People laughed when I posted grainy footage of Joel Embiid taking free throws, but they're not laughing now, are they. The Ben Simmons hype train is leaving the station and it's time to hop on board!

Being wrong is the worst thing possible which is why it' sso bold and daring to make lots of dangerous predictions, like: in 2 years the Sixers will make the playoffs

Why would Philly want Millsap? First off he might leave after half a season - a season in which winning games hurts their draft prospects. Secondly even if he resigns he's too old for them. He will be 32 in a month and 34-35 by the time the Sixers are good enough to compete even under an optimistic outlook. Like he's good and I'd really like him on any competing team but teams that are bad now seem like the last place he should go.

Cool Buff Man posted:He's way more than a one-way role player. He's one of the most unique players in the NBA right now so it's hard to really compare him to anyone, but he passes better than just about any big man I've seen in recent memory and he runs the offense better than any of their guards.

Zogo posted:You're leaving out the part where CLE gets THREE #1 picks in a four year period. Their odds over that span pegged that as like a once every 2,000 year event (if you think the draft is really legitimate).

The maliciously vet loving coaches snubbing Embiid is a crime, there's no one more I'd be more excited to see in the All Star game http://streamable.com/y85f4 Spacebump posted:Pierre Jackson got injured last night and was on his second 10 day contract with the Mavs. I wish that didn't happen. I wanted them to sign him long term. Today they signed someone named Yogi Ferrell in his place. Really disappointed in this turn of events. The Cavs should sign Jackson once he is healthy, he is an underrated playmaker. they sleep Niwrad posted:He also wanted Thibs fired and recruited both Wade and Rondo heavily. Those were the guys he wanted to play with.

Space Camp fuckup posted:LeBron strongarmed the Cavs into overpaying for all of his agent/friend's clients and then complains that the front office isn't doing enough. There's nothing left to do! They have no flexibility left. You can't have your cake and eat it too. http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/18591231/angry-lebron-sounding-off This is a Windy article about Lebron. Warriors added Durant and Cavs let Dellavedova go and haven't replaced him. Picking up Korver was nice but I mean was kind of just because they lost JR to the injury. Maybe it's not what he wants but the article mentions the Mavs picking up Yogi Ferrell. The Cavs have an empty roster spot, surely they could have put a Yogi Ferrell or Pierre Jackson on a bunch of 10-day contracts like the Mavs have been doing, and then sign one of them longer if they're good. Is there a reason they haven't bothered? I guess they're finally now bringing in some dudes for try outs. But it seems like they could have done this a month ago. Mario Chalmers okay. But they really should get Nate Rob! Paul Zuvella posted:I just don't see Lance Stephenson doing anything that Richard Jefferson or Iman Shumpert doesn't already give you. Lance is a complete garbage shooter, and you don't need playmaking on the court when you have Kyrie Irving and Lebron James, you need shooting.

Doltos posted:Fisher is a moron. Unless we don't know something that he does, the Knicks barely even ran the triangle under his tenure. Or they ran it but it wasn't the end all be all and it wasn't like Jackson was sitting behind him forcing him to run it that way. And where does his old rear end get to talk? He was carried to all his championships and spent his twilight years being dirty as gently caress and getting undeserved minutes.

predicto posted:Barkley is a loud-mouthed fool, but I love him. His job is to entertain, and he does it. Like, the fact that the Cavs locked up the guys they did doesn't mean it makes sense to just cruise through the season with an open roster spot while playing your 32-year-old superstar the most minutes in the NBA.

predicto posted:Of course he's 100% right that they should get a backup point guard. Unfortunately, that's not what he focused on, was it? Jan 7: "We still got a couple more things we need to do," James said Friday, when asked if Cleveland's pending trade with Atlanta for Korver was a "championship move." "We gotta get a point guard," James said. "It's my last time saying it. We need a point guard."James also said he'd like the Cavs to add another big man, but "there's not many bigs out there ... we'll see what happens." Then nothing happened and they lost a bunch of games and he came back with this 2+ weeks later: Jan 24: "I just hope that we're not satisfied as an organization," James said. "I just hope we're not satisfied. We're not better than last year," he said. "From a personnel standpoint. It's like when you don't have bodies, it's tough," James said. "The f------ grind of the regular season. We're a top-heavy team. We have a top-heavy team. We top-heavy as s---. It's me, [Kyrie Irving], [Kevin Love]. It's top-heavy. We need a f------ playmaker," James said. "I'm not saying you can just go find one, like you can go outside and see trees. I didn't say that." Then he softened it up with some tweets: https://twitter.com/KingJames/status/823966345888927745 I mean really, he's just accurately saying what's needed. For some reason a bunch of people get really upset about that and started trashing him, Barkley included. So Barkley got destroyed.

Bill Simmons is now also telling LeBron to shut up because his team is already good enough. I was driving and listening to the radio for like the only time ever last week and Le batard was saying how it's interesting how fans always say their team needs to add some help, but if a player ever says it they all get pissed at the player for being ungrateful. I think he's actually right
