2021 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: Media Day...SHENANIGANS

[addict4sneakers]

I like Brog a little more because of his affinity for the PnR. Either way they improve significantly with a real 4-out offense.

see I think CJ’s one on one game would be more valuable in the playoffs. Especially with him shooting off the bounce and getting to his spots.

 

[pmatic]

If CJ were a few years younger, I might pull the trigger. But I guess with Embiid's healthy, long-term planning isn't a given.

 

[amitt5504]

McCollum
Green
Maltese Peters
Tobias
Embiid

Could be Milwaukee lite. Embiid would need to take a step but morey scared

Honestly I ain’t mad at it. Would rather start my son Maxey and have Maltese come off the bench lol

That’s a fair point, 2nd round on you definitely need guys comfortable in iso & he’s better than Brog there.

My only thing with CJ is I wish he sought out more contact. His shots & points are often too close & sometimes he doesn’t pass, though he has been better at looking for people.

At least if Brog is off he’s still looking to make plays for others.

But the bigger benefit is really going 4-out. Unfortunately I think they run into another issue with Tobias building homes but I guess time will tell there

I know you one of the harsher Tobias critics but let my man live lol

i do wanna see more Embiid-Harris 2 man game.

Milwaukee did it with Middleton not sniffing the foul line all post season. I think CJ is as good as Middleton or at least comparable. he’s a good PG when dame sits too.

if Tobias starts being Tobias you can always go small with a Seth/ CJ backcourt. But they’ll need another bucket off the bench. Oh wait they got Drummond never mind

Maxey and Protein Shake still around

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Cj would be a win, really any of those guards would

but I’m not using MIL as a barometer like that, same with the suns. Both great teams though

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Didn't CJ step out of bounds in a critical possession during an elimination game against the Nuggets trying to play 1-on-1?

 

[jab step]

How does your return trade centerpiece from Dame to Malcolm Brogdon to Buddy Hield to DLo to Jaden ****ing McDaniels?!? The man has made three consecutive all-star games and is about to get moved for 2nd/3rd year bigs, BevMo and Malik Beasley

I’m pretty confident Jaden McDaniels will be a really good player in the future. No one really knows about him because who is watching Wolves games. But, he can’t be a centerpiece in a Simmons deal. They’re going to want someone better right now for sure.

I don't take anything Magic says seriously. Neither should anyone else.

 

[shotsrangout]

I mean he was...

we all thought he would develop a jump shot and if he eventually does he is a top 5 to 10 player in the league

 

[aepps20]

Benjamin needs to focus on becoming PM of Australia. They don't like Crumb Bums there but he has potential to make them happy.

 

[HIM]

If he gets traded for Brogdon we should unban Bucem for his reaction. All those Saric > Brogdon posts will be brought back up by yours truly

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Ben was never on Lebron's level. He was always more comparable to someone like Julius Randle. And Randle might be the better player at this point

 

[iheartboost]

You’re misinterpreting it.

If Laker fans that live in LA are ever salty about anything, just know that it’s never about the Clippers

Quite the opposite. LA Laker fans care about 3 things;

1. Lakers
2. Kobe
3. Clippers

CJ was also the best player in a series where his tough 1 on 1 shots, sent Portland to its first WCF in like 20 years.

He gets unfairly criticized imo. Dude can hoop, but has limitations.

 

[finessence]

Simmons handle ain’t even raw. For someone deemed a 6’9” point guard. His handle average as hell.

I guess D.Rose ain’t come after lebron....

 

[iheartboost]

Magic was on to something. Ben was projected to be Lebron status at the time, he had the height, he had the weight, he had the passing ability, the handles and his IQ was good. He was only missing the elite jump shot, which you can work on....

....problem is, he never worked on it

 

[Kinfolk]

Theres caring and there’s “salty”.

There isn’t a single legitimate reason to be salty about anything the Clippers have done or are doing

I'm curious if the Simmons dump off to Thybulle resulted in two made three throws instead of a split, would Simmons still be getting ran outta Philly like this?

To me, Thybulle could've had a three point play & it wouldn't matter.

Simmons still passed the ball in that situation.

they really got the instagram dude in that lol

what is that? a podcast?
