Shear Modulus posted:I actually like it when JVG complains about flopping or objectively lovely reffing, and I thought he was on point in those areas. I like JVG. You won't learn much about basketball from him, but he'll make slow parts of the game entertaining. Jackson was better in the playoffs but I think its mostly because he shut up a lot more. So good on him, I guess?

Niwrad posted:Not sure the cap situation but I think Ryan Anderson would be a nice fit for Toronto. I seem to remember from the trade deadline that Anderson's profile is something like good shooter, good pick and roller, trash rear end defence, which to be honest doesn't really sound like what Toronto needs. I mean I guess better shooting would be useful for the starting 5 but I would think that "good defence to help keep Valanciunas on the floor" would be a bigger priority.

He's a great shooter, good in the low and high post (nifty footwork with a killer spin move backed up by a near-Dirk-level fadeaway), better-than-Kanter at defense, and a bit of a blackhole. He doesn't turn the ball over much, probably due to not passing much.

One phrase stuck with him: “Stay hungry, stay foolish.” Love started writing it on his shoes as a way to remind himself to loosen up — to not judge his performances on the statistics he was recording (which weren’t even close to his career numbers), but rather by the effort and energy he gave for tasks like rebounding and defense. “I had just ordered a shirt from a company in Akron with that Jobs quote,” Love said. “And then [LeBron] played that [speech] like two days later. I came up to him and was like, ‘It’s so crazy you played that with all the chaos that was going on with our team, being hungry, but being down in the series.”

Cool Buff Man posted:What the hell is it with warriors fans AggressivelyStupid posted:Been basketball fans for all of two years There's a big difference between  "Warriors Fans" and most of the Warriors posters here who have been riding the the ups and mostly downs of the team on this forum for over a decade. Lumping the former in with the people who had to live through the Kelenna Azubuike/Andris Biedrins and Troy Murphy/Adonal Foyle eras which were just a few short years apart is pretty disingenuous.

The Warriors losing opens a real possibility for Durant to sign with them in my eyes. I don't think he'd ever go to a team that already won a championship, you don't want to be seen as riding coat tails. But since they fell short... Free agency is going to be amazing.

I guess it's a little less coat-tails, but its not like GSW isn't still the odds-on favor for 2017 NBA Champion right now. Durant would still be joining Steph, Draymond and Klay's team. He might not give a poo poo, and I think he'd be hard pressed to find a better situation than OKC but I'm not sure the game 7 loss moves the needle all that much.

Russell Westbrook is better than all three of those players, though. e: the odds of KD doing anything other than signing a 1+1 are like 1%

the Jazz are a point guard away from being a legitimate mid-seed playoff team, I'd be very surprised if they traded away any of their rotation players at this point.

Who's going to be the first player to reportedly gain 15 pounds of muscle this summer? Parker? Randle? Meyers Leonard? Every power forward under the age of 27? Injury multipliers are in play for Anthony Davis and Eric Bledsoe
