Steph Curry Sitting At Home During The Playoffs, Hating On Dame
- Thread starter CHICAGO
- Start date
These posters don't watch basketball like that. They can't even name one guy Dame has played with since 2013
Still afraid to talk teammatesDame been in a league a while now. Surely you could put a list together.
@ me when you do..
Breh, getting jerami grant and thybulle was supposed to improve their defense
But because Dame is a bad team defender, they are forced to run zone defense... and thus they suck
This is what I'm talking about. Is Dame's front office that good? No, but he males it harder for them
Even Curry back in 2015, before he was a good on ball defender, was still a very good team defender

Nonsense. If Grant and Thybulle (who wasn't even playing on Philly anymore) are your big moves.... then you ain't gonna be shyt
You and @Don Homer both lost again
I’d say given the ridiculous amounts of daps I’ve received itt, and the fact that u can’t seem to get any, I’d say I thoroughly wonNonsense. If Grant and Thybulle (who wasn't even playing on Philly anymore) are your big moves.... then you ain't gonna be shyt

Only daps I see are from people who are delusional stans
Maybe one of them can list the best teammates Dame has had since you're too scared to 
Man you're intentionally missing the point. Thybille and Grant were supposed to improve their defense, but Dame's deficiencies nullified this.Nonsense. If Grant and Thybulle (who wasn't even playing on Philly anymore) are your big moves.... then you ain't gonna be shyt

His teams lacking talent is partly a product of HIM

You're missing the point. The guy couldn't get minutes on Philly. Those aren't upgrades. They are at best... role players. Best case scenario. Every other All-NBA player has 1 or 2 other all-star teammates to play off of..
The only delusional stan here is you. You really need to stop embarrassing yourself. There's a reason why even the OP doesn't post in here anymore.Only daps I see are from people who are delusional stans
Breh, elite players can take role players to the fukking play in
Embiid had thybulle, young Maxey, and post-hamstring Harden for like half the season and comfortably made the playoffs
What all-nba system would want to play with Lillard?

One of their beat writers broke down the problems with the roster, it's all about the teammates and nothing more
The Blazers are trying to thread a very fine needle. Rebuild the roster in 24-ish months after trading an entire bench of veteran role players away at last year’s trade deadline.
For that to happen, they need some players to exceed expectations in a big way. General manager Joe Cronin is all but banking on finding the next Will Barton, Jerome Kersey, or Gary Trent Jr. hidden on the bench. For a talent-poor team, having a couple role players or second rounders wildly exceed expectations is the most expedient path to building depth.
Longtime Blazer fans know this well. Robin Lopez making leaps powered the 2013-14 team to 54 wins. Travis Outlaw briefly becoming a serviceable starter created the perfect sidekick for Brandon Roy. Nic Batum went from a “draft and stash” project to multiyear starting point forward overnight.
There hasn’t really been another Batum, or even Outlaw, on this year’s roster. The closest we got was Drew Eubanks, who did yeoman’s work filling in during starting center Jusuf Nurkic’s extended absence. But Eubanks seems to have topped out as a solid backup center.
The Blazers need more players to exceed expectations. They haven’t. Nassir Little’s shooting and athleticism have made for exciting highlights, but lackluster defense has left him on the fringe of the rotation. Josh Hart inexplicably became 3-point-phobic after a strong start to the season; he was traded at the deadline to avoid a terse free agent negotiation. Justise Winslow and Nurkic had their seasons derailed by injuries. Gary Payton II barely played before an acrimonious trade. The jury is still out on newcomers Matisse Thybulle and Cam Reddish.
The lack of breakout role players has left the Blazers with a shallow bench and Cronin with few appealing trade options. That’s not the recipe to fix a roster inside of two years.
The Blazers did not fully prioritize winning this season, at least in terms of roster management. They let a $4.1 million biannual exception for signing free agents expire unused. They didn’t fortify the big-man rotation at the trade deadline in the wake of Nurkic’s injury, despite a glaring lack of size and rebounding. Cronin traded away Hart and didn’t get back a player who could match his skill level.
None of these moves was particularly damning in a vacuum—acquiring a first-round pick for Hart may be a net win in the long run—but it does raise questions about the franchise’s long-term priorities.
Specifically, their payroll was conspicuously close to the luxury tax line before shedding salary at the trade deadline. That’s a line they likely can’t dodge much longer: Grant rejected a four-year, $112 million extension earlier this year. They can’t afford not to re-sign him this summer as letting him walk won’t create enough cap space to sign a player of similar value.
