Windhorst - " Big swing guy is Jimmy Butler, based on the trade it looks like the Sixers intend to sign Tobias Harris..I think if Butler doesn't get a 5 year offer he moves on..he wants to play in Los Angeles. " Jimmy's a loon, but I'd like it. Similar to Artest joining in 2010. Every championship team needs a little crazy
Here we are going to the 4th quarter with Boogie out, so surely Zu is about to dominate. He's been a runaway train thus far..9 minutes, 2 points, 2 rebounds, 1 foul Warriors can only hope to contain him
Lol GSW Ghost Zu domination. Largest comeback win since 2000 and Zu on the bench for all of it. Boy, if Trez Harrell had a backup this series could've gone..6 games
The moment has looked too big for him so far. Looks so jittery/nervous and can barely hold onto the ball. I won’t hate though....he may never be anything more than a serviceable backup but he definitely has more value than Muscala...that can’t be denied. Still a pretty irrelevant move in the grand scheme of things tho
Fun watching Durant let the team down, for sure. I don't know why he thinks he can handle New York and trying to uplift that franchise
We'll find out how much value Zu has this summer since he's a restricted FA. Clips are big game hunting and could choose to replace him with a guy that's better suited for this era of ball movement/switching/spacing. Somebody like..Muscala. Lol Looks like West had it right the 1st time..Rivers making that clear. Right now, Zu is holding no value at all to them. Barely getting to play and when he does..you said it. But Zu does have talent, it's just retro-talent. Marc Gasol is past his prime and still has far quicker feet than Zu. And of course, Marc has the 3 ball and is a terrific passer. So the Zu/Marc comp never really took off. There's a place for retro guys, but it's usually not in the winner's circle.
I imagine Zu is going to do something in the playoffs, one of these games. I'm rooting for him, even though silly ass Clip fans are going to point and go, " see ". Fuck them. Still rather see Zu do well. But until then I'm shitting on the Clips at every opportunity for that fake news leak
Salary cap guru Bobby Marks saying similar about LAL's AD chase this summer. His way differs a little, says LAL's offer should be limited to Lonzo, Kuz, the 2019 lottery pick and the 2021 1st unprotected. A little less than I proposed a couple days back..he's good with LAL just moving AD into more of the cap space and keeping guys like Hart and Moe. Which is fine too. His way leaves $21M in cap space..which still gives LAL the option of trying to convince Kawhi to opt in and be traded to LAL ala Paul/Clips/Rockets. If Kawhi opts into next season, he'll make $21M in 2020, so pretty much a perfect fit. LAL could offer Hart, Bonga and a 2nd round pick for Kawhi and Toronto would take it or lose Kawhi for nothing. But any AD trade can't be completed until July 1st because of some roster restriction. It can be agreed to ahead of that date ( likely draft night), but not official until free agency opens. Feels like AD could actually land given Griffin's presence in N.O. A huge chip ahead of Kawhi's decision. I don't think Griffin does it without Ingram though, so maybe flip it around..Zo stays with LAL instead of Ingram.
Told Dame he busts his ass every time they meet in the regular season and even mocked him with the rocking the baby motion and Dame has busted his ass the first two games. I bet finishing with 9 rebounds and not getting another cheap triple-double has Russ more pissed off than anything
I don't even know why Russ is bullshittin himself. He knows Dame isn't a pushover in any aspect. At this point, Russ is just a clown..especially with the dumbass clothes
So Magic's replacement is reportedly someone that's currently in the playoffs. And Monty is the top choice for HC..what they're reporting. Not sure if it's real, could be a way of getting Ty Lue to come down on his price. Guess we'll see soon enough. Monty has the AD/Kawhi connection though so all good there too
