In case anyone still has any fantasies about Noel being a good player..... he didn't even get back to the FT line. So much for the Process

Griffin bought out. 100% he is going to the Lakers o Nets.

Griffin is obviously pretty washed up & I assume he's going elsewhere, but I wouldn't mind taking a flyer on him for the vet. minimum. I actually think we give him the best chance to carve out a real role.

Exactly my thoughts

I agree. He definitely must ring chase this point of his career.

Terrible idea. Have you watched him play this year?

"Watching Griffin play this season has been tough. The former Slam Dunk contest champion has zero dunks this season in 626 minutes. Compared to his rookie season when he had 214 dunks, Griffin looks like a completely different player. The former number one draft pick hasn’t dunked in an actual game since December of 2019."

Not sure that Detroit BG is the best, most motivated BG out there. I think the Nets will have a much more focused version of the guy.

I remember people saying Batum was cooked and he's been solid for the Clippers. Shooting 47% and 43% from 3, compared to 33% and 28% from 3 last year. Some guys just need a change..

What role? He would be the worst player on the roster.

His role would be to make you appreciate TT.

So he would be playing then? If he's here as a towel-waver and pregame standup shows, I'm down.

Watch Blake start averaging 18/6/3 with the nets. Giving up 13m means he's looking to put in maximum effort to win. He will be so wide open it won't take much for him to just put it in. He can shoot the 3 and pass well, pnr all day.

I don't know, I find it really hard to believe that he's capable of doing anything. He is wide open all season from 3, you don't even have to guard him. He has zero dunks on the season. It's not an effort thing, he's just toast.

Blake is washed.

Until he isn't. I hope he's as terrible as he's been and age/injuries never fail to stop players, but I'm not sure if he's done or rare (IDC that's not cooked :lol:

).

James Harden better win a championship this year because he just said Antoine Walker has no credibility.

Looks like Toine hit a nerve.

Toine may not be a Hall Of Famer, but he has a ring.

James Harden still has ZERO rings.
