Rick posted:Like I think some of the moves are defensible in a vacuum, and like I'm not as down on the Suns' young players (except Bender) as Golliver (who really doesn't understand the dynamics of how young players play in the NBA despite being a major stat guy and summer league watcher somehow) but it's just so much gently caress up over now what is a pretty prolonged period of time. And you could argue it all stems from Lon Babby before that who basically pushed the Suns into the bad times with that awful conflict-of-interest Hedo trade and the attempt to low ball Nash into leaving (although that did end up in the Lakers trade which was obviously a good trade, although ultimately not for the Suns). I think Sarver needs to sell the team, and really, Suns fans should be on board with this since he's starting to grumble about moving the team. Yeah I’ve defended some of McDonough’s moves in the past but the same poo poo keeps happening over and over. I couldn’t believe what he said on the radio about Bledsoe. I mean, they jerked him around during contract negotiations, consistently set him up to fail, and then as he was having a career year they shut him down in February so that they could draft his replacement. How in the hell do you go on the radio and tell the world that he’s not living up to his obligation to be a team leader? To date, here are the players McDonough has alienated and trashed as they were out the door: Goran Dragic Channing Frye IT The Morris twins (I have mixed feelings about this but still) Eric Bledsoe I really thought hiring James Jones to be the assistant GM would help with player relations but apparently not. We’re on our 3rd rebuild in 7 years and unless Marquese Chriss or Dragan Bender works out it’s going to happen again. I like Booker and Josh Jackson but I have no confidence in McDonough’s ability to build an actual team around them. Speaking of Sarver selling the team, a gofundme got the money to put up this billboard in like 5 hours. https://www.gofundme.com/SarverOut It’s not going to do anything but the fanbase is clearly fed up.

Libertine posted:I feel like the Cavs don’t have a traditional C on their roster this year. Love is a stretch 4 who also happens to be one of the best rebounders in the league. You can play him at C if he doesn’t have to guard a bigger dude but he gets absolutely bodied on defense by anyone who is. And he also can in no way anchor a post defense allowing weaker perimeter defenders to channel. In what way is Tristain Thompson not a "traditional center"

Paul Zuvella posted:In what way is Tristain Thompson not a "traditional center" Undersized (Thompson is the exact same height/weight as Jeff Green). Also he's shown bad effort on defense and bad effort on rebounding, all of the things that have been valid criticisms of his game for years and all the reasons the Cavs don't fully trust him to play the position right now. Paul Zuvella posted:Yeah Ben Wallace is gross af The Cavs could only dream of Thompson playing like Ben Wallace.

Libertine posted:Undersized (Thompson is the exact same height/weight as Jeff Green). You're right, they just have to live with him being the exact same height and weight e: My point is that 6'9" with a 7 foot wingspan is, and always has been a center and Thompson sets screens and only scores around a basket. I don't see a single argument on how he is not a traditional center. Paul Zuvella fucked around with this message at 16:05 on Oct 25, 2017 |

He has all the same flaws as Kevin Love and is nowhere near as good of a rebounder as him either.

I mean, given that Kevin Love is one of the best rebounders in the league that's kind of an unfair thing to knock him for. TT is a good rebounder, especially offensively. dokmo posted:He doesn't have a post game, the sine qua non of traditional centers.

Ben Wallace was really closer to 6'7" without the afro. He was always considered undersized. Thompson's game is very much that of a traditional 5 though.

The Glumslinger posted:Wait, does Fultz have Texter's Neck? skinny kids get skinny neck hex I'm really happy to see Fun Blake again, I really hope he doesn't get hurt. I guess we'll find out on Monday if the Clippers are for real or not, but honestly I feel like playing the Warriors is less of a "are you a contender" test than a "are you surgically designed to take advantage of the Warriors exceptionally few weaknesses and if not oh well" test. They play @SAS and @OKC in two weeks, I feel like that's a much better test.

I think you'll find that without his afro, shoes or socks, Ben Wallace was really more like 6'5".
