NBA Season is Returning This Year!!!!!!!
- Thread starter DAHITMAN
- Start date
Gasol is done, he got a contract because he a big white dude. Gasol and Trez aren't an upgrade over Javelle an Howard to me. Hell, Howard did good as hell against the joker and it was a lot of times that he ran down the middle an sealed and did not get the pass, which would've been an easy 2 pts. Lakers should've kept Rondo an Howard.
An why did they resign the morris cat who thru the ball away in the finals
Morris for the vet minimum?
and Javelle wasn't even playable in some series
and Horward and Javelle are capable of scoring 18 points a game?
Neither shoots as good as Marc and stretch the floor, much less passing
Far better than good.
And there have been a lot of great players without jumpers or who developed them late.
They got him for vet min, well that's good then. Must've been his brother contract I was thinking.
Marc ain't shooting shit, he just a big slow dude at this point. He ain't stretching shit, he prolly only shoot 3-4 times a game if that. He can pass though
Howard could easily avg 10-12pts if they give him the ball once he seals. That's good enough, and he's still athletic an his defense looked good in the playoffs.
Don't laugh. Woods game has come a long way and he's confident. Dude works hard. Maybe he is capable. We see a few guys every year step up and improve their games dramatically. He maybe that guy. Since he was with the Pistons last year no one payed attention to him. But I saw him. He game Embiid some work on the last game before the shutdown in Philly and I was impressed. Thats not easy to do. Let's see how it goes.
Marc has been above a 35% three point shooter the past five years and was above 38% last year
and he is still a excellent defensive player
much less his passing
Howard could average 18?
And if Dwight is so desirable, why didn't Washington, Atlanta and Charlotte want him? Why is the only gig he could get was ten minutes behind a top three center?
Do you actually watch basketball?
I dont remember one player winning a ring without a great team and/or great players around them. So all that joining a 72 win team is just fan fodder. And I personally dont think hes gonna win with Kyrie. But KD resume speaks for itself.....
I think Lakers shoulda have kept Dwight. He was great against Denver. Hes also still an elite athlete and they will miss that aspect of what he brought defensively. Gasol will be useless against small teams.
They'll use Morris, Montrez or AD against those teams
Howard had those same problems against Houston and Miami.

Playing in the pick and roll with Harden alone will make him put up good numbers. Capela got paid thanks to Harden.
Gasol was good 4 years ago, he barely can move. He ain't no excellent defender no more
They trying to hype him like this 2016
He take 3 threes a game an hit 1. I ain't impressed with that. How is he an excellent defensive player as you call it. I can tell you just got that shit from a headline cause his foot speed is nonexistent. He makes the Joker look like fast.
I said Howard can avg 10-12 earlier... got to read dude.
Gasol was good 4 years ago, he barely can move. He ain't no excellent defender no more
Check Toronto's defensive plus minus with him on versus off
Shaq had his weaknesses and so does Giannis. Back off and make him take a jumper. Game over.
Morris and Montrez are NOT rim protectors. And neither are the athletic defensive presence that is Dwight. You dont want AD brittle ass playing that role more than you have too either. Look man, its ok to say they will miss Dwight. Rob letting him walk over 400k is malpractice and further shows how incompetent he is.They'll use Morris, Montrez or AD against those teams
Howard had those same problems against Houston and Miami.
Yup. And he was overrated then too. Gave the cac DPOY when he didnt even make all defense 1st team.Gasol was good 4 years ago, he barely can move. He ain't no excellent defender no more
Danny Ainge is a horrible fucking GM. He held out for an additional 1st round pick for a 30 year old injury prone white American max player who averaged 13 points during his stint in Boston? Wtf!?
IF they choose to not Dominate the paint then ok BUT let's not act like Jokic didn't show he can downright bully AD in the paint. Hell Dwight the only big that stood up to Joker. That was a good move by the Lakers coach but now Dwight gone.
I have a feeling that fucked over Miami too.
I think they might have been in on that deal trying to get Oladipo because that night one of the local reporters said the heat were working on a big trade with 3 teams involved and then nothing came to fruition.
Nobody perfect and thats another reason why he needs to leave Milwaukee..
Its fan fodder? He joined the best team in the league what you talking about? Come on man I aint' one of these guys that knocks him for decision he did what's best for him but its a big ass difference between playing with Russell Westbrook and playing with the Warriors. Let's don't kid ourselves. The Warriors didn't need him to win a ring. He joined a dynasty.
I agree and that's why he gotta jump ship. Go to a team where you can't back off and let him take a jumper...........Bucks are just too dependent on him and his skillset ain't what it needs to be to overcome it.
Yeah but what Jokic gonna do? Go off for 50? Let him get his....where Jokic becomes deadly is when he's scoring and getting others involved as well.
Had y'all traded for that hurt muthafucka it probably would've hurt your team.
In Marc 15 minutes on the court Denver just gonna run the whole time. In the half court I say advantage Joker but only slightly
Doesn't matter what team he join, it doesn't change his impact on the game. And yes he join the best team and they got tremendously better because of him. They were great before him. They became historically great because of him. They became unbeatable because of him. So again all that rhetoric doesnt change anything about KD legacy....
They didn't get tremendously better they won more games without him then with him.
Revisionist history is a muthafucka.......
I don't see it either.....I ain't gonna pretend like I'm Lebron biggest fan but he's mastered how to be the professional NBA player. He essentially runs his own damn team, he got the cheat code on how to state relatively healthy......KD ain't mastered none of this shit yet as he's heading into his 30's.
U looking at regular season wins and not the playoffsThey didn't get tremendously better they won more games without him then with him.
bro stop while your ahead. They had some historical ridiculous numbers when the games mattered. The team before him doesn't compare. I don't really care to post the numbers...
I'm looking at REGULAR SEASON AND PLAYOFFS....we excluded regular season now lol?U looking at regular season wins and not the playoffs
And you don't have to post the numbers fact is they won 73 games without him. Of course they got better without him they replaced Harrison Barnes with Kevin Durant....why the hell wouldn't they get better? They didn't need him to win a ring though is my argument. He proved he couldn't beat them and they took him not to the Finals and got him rings not the other way around lol.
I like how we completely ignore what he did in OKC though lol......I guess his legacy wasn't around then lol.
