Raps should sign and trade Lowry for Stan Van (contractually only allowed to coach), the 12th pick and Boban.

LeBron James Says He Will Own NBA Team After Retirement

Chandler

Len and Chandler are rebounding bigs in the Drummond mold already. I guess Len could walk and Chandler might have already been thrown away as very expensive benchwarmer, but I suspect they're thinking about Bender and Chriss being the front court of their future. Obviously it could be years before Bender is ready (or he might bust) but it's hard for me to see them wanting to add a big name centre with four years left on their contract when you have a high potential player you're trying to develop behind him.

Len is a decent NBA player once every 3 months, Chandler is in retirement, Bender is a 3/4 and Chriss is a 4. That being said I have higher hopes for Drummond this year, now that he has 2 nostrils. I think Reggie Jackson might be Brandon Roy-ed, his knees might be chewed up like a T bone in a gravel backyard with a pitbull who never gets taken for walks.

I would trade Bledsoe for 12 a million times. Bledsoe for 60% of the year is better than Terrance Ferguson for 100% of the year, probably better than whoever stan would pick.

Markannen/Jarret Allen/Bam Abedayo all have potential but are all troubly fits with Drummond.

They have to sign to KCP to a max this offseason, so the team is basically capped out for the next 3 years. They're 100% reliant on Drummond improving,KCP making shots consistently, and hitting the lottery with bad picks

Rockets fans want to sign him. Hell yeah let's get him and Nene back with Gordon & Anderson and rename the team to the Houston Bone on Bone. Maybe we can get a jersey sponsorship from advil

I would love the irony that Lebron's first ever serious injury is because he tried doing a practice session of league.

Lebron is going to own a team and only hire his friends and associates to run it. The media will freak out and local geezer writers will be upset that "basketball experts" aren't being hired. Then the team will win a million championships, Lebron will get a face tattoo of Adolph Hitler wearing dad jeans and Jordan will go into hiding in Sam Smith's basement.

I can agree with most of that except the Bender part. I feel like Bender as a SF is a horrific experiment destined for failure and I didn't know it was a thing, but who knows. Internet comments are telling me that the coaches gave it up after half a season but I don't really watch Suns games so I can't confirm.

It's by necessity because he weighs 90 lbs at 6'11, he was drafted early in the lottery because he has the potential to be a switchy playmaking 5 someday, it's going to take a while for him to bulk up

I hadn't finished this when I posted it, but you need to watch the sequence between 6:15-6:30

Scores off the glass then runs down the court blocks Bill Russell on the fast break

Also, at 7:35, a nice shot of Wilt shooting his freethrows underhand

You're right. Towards the end of the season he played more 4/5 and looked a lot better.

Len is bad, Chandler's old, Bender is probably another year away from being able to play NBA minutes. They have room for another big in their rotation.
