On that same note, there was an article about the Pistons somewhere and two guys were feeding off each other talking about how Pistons needed to trade Drummond for Okafor+ not only saying that Andre isn't worth a max but that Okafor is just as good. And the sad part is they were supposedly...
yeah because Luol Deng was so washed up this year
since you clearly weren't sarcastic about not watching the NBA let me clarify that that^ was sarcastic - that idea of the effect Thibs has is completely false, Chicago media has been on some shit recently disparaging those leaving the team
do you have something against upside? you apparently think Hield and Sabonis should both be top 3 picks, they'll be good NBA players but they won't be superstars which is what some of these others have a much better chance of becoming. For instance I'm not at all saying he will do it but...
yeah for our own teams, I get why you like Sabonis a lot and I like him a ton for the Pistons if he makes it there, he definitely might go ahead of them but there is a 0% chance he gets drafted in the top 3
the reason the hack-a rule is bad has nothing to do with how it applies to the game it has to do with how it applies to the entertainment value of the game

no the trade machine isn't updated for those cap numbers yet but I think they'd fall just short of the $15 million space needed to make a Morris-Love swap work
Detroit would definitely be interested. SVG wanted Ryan Anderson, settled on Motiejunas and ended up with neither, Love is a better...
yeah I checked on the trade machine, the salaries work in Tobias-Love so it'd have to be that not Morris. Love for Tobias and the 1st. And I'm not sure if the Cavs would go for that or not
I think they would if they like Tobias, wouldn't if they don't, it being in the Central wouldn't factor...
Yeah that latter move is what I'd been thinking, probably would even give them their choice of Morris/Tobias plus the pick, but still not sure Cleveland would do that
He's got the perfect package of size and athleticism for a wing. But in terms of actual skills - consistent mechanics on his jumper, better handle, better vision creating for himself or others - he has a ways to go. Which is why I've strongly disagreed every time you (bosox) talk about him being...
