2022 NBA Offseason Thread: Preseason kicks off; Things are fine in Los Angeles, Draymond beats the charges

Future Knick Donovan Mitchell has a career avg of 25 per at 6’1.

6’10 wingspan make him different tho.

Maybe if Gobert wasn’t such a goober the assist numbers would be better than 5.

Spoiler

I was back and forth but now I’m down for acquiring Spida just before the szn starts.

Still having most young assets with their highest potential at only 22, this gets them VERY competitive in da East.

50 wins with the supposed lineups after the dust settles from that swap. He’s not the final piece but probably 1/2 left to become legit contenders.

Spida & Broadway Barrett (& Grimes hopefully) is enough backcourt to make JB super expendable too. He can be traded at AS break if something major shakes loose.

 

[WASHED KING]

Hawks can beat Philly as currently constructed

There is no reason to be afraid of 2022 James harden.

HOU$TON amitt5504

There is no reason to be afraid of the sixers either.

How you call somebody small when they forced you into a fadeaway after all that dribble dribble.

Think the Hawks' outlook this season will depend more on DeAndre Hunter being healthy and making a jump. Okongwu to a lesser extent too.

He’s gotta stay healthy too. He made a pretty good jump a year ago then got hurt. Basically a make or break year for him.

Harden is who he is.
Doc still coaching.
Embiid hasn’t been dominant in the playoffs since the bubble.
Tobias Harris.
PJ close to being power washed

Not afraid at all

Agreed. Tobias needs to be better

For starters huerter and Bogdan are 6'7" and 6'6" respectively. Secondly neither of them are particularly skinny.

Murray, while being solid defensively vs. other 1s, hasn't been named all defense since 2018.

If he has to guard bigger, stronger 2 guards, will he hold up?

He'll prob pick up the most talented offensive guard night in/out. However, when he does, where does that leave young? Especially if Murray checks the point.

A starting back court that's skinny, and no taller than 6'4"... And not really defensive minded?

I'm not saying it can't work... But, I'm inclined to believe that it will be their weakness.

Imo

Corey Brewer was 6’9” 180-190lbs his whole career and was routinely one of the best defenders in the league. Not having much mass does not mean you’ll automatically be food on defense

That looks exactly like Jordan Poole's movements.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Motherland Jordan Poole is a funny name though.

 

[WASHED KING]

That video just confirmed I just hate any player who plays like that.

Kids modeling their game after Jordan Poole now.

GOOD MORNING RustyShackleford

You must lack creativity and imagination. Kind of hypocritical to slander the saucessless 60s players and then throw shade at that young king

 

[HOU$TON]

There is no reason to be afraid of 2022 James harden. Dejounte will be just fine guarding him.

Relax. Murray himself knows he can’t guard harden. It’s basically what Russ told dame but the truth. Harden been torturing that man for YEARS.

I said he lacked whatever that “it” factor was a minute ago. Said he wasn’t a leader either. Still my guy though.
