The Official NBA Season Thread: Las Vegas Summer League

[WASHED KING]

55, 58, 52, 57 , 64 and 60 is Jimmy's last 6 seasons of games played.

And he's been hurt in almost every postseason run

and Pat just called him broken a month ago

Poor man's Kawhi

I’m not mad at Jimmy being poor man’s Kawhi

Im just saying Kawhi is middle class Jimmy.

Boozer was literally All-NBA when he was on the 08 team

He wasn't a superstar so he was a role player.

THE only 2 classifications in the NBA.

Gilbert Arenas would of had Boozers spot if he wasnt Adidas.

 

[JMB10215]

But ah yes one time ever 3rd team all nba is enough to get out role player status.

 

[pums]

They only had 3 bigs then.

Bosh , Tyson Chandler and Boozer. He was the 3rd big

 

[pmatic]

Gilbert Arenas would of had Boozers spot if he wasnt Adidas.

Think he already burned his USA bridges and hurt his knee by 2007.

 

[WASHED KING]

Perception has you believing Jimmy Butler is some sort of Iron Man when being compared to Kawhi. Check his GP Over the last 6 or so years.

Jimmy is 2 years older, has played 118 more career games than Kawhi and had to play under run them into the ground Thibs.

Philly just competing for the all time fugazi hall of fame at this point. MCW, Okafor, Embiid, Yimmy, Ben, Tobias, Harden and now PG. Meanwhile Jrue and Iguodala have 6 rings combined since being traded to kick start the process. Historically unserious team

 

[ill steelo]

As the 12th man, White makes sense. Not sure if he will get much burn which is also alright.

Kerr should play him before booker

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I hate it for Kawhi, same way I hated it for Penny and my dude STAT

Amare is crazy underrated

 

[ill steelo]

Zubac going to have a career year.

Zu was putting every Maverick in the rim and they stopped feeding him after G1 Kawhi came & left, PG was completely locked down.

Looking forward to him being a larger part of the offense next year. He’s ready.

 

[WASHED KING]

Derrick White is the type of dude to bust up his teeth for a loose ball lol. He hits open shots on the regular and has great defense. Im sure the stars on the U.S. squad would be happy to have him on there.

USA team removing Kawhi and adding Derrick White would make them a better team.

 

[NickFolarin]

Booz and Redd were role players in 08 bruv. Those are the facts. Maybe not Mike but fasho Carlos. You can make an all star team and be a role player.

Carlos Boozer averaged 21 & 10 and got MVP votes in 2007-2008. He was far from a role player.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Cooper Flagg probably coulda been the #1 pick this year

 

[sohi 23]

Cooper Flagg probably coulda been the #1 pick this year

no probably coulda, he def would’ve been.
Aj Dybantsa would’ve been the first pick this year too

 

[pmatic]

Cooper Flagg probably coulda been the #1 pick this year

There might be five or six guys that would be #1 picks this year in next year's draft.

 

[B Sox]

Zu was putting every Maverick in the rim and they stopped feeding him after G1 Kawhi came & left, PG was completely locked down.

Looking forward to him being a larger part of the offense next year. He’s ready.

The team never leaned all the way into letting Jimbo just run the offense. Doesn’t mean he needs to be the leading scorer.

 

[RustyShackleford]

Snakeskin Books might be on the way fellas....

Fit already selected to go with these bangers....

 

[ballinsam23]

All these new shoes/cws and so many players still wearing Kobes

Nike hit on all cylinders with most the Kobe lows

 

[aepps20]

Feel bad for Kawhi but at this point he should put his focus on the playoffs. Limit any basketball until the playoffs because his body can't hold up.

As for White being on Team USA, I like it. Team USA will be seeing a lot of zone and Box and 1s on guys at times so having a hustle guy that will hit open shots is key. I wish the squad had more impact bigs Brosizzlew30.23

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

I agree. We only have one true center on the roster and we know dem European squads got all kinds of 7-foot Sasquatch size Bigs

We all know AD and Bam are true power forwards, they’re going to have to play physical in the Olympics.

Winning Gold is not going to be a given.

Carlos Boozer averaged 21 & 10 and got MVP votes in 2007-2008. He was far from a role player.

Yall got it bro. I'll concede Boozer. Im not gonna argue the facts. His son still gonna be better than him and he still a goofy for wearing a whole can of paint on his head in an actual NBA game.

[JMB10215]

This is Carlos Boozers true legacy

 

[JMB10215]

Aja is fine. If I was 6’6 plus I would definitely holla
