I dont get Hill either. Given the state of the Western conference, they don't have a prayer of making the playoffs. So they should be tanking. They don't own their 2019 pick, so this next years draft is their best chance at getting a good player.

There's really not a lot to get Yeah, they have 3 decent sophmore players and 5 rookies. Unless they want to commit to the buzzsaw multi year lower lotto strat, it is probably best to see if they can develop some of these younger guys. If that doesn't work, they could easily flip Hill for a 1st next year.

Bosh gets paid regardless and he could've forced the Heat to just waive him last year (he already got paid $25mio last season to 'do nothing'). This is pretty much the official end of his NBA career so yeah, I'm pretty sure he feels like poo poo.

Too much money to splash. Shoulda spent more on Zbo type players before talking to Hill's agent who probably laughed and was like yeah you guys aren't strapped for cash right now, 19 mil per year please.

Dexo posted:Is Hayward more of a carry or support type dota player. quote:GH: I like playing both of the solo lane roles. I started out playing top more than anything, and then I transitioned into more of a mid role. I don't like playing tanky champions, and that's why I kind of got out of top lane a little bit because for a while there it was pretty much just tanks. I kind of get bored doing that, so I transitioned to mid, and I also play AD Carry — I'm not really good at support or jungle, so I usually try to stick to those three. I can play all the roles, but I'm the best at those three. does this make Bosh the world's highest paid lifestyle blogger

Metapod posted:Who do you want presti to put his target on out of curiosity why, our old friend Jeff Green of course. Actually, anyone who can make a 3 and move their feet on defense. Patrick Patterson, James Johnson, Jonas Jerebko all fit the bill. Who knows if Gay can still play. If he can't play or re-injures himself, you're pretty much left with Jerami Grant and McDermott at the 4, which is a disaster for a team trying to be as good as possible for one season.

leftist heap posted:Golden State being so deep into the tax potentially for a long time is pretty interesting because Lacob for all his talk is probably one of the least wealthy owners in the league. He's barely richer than Michael Jordan. And unlike the other Just Billionaire owners in the league his net worth is almost certainly driven by a ton of inflated tech bubble crap (unlike other guys who get their wealth from blue chip poo poo and commodities). Who knows what his entire portfolio is like but his most recent high profile investments are some trumped up Fitbit thing aimed at athletes (for which he is personally invested) and a company that makes this thing: Lacob may have the right mindset/past history to pay the exorbitant tax $$$. Unlike some of the more frugal billionaires who will blowup legit contenders. nachos posted:Wait when did I miss Otto Porter becoming good Excellent FG shooting starting last year.

Iggy was in great shape and played well in the playoffs, especially the finals. He's going to be a year older but I doubt he's falling off a cliff next year His numbers are clearly on the decline. Each of the last three years his playoff/finals numbers have shrunken further. If AI2 retires the GSW will still be dominant championship contenders. leftist heap posted:So if the new look OKC and Rockets meet in the finals this year, who wins? The series was, overall, pretty close when it came down to it. The Rockets win that one. CP3 and Harden playing the interchangeable PG/SG roles confusing other teams.
