Denver done some very good business in my opinion. Really needed that athletic ability McGee and Gordon bring.
Clippers traded for Rondo⌠Cost them Lou Williams and a couple of 2nd rounders. If you think Denver is in good position now.
Lol fucking hell, ring chasing LMA and BG.

Can you really blame them though?
Nah not really as theyâve both had good careers racking up multiple all star selections individually etc, itâs just a shame that this is what the NBA has become thatâs all.

These days there is just so much talent going around. I think people underestimate that. You didnât have this much talent, and thus top talent joining other talent, in the 90s because it simply wasnât there. In fact that Bulls team literally said how diluted the League was because of expansion.
Wonder if the NBA Step in like they did with CP3 and the Lakers.
Imagine if the Nets donât win the title this yearâŚ
Honest Q: Is the Nets super team good or bad for the league?
The NBA has always been like 3 or 4 legit teams can win the chip every season, very rarely does someone come out and shock you because thereâs only 5 doods on the court so if you have a couple of the best players ur usually the champion. So the Nets Lakers would be a home run as far as ratings for the NBA. A lot of casuals will tune in for that. The hard-core fans wonât like it tho.

I was going to make a post on James Wiseman the other day. Dude is 7ft2 with bounce and barely gets 6 rebounds. Lacks a touch around the rim and seems to settle for jumpers on horrible post-up. I relented and didnât make that post.
I know rebounds arenât the cleanest way to analyse a centres presence, as teams rebound in different ways. Also, first year centreâŚgotta be patient.
âŚbut then I saw the numbers the undrafted Moses Brown is getting at OKC. 7ft2 like Wiseman, yet put up a 20 points and 20 rebounds versus Boston (they have an undersized centre). Am I wrong for expecting that from Wiseman?
Any thoughts on James Wisemanâs struggles?
As long as the league remains competitive, super teams donât bother me. If the Nets go 16-1 we may need to revisit this conversation.

The NBA canât step in like that. At the time they were the actual owners of the New Orleans Hornets.

It wasnât right tho because then they traded him to to Clippers for an even worse deal. Donald Stern was a fucking cuntâŚGazidis level cunt.

In hindsight it was the wrong move. Just imagine the Lakers-Heat rivalry we could have gotten. That would have benefitted the League greatly, at least from a financial perspective.

Would have been massive, we needed that LeBron Kobe finals. Yes in hindsight of course but even at the time it was like, Odom and Pau for Chris Paul, to Al-Farouq Aminu and Eric Gordon lol seriously Sterling fucked both us and New Orleans because he was a cunt. He shouldnât have intervened because he had conflicting interests. The other owners were crying to him that we made that trade and he kowtowed to them.

Yeah its a good pick up. He will help down low cuz weâve been weak up front this year after losing Dwight and Javale. My main concern is Bron and ADâs health. Blake Griffin and LA donât move the needle for me in Brooklyn tho those doods are washed I dunno why everyone is acting like those are important pick ups. Come playoff time they will hardly factor.

Also an important note is that Dwight and Javale shot 15% and 10% higher last year with LeBron than they are shooting this year. LeBron gets bigs so many easy buckets at the rim that Drummond is going to eat like he never has in his career.
For the same reason why Drummond is a rated addition for the Lakers, but not the actual defensive stalwart they need (Drummond is not a good defensive player), they both add size with more shooting. Just the fact that these are three big dudes makes them solid additions for their teams.
