you don't need to break up the Celtics discussion that is already happening and going fine to put it somewhere people are less likely to look just because they've been out of the playoffs for like five seconds imo

I don't think it's quite as star heavy as it was initially sold but it's a good draft.

Shai would be a good guy to pair him with since he's big enough to cover for him on defense while running point on offense but yes post-Durant and Harden they are opposed to players who can shoot as a general rule so Sexton is out.

Trading Curry was just bizarre, you'd think you'd want as much shooting as possible around someone like Luka. I guess the hope is that Terry eventually develops into something like that but he's going to need a couple year before he can hold up physically. I think Josh Green can be a solid rotation wing eventually, especially on D, but I don't know if he really fixes the issues that they had in this series. He's not a great shooter and a rookie isn't really going to slow down Kawhi.

This isn't just a hindsight thing, I said it was bad at the time too. Josh Richardson was really bad last year and the "we need more creation" thing always sounds a lot more important with ultra heliocentric guys like Luka and LeBron than I think it ever actually is. Short of them adding another elite player Luka's usage isn't going to change that much, having a truly elite shooter is way more important than having a marginally better creator who isn't going to get that many chances to create. If if you put Luka with Chris Paul or Kyrie then yeah, sure, that extra creation becomes really valuable. If you put him with Josh Richardson then Josh Richardson is going to be mostly hanging out off ball and he's much worse at that than Seth Curry.

Having another option for creation would be great but the other option has to be actually good. They're not taking the ball out of Luka's hands in crunch time to run pick and rolls with Josh Richardson

https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1403098093839654917?s=19 Howard currently has two sons on the team so not terribly surprising. I do think if he keeps winning he will probably wind up in the NBA eventually but maybe that's wishful thinking. So far Hardaway's biggest strength as a coach has been recruiting so that's a really weird name

Ghislaine of YOSPOS posted:This was definitely utahs Window. Next year they are going to lose a lot of their roster because they have to start paying Donovan and really paying Rudy. with the hard cap Rudy outs on your team in the playoffs its going to be very difficult to get me excited about the team again. it was cool to be the number one seed but any amount of regular season success next year will have an enormous amount of stink on it. who are they going to have to lose? The only notable free agent is Conley and they can go over the cap to bring him back, and his next deal is going to be cheaper than the one he's on now MourningView fucked around with this message at 14:29 on Jun 20, 2021 |

El Gallinero Gros posted:Has the DPOY ever been traded after winning the award before? I'm not saying they need to do it, but they could, I guess? They would be bottom five defense if you replaced him with all but like three other centers and I don't think any of them are getting traded. He's the biggest reason they were a 1 seed they're not going to trade him.

indigi posted:I’m not an expert but KD doesn’t seem as great on defense as he used to be and I’m wondering if that’s the case or not. when people say “the old KD is back” I wonder if it’s that my memory of him is just rose colored glasses or that people are giving him a pass on defense because of the injury. KD has never really gotten enough credit for how good his defense was so when people say he's back they just mean the shot making.

DeimosRising posted:Like a lot of dudes that’s because he was just bad for the first half decade of his career. He only really became a positive defender late in his thunder days and with the warriors. It’s hard to shake a rep when people only watch a few games a year I think he got good at it earlier than people give him credit for he just makes everything look so easy that it seemed like he wasn't trying, as opposed to Russ who was/is a bad defender but had a strong rep on the end forever because he's always flying around and looks like he's trying hard.

https://twitter.com/AlexKennedyNBA/status/1408300017962598404?s=19 Seems like an obvious move, good scorer but a bad fit with Garland and they're most likely going to draft another guard this year. New York maybe? They badly need shot creation and have 19, 21, and 32 this year they could package together in some combination. Maybe the Cavs still believe in Obi Toppin or something too.

Garland is pretty similar to where sexton was year two as a scorer aside from volume. Not as good from 2 point range but slightly better from three on higher volume, and he is an actual point guard rather than an undersized gunner. Sexton is a tough roster fit because he really needs to be paired with either a big point guard or a jumbo initiator like LeBron to really work on a good team, or he should be a sixth man

El Gallinero Gros posted:I genuinely don't know, is Blake worth a MLE at this point? Or is he utterly cooked because of his explosiveness being gone due to injuries? I don't think i would give him a full MLE but he looked a lot bouncier with the Nets. I think what probably happens is that he signs to close to the minimum to stay with them and go for a ring since he's already getting his big contract from the Pistons
