Garbage P

Pail George

I hear that dude is a walking bucket

I never understood why people thought Derozan was gonna drastically change the Lakers as opposed to Westbrook. either choice would’ve been bad but Lebron wanted a secondary playmaker and specifically wined and dined Westbrook to recruit him

the spacing still would’ve been awful with Derozan/AD/Lebron, not an off-ball player, not known for defense. I guess he would’ve had a better attitude than Westbrook but that’s about it

How tho? Spurs maybe but he carried the bulls to their only successful season in the last 11 years. And the Kings went from the 3 seed to 9 seed before he even got there

Why didn’t the nuggets just pay Watson the QO and then have Walmart pay him 100 million for a sponsorship? Are they stupid?

Giannis said he wasn’t either 🙃

Never forget Calvin Booth’s masterpiece:

Giving Reggie Jackson a contract with a player option, and then having to trade away 3 second round picks to dump Jackson after he picked up the option.

Honestly I’m not that mad with the return all things considered. That unprotected first is a legit asset they can use to hopefully bring in someone good next year. They got something valuable out of a shitty situation.

We can pay the f***ing players. Not saying Booth didnt play a part in these issues, but our owners are also just hella cheap. Franchise is probably worth 5Billion dollars and the owners are worth 20Billion. Theyre doing everything in their power to save 10million from the second apron instead of throwing money at the best thing to happen to this franchise.

What’s the point of buying a team if your only goal is to save money

didnt the wolves ownership offer him a % of the team. Hard to beat that

It’s not our fault their owners aren’t willing to pay up

Same tbh. Obviously they have gave us a lot losses since like 2023 but I still have a bit of sadness seeing someone as great as Joker on teams that have gone steadily downhill.

Also, I’m just here to watch and talk basketball. I’m not “going to war” with anyone’s flair. It’s just not anywhere near that serious. Lol.

Demar > THJ no doubt about that, but is he a better fit than THJ on that Nuggets team?

Demar is an ISO scorer and his bread and butter is the midrange game. THJ is a player that is a solid catch and shoot player that doesn’t need the ball in his hands to do damage and is coming off of a season where shot 40% from 3 on about 7 attempts a game.

So yeah, Demar is the better player but in terms of role with the Nuggets I think THJ is better

completely different roles

Not really a fair comparison since there’s no prohibitive 2nd apron before. Those teams keep their core for s lot longer

Fewest finals appearances. Moses Malone only won in 83 with Philly but went in 81 with the Rockets

Moses has 1, KG has 1, Giannis has 1, KD only has 2 because he joined the greatest team of all time, West has 1. Jokic seems on par with the players of his level all time especially considering we are in the 2nd apron era. OKC has already started shedding salary. And when Cason has to sign his contract, someone is gonna get traded again. When Wemby, Castle and maybe Harper are all on max deals, the Spurs are gonna get a lot less deep too. Knicks are also gonna cut some fat out too. Boston has done it too. Welcome to the financial asset era

you guys are spoilt by lebron and gsw. winning a title is extremely hard.

Idk man they aren’t dead in the water if they get DeRozan depending on the contract, as a bench player he’s elite.

That Braun contract looks terrible now but he had a bad injury and was still playing back into form. If they trade Cam Johnson for Herb Jones or someone more defensive which I think they will, logically, they’d in theory be very competitive on paper.

Murray, Braun, Herb Jones, Gordon, Jokic. Bench: DeRozan, Strus and Bagley are all 10-15 point scorers. I’d say that’s pretty competitive and deep

more like okc melo. melo was good on portland (2nd year) off the bench.

They might be able to read each other’s minds, and/or become the White Wonder Twins.

Yeah it doesnt sound bad, but definitely one of the worst max contracts pairing i can imagine that includes either luka or jokic

Lol yeah he sucks

pepole talking like being over the 2nd apron is common, but literally no one else is doing it either.

They just let one go actually
