Someone on here described them as the worst team in the NBA after we beat them at home.

Shai is solid, Paul is still a good NBA player, Schroeder is pretty good too.

I know it was hyperbole, but they'll be beating some decent teams this year, especially with Adams back.
That was me, wouldn't be the first time I was potentially wrong. Although with Schroder dominating against us, it was quiet a shock to the system, so I don't blame myself for that comment.


I wasn't trying to single anyone out. I think they'll be a solid but ultimately unsuccessful team in the West. In the East probably could make playoffs...

Shocked to learn that the Sixers' strategy of having zero plus shooters or half-court ball-handlers in their starting 5 isn't working out so well

Yeah they would absolutely be in the playoff hunt in the East. Hell the middle of the west seems fairly open so maybe they see how things go for half a season and try to make the playoffs out West. But more likely they sell and go the other direction, gallo is the most obvious piece and as long as he's healthy there will be a decent market for him. Paul is a little tricky with that contract but I'm sure they would love to move him. Maybe guys like Schroeder and Adams could move too if teams don't mind taking the extra year on their deals.

Beal + Bertans for Bledsoe + Ersan + DDV + DJ + Picks satisfies the 125% rule.

Why would the Wizards do that deal?

Wizards can’t trade Beal this year.

I didn't say they would, but it's a starting point. "+ picks" implies Indy 1st and at least two Bucks 1st rounders. They could then flip Bledsoe and Ersan to contenders if they wanted.

Nah. I would rather have 4 shooters on the court with Giannis. Teams are just going to continue to leave Bledsoe on the 3 point line and pack the paint for Giannis in the playoffs. Bled just can't shoot consistently enough to make them pay.

Hill
Beal
Middleton
Giannis
Brook

Bertans is the new Mirotic and hopefully hits his shots. I think we have a real shot with that lineup. Probably not super realistic but dream big!

Is anyone actually surprised by the 76ers struggle? That team is hot trash. That said I think the same about the Lakers and here they are rocking a 10-2 record. Still probably one injury to LeBron or AD away to miss the POs.

The only chance for Beal was gone after the trade deadline. Im pretty sure he can’t even get traded this season so it’s useless to talk about it

Lebron turning back the clock has been something for sure lol.

Let's make fun of them while we can, because they're about to reload and get a dynasty 2.0.

I actually liked Bill Simmons “Tobias Harris for CP3” deal. If I was OKC I’d be the one asking for a pick though. I believe Harris has an extra year on his deal. Harris has been shooting like **** this season.

Yep.

2020/21 Warriors:

Curry
Klay
Green
Russell
Paschall
2020 lottery pick.

That's scary... I also expect a couple of their other young players on this year's roster to turn into useful assets.

Tobias is a plus shooter. Embiid and Simmons can handle the ball in the half court.

Makes us worse unless we get a PG somehow. And someone to backup Giannis.

And the two guys we get are the worst two defenders of the 6 guys in the trade. By far.

Harden with 23 shot attempts...in the first half. What a bum.

Doncic would be leading assists by miles if Porzingis made his shots
