If Dion signs with the Knicks it will at the very least be super entertaining watching him hoist 15 jumpers a game

MourningView posted:The headlines are dramatic, and I don't think he's history worst monster or something. I'm just saying he legitimately didn't handle it very well and made it more painful than it needed to be. People would have been dumb and mad either way but in this case there's at least a little justification. In my final calculations he left for a worse team. Albeit a team in a much weaker conference which means more chances at the finals or at least conference finals, which means more chances for endorsement money. There's also a mountain of money in Boston for him to befriend so that he can make even more money. It's probably a real life wash, but to me it looks like him leaving a better team for a worse one in an easier conference. Boston is the George Karl Nuggets and the meh Tobias Harris if he's lucky rookie and their undersized energy pf from last year don't add up. I would understand if it was about the basketball styles, but Quin Snyder seems to want to play a passing heavy everybody involved system, different in some major ways from Brad Stevens's, but not in bedrock philosophy. Rubio, Hood, Burks, Johnson, Ingles, Diaw, Favors, Gobert, Because of defense, shooting, and playmaking up and down the lineup, have a higher ceiling than Thomas, Bradley, Smart, Crowder,, Hayward, Brown, Horford, Tyler Zeller Which is what we had last year, except that they'll have a true small forward to score and handle the ball when IT is out because he's being killed on defense. IT is sort of like Andre Drummond in that, during a crunch time playoff situation, you have to take him out of the game if you're in the lead. That's brutal Of course my comparison rests on Utah staying healthy. If Dante Exum could do anything at all, that would be nice. It seems pretty clear he's never going to a pg, maybe he can keep shooting threes and become a strong defender. dokmo posted:he shot 34% in the previous two seasons I would give him a pass because those were insanely dysfunctional Byron Scot 48 mpg Kobe teams. What he did last year was like what he did in Philadelphia. I think that's Swazhay Puh in a decent enviornment, I could be wrong, but I believe it to be true Dejan Bimble fucked around with this message at 19:45 on Jul 5, 2017 |

dokmo posted:he shot 34% in the previous two seasons I'd say his production under Luke's system is a better predictor than under Byron's system Under Byron he was encourage to create his own shot (when he was on the court), under Luke he was encouraged to spot up. 2 years ago, 60% of his 3s were assisted, last year it was 90% which is close to his average with the Wizards The Glumslinger fucked around with this message at 19:45 on Jul 5, 2017 |

At some point you have to figure it out what's best and sacrifice. And that's on the coach/the best players on the team to do so. That's the price of doing the whole super team thing to try and win a conference or win a title.

quote:The two-time FIBA Basketball World Cup winner has called on players worldwide to support FIBA’s new competition calendar, describing it as ‘win-win for players, fans, national federations, leagues and clubs.’ “Representing your country is the ultimate honor and I know that many of you feel the same way. The new calendar means that, for the first time, they (players) will have one free summer in every four-year cycle, reducing the pressure and providing the time needed to rest and recover from an already arduous schedule. It is really important that the new global calendar will also create opportunities and help develop new talent by enabling younger players from more countries to play international basketball.” FIBA seems mad at euroleague quote:Ben Standig: Otto Porter update: The Sacramento Kings contingent, including Vlade Divac, just left meeting at David Falk’s office. #Wizards Cool Buff Man posted:Stop making little snippy posts at me old man, it's tiring Man you're the king of snippy posts.

I agree but you also have to actually make the finals to win it and he's a lot more likely to do that in Boston. In theory they also have assets to get another star player, assuming Danny doesn't just hug them tight and draft some dude who can't shoot but has good brain scan numbers.

The Glumslinger posted:I'd say his production under Luke's system is a better predictor than under Byron's system Two seasons of 34% shooting versus a recent season of 40% shooting. Sounds like a good opportunity for a bet! My proposal: if Nick Young shoots below 38% during the 17-18 regular season, I win the bet; if he shoots 38% or better I lose the bet; if he doesn't attempt more than 100 threes the bet is off (regular season only for all this). The bet winnings goes to charity, the winner of the bet gets to name the charity. Who wants to take me up on a 100% chance to help a charity and a smaller chance to make me look foolish?

Part of the reason Hill was so perfect for Utah is that he was really good off the ball and it let Hayward run the offense a lot. I also disagree with you on George, he's really good off the ball and would have been great for them. Butler less so.

honestly George is probably at his best off the Ball. Him and Westbrook are a pretty great fit.

dokmo posted:Two seasons of 34% shooting versus a recent season of 40% shooting. Sounds like a good opportunity for a bet! You had a point about Otto Porter because his sample size is small relative to years, but Nick Young is a career above-average 3-point shooter. It's not like he's suddenly learned to shoot, he's shot 38-40% in previous seasons.

In terms of fit, I'd probably rank the 3 dudes George-Butler-Hayward. However, Hayward was the easiest for them to get so here we are.
