The NBA is the best league because a notorious headcase who just got in trouble for threatening a reporter can spit his mouthguard at a mediocre player while yelling SUCK MY DICK, and people will get mad at the other guy for complaining about it

chunkles posted:

the back surgery kinda hosed up his career but it's hard to watch harden/capela run pick and rolls and think the rockets being offensively unwatchable was anything but a result of his insistence on being a big time post scorer.

Yes, but stars often have a hard time accepting reality.. Dwight expected to be a star and showcased when he signed with us, and many reasons caused this to not be the case, thus his unhappiness since his expectations were unmet.

Could Dwight have adapted? Yes.. so he failed himself, but who, besides dwight, thought he had that mental capability to be that introspective? He was a superstar who thought he was still recovering from a series of injuries, and had even just come off a conference final. I don't think it was reasonable for him to consider the problem was him yet, there were still reasonable excuses and there were still validations in his mind.

So coaches and gm could have known more about him and manage him better, as is their job..

Like it seems like I am minizing personal responsibilities, especially since we don't know the day to day stuff, but dwight met my expectations of him and of athletes in general, but the rockets failed my expectation for managing talent, so I defend dwight and place blame on them.

back in the Hakeem days, mattress mac used to come to my uncles work, and he tells them rockets inside stories. I don't remember much of what my uncle repeated to me, but one stuck to me about how the team was more selfish now and didn't really like each other like before.. I don't even remember if my uncle said this before the the rockets failed, or if he was ranting about it to explain why they lost. him and my dad get drunk and argue poo poo like this, and my uncle is a known liar and braggart. and its a standard generic explanation, but it stuck with me anyways.

Noel's value is so weird. People are saying someone will give him a 15+ million /yr dollar contract next year but also he isn't valuable enough for someone to give up any assets for. I don't understand how some team will blow that much cap space on him, but another wouldn't see the value of getting his bird rights. Is he just one of those strange in-between guys we don't have a good sense of value for yet, or is there something else that's strange?

I feel like this is one of those "76ers have no leverage!" situations where they are ignoring the fact that any team that wants him still has to bid against every other team in the league that thinks he has value.

I think the issue with Noel is that Center feels like a position that has a glut of talent out there. There are competent guys popping up all the time.

you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

a literal thing you think.

One could probably get good odds on Boogie having a police encounter in the next month.

I woke up early with strange leg cramps and realized what needs to happen on the NBA trade market

The nets need to trade Brook Lopez for a first round pick, Greg Monroe, and Nerlens Noel. Noel can play nominal pf but protect the rim. Rebuild's on, Sean Marks is a genius, everyone is happy.

The Kings could also use Nerlens in theorem
The Pacers too, any team with a ground


bound low post center
But as you 've said why trade for someone who'll be a restricted free agent and who's barely played. Might as well let his value stagnate so you can pay him a low low low wage unlike his high high hair. Haitian NBA players need motivation, love, and care. That's not raxial science, empirical fact

I also had an idea for the sacro kings, only recruit blood affiliated players in free agency. Sure there's the possibility of set tripping but I think it wil lwork better than their current strategem

While pondering Dragic I realized that I forgot that he played in Houston for a "cup of coffee" in between Phoenix stints. I think I've never seen a player develop and hold such a good reputation after of one extreme outlier good year but I'm glad he's finally playing well after last year's woes. Send him to Philadelphia

The Pacers lost, but they looked ok doing it. Offense was good at least, and that can get real ugly. Lots of good passes and hitting shots. More of that please.

I'm mum on the defense.

I've said this before about Meyers, but he required a Coach at every practice to walk/run beside him to help remember how to run drills. I'm surprised he knows how to put his shorts on the correct way, much less that he knows how to speak into that mic.

Yelling "Suck my Dick" at the opposing bench is probably a tech under the taunting rules (which are dumb)

But if you score 55 points I'm cool with the refs letting it go.
