[Hurricane Season]

10 years from now, seeing Parker in a Hornets jersey will be like seeing Hakeem in a Raptors jersey.

Sounds like IT to Orlando 2/23 team option on 2nd year

Good one. 
 
I am unsure of how i feel about Melo in Houston. It's a different system from OKC, and he wouldnt be forced to play the 4 as much as he was in OKC. We can hide him on defense a little better with how often we switch. I dunno. I halfway just want to say we should commit to Tucker and let Melo go somewhere else. But i have full faith in MDA, and if he thinks we can get more out of him than OKC did, then I trust him (and Morey).

You dont want Melo

Especially with MDA as the coach. Their first stint went awful

And playing him at the 3 is a disaster at this stage of his career

Ryan Anderson can do exactly what Melo does these days. A lot of nothing

Having Lavine back is good, him and Dunn will have breakout years

Wanted him for about 15M a year but that extra 5 isnt gonna kill us

Espcially with the cap rising again

Waiting patiently for bosox to call him overpaid tho, that always turns out good

Boston's summer league team's best players are Guerschon Yabusele and Semi Ojeleye. It's not a good team ahaha

Go out there on the court by yourself today and try scoring 40 points with 8 threes

dude I cant shoot in pickup lol
 
im saying boasting about summer league stats is useless when the most feared scorer on the opposition is a 6'8" defensive tackle.

 

[bosoxlover12]

and yeah the lavine contract is definitely overpaid for both his market as well as his statline, but i'm fine with it because it just removes any ability for the bulls to get two max deals next year (aka bye bye the Kyrie/Butler to the Bulls theory you tried to put out there)

This not about Bostons scorers

Its about Korkmaz dropping a 40 piece

Regardless against who, its impressive

Real talk here... rank these teams 1-3 (#1 should be obvious)
 
 
A: 
Anthony Davis - LeBron James - Kevin Durant - James Harden - Steph Curry
Russell Westbrook - Kawhi Leonard - Damian Lillard - Karl Anthony Towns - Jimmy Butler - Paul George - Rudy Gobert
 
B: 
Marc Gasol - Lamarcus Aldridge - Klay Thompson - Devin Booker - Chris Paul
DeAndre Jordan - Mike Conley Jr - Draymond Green - Nikola Jokic - Donovan Mitchell - CJ McCollum - Jrue Holiday
 
C: 
Joel Embiid - Kristaps Porzingis - Giannis Antetokounmpo - DeMar DeRozan - Kyrie Irving
Victor Oladipo - Ben Simmons - Al Horford - Gordon Hayward - Kevin Love - Brad Beal - John Wall
 
Its probably A-C-B for me, but that WCF B Team is close to the East team tbh lol

Dipo went into a completely different system, was used completely differently, and absolutely exceeded expectations. He was overpaid for how he played in OKC and Orlando, without question.
 
We haven't seen Lavine play in Chicago to the level that warrants $20M/yr, simple as that. Could he step up? Sure. But he doesn't push the needle imo, but I also don't care about Chicago basketball because they're irrelevant right now so who cares?

Love how jerebko isn't good enough for Utah but he's good enough for Golden State lol
