Zogo posted:Cameron Payne, MCW, Rondo were three of the bottom ten worst shooters last season...all on the Bulls. Now they went out and got Dunn to make that FOUR of the top ten: Hahah that sounds so dire when you put it that way

Lockback posted:Oh, what a good example. Most of those players are becoming increasingly outmoded. Never gets old. Charlz Guybon posted:http://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/19657372/the-best-picks-every-nba-draft-slot Some of these are interesting. Pau Gasol ranks #2 in the #3 slot behind only Jordan. Lockback posted:Westbrook brought a team to the finals and the WCF a couple times with seasons shooting right around .300. That was KD.

Are they going to try to retain MCW at all? I can't imagine the market will be huge for him but teams are always looking for big PGs

SpiritOfSanDimas posted:Also in terms of future trajectory, given the rate at which KAT is improving I would say he's in position to have a better year next season, even if you thought Butler was better in 16-17 If KAT improves much more next year he'll be a legitimate MVP candidate. ketchup vs catsup posted:I used to work at a company connected to sports tickets. Lockback posted:Spurs were 17th in the league in 3 point shots made. They built an offense that featured the 3 point shot less than most other teams. That's what below-average means in this context. Percentages don't mean as much as actual shots going in the basket. When factoring in SAS 3P% they're #3 overall. That's significant. When comparing 3P vs. 3P% to ORtg it seems that 3P% is more important as it shares a .68 correlation with ORtg last year compared to a .51 correlation with 3P itself.

When we're talking about window closing/opening are we talking about title aspirations? MIN doesn't seem close. Metapod posted:Minnesota should not replace rubio with Lowry because that does not make them better and Lowry does not fit their timeline Lowry seems to have much stronger numbers.

I watched Donovan Mitchell several times, and I do like the dude, but also he was not really a point guard in college so there is going to be some learning curve there. ketchup vs catsup posted:I used to work at a company connected to sports tickets. Don't worry, Stubhub is there to make sure all those tickets sell for at least $20 dollars, which I guess is nice for teams maintaining fake sellouts, sucky for the families those $10 dollar seats the NBA mandated were meant for.

Are we really going with the dumb narrative that Westbrook held then back. I mean if you watched them play Durant did have an issue of being passive.

The shots are easier with GSW than with OKC. That Finals scoring stat proves that. That's why he left: to get easier shots. That's not a shot at Russ, just shows how great GSW already was.

This is amazing, pro-click. "Shorty is 120 years old. 120 BC though." I love Hassan Whiteside stories. quote:Hassan one time was flexing and admiring himself in front of a one-way mirror and the media was on the other side laughing their asses off without Hassan realizing. quote:Jason Jones covers the Kings and follows the team. After a year and a half with the Kings, Hassan was like "Hey Jason.... so why are you always here?" and Jason's like "What do you mean?" Hassan's like "Are you a really big fan or something? Why are you at all our games?" and Boogie, who was nearby, was like "Dude... what? Come on. He's the beat writer."

Super theoretical situation here. Let's assume that DWade and Melo both get bought out and the Cavs add them for basically nothing. Kyrie JR Lebron Love TT Wade Melo Ian Sjumpert Some scrub center they sign in the offseason Does that make them competitive against the Warriors?

If melo and wade are able to give LeBron rest without giving up any lead they have or keep any deficit they have then yes

Paul Zuvella posted:Super theoretical situation here. Wade was still alright in Chicago. Giving him minutes instead of Shumpert would be a big positive on offense, though I don't know who he'd guard. He's still pretty good at sniffing out passing lanes but he's been pretty slow otherwise. Maybe let him play PG off the bench. Melo is interesting too, because a Love/Melo/Lebron/JR/Kyrie lineup is a pretty good answer to the Draymond/Durant/Iggy/Klay/Steph lineup. Doesn't match perfectly but it'd probably be a step up what they had. I am also assuming Melo would work harder on D than he has in the recent past.
