The 25th pick candidacy opened up a lot over the course of the combine. We're going to have to wait and see who excels in finally team work outs.

Depends on who is still available but if Jaren Jackson or Porter jr are still on the board I would go for them. Mainly because they have the most star potential to build around in the case of Bron leaving.

It's 100% a reasonable stance.

I didn't assume most of you thought you were part of a team you aren't. I didn't think so many thought in such a delusional manner.

Very few do, if any.

Thing is, you came here judging and insulting people you know nothing about, just because they enjoy/do something you don't understand.

This is not the gaming side, folks here will not let you get away with it.

If you need to insult people to feel better about yourself, go do it somewhere else.

Porter is huge question mark if he's available Cavs gotta take him.

Miles Bridges is a guy I like a lot and I can see him in Cleveland as my most safe pick at 8. Sexton and Trae in Cleveland with Ty Lue is career damaging.

You keep saying I haven't posted here before. I have.

Then you assume I should know that most people think they are part of the team when I don't post frequently in this thread?

Your logic is broken.

Also I was referring to the use of we in that people associate themselves as part of the team. You never have nor will you ever be part of the team. That is not me being on a high horse, that's reality.

Yikes.

Yikes yikes yikes.

Who am I attacking if Very few actually think like that? I'm simply stating those with delusions they are somehow a part of something they are not need to seek help. These delusions form for a reason and the most common reason is that real life is not enough.

Thus the advice to get a life coach and be better. People with these delusions need help, they don't need to continue to live vicariously through a corporation that plays basketball.

Why do you feel attacked if you don't have these delusions? You should just agree and move on.

Some are exposing more than this wish to I think.

Lonzo's defense was definitely suspect (probably was his #1 listed weakness coming out of college). I really think defense in college is about effort and less about skill. Most kids don't get drafted high because they are defensive specialists, offense is what sells tickets and gets you max contracts. It's another reason I don't hold Ayton's defense against him this season.

He was actually a good defender in college

Made all Pac defense and was the defensive anchor for UCLA

the rest of his UCLA team was bad at defense, not him

People took the Fox dropping 39 as him being bad at defense, even though on possessions where he primarily defended Fox, Fox only got like 11 points

Maybe I'm wrong but I remember a lot of draft analysis saying he was going to get lit up on defense in the NBA because he isn't athletic enough to run with the premier PG's.

Tatum's defense was also considered a major problem coming out a college. Turns out that NBA coaches are better their their amateur counterparts. Weird how that works!

Of course, KAT became a worse defender in the NBA, even with a defensive mastermind as his coach so... who knows!

I am old and I am as clean as the driven snow on the court.

That said, that strategy works great for Chris Paul. Dude is like a fucking Jedi with the referees. Does the most blatant shit and rarely ever gets called for it. Even the players don't even seem to complain.

But we Lakers are not about that life. We always want the W but we gots to do it honorably.

Stop saying we, fam. We are not part of the team. I suggest you get a life coach and talk to therapist to rid yourself of these delusions.

To KAT's defense he came into a dysfunctional situation. Flip Saunders the coach passed and Sam Mitchell took over with his out dated style of coaching. Thibs comes in 2016 but the FO gives him drunken power.

We needed Edead in the rec tournament I played in last summer.

We made it to the finals but lost to a dude who must have taken all the steroids.

Even if I fouled him he was so strong he would just lift my ass off the ground. Dunked on me twice and with insane power.

We had to double and then they just buried us in 3s.

The lesson?

If you want to win then take steroids kids.

Not that off brand shit either. Get the good good.

Rockets somehow shot double the amount of free throws last night even with Harden only going to the line 5 times and shooting 11 more 3s as a team .

The problem with letting one team bully the other more is fatigue plays a big factor when shiet isn't called both way. Regardless of all that Warriors chocked last night but the discrepancy in free throws makes no sense whatsoever considering how both teams played .

I saw Magic pull up in a Bentley once with 5 women in it. Haha it was truly amazing to witness. He sat at a table next to me and had dinner with all 5 of them.
