You were right, at least in the sense that he's obviously better than Bill Russell

The guy who played on a peach basket versus 6 foot white guys? Yeah, Drummond would cook him.

Drummond has like 50 pounds on Achiuwa. I want to see what Drummond looks like when he doesn't have a monster physical advantage. Is he still going to be trying to dominate his matchup and do too much or can he scale back into a supporting role?
jonjames is a signature bet welcher.

Regardless of how you see him he’s really on of best ever pickups considering his contract. Morey knows what he is doing (got Curry for peanuts to).



I also think his stupid " i think i can iso" can be more successful with him doing it on bench players, like he's doing now.

Still, depending on Drummond is a double edged sword


He is but it’s kind of a good double edge sword to have.

Incentive for himself to earn a longer contract ML + higher playing time (starting more games than Howard for sure, younger of course) and a bargain contract to boot so it’s costing us nothing. He’s fit and ready to go. And we are gonna have a lot of clank shots so plenty of rebounds. He’d probably average 10 off the bench lol

I see this as a win win for us.

In the FA forum I said it was a A+ deal.

I think we know the answer to this, there is a reason we got him on a minimum contract.

Not a ton of options for guys at the four who can shoot, which we'll need if Drummond is going to play a bunch. You can't really blame him.

not seeing much improvement from our others.

offense still starts at the half court line with a bunch of useless movement into a late shot clock shot.

Our backcourt of Maxey, Curry and Shake is way to thin ,we will probably struggle badly..
