I love me some Whiteside but this isn’t a battle he’s going to win. Embiid played 31 games and still got a bigger contract.

EvanTH posted:Who's the strongest man in the NBA? I think it might be one of the Lopez brothers. but there are also some squat non-jumping PFs that seem like reasonable candidates, your Zach Randolphs and David Wests. I'm not talking P4P here because comparing relative strength is meaningless, only the absolute is important. Neat or whatever that an insect can carry many times its body weight, but any normal human can still walk around despite being covered head to to in many thousands of bugs. In a measure of power production it would be Andre Drummond, in a contest of lifting heavy things around it would be some bowling ball 6'7 muscle master power forward, maybe Hebron . If it was in dunking ferocity, Aaron Gordon or Tony Mitchell of Metros De Santiago and formally North Texas

I'd say LeBron but only because he conspired with the league's masters to get the True strongest man in the league Dejuan Blair shunned and cast out to the g-league (had no idea the D-fenders were the "South Bay Lakers" now)

I'm not sure even Joel believes Joel is ever gonna be healthy.

dokmo posted:Trigger warning for unconscionable ball pounding Remember when Stanley Johnson was at Arizona, and people were talking about how he could really move the ball. He's seemingly attended the Reggie Jackson basketball academy, and when allowed to lead a break or get the ball at the elbow does an identical set of pointless dribbles before a flailing drive or an off balance shot. It's heartbreaking

I'm late to strongest player convo but Dwight can probably bench 500 and likely can't make free throws because of the resultant shoulder mobility and fine motor control issues from doing nothing but 80s Arnold bodybuilding routines for his entire life You guys nba tipoff is on loving TUESDAY and I am so excited

How do I put money on the Knicks winning less than 30 games this year edit: lol I just checked Vegas Odds and it's 30.5. I don't know how to gamble and won't do it anyways but it's good to know everyone else can tell how bad it's going to be edit2: Oh and Kawhi is MVP favorite, which is also a thing I think I answered on Zogo's survey EvanTH fucked around with this message at 01:17 on Oct 15, 2017 |

EvanTH posted:How do I put money on the Knicks winning less than 30 games this year I'm not quite money confident but drat they're bad. Thing is, there are at least two even less talented teams in the East (Chicago and Atlanta), and three others that are arguably worse (Brooklyn, Orlando, Indiana). Philadelphia is made up almost entirely of first and second year players, the best of whom is a glass cannon. Boston has like 4 rookies and no roster continuity, the Heat may play more like the first than the second half of last year, the Cavs don't care about losing a few in the regular season, and none of Milwaukee, Charlotte Washington, or Toronto are above terrible regular season losses. It's such a polarized league this year it's hard to be confident in who won't and who will overperform

Like, at all. In any way. COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF CURRENT NON-ROOKIE KNICKS WITHOUT CAREER NEGATIVE BPM: Joakim Noah (+4.2/DNP) Kyle O'Quinn (+1.0) Kristaps Porzingis (+0.2) Willy Hernangomez (0.0) Everyone else on the roster is a negative player. If you'd asked me last season about who was the worst guy in the NBA I might have answered: Enes Kanter Doug McDermott Michael Beasley Jarrett Jack Ramon Sessions Trey Burke and now they're all on my team. When did we even sign Trey Burke? It's like they deliberately sought out my nightmare team. Why
