    Summer trades?

    They dont need positions, nor do they need to slot into positions. This is what ive been talking about for weeks. LeBron is going to be the main ball handler anyway. Not to mention, George and Kawhi can guard 1-5. That said, its not happening.

    Or you just need 10 years of experience to sign a 35% max. So... yes and no.

    Honestly, Ball is a great fit next to Booker. As I've been saying. I'm buying all the Lonzo stock.

    Memphis pick is top 8 protected next year, top 6 2020, unprotected 2021.

    Now its about #16, 31, and 59

    My boy Chandler Hutchison popping on that list. Big fan of his game. I've been following this premise for a few years. Its definitely something to form a frame of reference before or after breaking down film. A nice, simple guide to put certain things into perspective and to easily identify...

    Competent wings. Im not as high on Knox as I have been other wings the last few years. That said; competent wings.

    Moving up scenarios

    Dinwiddie is solid, and a good rotation guard, but the Nets arent re-signing him next summer. Their chips are in on Russell anyway. Not the worst move in the world to use him to move up in the draft. Personally, I think Sen Marks has done a great job building the Nets with nearly zero draft...

    Anti Ayton Stuff Flowing Now

    He did foul a lot, but Izzo refusing to play him more was one of the major story lines in draft circles. Why the hell was he not playing more and being put in a position to succeed on both ends of the floor?

    Anti Ayton Stuff Flowing Now

    Using AAU data is a flaw to the algorithm (outside of some context and something to form a baseline, such as FT%). Not to mention this qualifier, to which I agree and also believe it is another flaw for the rest of their rankings outside the consensus top 4 (which they have):

    Anti Ayton Stuff Flowing Now

    Because he projects into today's NBA. Can protect the rim, switch onto guards, has length and a massive standing reach, and shot that projects with a good FT%. Not his fault Izzo refused to use him properly and with limited minutes. I dont think his upside is as great as some of the other bigs...

    Summer trades?

    I could write 10,000 words on Griffin, but I will sum them up like this: The Clippers could not afford to let him walk. He is still one of the best passing big men in the game, and is also historically very, very good in that department. His first step is good, hes physical, his jumper...

    Glad I wasnt around here last year. People would have hated me.

    Trade down scenarios with the #1 pick

    Been shooting down this narrative since I started posting here again. He just wasnt good at protecting the rim, and defending PFs had little to do with it, if you actually watched his tape.

    Trade down scenarios with the #1 pick

    Yeah, Ayton's offensive upside is unlimited. Athleticism, body control, foot work, touch, projectable jumper, decent passer, can attack off the dribble, good in the post, good second jump on the offensive glass. All that, and he still has plenty of offensive upside if he can create off the...

    Trade down scenarios with the #1 pick

    Agreed. I broke him down all season. Playing more in the paint wasnt improving his lack of rim protection.

    Trade down scenarios with the #1 pick

    This is part of a fake NBA news account epidemic the last week or so. There are new accounts popping up, including "Hoop Scoop", which are fake accounts using profile pictures of other real people not running the account, and/or stock photo people, and even an NBA2K Sports League Managing Director.

    Summer trades?

    His jumper needs a lot of work. However, if you dont think hes a solid defender you didnt watch him play. I was completely surprised at how well he performed defensively. I dont put a whole lot of faith into single season DRPM numbers, because there is no context behind them (multiple year...

    Summer trades?

    I would buy all the Ball stock I could find. Ive always been high on him, despite him not being able to create as well as one would hope off the dribble, plus fixing his jumper. The biggest thing to me is just how well he performed defensively. I would absolutely take Ball over Young. Not even...

    Now its about #16, 31, and 59

    Honestly, its not close at all. Brown has elite athleticism, has proven to be a quality defender across three positions, and his offensive game has expanded far beyond what I ever imagined he would reach already. For a guy who couldnt hit a 10 foot jumper, the dude shot 39.5% from three on 4.4...

    Free Agency 2018

    If LeBron comes to Phoenix it's because the Suns can sign him and trade for another stud plus parts. Hes not coming to Phonix to play with Booker and Ayton without another ace in the hole. Just my opinion, because that team is a lot of internal improvement away from knocking off the warriors or...

    Still shoots a flat ball. Release point needs to be a bit higher with a natural follow through, instead of a flat arc. Footwork needs better balance, ect. Small things like that which you can be taught and correct. His touch is good, and his shot is nowhere near broken.

    The Suns with the 2018 #1 overall pick select....

    Im a huge UA fan, so ive seen all his games. I mean what hes worked on after the season, heading into SL, and then training camp. He has some work to do and a lot of kinks to fix. Nothing major though, and I think he turns into a solid shooter from range, if not better.
