It’s ironic Houston got to see San Antonio Twice before the season starts. As I sat there and watched the spurs, it really reinforced the stance and the belief in the rockets not taking jsut any package for Hardens. The spurs haven’t been the same since Kawhi. They handled that trade situation so badly and show no signed of recovery anytime soon. They got older and worst with no sign of draft compensation. They’re essentially the poster boy for what not do when your stats player wants to force his way out.

You still not giving Lonzo his due. His vision is up there with anybody. Yea i agree his passiveness limits his game. But let's not kid ourselves...you couldnt name 5 better playmakers in the league today better.

I never knew Lamelo could be this talented as a playmaker/passer tho
you can't be serious

how can you be a playmaker when you can't initiate plays?:dwillhuh:

he can't make plays in the half course

when he does get an assist in the half court, it's because the shooter got himself open from cuts and screen and Lonzo masks the obvious pass from the top from the key without even penetrating.

he's not even the best playmaker on the Pelicans (Ingram)

Van Gundy is gonna have him mostly offball this season

How are people still saying Lonzo is one of the best playmakers in 2020

elite 3D is his ceiling with good passing(not playmaker)

milton is not better than Kuz.


Montezl, Schroeder and THT cancel out Simmons.

I'm not saying milton is better but kuz isnt that valuable. THT is promising but Harrell and Schroder are just bench dudes. Nobody taking that shyt. Simmons alone has more value than all them solo

I dont get why the Pistons didnt value Christian Wood and then signed Jerami Grant and Miles Plumlee...

CW only got 13 mil a season,if he keeps this up that will be one helluva of a value contract...

Yea they fukked up. Grant is a role player who thinks hes better than he is....Plumlee is a dime a dozen backup big. Pistons hustling backwards:francis:
Wood lookin like a more skilled Drummond

Wood might be the best pick and roll big that harden has ever played with
agree. and capela wasn't too bad. i'm waiting for the other shoe to drop because he can't possibly be this good (great hands, handle, can finish with both hands around the basket, mid-range and 3's). last season has to be a fluke right?
