DSJ owned Fox so hard in the first q that he quit for the rest of the game. Are people going to poop on him in this thread as hard they did Ball?

I don't see how it is possible for Melo to play in NY at the start of the season. Talks had allegedly been tabled til next week hours before the Perry hire. Possibly, as a courtesy to the new GM.

Not even a q, worse in every possible way At the very least if the warriors don't feel like paying a billion dollars in luxury taxes in 2019 Thompson is an hugely valuable trade asset

Man. Now whenever I look at Derrick Rose highlights I only see how he lands poorly like every single time. https://twitter.com/TommyBeer/status/885686705994571776 Edit: Wait. People don't think Paul George is better than Klay Thompson. Is this the world we are living in? Dexo fucked around with this message at 04:28 on Jul 14, 2017 |

Were they even having trade talks with Cleveland or is this just an attempt to beef up the trade value of a guy who will only waive his no trade clause for two teams, one of which isn't even interested in him

As much as I hated Rose I still love that he jammed with both hands. Not enough people dunk with two hands for safety in transition like that. A double handed stuff is the best.

They've been looking for and trying to acquire additional wings all offseason. And the Cavs have enough garbage salaries on the roster to give the Knicks if the Knicks only goal is to dump Melo, If the Knicks are actually asking for assets in return it's probably a no from the Cavs.

My favorite thing will always be a dude trying to their down a meaty dunk only for it to bang off the back of the rim and fly into the backcourt

But I would also think about trading Tristan if I were the Cavs. I would most assuredly not trade Love. Edit I lied. The Real comedy option is Tristan, JR, and Shump, for Melo and Noah.

Thompson was Cleveland's second leading WS guy last season. The Cavs suck!Metapod posted:I just want to put on record that I do want that goon to die via nuclear bomb dropped on LA My roster is currently full in the GM thread but I'm thinking about clearing a spot in order to draft a nuclear weapon that we will detonate in LA, thereby pushing the world to the brink of global war.

The FO literally said there were no other draftable players they had on their boards so they felt ok selling the pick.

Dexo posted:Man. Now whenever I look at Derrick Rose highlights I only see how he lands poorly like every single time. I was talking with my brother earlier today about the Rose comparisons. I don't think I have ever seen a player irl as fast as DRose. I haven't seen Smith play in person and players always seem faster when you are actually there. However, I don't know if he is quite as fast as prime Rose. The way Smith glides to the rim past players is amazing. Even if Smith doesn't reach MVP Rose levels of awesome, he will still be the best Mavs pg/draft pick in a long time. I think he has a massive ceiling but prime Rose was so much fun to watch. Then again I'm having fun watching Smith in the summer league so maybe he will be more exciting one day

I don't think speed was what made Rose standout special as it was more of his insane creativity and body control when attacking the paint. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s21OR5vmJMQ

PG is better than Klay but Klay might be better for that role. PG would be taking shots from Steph and Durant and I don't think that's a good idea. PG would be better on defense but they don't really need that either. GSW would be better by keeping the roster continuity.

It depends entirely if PG is better at guarding Irving than Klay. Klay can legit guard point guards, I don't remember George being assigned on 1's. Paul George is a way better ball handler than Klay. The warriors offense goes into a train wreck every time Klay initiates the offense outside of transition.

Would you have put PG13 in as a SG in that lineup? Klay was stopping a ton of Kyrie's drives, his defense was fantastic during the finals.
