That Booker bullshyt pretty much sums up how this season is going for the Thunder

If it wasn't for bad luck, we'd have no luck at all......... something wrong with durant tho, hope it's temporary. I see white Kobe out there doing what he always do to us, as well as ANOTHER milsap

Defense has fallen off a cliff

Lavine can be brutal to watch play PG at times.

Love posted up nearly a quarter of all his possessions last year and has been doing it for close to a third of them in Cleveland. For the past few years he's posted up more than he's done anything else. The fact that he's a rangy shooter tends to obscure that.

I'd agree that MCW isn't optimally complementary to Embiid's skillset in the long run but not to the point where they can't grow together on a non contender for a season or two.
When it comes to spacing for post up bigs, the range of other bigs and wings on the team has a much more pronounced effect on spacing that that of smaller guards. The Hornets have close to zero flexibility in that regard on top of having non-shooting guards so its no wonder they can't score.

The Sixers are working with less than nothing in that regards and even with Embiid healthy the shape of a team simply isn't there so this really ain't even worth even thinking about just yet. Those concerns should materialise and become of high import once the team knows what its trying to be and that won't be on the cards this year (or maybe even next year).

You've got it backwards with the Kidd trade. It fell through because of Joumana and the Nets signing Zo. RC and Pop pulled out all the stops in recruiting him and were disappointed that it fell through.

He posted up 22% of the time last season and while that's a decent clip he wasn't necessarily good at it, so you're really not making a very good case for a non-offensive PG and post player working together -

. But Love shoots just 41.2 percent in the post and scores 0.881 points per possession, which places him in the 62nd percentile of NBA players. Sure, that may be better than over half the league, but as a power forward, Love should do better.

If you agree that MCW isn't a complimentary piece to Embiid what are you really arguing breh, are you arguing just for the sake of it? The Sixers have Embiid, Nerlens and Saric, that is 3 positions where they aren't getting 3 point shooting which leaves just PG and SG for those roles, so MCW not being able to shoot will be detrimental to the development of the team. The Sixers would have the same problem the Hornets currently have, only worse since MCW is an even worse shooter than Kemba and Nerlens is worse for spacing than Zeller or Marvin.

Memphis discussing Pondexter trades on several fronts, but focus is three-way deal with him going to New Orleans, sources tell Yahoo.
