Around the NBA - Offseason Chatter

[HEZI]

0 points / 0-5 from the field
4 assists
4 turnovers

Yeah but he threw some flashy passes though

Ben Simmons Jr

Simmons is stronger and doesn't take bad shot (well he doesnt take jumpers at all )

Simmons is also a multi positional defender.

Lamelo is like a taller Brandon Jennings

[dakomish23]

Desmond Bane with a nice start.

Idk who the MEM GM is but he ended up with the 3 late picks I wanted in Melton Clarke Bane

Sorry KP is not a good passer.

He's not Jokic, but he's not Nurkic. (Either level would be fine - he's somewhere in the middle.)

In the middle, somewhat elevated

Watch on YouTube

What are you on? Nurkic is literally more than twice as good a passer as KP is.

KP is a finisher and a scorer, he is not a facilitator in any sense.

Did you watch him in the bubble?

I'm a Nurk fan fwiw.

KP isn’t that good so Poku doesn’t have to jump over the moon exactly.

Look: I'm making cliched comparisons of skinny white Euro guys. Can you btfo here?

Spoiler:

-- ldo, you have nfi about how good KP is. If it was possible to put you on ignore I would.

I actually have a very good idea of how good he is. He’s not that good and adds very little to the Mavs. They were just as good without him. He’s a good shooter with a good offensive IQ. He’s also not a great shooter and he’s basically a poor passer.

It’s crazy to think about how bad we’ve been for song long and okc who’s been an perennial playoff contender for the past decade and yet they are lighttttt yearssss ahead of us in rebuilding.

From prospects to picks they are head and shoulders above us.

It’s soooo **** sad man.

Nurkic is better than KP. KP is probably the most overrated player in the NBA. His D sucked in the bubble. KP without D is crap.

So .. you either didn't watch the Mavs or you can't understand basketball .. or both. Gl. Like I said, if it was possible to put you on ignore I would in a trice.

I mean they have a zillion picks but that doesn’t make them a great team yet. They don’t give the trophy based on picks. And their roster is nice but no incredible talents. I’d rather have Luka.

I watched all their games. He’s not remotely on Luka’s level but you talk like he is right there. He ain’t. You’re kidding yourself. He threw like one good pass in the bubble. Lol.

And besides which his injuries make him DOA. Even if they didn’t KP is not that impactful. Take that with your ignore.

Did you happen to catch his stat line tonight? Pretty impressive DNP-on crutches from another knee injury. Good thing we aren't paying him 135 million over the next 4 seasons. Now that John Wall is back and putting up numbers he might be the worst contract in the NBA. They had a better record last year when he was injured btw. Even when healthy KP can't pass, he has the tunnel vision of kevin seraphin. He was however crying on instagram yesterday because NYC closed restaurants during a pandemic so as you can see he contributes a lot off the court as well

Not that I care that much but let's see where he's at when he comes back, man. Look at Wall and Boogie, man. Whatever, man. We have a preseason game tonight against the POS Pistons, man.

Lol wut? Nurk averaged 4 assists per game in the bubble. He's an excellent passer. KP is nowhere near that.

If obi or rj finished with o points and a bunch of pretty passes, not only would people call them a bust, there would be at least 3 threads demanding that they be traded

All hell would break loose.

Frank could pull this off just fine though, in fact the demand would be for more minutes

I doubt it, Frank and dsj get the most hate on these boards. Hell, I think half of franks support is about being contrarian to the massive hate he gets.

I didn’t get the move when it happened. Why limit the amount of shooters we have on this squad, especially when your last 2 lottery picks desperately need spacing?

Anyway, it’s done. Wish him nothing but success. OAKAAK
