The model makes predictions based on the current roster, so yes it did account for Nurkic being on the team. It's possible that his injury history maybe limits the predicted number of games he'll be available?
Take it easy on these kids with all that knowledge you're swinging around son!
Based on name because he wouldn't make us a better team
Whether you like Melo or not, don't you think the attention he would demand would open things up for our others guys at least. Making things run smoother? Or are you in the camp that he would bog shit down? I've seen him flourish when surrounded with other stars, the Olympics for example. But maybe that's because they were playing shit teams. I would love to have a go to guy in the post like we used to have.
I don't know. He showed some great post moves one trip, then looked a little scrambled the next. Think I need to see more of him to get a feel. I was impressed with his court vision and passing out of the post.
In today's NBA, it's nice to have a wing who can post. Since perimeter defense is so important today, taking that guy down low opens up so much for your offense
CJ said Melo would make us a top 3 team... but I guess you know more about NBA basketball from your couch than he does.
Because NBA players are always great at putting a roster together.
May not always be best at putting rosters together... but having played the game professionally, CJ sure as hell us a lot more credibility than a clown like you
Because you know me and my background? Lillard plays the game, and he recomended Leonard as our pick.
Settle down Gronk. Michael Jordan and Isaiah Thomas played the game professionally too, but I'd much rather have guys like Neil Olshey and Daryl Morey assembling a roster.
The guy told me I sniff jock... and I can't respond? Also, I don't say you can't understand... I just said I would trust player opinion more
Cause CJ, unlike the others mentioned, gives zero fucks about defense.
He's been caught on tape playing like he gives zero fucks. His stats say he gives zero fucks too.
Sure you can respond, didn't mean to imply otherwise. To clarify, my personal opinion is that calling him "a clown" is simply making it more personal than using terms like "sniffing jock" and "fanboy", which seemed intended to indicate disdain for your general elevation of athletes' opinion over those of laymen, rather than disdain for you personally. That was all I meant with the "settle down" comment--but since I'm not a mod or any kind of authority, you are of course absolutely free to ignore my suggestion.
CJ is an incredible athlete, and has good quickness. He could give more effort on defense.
He won a title because if him
