You will probably gain more with another big in lineups to help with D, and not let the bench flounder completely. I think all 3 will play in crunch, but in general it'll make more sense to keep at least 1 out there all the time.

Letting Melo ball out against 2nd teams seems like free points to me, honestly.

So this confuses me with the Aldridge situation.

I look at all these trash players moving for big names and I think why couldn't the Spurs move him to get a big name?

And then I realize maybe he's the big name you receive the trash players for.

I don't understand how he was hard to move. He's better than Kanter and it's not like he's making Otto Porter money.

Guys Basketball is really good????

The San Antonio spurs are going to be the 4th best team in their conference this is absolutely hilarious. Golden state is going to have to play OKC, SAS or Houston in the 2nd round lmaoooo.

Meanwhile the Cavs get to play 3 teams of literal children wearing kneepads.

If healthy, possible home court advantage. The east is not only bad, like half their "good teams" are also injured pretty badly.

The "not wanting to trade him to an east team" is for sure Dolan right? Like who the gently caress cares if your team has to play him a few more times. It's nuts that something so petty effects trade value.

There are 4 teams in the west that I could honestly see winning 60 games and that's insane to me.
