What a good time to be an NBA fan.

I have a feeling Westbrook will go to Miami.

I can only imagine the faces this morning of:
Stephen A Smith “Lakers, Lakers, Lakers” and Jalen Rose “99%”
:rofl:

Caring about their reactions to stuff they get wrong just feeds them more. Such pointless follows

That or the Knicks. What better story to play off of KD in Brooklyn that Westbrook?

I think Jimmy is the one guy who would call him on his ****.

I also read some people saying wizards and all I could think was you trying to run Beal out of town?

I would give up everything but Blake if I’m the Pistons

Makes me wonder if Randle bolted to NY for the money or he doesn't want anything to do with his former mates.

They weren't retaining him anyway. HE had a contigent of Pelicans fans who booed him there. He was awful on defense, one of the worst, literally the second worst starting 4 in the league defensively last year and a black hole on O

I think it's just occam's razor, caught in a rebuild and cap space making LA, then got an offer slightly above his predicted amount to be the most talented guy in the Big Apple. That's a wise move on his part.

Rondo and Bron were a -2 before they both got hurt on Christmas. Bron never had his pop back after his groin and Rondo never got his feel back with his hand taped up.

Cousins was pissed when Sacramento let rondo go, Ad was mad when hey let rondo go. They both like his voice. At the vet min he’s fine. I also will say that Gentry and Luke are hard to judge them by since Gentry doesn’t preach defense at all.

Caruso is the better defender. Rondo the best play maker. Cook the best catch and shoot guy. You can pretty much run Rondo and Caruso next to one another with KCP, Kuz, and Cousins for example and make that work vs a second unit and bug teams.

You can also make Cook, AD, Javale, Lebron, and Green look like a Cavs game

Cook could be the modern day Boobie Gibson so it was smart to gamble on him.

I don’t think Dudley or Daniels play every night at all, but I do think Dudley can teach Kuz tricks. And even a guy like Daniels can be a good guy in Carusos ear as a end of the bench guard who’s been traveled which looked like his own journey for a minute

I am too. He’s going to make Kanter look like Mutumbo to Knick fans

As long as it's the easy ass East I'm happy.

I recon he can go to finals in the East, some of you might laugh at that. I feel he has what it takes to survive in the east

and I really hope he does. Prove everyone wrong

Rondo can still be efficient against and dominate second units.

stan francisco · Post #1499 » by **stan francisco** » Mon Jul 8, 2019 7:28 am

I’m calling it: tomorrow Iggy will be bought out, terms will be finalized.

He’ll be the last component to Pelinka’s masterpiece of an offseason.

Whoa I wasn't aware of the fans booing him. Everything else mentioned were classic JR.

Well he isn't really afraid of the bright lights and big moments. NYC is a good stage for him.
