Exclusive OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: FEBRUARY 2023 (1 Viewer)

I think Chauncey would probably love a C a lot more mobile than Hassan. He'd have a hard time recovering from the perimeter defense Chauncey's system requires everyone to play to protect the rim.

Whiteside drove me nuts because he’d leave his man to chase the block. Too often for my liking

 

[RR7]

Night in and night out leading the NBA in blocks and rebounds. But you’re saying that’s “bad” right?

Nobody in the league has him on their roster this year, but I'm guessing you're smarter than the 30 GMs in the league because you can look at his counting numbers and assess his impact. Maybe instead of creating highlights you should be in a front office signing players! Or instead of making fun of nerds, you could look beyond the generic stats and try to look at on court impact for players. I'm sure that's too much for you. You're old school like that.

But if he got the block, then HCP could see that, and that meant more to him than positional defense, rim deterrence, team defense, etc. Counting stats!

Stats he did get, yes. Haha

I wasn’t a fan. And there’s a reason he was basically out of the league shortly after

 

[wizenheimer]

Whiteside had numbers that significantly outweighed his impact. He wasn't a bad as his detractors made him out to be though

but he's a dinosaur type C; less mobile on the perimeter than Nurkic, and Nurkic is a stiff out on the perimeter. That's the reason that Whiteside isn't in the league anymore....obsolete. Too bad Cronin didn't use Whiteside as an impact gauge before he gave Nurkic 70M

 

[Whyachi]

I guess Steph Curry tweaked his knee, X-Ray negative, MRI pending.

 

[Strenuus]

Did he? I don't think so.

Our other project big has gotten a minute or 2 or run in a couple of blowouts, but not Badji.

Yeah my bad. I seem to have a memory of him being in one blowout for some reason. Oops.

 

[Strenuus]

I am not seeing how the Lakers or the Mavs have good enough package for Kyrie. The Lakers have no young starting level talent. They have two, potentially astronomical picks, years from now. How is that a good offer? Sure a Westbrick expiring is useful but not in a longer term teardown to the studs situation. What young stars do the Mavs have? Dinwiddie?? BKN been there and done that. PHX has a better shot imho.

They don't need a package, they just need to tamper. He's going to LA and they will make anything work for it.

As the script goes.

 

[Chris Craig]

Badji hasn't played. He currently is out due to a knee injury.

I think Dallas is more likely. They will give a better package.

 

[Strenuus]

I think Dallas is more likely. They will give a better package.

Maybe for the third team in the trade

 

[KingSpeed]

Badji hasn't played. He currently is out due to a knee injury.

Why did we sign a guy with a knee injury???? Is that a better option than Cousins or Howard? Those guys must suck.

He injured it after we signed him.

Take a deep breath there FAMS. I’d rather have Whiteside than anything we have on our roster that is pretending to be a center.

It’s @THE HCP !

 

[Predator]

Cool, you stick with Nas and Keon bro

Where did I say Nas and Keon are good?

Maybe, just maybe, I’m not interested in Nas, Keon or Russ?

 

[KingSpeed]

He injured it after we signed him.

And he never played. Crazy.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

So the Pelicans end their losing streak against none other than the Lakers

 

[THE HCP]

 

[DDolla]

Wish we had a Balmer type owner

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Is there a way this man could actually be in the conversation for MVP?

 

[Pinwheel1]

Wish we had a Balmer type owner

I think we do. We have often offered crap for a good player. Kennard and RoCo are rarely in the rotation anymore.
Jackson played 15 minutes last night and Wall they are considering cutting. I would be surprised if the Nets took that deal.

Brian Lewis: Kyrie Irving has not decided yet whether he will suit up for the #Nets again and play or sit out the rest of the season if not moved by Thursday’s trade deadline, according to a source familiar with the situation. But it is a nuclear option they say is being discussed. #NBA

The Nets would be my new non-Blazer favorite team (even with Durant) if they had the balls to let Kyrie sit for the rest of the season and not pay him a fucking dime. That will not happen because someone will offer some value, but I would love to see him not get his way.

 

[blazerkor]

Is there a way this man could actually be in the conversation for MVP?

He would be right now if we were winning. So yeah, if we make the trades before Friday that get us winning and in the mix and Dame continues to put up these kinds of numbers then he could definitely win the MVP. I don't trust our management to make that happen but I'm keeping my fingers crossed until Friday.

 

[Strenuus]

You do realize that's a really shitty deal for an equally shitty malcontent who needed an otherwordly player to get him a title because he's an awful teammate, right?

You didn't know that because you posted that. So you're welcome. Learn from your mistake.

 

[julius]

Wish we had a Balmer type owner

you wish the team had a Balmer type owner to make an incredibly short sighted trade that will most likely backfire?

We did that already.

Practice.

But, yeah not a good sign.

 

[Cugel]

Wall, Jackson, and Covington are all washed up. BKN has no interest in that. Nurk, Hart, and Winslow is a better offer than that.

 

[DDolla]

Luka and Steph hurt… time to start Dame at the All-Star game
