The Official NBA Season Thread: Kings Fire Mike Brown

[ill steelo]

Hopefully since it’s the off-season now, Kawhi will repair it instead of going the Wade route and stripping it out. Hopefully that’s what the staff is suggesting at this point

1. The better Center isn't that great, especially in the playoffs and him being a defensive liability. This is the team's ceiling with the three players so the status quo is the worst spot to be in. Trading for flexibility and complimentary pieces is the better option.
2. By trading away one of the two Centers, you get to create a more balanced team. This twin tower experiment is not working
3. You can't really trade away Gobert without giving up assets (which they don't have), I can't see a team willing to take on Gobert's contract even if they desperately need a defensive Center like Dallas. That contract and length of Contract is untreadable.
4. This is just a theory, but by focusing on one Center and his ability/ limitations, you can actually build a team that will utilize his skillsets better and maybe see the more dominant version of Gobert and up his value moving forward...again...big maybe but the D'lo for Conley swap did help.

Was so easy to predict lol

By stupidly trading for rudy they were gonna be forced to trade the better center in KAT

They’re both limited but sure, trade for and keep the worse out of the two who caps your ceiling and has a much more limited team potential

If they can move Gobert, that will be amazing. But which team will actually want him? And what can the Wolves give up to get him? His contract makes him a negative asset. I actually do see Dallas needing someone like Rudy, especially if they keep Kyrie. But will they actually take on that contract? That's a hard pill to swallow.

 

[nick.]

Dane cook and Chris pine openly questioning if ant will ever trust rudy and referenced a number of plays where ant had no interest in looking goberts way

Lol

Sounds

Familiar

what the hell were you listening to that those two people were together talking about Wolves basketball

 

[Moheezy]

Yeah, I should have been clearer. In the case of Cavs-Knicks, it’s not the game play that’s entertaining; it’s the Knicks fan euphoria. I want to see the pandemonium from them closing out the series at home. LOL.

I'm rooting for the Heat to beat the Bucks because Jimmy vs MSG will be AMAZING!

Dawg- I had just watched waiting lol Dane cook on the brain

Dane Moore and Chris hine just got mistaken for completely different people

 

[toneboi76]

But Mario Chalmers told me nobody feared Lebron

 

[Maximus Meridius]

MLGA sure loves beating a dead horse. Y’all hated Lil’ Bron, we get it and don’t anyone dare give him some flowers.

Laker haters hated him too.

Again, once he got out a Lakers jersey and in a clippers jersey people was slobbering to have the storyline that "Russ gets revenge with the rival clippers!!!".

They know ball

Don’t put that on us bro

Again- I will burn this whole city down

Confession: I actually like the movie with Dane Cook and Jessica Simpson when they work in a Costco. Its kind of stupid amusing.

 

[noblekane]

Impact big!!!! Rudy gobert

Got destroyed on the boards when it counted against Denver!!!!!!

Impact f’n bigs baybeeeeee

[noblekane]

aepps20 thought that was ron desantis in a celtics jersey for a minute

 

[picasso swerve]

So basically its gonna start at 9 and 830.

 

[Blue Mamba]

There’s really no other to characterize Brooks going from “I don’t care. He’s old…I poke bears” after a win to basically fleeing from the building without saying anything after 2 Ls in which he played like ***. Indisputably soft.

Like others in here have said, if he said literally anything to the media after either of the last two games - he would not be getting the same heat.

Not if he said “I bet Lebron can’t score 60 on me. He’s too washed.”

Haven't seen that dude since Dan in Real life

The movie I mentioned is from 2006. I haven’t seen anything from him after that. LOL.

Of course you did

 

[aepps20]

aepps20 thought that was ron desantis in a celtics jersey for a minute

Would I be wrong?

 

[picasso swerve]

I kinda want a Dubs vs Suns WCF, but Lakers vs Suns dont sound too bad. Lakers vs Boston would be epic.

Dlo with a ring, Wiggs with one last year. Id be sick if I was Kat stuck with Goobs.

I could see Dallas having some level of interest in Rudy, but it’s gonna be at the cost of Minnesota likely taking back Bertans, Bullock and Maxi without any pick capital coming back.

I’d have a hard time believing someone’s giving Minnesota picks to take on that contract under the new CBA landscape.

Yep.

Gotta have the pregame kickoff show, players introductions and most importantly the singing of the national anthem with the US flag stretched out over the court cuz 'Merica.
