That stint with the Jazz already over?

I publicly ditched her on this board over a week ago. Then I took up with the worst team in the G-League, the Delaware 87ers. I never watched a game before Thomas Robinson lured me to Khimki Moscow. Now I sit by my telephone, waiting for some new match made in heaven to call.

You are a basketball masochist, sir.
 
Other than Warriors and Houston, is the West really that much better than the East?

Hmm... The East jettisons most of its all-stars and catches up to the West in the process. The West got suckered!

Ya, that was a rebound. Him and Russell and Wilt used to do a lot of rebounds like that. Must have been legal to clear space like that back then.

My ball bitches!

Meyers should try this once. Sure it would be a foul most likely but still awesome.

Probably knock CJ and Dame's teeth out....
 
I think this whole forum would pool resources to pay ML's suspension fine if he did that!

Those tight shorts would make that difficult I'd think

Jordan Bell with his first start for the Warriors: seven points, six rebounds and six blocks in 26:24 of action.

Can see Bell being a Draymond replacement when the Warriors have to make some tough financial decisions...
 
Tbh I think in hindsight I would rather have bell than Caleb.
 
Both the Grizzlies and the Magic have lost 7 in a row. Right now it is looking like a good idea that Kingspeed didn't take the bet.

Does he have good passing range? Draymond has great playmaking skills.

No he does not. Unless he has picked them up in the last few months. Every time he would try to lead a break at Oregon I would scream for him to give it to a guard. Draymond Green he is not.

I know it's early, but it's looking like we royally fucked up this draft.

We had three first round picks and could have ended up with a combination of:
Monk/Mitchell + Kuzma/Bell
OR
OG + Kuzma + Bell

Again, I realize it's beyond early but how much better would we feel about the future of this franchise had we landed these players? Really, outside of Kuzma, a lot of posters here were clamoring for Monk or Mitchell if we traded up, Bell as a late first or potential trade in the 2nd and OG with our mid-first.

At the very least, we could have still had Collins, Swanigan, and traded future 2nds for Bell and I'd be stoked, because I think Bell as future DPOY potential.

I'm not saying Zach or Biggie are busts. All I'm saying is other prospects in our draft range are already showing much more production so far and have approximately the same amount of potential remaining.

I did take the and it was BonesJones who backed out.

No out wasn't. I met him on the middle and offered a different wager and he wouldn't meet me in the middle because he's not confident in his own opinions.

Yeah, it's almost impossible to get the perfect draft, hindsight will always be 20/20. I'll never sit here and say "We could've had this guy or that guy". Also because certain players may turn out better in certain places/situations, so it's subjective.

Personally, I'll only be upset over passing on Monk and Bell, because those two guys I was pushing for hard weeks before the draft. To me, Mitchell and Kuzma are hindsight guys ... but I don't get paid to select the perfect draft ... Neil Olshey and Co. do.
 
I like Caleb but I was totally on the Bell bandwagon for that pick.

His defensive awareness is off the charts. A hip issue (red flagged?) is the only reason why he dropped.
 
Bell would have been sweet!! Collins will be the guy in a year or two that explodes on both sides of the court. Caleb looks like he plays to small for his position. Time will tell.
 
Philly scores 130 without Simmons. I would trade his ass....to us.
 
OKC gets their asses kicked...by Dallas. I still think they turn it around, but wow....they continue to struggle.
