Guess the 2016 draft being crap makes me feel better about Denzel Valentine being crap.

Yeah, I hate the Papa John pick but I take some solace in the fact that the other guys I thought we'd take are all doing jack squat. WCS regressing while a bunch of people after him are doing well hurts though

Cool Buff Man posted:It's important to be able to shoot the ball into the hoop in the game of basketball, therefore I would take the Rockets roster sans Harden vs the OKC roster sans Westbrook Yeah. Literally all the Thunder would be able to do is Iso Oladipo, Adams/Oladipo PnRs and post up Kanter. Just typing that out made me physically feel pain.

The only lottery players that I thought would look much better than they have are Dunn and Hield. The fact that Ingram was number one on people's boards is so mind blowing. The lack of instant impact is why I thought a long term project like Bender should have gone so much higher.

Any Sacramento area Kings fans want to go with me to the game on Friday? I assume there are some here you just never post.

big boi posted:But how do you define "valuable"? A person's value is calculated by summing up how much would one would pay for one night with that person + the amount one would pay to stop one's worst enemy from having the same. This can lead to wildly fluctuating assessments of the same person's "value" from subject to subject and is why we refer to seemingly random, unverifiable and useless answers as "value judgments".

People laughed when I posted grainy footage of Joel Embiid taking free throws, but they're not laughing now, are they. The Ben Simmons hype train is leaving the station and it's time to hop on board!

Being wrong is the worst thing possible which is why it' sso bold and daring to make lots of dangerous predictions, like: in 2 years the Sixers will make the playoffs

The key to being wrong is to keep doubling down on it until ESPN signs you to do studio analysis e: OK if a little fluffy piece on the Rockets: https://theringer.com/inside-daryl-morey-and-mike-dantoni-s-houston-basketball-laboratory-8f5ccb6c6302#.mxojp7mme

Or higher like at a higher number? I watch the Suns almost as much as the Lakers and Ingram already is playing well most nights on one side of the floor at least, whereas Bender arguably shouldn't be on the floor at all.

I was definitely calling Kevin Durant "The American Giannis" almost immediately but it might have only been in the super secret private basketball thread chat room that only select posters are allowed in. If you're wondering how to get in to the chat room don't worry it's not a real room this is just a joke I'm making we're not really in there most days

Lockback posted:Really? The Thunder are the 7th seed, so a bit below them? I don't see how a team of Beverly/Gordon/Ariza/Anderson/Capela is a .500 team at all, I'd think that team would be closer to the Mavericks. Maybe a .333 win percentage. Guys like Gordon, Ariza and Capela are having good seasons BECAUSE of Harden. You start asking those guys to carry the team I think they all turn into pumpkins. That team would be fine if Gordon stayed anywhere near his current production with more minutes. I think they'd be the clear 8-seed above the Kings/Blazers/Pelicans tier. That said, I agree with your general point that Harden is the MVP and the sole reason they are in shouting distance of the 1-seed. And much thanks to Dokmo for the answers to my questions.

I think you guys are underestimating how hard it is to get to get the 8th seed. Look at last year's teams and honestly say if the current Rockets with replacing Harden with Beverely is remotely a playoff team.

Sacramento is going to lock up that 8th seed at 37 wins once they trade Rudy for Brandon Knight or Goran Dragic

But you cannot tell me this. I won’t accept it.”
