2018 Around the NBA - October

[Rozay]

Zack Collins is not good offensively whatsoever. He’s really good defensively I’ll give him that.

But offensively the ball does not show him any love. Imo we drafted the wrong Collins and should have gotten John Collins.

Zach is no way a #10 level pick

 

[jlprk]

If Im being honest this is what makes me ticked off at NBA defenders, #20 on the kings was in so no mans land, go help you’re freaking team mate.

Uniform #20 is Blazer draftee Harry Giles. Olshey traded him, as the #20 pick, with the #15 pick, for...the #10 pick...

Zach...I think hes gonna have to get the ball to go through the hope at least at a respectable pace before he can be more than a role player.

 

[jlprk]

Zach’s offense has been up and down and even behind where the team thought it would be now...I’m confident he’ll eventually figure it out, but he’s pretty one dimensional right now.

Not a modern power forward? Olshey better talk him into signing with Brooklyn.

We are going to regret trading away the pick that ended up being Harry Giles.

Justin Jackson is trash, but Giles has some game. I think he'll be way better than Zach this year.

Well played lol.

Remove Ed and Im ok with it...

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Ha. Obviously a typo.

I'd call that more like a "Freudian slip".

Are cell phones in Germany real BIG? Whenever Jerry posts pics off his phone on here they are HUUUUUUGE!

Just got back from the Mavs vs Sixers game in Shanghai. Simmons, Embiid, Doncic, and DSJ were all studs. I was hoping to see some game from Fultz but sadly he didn't show much, never made his presence felt on the court.

Reddick was a stud tonight despite being boo'd heavily every time he touched the ball (he had a video go viral last season, he mistakenly said a slur).

Fun atmosphere, the Chinese love the NBA. They had some "NBA Legends" at the game tonight..a few were a stretch to call legends...ha.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Is it just me or does Ingram look like he is almost literally all legs, with a stumpy little torso? It looks like a little person on stilts.

I just watched on my TV and didn’t have to fly to China bro. Got some Panda Express and enjoyed the game at the crib.

What does the plastic fantastic purveyor has to do with the Chinese experience?

there are several sizes, i have a Samsung galaxy s8+, wich is 15.8cm or 6.2 inch. But there are also smaller phones, for example the Samsung galaxy mini series. But i allways buy Samsung s+ phones because i hate small phones and Samsung is my favourite brand. I don't like iphones from Apple

Old Man Panicking just doesn't like the way his Schwanz looks when he takes a picture on a big phone. [In other words, it only fills up half the screen].

OK, OK. I see you bringing that preseason heat.

If he wants to take a photo of his junk, he should be asking for microscope recommendations, not phone recommendations.

What did they do for us ? A 1st round exit? Who cares about them

He reminds me of a spider I once killed which landed vertically, as if it was standing up.

Damn that was a spicy dinner that night.

The ego on CP3 and Melo is so crazy and out of whack for guys who havent ever won a championship its bonkers. They seriously talk and act like they’re on Lebrons level...

The question with Giles wasn't talent though.

With our history of getting screwed by drafting big guys with knee issues, I understand passing on him.

In hindsight, we trade 15 and 26 for 13 and draft Mitchell and then take Anunoby at 20, but oh well.

Sigh, that would have been sweet. I was high on Anunoby too but in fairness he also had a knee issue. It's possible though that if we don't trade up for Collins he slides to 13 or maybe even 15. Monk possibly could have gone 10th and Mitchell maybe at 11 since it was rumored that Jordan wanted Mitchell and Cho talked him into Monk. It's impossible to know.
