They have everything you would need in this modern NBA except size in the paint.
Team is really going to miss Hartenstein this season. I’ve been a Noel fan so I was bummed when he didn’t end up here. Myles Turner would beast on this team but idk if I’d be happy trading zu for him. Really curious how we fill our backup big minutes. I think Whiteside is still out there and so is Dwight. I’d prefer whiteside as I don’t wanna root for Dwight.
Also Luke can put it on the floor too
True. Not like Norm can but I get your point.

Dwight will do his job and not bytch. Whiteside I'm not so sure. Still, the team needs backup bigs.

Yeah but that’s all he can do. Norms probably 60% the shooter but has ball handling nda defense. That ball handling is going to lead some frustrating turnovers. Won’t be as bad as Reggie but he’s a little gassed on himself.

It’s crazy we got a lot shyt for the Luke deal and the extension. But I’d much rather have Luke on the deal he’s on than the Joe Harris, Duncan Robinson, or the Buddy Hield deals. I can’t recall the Seth curry deal off the top of my head.

I think the front office could win the award for best one every year. But folks have already burned out on that. Nothing matters at this point besides a title and anything else is a failure.
At least the team has Norm, Reggie, Mann, PG, etc for backup ballhanding duties.

Ballmer probably paid for more cyberware for Kawhi.

Kawhi probably got a firmware upgrade, an upgraded Sandevistan, and reinforced tendons. :wow:

On paper yall loaded as hell hopefully they’ll make that run to the finals
If they were ever to win it all, it'd be this year. They have everything required.

I saw an interview last week where Lue mentioned pulling Zubac early to go small. He also said Morris is the starting pf but really i think their most intriguing lineup will be if/when they have George/Kawhi/Batum/Roco all on the floor... whether they go small with that (Wall) or supersized (Zubac), that's some top tier defense and versatility.

I think they could have possibly beat phoenix if kawhi doesn’t get injured but I’m not sure if they could have beaten the bucks

I think LAC would've won it all.

Granted, both teams were shaky that post-season but LAC seemed to have been turning the corner whereas MIL didn't really gain their footing until desperation time in the Finals.

Hart looked a little shook in the play in games but we'll still miss him tho. Watch out for Moussa Diabate. Still early as hell but so far he's looking like a Great Value/diet Jaren Jackson Jr on the Grizzlies

The Warriors are in a sh*t storm, the Suns can't stand each other, Lakers don't have a bench, can Denver stay healthy? Still got Minnesota, Dallas & the Pels out there but man if we can stay relatively healthy :lupe:

Dallas are frauds. I don't believe in them. I wouldn't be shocked to see them fall off.
