The 2019-2020 Around the NBA thread

[Mainstreet]

We dont know if this is a Jeremy Lin situation or not lol. One thing consistent is his shooting. I'm wonder how much attention the Celtics paid attention to Herro before the start of the series. I'm sure he has their attention now.

Oh, I think Tyler Herro is going to be excellent. He has the IQ and all the tools to go with it. I really like how he passes the ball and runs a team. This will only get better. That's not even mentioning his shooting and nice height for the position. He can rebound as well.

 

[Finito]

Yeah, it's tough to say good things about a excellent young player from the 2019 draft without it getting warped. I do think Herro has the chance to become an elite player.

Booker and Herro's rookie stats are very similar.

This is why a GM can't be happy with role players in a draft. I so wish the Suns would invest the money in scouting it deserves.

he’s not comparing them as rookies. He’s saying Herro is as good as Booker is NOW

and yes that’s dumb.

 

[Finito]

Listen I love Herro.

but he’s had 1 great game...1 other than that he’s been a solid role player for them. Now guys on here talking bout Luka and Booker and how he’s right there with em. Seriously?

this is prisoner of the moment stuff for a white basketball player(fan favorite)

I understand that. That's why I gave the comparison some reality. Herro's stats for this season are similar to Booker's rookie stats.

This sounds a bit prejudiced to put it nicely. I don't see what race or skin color has to do with it.

Tyler Herro is legitimately a potential star in the making.

Here are some previous comments from Devin Booker.

Its because we laugh anytime a white guy is even remotely good at sports the over reaction becomes funny af to us. Of course YOU don’t see it that way.

A guy literally jumped on here and said “he’s as good as Devin Booker is right now” because he had one good game. Like I said I like him I really do, but if you can’t see how that’s laughable then I just don’t know what to tell ya.

“a fan favorite”

I don't see Tyler Herro as "a white guy is even remotely good at sports." When I look at Tyler Herro I see a heck of a good basketball player.

Maybe you should look at him that way as well instead of through the lens of skin color.

Everyone needs to examine what they say and why they say it.

You don’t see color?

I’ve heard that before.

No I don’t need to examine what I say because it’s true. This isn’t a new phenomenon.

Our difference, I don't care about skin color.

Apparently you do if you are making a big deal out of a basketball player that happens to be white being good.

oh I’m not making a big deal.

I’m not the one comparing him to Luka and saying he’s as good as Devin Booker is right now lol.

that would be Y’all.

Wanna keep going or what?

At least you are off skin color. That's a start. Skin color has nothing to do with Tyler Herro being a good basketball player.

Billy Donovan will be paid $24 million plus over 4 years to coach the Bulls.

Good for Paul Millsap turning his training facility into a voting center.

Do we know if Booker is in Southern California now or recently? Sounds like he fits the description of the source... haha.

Dwight Howard starts tonight for Lakers. Anthony Davis aggressive early with 10 points.

Murray with 6 points for Nuggets.

Lakers lead early 12-9.

 

[Mainstreet]

Nuggets can't keep Dwight Howard off the boards. He has 8 points and 8 rebounds.

Millsap received two early fouls so the Nuggets need more size inside.

 

[Mainstreet]

How is that a foul on Jerami Grant against Lebron.

 

[Mainstreet]

Dwight Howard and Anthony Davis is the best argument I have seen for a traditional lineup.

Of course Lebron is not small either.

Hmmmm

Houston gets: Embiid, Josh Richardson

Philly gets: James Harden

it works money wise. Who says no? Houston has gone as far as they can go. There in cap hell and traded away a million draft picks. This gives them a chance to hit to reset button with a 26 year old franchise player

Philly gets Harden. Point Harden, Tobias and Simmons running running and gunning would be serious players out East. Putting Simmons in a running offense would unleash him and play to his strengths. He’s not a half court guy that he’s forced to be with Embiid.

Nuggets cuts Lakers lead at the end of 3rd quarter to 3.
