I have literally only posted facts and linked actual content when discussing Zo
stay hating on me tho bby
Brad Stevens is too good for your franchise
If we pass on Lonzo assure me your team will not break his bones with whatever growth hormones you guys end up giving to your players
Ball dynasty about to get paid
What?

30 for 30 tonight gonna be lit
I think he was referring to the team's defensive culture. PG13 being on KD would help a lot tho still
well that's just mean
I'll get back to you after we 4-peat

Will the Lakers:Cz 30 for 30 end with Metta's epic 3 and Bill Simmons crying on his laptop as confetti falls on his head at Staples?

He's a great defender but the problems the Cavs have on defense are really more about coaching than personnel. Even if we're talking about the players alone, he wouldn't cover up for the deficiencies Kyrie, JR and (yes) Lebron have on that end. And I think that Love defends the 4 better than Tristan does the 5, so they would subtract one of their (somehow) better defenders. And without Love, the Cavs don't offer much of an threat on the offensive board, so their transition defense will get even more exposed. I don't like the fit.
Ray 8 threes 32 points game 2. Game 3 0-13 from the field for 2 points... Thanks mang.

Besides the obvious legends, how many of these are people you actually recognize?

Ugh, he's why they lost x would have won too
He also got shitted on by Kobe in the 4th
Celtics vs Lakers 2020 hype
breh they aren't nobodies just because they played before you were born.
Almost everyone on that list was a star either in college, the pros, both, or overseas winning a lot.
They ain't nobodies because you don't fuckin know em
That's like me saying who knows Andre Tippett because I ain't get to see him play
It's the basketball hall of fame for christ's sake
LOL at that being the respectable way to build. Why?
I don't like all the stars on one team and just 2 super teams as much as the next guy but I hate hate hate this notion that only GMs and FO can build a team through the draft. Or that it is the right and respectable way.
Also Spurs tanked a season to land TD and both teams also had to get very lucky to land the right guys in the right spot. This being the only way or the right way is nonsense.
It's the basketball HoF, not the NBA HoF.

Dat lack of rim protection.
I disagree I think Tatum is gonna be a star and Issac is gonna be another Marvin Williams
They count your college and international career too, outside of the international only players and some guys from before the 80s I know all of them

That just may be what they end up with.
Off the bench they would have:
Smart/Bradley/Fultz/Rozier/Jackson for the back court
Zizac and Yubo for frontcourt help.
They just need 1 more big to stretch the floor (I'm assuming Oly is gonna get paid as a restricted FA) and 1 more scorer off the bench. Rudy Gay would fit perfect here if they can get him on the cheap.
I'll give you rim protection
Melo is the exact player the Cavs need to avoid, lol

Who is available that gives that these days?
Big Ben Wallace is not walking through that door....
Dedmon is really the only true defensive minded player with a high upside available, but everyone knows it and he is going to get paid.....

Jaylen Brown for Mozgov
Nah, Mozgov and Luol Deng should surely do it though!

I love how everyone hangs on every player tweet and favorite, especially when it comes to trades, as if the players are in the negotiating room with the GM. Andre Drummond would probably be the last guy to know within the org if he got traded.

Watching Issac, he's like 19 and if he becomes Marvin Williams that's honestly fine, Williams has been around consistently since 2005, that's nice. I hope Issac does well, dude can play the 3,4, or 5 if he bulks up which he inevitibly will.
Tatum's game is too old fashioned for today I feel
Drummond PG Hayward Fultz would be a respectable offseason.

Drummond, Fultz, and Hayward.
Sign me up.
They would still need another big though because the "hack a Drummond" would get real old, really quick.
