Around The NBA

I really hope Heat doesnt wreck the team for Harden, not worth it.. Not a good match.
I see him more in Philly or Brooklyn.

I think Herro is overrated. He's a good young player but he'll never be anything close to Harden. If you're trading Iggy, filler, herro, nunn, precious and even robinson with picks, that's a great deal. Harden is an MVP. You'll still have Butler, Bam, Harden and some vets left. I hope they can keep Robinson and Dragic. That'll give them the spacing they need.That's a better team than what they had last year.

and miami is a ring chaser destination just like the lakers, guys are more willing to play there at a discount. maybe they will be short this season but by next season they would have a full squad. With that said i do not like the fit.

It wouldn't be it for this season. They'd still have trades, guys who get cut and they have a knack for finding the undrafted role player.

I also forgot to list Bradley who they just signed and Olyenk who opted in.

If you are trading just Herro, Nunn, Iggy, Precious and picks ok.. But not including Robinson!

Harden, Butler, Robinson, Harkless, Adebayo, Dragic, Olynyk, Bradley, M. Leonard is pretty darn solid team..

[Chi town]

LaMelo and Wiseman tonight. Will see how they look.

Hali with a solid start. Hayes looked shakey.

PW looked good.

I saw a headline somewhere saying Wiseman isn't playing in the preseason, maybe because he had Covid?

[Chi town]

Raps getting run off the floor.

Melos passing is as advertised.

5 minutes in, but LaMelo looks exactly like what this Bulls team is missing. Hasn’t been challenged to shoot yet.

[AshyLarrysDiaper]

You can see the work Lamelo put into his body. He doesn’t look physically overmatched at all.

[VolumePoster]

I said before I think lamelo is a basketball genius. I still think he is. P Will is a good pick, but Melo has a rare gift.

[AshyLarrysDiaper]

Charlotte is doing the most with this piped-in crowd noise. It’s the preseason, geez.

We miss talent. We miss mental strenght. We dont miss LaMelo. There is a lot difference.

Are you watching the game right now? It’s on NBATV. The guy is setting people up left and right. Not just flash plays either although he’s had a couple already.

I think your going to have to include Olynk or Leonard to match salaries. And I doubt you get away with not including Robinson. But you still do it.

[Chi town]

Melo looks a lot like his bro. Not much of a shot. No 2nd level shooting. Good D, rebounding, and push ahead passes.

As advertised is a good description, both good and bad. The one key difference with his brother is he can really attack off the dribble, both in one on one and pick and roll. Raptors really struggling to stay in front of him, but he will need to work on his scoring as teams adjust.

[MrSparkle]

LaMelo does look better than Lonzo- what he was supposed to be. But yeah, we’ll see when he scores his first basket. Fun to watch. Meanwhile for all the Hayward contract ragging, he was perhaps the best pickup this off-season. He’ll be a major spacer for them, and that team really needs it. Otherwise I liked their young energetic team last year, and I like them now.

Poku got a little burn. Insane length; he needs to adjust to the NBA, but he has a confident demeanor.

Okoro, Vassell look like solid role players. Garland showing life.

[MrSparkle]

Maledon meanwhile looking like 2x the French player that Hayes is.

Poku just threw up a fugly airball hook/floater.

[Chi town]

Raps 2nd string now running Hornets starters off the court.

The 3 ball and IQ has changed the game.
