Papes posted:Did you forget about the curry injury? I honestly am not sure if you're making fun of GSW apologists or not, but if a team is not able to overcome that kind of late season wear and tear then they probably won't dominate the playoffs. That's not rooting for an injury, that's just how the game works.

Lockback posted:I think the other way, a guy who relies on his physical talents but that isn't enough in the NBA. Javale McGee or Alonzo Gee or someone. I mean, Beas was the Chinese MVP (foreign players) and averaged 31/14/3/2/1. But then I don't think Fredette was done in by a lack of athleticism and I only sort of agree on Morrison, in that he didn't have the athleticism in addition to not having the skills, and then he got horribly injured. Hashtag Banterzone posted:I don't know, I think EuroLeague is too high a level for someone like Beasley to dominate, although tbh I have only see a few games recently. But the last 5 EuroLeague MVPs have been old AK47, Spanoulis, Sergio Rodriguez, Bjelica, and Nando de Colo. If a physical freak was able to dominate like you suggest, I think we would see a physical freak MVP. Instead you have Jan Vesely averaging 12pts a game (albeit on good shooting).

Wasn't Archie untouchable last season in trade talks? But man some young guards on the waivers who theoretically fit a need. So I'm sure Vlade will stand pat and try to reclaim Farmar and Lawson's careers

GSW being what it is doesn't really bother me. My team wasn't going to be winning an NBA title in the prior few years or the next few years really, but we're fun to watch and improving a lot every year. I mean, realistically, most fan's teams aren't winning a title in a given season so if removing the possibility of that removes your enjoyment of the game go be a fan of tic tac toe or something

I will never be able to hear the name Archie Goodwin without thinking of Jon Bois calling him "the baby Diego of the NBA" in that hilarious piece where he put useless players in the 2K draft class every year.

The Suns were a terrible team last year and Goodwin was one of their most terrible players who saw regular minutes. The idea that he's going to have a lot of offers around the league based on interest in his performance is kind of laughable.

Shear Modulus posted:The 10 years or so between the Shaq/Kobe lakers and the Heat Big 3 were probably the golden age of NBA parity. We've just had 6 distinct champions in the last 7 years. The current Champion never won a championship and the team before hadn't won since 1975. Despite all the hand-wringing the parity in the NBA is pretty decent right now. It's basketball, so it won't be a toss-up every year like the NFL and MLB sometimes are, but looking at the wider view its a lot better than it historically has been.* *Edit for Dokmo: Post cocaine-fueled era.

It's legit the worst it's ever been, so far it's been a bad change, but mayybe they'll get there. humpthewind posted:In shooters who can't shoot news, Anthony brown was cut from the Lakers today in favor of Thomas Robinson and MWP. Boy has his stock plummeted. This was unexpected based on the contact situation but probably the right move based on basketball. Anthony Brown's whole role with the team was based on the idea that Nick Young was unusable and the fact that the Lakers are running an offense where Young has a green light again made it tough for Brown to make the team. Libertine posted:The Suns were a terrible team last year and Goodwin was one of their most terrible players who saw regular minutes.

While I don't disagree, the teams being brought up to grab him would do so on the chance a change of scenery helps him a bit. It's a gamble worth taking because he has shown flashes in the past

It's official: Metta World Peace has made the Lakers' 15-man roster. Ditto for Thomas Robinson. L.A. makes room by releasing Anthony Brown. I had no ide Metta was older than his coach.

Goodwin ranked dead last in RPM last year for SGs: http://www.espn.com/nba/statistics/rpm/_/year/2016/page/3/sort/RPM/position/2 Some of that was the fact that the Suns were, in fact, terrible last year and their backcourt play was more focused on giving young guys minutes rather than trying to win games. But Booker was still like -1.5 pts below Nik Stauskus. That is not where you want to be.

I mean he has potential, he's young (22) and he probably still needs some refinement but he's also been in the league for 3 years and is already on a team in a situation that should be ideal for him to get minutes and develop and he hasn't, so I'm not sure that a change of scenery is going to really make much of a difference. I don't have anything against the guy, but yeah his performance numbers are terrible and Phoenix is a young team actively trying to develop young players and they decided they don't want him. Those are two big red flags.

Those are two big red flags. Except he never actually really got a shot to play minutes and develop. He's been the third or fourth SG on a team that didn't even really play shooting guards under Hornacek, and the second he got a chance under Earl, he had a much younger player emerge and take his spot (deservedly so, but it really stopped the whole development train in him). He basically had like a two week stretch where someone said "all right kid go out there and learn and it's OK if you make some mistakes."

Players I would have on the roster before Metta that were released lately: Alonzo Gee Archie Goodwin Cleanthony Early Mitch McGary
