Around the NBA part 2 - Save Melo from Brodie

Grizzlies might be better without Morant

There defensive rating since he has went down is 94.1 and they held the lakers to 95 tonight. Which is #1 in the league in that time frame.

There defensive rating when Morant was playing was a league worst 115.9

He is a dynamic offensive player but that can't be a coincidence going from the worst defensive team to the best defensive team in that span.

Interested to see how they handle his contract extension.

And guys have comfortably been able to step up and provide the needed offense. Guys who shot less when he was there.

Which is why its funny when some have this fear that the Knicks won't be able to score without Randle, as if he's as dynamic of an offensive player as Morant and like we have some potent offense with him.

But back to the Grizz, props to them. They've been impressive

Spurs blow out the Nuggets and we beat the Spurs. This season is wacky

DSJ with another solid game last night as a starter. 12 points 6 rebounds 5 assists 2 blocks and held Steph Curry to 0-3. Love to see him take advantage of his opportunity.

Was able to see portions of the game and DSJ was able to manage running his team well.

Chauncey really the ideal coach for him. Now get Dame outta there so he can have the keys lol

On another hand.. check this out whenever you get time fam. He really seems like a great person. Crazy how Sarver didnt want to pay him. As someone whos also from the islands, I can relate to his mindset. He's all about putting in work. We need to be all over him if he's available. Easy automatic 23/10 guy with more touches.

A lot of parity except for a few teams at the top and bottom.

That’s definitely true, but they’d need to find ways to score without him in the playoffs.

[Capn'O]

Big part is that JJJ is all of a sudden playing like an all star on both ends. Hopefully he's finally able to put injuries behind him.

Now everyone wanted to draft Boston all of a sudden

I can only speak for myself but Receipts is easy.... When he was stinking it up. I kept saying he was a lotto talent.

I have them close to each other but I give Boston the edge for shooting ability. I personally have no bias against either one. You can’t go wrong picking them as prospects. I’ve learned to not doubt Kentucky Guards. They constantly perform better than they did in college.

Boston was literally in the same Tier as all the top prospects people are drooling over and his college struggles have not changed much for me personally other than his draft position to get the most value if his selection. Cal has an eye for guards/wings. If we hover around the end of the lottery he has to be in consideration I don’t care what no one in this thread thinks of him.

If you looking at it from a tier perspective Boston deserves Lotto Looks in the later part of it. Once the Williams and Barnes etc etc start coming off the board he will look better and better trust me.

It’s crazy to me to not see the immense value of being able to get BJ Boston if we are picking late lotto. People thinking he is some second round pick is laughable. I would rather follow the pattern that UK guards more often than not are good in the NBA. He has sucked for a far majority of the year. But there is a lot of talent in him. This is the case of talented wing not performing well, not a bum who can’t play at all. UK guards are different in NBA and nothing I have seen from BJ Boston as bad as he has been would make me Close the door. I still see the ability that is tantalizing in spades. Anything past 10 is excellent value for him.

Put some respect on GreenArrow's name!!!!!!!!

C’mon. DSJ is not a starting NBA PG. we can go back and cherry pick highlights from his Knicks days that are much better than that one.

My true identity may have been revealed?

I will leave more clues as the season goes along before I unveil the real Chanel. Stay tuned.

He could be Rose's back-up.

He was not gonna thrive here at all. Too much pressure and no support from the staff. Any young PG we acquire Thibs does not trust and will be buried behind DRose and old broken down Kemba. And now that Kemba isn't in the rotation, you would've thought, "hey finally we have a chance for our young PG to get some time." No, Thibs trusts a non-PG in Burks to start as PG just because.

So no, DSJ can ball out all he wants in another city. It would have never happened with the Knicks.

No doubt. I am not suggesting they are better without him (he is a dynamic offensive talent) just that they gotta find a better way for the team to hide him and for Morant to give a better effort on the defensive end.

One player shouldn't be the difference you are the worst defensive team when he plays and the best defensive team when he doesn't.

[Deeeez Knicks]

Wish DSJ all the best, but the Knicks got a better potential backup in Deuce sitting on the bench and need to let him loose.

He coming home

He is exactly that a nice pole player. And our greatest needs are at point guard and wing. It would be dumb to sacrifice our youth for him.

I don't think the Pacers would want him in the same conference either.

But who is our center? We can not trust and extend fat Mitch. Noel is very limited as a starting center.

Thibs needs a rin protector to his defensive system to work.

A traditional rim protector who does not hit 3s will bring spacing problems. Especially because we can not trust Randle and RJ hitting 3s.

But it is concerning the lack of consistency of Turner in Indiana. Especially in hitting 3s and rebounding the basket. He may be really good only in theory...
