Chaos in the Middle of a Pandemic: 2020 NBA Off-Season Thread

I'm so happy for him

Torrey plays hard and I like the dude, but he can absolutely not guard those guys. He guards guards well and that’s pretty much it.

I'm not implying he can shut them down. You need guys on the bench who can defend stars for 5 to 10 mins a game.

he defends everyone from Donovan Mitchell to Westbrook to Kawhi

He gets torched by bigger wings. The only hole on the Nuggets roster is a guy that can guard bigger wings and they rescinded his QO. That should tell you all you need to know.

A George for Harden swap.. that would be interesting for LAC.. but doesn't really do anything for Houston other than have PG's salary come off the books when he'd undoubtedly opt-out next year, which would mean giving up Harden for nothing but i guess cap relief?

Bullshyt aside, I figure LAC's final move is to move Lou Williams somehow.

Uncle Dennis really messed the clippers up trading everything for pg. that team plus Kawhi was much better now they have 0 assets to trade

He’s a choker. He doesn’t match the Pelicans timeline and they aren’t going to win a championship. So what would be the point of getting Harden really? Ingram is too good to trade.

He's a choker who gets his team to the conference finals. Like Harden or not, he is a winner and a workhorse......The Pelicans have made the Conference semifinals 2 times in 19 years.......James Harden has made the conference semifinals 5 out of the last 6 seasons...and the conference finals 2 times.

I don't believe in a timeline...Ingram is about to get paid 32m per year. The Pelicans better make the playoffs next season. I don't want to hear any excuses.

I don't even know what to make of George at this point. I guess he averages out as a top 15'ish player?
He does a lot of little things well and has the ability to do great things, but that Dallas series was some pathetic shyt.

Pop calling up Bud to give Bryn a contract

Marco and Forbes were two of the bottom 5 defenders in the nba and they both gone

From Marco and Bryn to Murray, White, Walker, Vassell

so i went Raptors forum searchign and seems like most rap fans agree with you.

"Lowry propped Ibaka up quite a bit. Don't be surprised if his offensive production dives off a cliff... He can't dribble for the life of him and relied on the pick and pop game with Lowry. Fred couldn't figure out how to get any production out of him, that's for sure...

Also, his defense is atrocious. He might have consistently been our worst defender over the last two years. He literally gets lost or exploited every second play and is super vulnerable to switches, pick and pops, or anything that forces him to guard the perimeter. He's not good at guarding the pick and roll either. Just a super low IQ defensive player. Good shot blocker and rim protector though.

He will block a couple shots but dont let it fool you hes a bad defender,PnR he gets eaten alive because he retreats on the screen because he doesnt want to get beat off the dribble cuz hes slow footed...Hes always 20 feet under the screens on PnRs giving up open jump shots and floaters....Nikkas saying hes an upgrade defensively are just flat out wrong.

Laker/Clipper games this year Bron is gonna be targeting Serge in 1/5 screens with AD all day long until Ty Lue benches him...
