And the white Shohei too

LaCrosse James

It’s pretty funny that people still think he was hired solely because he went to MSU. Let’s ignore his 10+ years of experience in the NBA, I guess.

There’s a reason why Kings fans wanted Jordi as our coach even though Mike Brown had 2 relatively successful seasons as our coach.

He’s just a filler coach for you guys and you’ll find one that fits for the team soon.

He plays with zero force

Had him as 16th best player in the league lmao

He is nowhere near Rudy as a defensive force.

but he won DPOY

How the hell did he get 2nd team All-NBA honestly

i got tons of shit for saying OG is a better, more impactful player

that’s donovan clingan’s ceiling

Bill Simmons doesn’t watch basketball

Middle class JJJ

Gobert w a 3 is a max player lol

2-3 years ago I thought he’d be like prime Amare on the offensive end with how much potential he has but he doesn’t feel as reliable.

That’s a name I haven’t heard in years and can’t remember exactly how he played lol.

There’s been a section of NBA media that’s been REALLY high on him for years

Like not just thinking he’s a good player thinking he’s a future all-time great

ringer has monopolized a lot of nba fanbase. they’re very high on mobley so you see fans lean towards that. like if you listen to their pods, you’ll see that they influence a lot of nba discussion

the media thinking he was that better than scottie was insane!

I was at a game with prime AD and remember thinking “hmm AD has hit a few jumpers but he’s been pretty quiet right?” Then checked the statsheet and he had like 45 points.

Smooth is a good word for it. Scoring came very easily for him when he was young and healthy, nothing needed to be forced because he couldn’t really be guarded.

The same could’ve been said last year when he was playing way better then Barnes. This year he’s really playing worse compared to last year

It actually is b/c he’ll have missed the requisite games

I heard they want to get off the Garland contract so not really.

He has 0 years left

They can’t even aggregate salary in a trade so no

The goal of NBA teams is to make money. First and foremost. Winning is nice, but most teams arent going to be able to compete for a decade. This era of the Cavs is ending. Why not make some money for 2 to 3 years of LeBron’s return?

If you are gonna break up the core (they have to) might as well.

Garland’s main issue is health. If you think you can keep him healthy, he’s got one of best efficiency in the league as a primary ball-handler.

He’s not a #1 or #2 on a contender, but he can be a #3.

Someone will probably bite on the upside of Garland being a primary ball handler and give 2 1sts AT LEAST. It’s harder than you think to find PGs that can average ²⁰⁄₇ with 40% from 3 on high volume.

You could’ve maybe given them the expectation of getting to the ECF last year but you have to be trolling if you expected them to be in the ECF in 2024 lol. Either way, the team has several players that struggle with injuries and that alone is enough of a red flag to necessitate a reshuffling of the roster. You need more able-bodied players on the team and they did the opposite by trading for Zo.

No they need to get out of the second apron to give the team a runway to be able to succeed. One pieces has to go in order to get out of the second apron

It is if you actually watched them. Cavs won 64 games cause Ty Jerome would randomly turn into an All-Star guard out of nowhere. He is no longer there

Zach Lowe and friends still think Mobley is gonna turn into a MVP player. They don’t watch

The Magic’s style is a damn near perfect counter to New York

Pistons are legit contenders this season what an insane statement. Cade can be the best player on the court. Can’t force him into a corner because of the complete game. So get that along with the team make up. The Magic are such a weird team. Desmond Bane is my sim league god so I’ve been watching them a bit this season on the side. I think the Knicks offense will just out score the Magic. Kat is gonnnna kill WCJ and Butdaze all day anytime they switch. WCJ legit looks slow. Suggs also got the same problem against strong quick guards. He can’t help himself with the fouls became of how he plays. I think Knicks win that in 6 and Allan Houston and LJ are my mortal enemies.

Those teams dont have enough offense imo

It’s the way they lost. It wasn’t a competitive series. Game 4 in particular was over in the 2nd quarter. Pacers smoked them and to me, they still haven’t recovered

You can say the same thing for the Cavs having to play Thomas Bryant and Luke Travers (as much as it pains me as an Aussie fan). Dean Wade has regressed this year and CPJ had a rough game.

This is Garlands 9th game of the year. He went from averaging 20+ 47% from the field 40% from 3 to 13 34 and 34 he’s a little rusty it’s probably going to take some time to get into game shape if he can even stay healthy with his toe. The rest of the team though don’t have much of an excuse.

Look, im a big Sam Merrill truther but honestly Strus is the bigger x-factor for their offense.

Really? Or did they just scapegost JB considering he only had the core four for kess than a quarter of the season in his last year?

Calling Mitchell a non problem is funny. He takes so many bad theee point shots at the worst times I would trade him and whatever I could for Giannis. Because that would at least stop them from shooting so many thrres
