Gallinari has been especially valuable. Consistently getting 15-20 point a game with maximum efficiency.

He's a natural born mismatch-killer. Smaller guards can't defend his Iso on the post.

Their roster depth is really good so they can use Gallinari as a sixth man and it has been really working well.

They don't even have Hunter right now and he is a very good 3 & D player that would cause even more problems. Although, it has allowed Huerter to get more comfortable getting up shots now.

He was my favorite candidate for the Bulls a year back. I wish him well with the Celts.

Adrian Griffin was a favorite on this board to get the bulls job. After the harassment charges by his ex wife I haven’t heard his name come up for any job lol.

So, per the WT, Simmons is pretty much officially on the market.

I think the Kings would be the perfect trade partner. Kind of a short-sighted FO; tread-milling; young.

A straight Fox/Simmons swap would be good for both teams.

Simmons/Haliburton/Hield/Bagley/Holmes

Fox/Curry/Thybulle/Harris/Embiid

I see no reason why this shouldn't happen.

Carlisle leaving the Mavs for the Pacers and talking Cuban into hiring Kidd on the way out is the ultimate "F you!" move. My man wants to see the Mavs burning.

I wouldn’t even consider doing this if I was the Kings. I’d easily take the Kings lineup with Fox over the one with Simmons you posted.

I proposed something similar in the Simmons thread IF the Kings moved up in the lottery, and could get Cade, or Suggs (i.e. - they loved one of them, and could get them).

Without moving up, I agree. I’d rather just stand pat with Fox. I don’t see Sacto as treadmilling right now either. They’re trending up, and were battling for the playin in the tougher conference lead by a 23 and 20 y/o in the backcourt.

Scottie never struck me as a bad guy, but impulsive. Sometimes, he does and says stupid things. Like this one.

Well, if he wasn’t happy with his depiction in the last dance, he ensured he would look worse with his own words causing it.

Booker and CP3 are way off.

and still find a way to lead.

Every minute of this Western Conference finals has been tit for tat.

Been going for the Clips and it's amazing what they're doing without Kawhi, but this Suns team just doesn't get cold. If they do, it's not for long.

Post #1898 » by **DASMACKDOWN** » Fri Jun 25, 2021 2:46 am

I think Clips will take game 3

Booker just picked up his 4th. Yeah its probably over. The Suns dont look like they have it tonight.

The 6ft Hurdle · Post #1899 » by **The 6ft Hurdle** » Fri Jun 25, 2021 2:56 am

All seemed to change once they put in Terrence Mann, really they need to shut down Rondo and let this kid play more

The 6ft Hurdle · Post #1900 » by **The 6ft Hurdle** » Fri Jun 25, 2021 3:02 am

Also, Clips seem to be preventing them from taking those 3s and making them take awkward shots.
