Stephen A. Smith is rubbing his hands like Birdman rn. Gonna talk about some more texts from anonymous black coaches in the morning

DCAllAfrican Does the top 15 power forwards in NBA history look like this in your book ? 1)Duncan 2) Malone 3) Dirk 4) Giannis 5) Barkley6) Worthy 7) KG Kevin Mchale 9) Petit 10) Elvin Hayes 11) Dennis Rodman 12)Pau Gasol13) Webber 14) Jack Sikma 15) Draymond

James Worthy was a SF

Top 5 is solid, some are interchangeable to be honest.

Appreciate the Jack Silma reference though. That faceup jumper was on point

Whoever trips up first between Mazulla and Thibbs.

Duncan is a center as well but semantics

Grimes going from almost untouchable for Spida as a Knick to being passed around

Wonder what carrot the Mavs have to attach to THJr to get the Pistons to eat that contract.

Do we?

I'm interested in needle movers. Bridges is not one.

Strongly disagree there. Absolutely a needle mover in the right role. No different from Jrue Holiday or Aaron Gordon.

I think you get to a point of diminishing returns with Bridges, like we saw last season. Think he's much better suited as your 3rd-4th guy than 2nd-3rd.

Maybe I'll eventually be proved wrong but he's just not a guy you meet Joe Tsai's asking price to trade for IMO.

Mikal could dictate where he wants to go if he's still a Net a year from now. He's not making enough to sign an extension like others.

He’s just as if not more gifted than OG on that end of the floor and y’all were basically in the conference finals.

Brunson will continue to be guarded by a crowd so having another option to attack closeouts would help significantly. Not to mention the added defensive versatility in the playoffs, which you can never have enough of.

I’d love to see it. But we’re probably a year early.

PG is good in that podcast hosting position. I know it's cool to talk about him like a dead dog but his podcast is good.

 

[RustyShackleford]

I have reached a breaking point where someone having a podcast makes me think less of them.

 

[ill steelo]

Bridges doesn't do anything definitively better than DiVincenzo to make it worth trading for him.

and Paul George is 3x the player Bridges is, come on

I missed some pages. Damn Nick Paul George is on the other side of the hill now. There’s not too many well-paid wings that he’s “3x the player of”

Kal is one of many wings I would rather pay than PG

I'm sure Zach is thrilled with being labelled as a perfect running mate for Joshua.

Is the sentiment/consensus within the fanbase that BPG has played his last game for the Clips also or is that mainly a media thing?

Feels like everyone and their mother has been painting that picture this passed week

Dunno if it's supposed to be a big smokescreen or actually the case
