Thread: King & Beef Snobby NBA Loop

I feel bad for teams like the T-Wolves - having to pay top notch money to two guys who are really good, but not really top flight, elite guys. Ironically those guys, Wiggins and KAT, and even guys a step below them, are more likely to sign a super max then a lot of the elite players. I'd have to find the article, but someone noted that Davis can cycle through short term contracts for awhile and essentially end up with super max money, albeit with the risk of injury potentially kaboshing it. It's what K.D. did.

dude best be smart, because he's not durable. . .

It's definitely a concern. But, he'd look great in a Lakers jersey.

This dude is a loser. He's the stereotypical somewhat talented try-hard center. He's not a truly great player, and would only get in if he campaigned hard for it, or people wanted to over reward a regular season try hard.

He wouldn't be a top twelve center in the 90's.

You are undervaluing defense. He is a phenom defender. And will give you 15, 13, and 5....and this coming from a nugz fan.

He's an above average center. I looked at the other players selected at center. Only maybe one is arguably worse than this dude.

So, the 76ers now have a starting five of Ben Simmons, J.J. Redick, Jimmy Butler, Tobias Harris and Joel Embiid.

That’s pretty good.

I'm happy. Now if only we can get Brown to start coaching them worth a damn...we'll be alright.

An underrated part of this trade deadline is NBA players trolling twitter with emojis.

I wish the Thunder could get a GM as awesome as Magic Johnson.

Something something glass houses, James Harden.

Pat Riley mangaged LBJ perfect didn’t he.

How nefarious!

I feel sorry for Pelicans fans. That franchise just completely squandered having a generational talent land in their lap.

Talent in the NBA wants to go coastal.
