RE: AROUND the NBA: - Chicagojk - 11-05-2021

I am curious if these centers fit into our TPE:

Serge Ibaka-  I have no idea of his health, but the Clippers have gotten off to a slower start.   Ibaka is not in their long term plans and if they continue to struggle, maybe they move him and cut down on their tax bill.

Derrick Favors-  He is probably getting moved this year and his asking price will not be high.  He has a player option next year.

Thomas Bryant-  Maybe my favorite name on the list.  Still recovering from a knee injury last year.    Washington is filled with a deep roster even without Rue.  They have two centers getting minutes currently:  Harrell (who is playing really well) and young Daniel Gafford.   Bryant is in the last year of his contract paying 8.6 million per year.   I think the Wizzards move one center when Bryant is healthy.

DAL being marginally capable of hitting a barn door with a shotgun so far hasn't helped.

It was spot on prediction by you.

NBA Analysis Network on Twitter: "Did you know? Westbrook has a better FG% (44.4%) this season than: Steph - 42% Booker- 41% Mitchell- 41.6% Fox- 38.5% He also has a better 3PT% (26.3%) this season than: Dame- 23.4% Trae- 25.5% Beal- 24.5% Luka- 25.4% (via @statmuse) https://t.co/7LfXnJx5wQ" / Twitter


RE: AROUND the NBA: - Hypermav - 11-05-2021

I just see Luka has a better three ball than Dame and Beal.  That is the big take away Smile

I was hoping for this Lakers squad to turn out like the Glove/Mailman team of old, but this might be much, much worse.  Father time catching up to LeBron's body too.

Now that KAT is throwing some hints about wanting out of Minny, pls make KP for KAT happen.  Pipe dreams can come true sometimes.

Maybe if they had dumped Porzingis for Bamba + Ross, traded THJ to a contender for a late 1st round pick and signed Markkanen in the summer, they´d actually have an asset base to get into such star trade discussions with a package around Brunson + Markkanen + Bamba + two picks, but Cuban simply does not understand how the NBA works. I could have read the new CBA in Kalaallisut and have a better understanding of it than Cuban.

Tbh. KP if he can stay healthy for 5 games is an easier sell to the Minny fan base for their mgmt than Bamba or Markannen and picks.

Keith Smith on Twitter: "The Raptors basically chose Isaac Bonga over Sam Dekker. Bonga's deal will become fully guaranteed today, while Dekker will be waived. $350,000 cap hit for Dekker on Toronto's books. Raptors dipped under the luxury tax with this waivers too." / Twitter

He's only averaging 4.7 FTA a game. Thats the lowest amount since his sophomore season in 2010-11. He keeps crying that the refs are treating him unfairly but I say this is what he gets for abusing the system for years on end.

LOL. So we're expected to believe that someone went to the effort to fish for the login information for a famous athlete, with the sole nefarious intent of (checks notes) liking a tweet. Laziest hacker ever, or laziest excuse?

I don't think that "like" was the only "incident".

It's almost OK if the Mavs are bad, as long as the Lakers are worse.

No, but that´s better than flat out saying that you had a fall out with the college intern that handled your "personal" Twitter account and went rogue. Big Grin


RE: AROUND the NBA: - Mavs2021 - 11-07-2021

Korkmaz is averaging 12 PPG and 3 APG on 49/43/93 shooting for $5M. The Mavs need to hire somebody that can accurately project the forward progression of younger players instead of signing older guys that are already maxed out.
