Must be a weird feeling to actually be in the NBA and another player is compared to your pops more than you are

TBF, Jokic plays like the version 30+ year old Arvydas most of us saw in the NBA after he dealt with all the injuries. For all we know Domantas might be more similar to a 20+ year old Arvydas before the NBA & injuries

well other than the face, their style of play is quite different.

Doc Rivers just happy y’all forgot about his twitter. Zion took all the attention now.
Doc will never live this down.

I hear you but I don’t see many dudes going out sad like this if they were side piece to a famous female celebrity and found out another dude knocked her up. I can’t think of any precedent with the exception of maybe Kevin Federline (I don’t recall the full story but I think he got child support from Britney Spears).

Trading Bam for a small PG that can’t defend on a super max contract ain’t it IMO. Their front court is getting killed as is. Can’t afford to lose their best option in that area for Dame.
One good thing about this run for Miami is that Duncan Robinson’s trade value has gone up. He went from being a Bertans type trade piece to a guy you can actually put in your rotation in both the regular season and playoffs.

Honestly I can't think of any fit for Damian Lillard that gets him a title outside of going to a place where they are just simply overwhelming everyone else with pure talent. Like the Suns maybe or something.
I love Dame and I think he's a winner but I think the formula to win with him gets more difficult as time goes on. He's REALLY bad on the defensive end now.

Nah. Duncan had one great game. Otherwise teams will make mistake on overpaying these players like before.

He's already proven he can do that or they wouldn't have been one of the last few teams standing year after year. I think you mean he needs some scoring taken off his plate so he can play his two way game at the highest level.

It was just another day back then. Rewatching those interviews today is wild because back then we weren't even shook. That interview, the Jordan sunglasses interview about gambling, etc.An interview like this in 2023 is unfathomableI’m thinking if it did happen it would be on ABC. I know their go to for “feature interviews“ is Malika but she definitely wouldn’t do a ‘view like this. Probably goes to one of the dudes on the Countdown Crew (Jalen/Wilbon/SAS/Greenberg).
That had to be a crazy time as a fan seeing one of the greatest players of all-time go out like that

Mazzulla adding a bunch of guys to his staff that are capable of replacing him. Idk if that’s smart.

Cassell been an assistant for over 10 years and not even the lead. Good for Charles Lee though.

He came back from injury and was getting DNP-CDs and playing garbage minutes from the end end of March to the end of the regular season. He’s been getting legit minutes this postseason, shooting 45% from 3 on 5 3PA and has shown he can actually put the ball on the floor from time to time. His value is absolutely up from where it was at damn near any point this season - pre or post injury.
It’s not really a matter of other teams overpaying players in the future. It’s the fact that a team might be more receptive to taking back his ~$19MM per year over the next 3 seasons to facilitate a trade for that 3rd guy to pair with Jimmy and Bam. Said team is probably rebuilding and will be worried about draft capital over those seasons so it’s probably worth it if you can get 3 firsts and 2 swaps.

I wouldn’t doubt Dame’s defensive effort in a better situation. Not about to overthink it but again don’t know how contracts are going work going forward
