Away all Goats posted:My only hang up about the Ibaka trade is that didn't he get traded because he wasn't getting enough touches in OKC? Can't imagine Lowry/DeRozan are gonna be moving the ball much more than WB/KD. Idk if Lowry/DeRozan are going to move the ball more; how are they on the all important prima donna scale?

That trade happened before KD announced he was gonna be a bitch No way did he know, KD didn't even know. edit- I think that trade might have ironically backfired for Presti's intentions wanting to bring Oladipo, who was supposedly a KD protege, into the fold and influenced KD even more to leave. Wanda Durant saidthat KD wanted more veterans to push for a title. Mr. Mambold fucked around with this message at 02:56 on Feb 15, 2017 |

I'm of the opinion that as Ibaka's once superior athleticism continues to evaporate (because he's 35  ), he'll turn into a boring stretch 4 that can easily be found for half the cost.

If you think this is a stealth tank, holding out Simmons would do the opposite. He's a ball-dominant point forward who needs to get used to NBA speed and no shot to fall back on. They'd lose be worse this year with him in the lineup.

No, I'm leaning more towards Colangelo is lying about injuries, but really I have no idea so if you have a theory I'd love to hear it. I am not being facetious. It looks like the earliest Simmons is going to be back will be 22-24 weeks and now people are speculating that he might sit out all year. So what's the Occam's razor explanation for why a 20 year old athlete would need to sit out an entire season for a 6-8 week injury suffered in training camp?

Not everyone's bodies behave the same, and you tend to be cautious with young players if they don't appear to be healing properly. Especially foot injuries. I don't know why anyone would lie about the injury. Do you think he has a worse injury or they are holding him out on when they don't need to? There really isn't a reason to do either of those things, so I am guessing its just being cautious with a very tall human's feet.

Holding Embiid out forever paid off, they are probably inclined to follow that same path again for Simmons.

I can't imagine they are holding Simmons out deliberately when he is ready to go. Being overly cautious perhaps sure, but sitting him when he is healthy makes no sense. They need to see him play with Noel and Okafor asap to see what to do about that situation.

When ankles start to deteriorate, they get worse exponentially. You can talk to EvanTH about it. They are very difficult to fix once they really get worn and smashed up, see Williams, Deron. It's not a joint to be cavalier with. It's the sixers so it could be fake, but there are lots of legitimate ankle injuries that need to heal for a long time before putting a 6'8 man's full weight running, cutting, and jumping.

dokmo posted:Yes. I don't know if they had the assets to do it, but imagine how much better Memphis would look in the near term, had they traded for Gallo rather than maxing out Chandelier Parsons. Or even traded for Wilson Chandler rather than maxing Chandler Parsons. What would it have cost them, salary matching and the Wade Baldwin pick? How's this franchise going to go on without Wade Baldwin, the 8 foot wingspan guy who can't make a layup Away all Goats posted:My only hang up about the Ibaka trade is that didn't he get traded because he wasn't getting enough touches in OKC? Can't imagine Lowry/DeRozan are gonna be moving the ball much more than WB/KD. I realize that every NBA owner except maybe the Buss family trust and the teachers union or the yellow pages ad brokerage that owns the raptors is a piece of poo poo, but the Devoses are real pieces of poo poo who objectively want to make education worse for most american kids, so gently caress them.

There was talk Simmons was going to miss the season as soon as the injury happened but that it was Rich Paul forcing it. Maybe it's just what they wanted and thought he'd be an easy scapegoat. I mean, normally I would think this is a red flag but the Philly players have missed seasons and mostly come in at the same developmental level as if they have been playing somehow so I think they've almost earned a pass, even though normally you want a guy playing as many minutes as he can physically handle early on.

You know the 48fps that peter jackson used to film the new hobbit movies that was just too high resolution and made all the props look like childrens toys and the sets flickering styrofoam? That's the only resolution that would properly pick up Lebron's incredible telekinetic reads and adjustments

Can't imagine Lowry/DeRozan are gonna be moving the ball much more than WB/KD. Presti & Donovan promised Serge an increased role on offense, but it ended with Adams and Kanter taking most of his touches that weren't catch and shoot opportunities. Serge's last two playoff runs up to the WCF have been pretty impressive, despite his regular season malaise. The big threats to put in a 4 year max offer for Serge could be like Minnesota or Brooklyn, but I think Serge will take a discount in exchange for a 5th year on a good team. Toronto still might need to dump Carroll and maybe CoJo to avoid the tax, but I don't think Serge is going to command a 5-year max at all.
