2021 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: Media Day...SHENANIGANS

If they draft giddy then maybe that’s the replacement

TBH, today was my first time hearing Giddey was a potential target. I know the Grizz met with Cam, Bouk and Moody amongst guys in the top 10.

Givony bringing up Giddey confused me a bit, but now Kuminga's name popping up with KOC. If we are replacing SloMo, just give me Franz.

 

[jab step]

He never was. As long as he has Steph & Klay to feed off of, he's easy money! Take them away and he puts up stat filler buckets.

[big j 33]

Great deal for New Orleans.

Now match Lonzo

 

[ahat]

My guy JV aka Travis Kelce and Zee On gonna be a problem

 

[addict4sneakers]

Think Adams sees a bit of an uptick in production playing with Ja and JJJ as opposed to Alfonzo and Zeeon. Still a downgrade from Valancunias, but drop off might not be massive.

he averaged a whopping 11 playing with 3 PGs last year in OKC. Might as well played Tillman and moved valley elsewhere

-FOH

As the best player in the world now, (the way some tell it), he was the clear cut leader of a team bounced in the 2nd round, and is the best player on a USA roster looking funny in the light while he's playing half-hearted defense and getting meaningless buckets.

So they can be a 9 seed for the foreseeable future?

 

[wavycrocket]

17/7/7 for Zo. Wherever he at

Yeah, I’m with addict4sneakers that it’s not going to work that well since Zion and Jonas are most effective offensively in the same areas of the court, but JV is definitely an upgrade over Adams.

 

[addict4sneakers]

I would target Moody or Wagner at #10.

is kispert too much of a reach?

 

[youngwolf]

Pelicans need to move Ingram, Bledsoe, and Adams this summer. Zion deserves better.

Two down. One more bum to go.

 

[pmatic]

I think I mocked Kispert to the Pelicans at #10. Probably a tad high, but not outrageous to me.

Ja is significantly better than all 3 of them. It'll just be easy dump offs for him like he got with Russ. Couldn't get those in New Orleans since Lonzo can't dribble and is allergic to the paint. Will have more room to operate in there too since JJJ will be on the perimeter a bit more than Zeeon was.

Probably ends up giving you like 14 and 8 a game or something like that. I'm not saying he's some force or anything like that, and I do think he's a downgrade from Valancunias, but he'll play his role decently.

 

[shuges]

I remember the pacers having fans when PG took them to the ECF. Is @misterp is still around? The guy who became a radio show host. I think he was involved in that chitownlegend catfish that was pretending to be a guy and a girl on here

Say what?

Him and I had heat at one point. I don't even remember over what. Likely some dumb ****.

He's from Indiana but not sure if he was actually a Pacers fan though.

We’re down to like one Bulls fan who stills posts actively, right? They used to be pretty strong on here back in the day/

A lot of fanbases were represented well on here back in the day.

It's either that dudes grew up and moved on from posting, some things changed on NT that prohibited those fans from posting, or the Knicks/Lakers fans made it unpleasant to post.

Or a small combination of all of the above.

Or something else that I'm missing.

significantly better than SGA and CP3? Ehhhhhhh

The spacing will be better yes. I agree

 

[lovehateself]

bledsoe's contract basically getting stretched

If you're talking about who I think you're talking about, he's actually a Laker fan that lived in Indy.

Ya major upgrade ja morant whopping 7 assists gonna make adams better lmaooo. Him and adams are certified scrubs stop blaming the young core of Lonzo bi and Zion for coaching and scrubbed veterans

Combination thereof PLUS... Bulls suck now, and have for a while, and will for a while.

Hopefully, this is an inside joke.

Otherwise,

Sorry misread your original and thought you were talking about the Pelicans guards

I do think he gets easier looks with Ja than SGA and CP though. He attacks relentlessly.

teams going under all his screens clogs stuff up through. I need him taking more shots off the dribble this season though. That’s for sure

 

[iheartboost]

Cool. I hear Schroder is available.

For sure. My main point is I just don't think you're completely dropping off a cliff going from Valancunias to Adams. Then factor in that they must really value someone they can get at 10 as opposed to 17. Moody would be it for me. 40th pick can probably get them a decent prospect too. Draft is pretty deep to like 45 or so.
