all ove them. So pumped for next year right now.

They can't see recipe for disaster to be honest. I get the fact that Taj is vet and all but he just picked them because he wants to play at home. They just hired two players who will be looking for their next big pay day. So how you do it? You pat your stats anyway you can... That's how they got paid this time around. It'll get ugly, just sit back and watch.

deandre jordan needs chemistry with kyrie and also durant when he returns, he needs to be the starter. i dont know if musa will see minutes with team yet.

Agreed, everybody will get minutes in Atkinson system. I think Jordan will start at least 20 games. He's still a double double guy

So I heard we got a protected 1st for Russell. Anyone know the details on that?

only they are not. harris and levert will get 28-30+ minutes. allen will flirt with 30 minutes as well.

who cares? you are talking about 80% of the starting lineup this year and 60% next year. it matters... alot.

Also, i hope fans dont put jordan on a pedestal and then bash him when they realiz e he is no longer the player he was. great backup, best days behind him though

I see a 27/21 split for Allen/Jordan. That will vary by matchup, with DJ getting more time against more physical players.

Kenny played our players by groups last year outside of some outliers with a couple players. I don't think it will be that much different next season. Don't get me wrong I think JA will start over DeAndre. I think what will happen is JA will get 22-23 minutes while DJ will get 20 minutes and go small at the 5 at the end of games that can stretch the floor.

I actually think by mid season LeVert will be our 6th man and Dinwiddie starts next to Kyrie. Having Caris off the bench will help our offense run a lot smoother where we can play PnR offense 90% of the game.

i can see both dinwidde and levert off the bench with harris/prince/kurucs too

Is Temple good? Just peeped his numbers and I wasn't all that impressed. Could we have done better with the room MLE?

He's a pretty decent defender and can at least knock down the deep ball (35% career 3 point shooter). He's not here for his offense that's for sure lol

Yeah I was checking his advanced defensive stats. They were ok nothing great and neither is his range. Just seems very meh. I think we could have done better maybe. What do I know, I'll trust Marks.
