    2018 NBA Trade Deadline

    I don’t mean the current version IT of course ... I assume he’ll get better although a labrum tear is pretty brutal which is what he had in his hip..I have one in my shoulder and the doctors have said it’s not worth repairing considering my age and difficulty of recovering from the surgery...

    A point guard of IT’s calibre, plus Love over Bender or Chriss? It’s better. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    In one sense, of course he was. Pulling off what he pulled off, when he pulled it off...he was way ahead of his time and that’s a kind of genius. The overall package may have been a touch short, but from one angle...no doubt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Count me as three - guy is a coaching genius in one sense, being so far ahead of his time. So glad he’s got a chance to compete again with compatible talent. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2018 NBA Trade Deadline

    Probably right because you'd be left with a bunch of egos, declining and injured talent and no obvious leader that would inevitably lead to bad on-court chemistry, but that's not the whole story - there IS talent there that: 1. Will fall gladly fall into role-playing line behind LeBron. 2...

    It wouldn’t surprise me to learn it’s strategic - that it’s to let Paul get comfortable running the team by himself. I’m actually surprised more teams don’t do this considering just how long an 82 game season is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Maybe / probably even, but I’m glad as hell we’ve gone a different route; one more shot at the draft, the booker PG experiment and, most importantly, no Bledsoe on our team...he did nothing for me that guy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I kind of feel like big men are overrated these days .. none of the tops teams revolver around one and the one team with two of them; NOP, isn’t doing much. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Surely it’s a guard we want, either of Doncic or young...we’re set at the 2,3 and potentially 4 and 5 and it’s the 1 we’re glaringly short at. Doncic and Booker as the two point guards Dragic and Bledsoe could have been, just with an extra few inches and ability. (I just checked the latters’...

    Didn’t get that far sadly; not that it happens often but I tend to get a bit Star struck around celebrities as can’t be sure if they want to talk / be left alone / be recognised / be incognito etc so I end the conversation assuming its the latter.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    That was random - I just ran into Andreas Bargnani in the lift of my hotel in Hong Kong ... standard tall person chat from me; “don’t see too many guys taller than me, you play basketball?” Him: yeah, for Toronto and New York. Me: I thought so, Andreas Bargnani right? Him: yep.. His brother...

    I have a real skill at getting basic things wrong - it’s uncanny ... and it’s rarely the detail, just the basics. I typed in ‘How many players in the NBA’ and it said 301...I just didn’t read further to realise that’s how many there used to be. And no I didn’t stop to do the math, but who...

    Lakers pick update - it's only going to convey for picks 2-5 this year but is unprotected outside of the #1 pick next year: 2018 first round draft pick to Philadelphia or Boston L.A.

    *and thought Brandon Knight would be a good addition to the team, for a first round pick from the lakers no less. Not that we need to be reminded but if I’m not mistaken, it’s looking like this pick will convey top 5 this year. In a deep draft. For Brandon GD Knight. Sent from my...

    McD seems to have a knack for writing good value contracts - Warren, IT, Morris brothers and maybe even Bledsoe - so credit where credit’s due, but as a roster synergy artist he fails miserably; anyone that couldn’t work out: - Earl Watson was a clown - The Morris Brother’s were rabble rousers...

    For my claim to hold you’d probably have to ignore rookies - which isn’t ideal - as their small contracts would have a distorting effect. But if I was allowed to do that, then I’d be surprised if he wasn’t in that top 30, or somewhere close to it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    CPN's right - he's worth 7-10 in this draft (i'd go 7-9 personally but that's getting a little picky) but in the Bender / Chriss draft he's probably top 5 even without the benefit of hindsight as everyone knew that draft sucked.
