Loun Deng and they're coming out the west

deng>>>>>>>>>>>>green easily.
Green has played better than him across the season and is a better fit for Memphis. Less mileage, better at creating his own shot, more durable, more capable of having the offense run through him, can lead the fast break, better defender and better at moving off the ball.

Hawks should get in on that Green action too. He'd push them into contenders territory.

• The love for all things Louisiana by Pelicans owner Tom Benson and his wife, Gayle, is well-known. That could be why the hot rumor circulating around the league right now is that if Benson decides the team is not meeting expectations and makes changes, he will bring in two Louisiana natives as replacements—former Detroit Pistons GM Joe Dumars and former Nets/Mavericks head coach Avery Johnson.

The Lakers are trash from top to bottom. The Suns are one of the best, exciting young teams on the come up. Get out on the break, fast-paced, break your man down on iso.
You're failing to see the point in that Lakers comparison. If Dragic was stuck on a team you didn't like (sharing the ball wit Bledsoe and Thomas), you wouldn't be calling any remark 'dumb' for suggesting he'd be better off on another team.
That's Goran's game and that's the Suns' game. To suggest he needs to be "freed" or he's stuck is nonsense.
It's not at all nonsense, I'm valid in thinking that he would be utilized better and a better fit on another team, like for instance Dallas.
He's not playing any different than he would otherwise or than he did last year - he just had more of the burden to shoulder (and he was worn out by the end of the season because of it, btw.) He's still the leader of the team and the player they covet most so they're not just gonna let him walk because they signed Isaiah Thomas to come off the bench.

You know very well that this three PG backcourt isn't built to last, and this stage Dragic looks to be the odd-man out, all things considered.

That MVP talk was fun for about 3 games

Westbrook overrating dying down now that he's played a month of games, it was all good when he was shytting on trash teams for a week tho :sas2:
:mjlol:

3 games? Overrating? Only shytting on trash teams for a week? Casual fans keep exposing themselves

He's played flat-out bad for the last 5 games, but prior to that he was putting up -

30 ppg on 47% shooting, 7 apg, 6 rpg, 2 spg in only 33 minutes across 16 games (without the Clippers game he left through injury after only playing 8 minutes).

Regardless of that, people were crowning him the best player playing a 5th of the season :mjlol:

People thought he'd keep up that high efficiency and ppg would stay

Only going to go down from here :sas2:

To be fair, it's not completely Ariza's fault. He's asked to do way too much on your team. He's a role player basically been asked to play the role of a #2 option, lead the team in minutes and guard the best perimeter defender night-in and night-out.
Hes not asked to do anything. Its a free flow offense. If there s a shot.he likes, he takes it. Now if you want to blame mchale for not being more role specific and restrictive on the offensive side then be my guess. But theres no responsibility or accountabilty in this system. You get more punished for the shot you dont take then the shot you do

He was the most dominant player since he returned from injury and NOBODY thought he'd maintain those scoring numbers on the same efficiency for a season - no guard has been put up those type of numbers in NBA history.

That wasn't sustainable though. He's back at his career norms with 43% fg amd 26% from three (a shade below his career average). He's a streaky player.
