Random NBA Observations 2016 - 2017

I really don't think people understand what they're seeing with him

He's basically the size of a center playing on the wing and running offense.

Yup and does it all fluidly as hell. Plus with his lengthy ass arms and long stride the amount of distance he covers is crazy. There was the one play on the baseline where he seemed a step away from the baseline did the pump fake up and under and was able to throw up a floater. Just bought my tickets to see them at the end of March just to be able to witness it live.

if Minne gets Dragic and Milsap...that pick most likely wouldn't end up being a lottery pick. instead mid 1st rd somewhere

Thibs wants to make the playoffs this year I'm assuming. this would probably get them to that 8th seed at least

That trade is just terrible for Minnesota sorry

someone on twitter suggested a trade

Miami gets: Kris Dunn and a Minnesota's 2017 1st

Atlanta gets: Zach Lavine

Minnesota gets: Goran Dragic & Paul Milsap


I put that into the ESPN trade machine, and to matchup the salaries I had to add a couple pieces.


Miami gets: Kirs Dunn, Brandon Rush, Minnesota's 2017 1st rd pick

Atlanta gets: Zach Lavine, Ricky Rubio, & Pekovic

Minnesota gets: Paul Milsap, Goran Dragic, & Kyle Korver


not perfect, but no trade really is. I thought it was an interesting starting point tho.

thoughts? @tremonthustler1 @#1 pick @HiphopRelated

I thought we'd win between 35-40 games, miss the playoffs, but continue to develop the young talent.

I didn't expect this level of incompetence.

Had they hired a better coach, I don't think they'd be too far off my expectations.

there's no system in place, order, structure....none of that shyt.
I think Watson & PJ Tucker might be on some steeze.

Watson's in love with that dude.Contract year for Tucker---Wouldn't be surprised if PJ's debo'ing him

for playing time.



PJ's "hustle & defense" is overblown like a muthafukka.He had a good game against Anthony Davis

and now they're acting like he's a prime Dennis Rodman.3 years ago, PJ understood his role.He really was

a hustle player.At present, he's shot.Plus he tries to do too much on offense.Between him, Knight, Chandler,

Len, Barbosa, and at times Bleds...the Suns gotta have the lowest team IQ in the league.Especially PJ, Knight,

Len, and Barbosa.That's the pea-brained quartet.

I guess Im not feeling the same frustration because this is mostly what I expected, and also what I think is best for the time being. Unlike previous years where we had delusions of being a playoff team, I knew this was just a year to build for the future and get another lottery pick. Being 15th in the conference >>> being 9th in the conference, especially in a big draft. Basically all those guys you have an issue with will be gone by the time this team is on the right path in a couple years

That's the best way of looking at it.

That's a horrific trade for the Wolves, they lose cap flexibility and two high potential players on rookie deals for guys in their 30s?

We can offer them a veteran stretch 4 making only 6 mil per to sweeten the deal

7-footer Motiejunas signs 1-year deal Pelicans

Pro-rated 1.1 milly vets minimum ... Could they ever find someone who'd take Asik's contract?

LaVine isn't being moved and these dudes don't get it.

With 3 years left on that deal not including this season, no one's touching that unless they attach a valuable asset with it. And the Pelicans don't have many of those

Hope Wiggins isn't too tired from playing video games all night long

I think he'll show up solely cause it's against JoJo's team.

If it wasn't for Embiid, who was drafted in 2014, this would be the woat ROY season

Philly about to have the top two rooks and potentially two more top 5 picks next season
