The Official NBA Season Thread: USA Setting Up for a SFA

[antidope]

Have not been impressed with the front office at all during the rebuild. I guess you can’t keep hitting grand slams forever but still.

Primo over Al P, Vassell over Haliburton.

So much young talent in the league and the most exciting part about Wemby being there is being coached by Pop.

This all starts with not tanking early enough

The increased muscle and lower leg injuries have slowed AD's fluidity. The jump shot never progressed, but the mobility and ball handling was there with younger AD.

He was an alien in New Orleans but he never looked like an oversized 3.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

His footwork is insane. In the midrange to me it looks obvious that he studied a lot of Kobe's game. And on defense the way he can shuffle and chop his steps to swivel around. He could just use his size but he likes to use his feet. He's unnecessarily skilled

I feel like it’s clearly (shoutout kuz) different than any other 7 footer we’ve seen

Although I’m open to have someone post a montage of Anthony Davis or otherwise showing similar moves, perimeter ball skills that victor has shown in the past year or two

[QU!K]

Dawg AD still doesn’t have the perimeter footwork that victor already has right now

Nor the shot diversity off the bounce

With all due respect,

I feel like you’re discrediting AD a bit.



I thought more mobile covered the footwork on the perimeter

But I’ll give you that he’s a more willing shooter from range.

I’ll close the gap a bit from my original stance however I feel like this montage is mostly what osh wants victor to become

A streamlined no nonsense shot taking approach

Victor is a big that can make you forget he’s a big. Davis is a big who has can pull off some wing moves

There’s a difference still to my original point

 

[Raji Lowenthal]

Victor is a big?

 

[sharpshooter718]

Silkk was the Thanasis Antetokounmpo of rap.

Don't disrespect silk like that ... His track with mya is a classic ..

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Victor is a big?

Exactly

 

[Raji Lowenthal]

Exactly

He's not even tall, how tf he a big?

Jordan Crawford on teagues podcast is an instant classic

Jeff Teague: “Im a *****, but THOSE some *****s”



That’s some of the most accurate **** in Youth basketball lol. The difference

I legit don't remember AB phasing out of the league-- he was just here, then he wasn't

Do you have a Wemby Bet Tracker? Or BIG LEEMELONE might know because I think he is at the center of a lot of the Wemby bets.

I respect the hell out of Lee’s conviction. Every time he has a take that he believes in, he puts the money up. I want to say he was up to $1K on the line for Warriors-Lakers series

Is anyone putting any action on Zion (games played, maybe) or Timberwolves/OKC standings? Those could be interesting

Eye test and the numbers never quite matched up with him. To think the Warriors vets wanted to keep him on the roster over GP2 in that last championship season.

After his Celtic days I just remember him always being a laker but not really being a laker

Then I looked back and seen that he opted out of the bubble. Went on to two different teams and then back to the lakers

He was on the 22' roster for the Warriors?

Who's on the East's "No Excuse" list? Just Milwaukee, or Boston and Milwaukee?

Both. They're the only 2 eastern teams, arguably the whole NBA, that made significant upgraded off-season moves.
