Every podcast, Grantland becomes more and more a mythical workplace that did amazing work, had the best employees, and the easiest going boss (Simmons) but evil ESPN shut them down for no reason. When in actuality Bill was the only real draw and it started flailing immediately after he left.
I dont know that I have ever heard him own up to being the one who killed it. Yet, he talks about it like it was completely avoidable.

Shades of IT vs Irving
But on a serious note- someone need to trade for scary. Always wanted him on the Mavs too

Ant really putting it all together. Athleticism, skill, footwork. Closest to Kobe.

Can’t wait to pull up the LaMelo is better than Ant receipts.
You guys are just late to the party.

Sixers are 3-7 without embiid this season
I think they eventually move up to 2nd tbh as long as big fella is healthy

25-5-8 vs 26-5-5???? Shooting splits, basically identical and Lamelo is the better playmaker surrounded by worst talent.
Only thing in Lamelo's way is his ankles and the Hornets organization. I like both guys, but still.

Just going to ignore the defense eh. ok

Lamelo gets more steals, but gambles more. Ant doesn't get as many steals but is a more solid defender, Ant also gets to play with better defenders around him.
I still think both of them are dead locked even.

Ant can lock down 1-3 at times 1v1 vs elite scorers
That’s not something that has to do with who his teammates are

Playing defense is definitely a team mentality. Lamelo is fully capable of generating those same stops.

Nobody acting like lamelo is a cone though
One was on his way to all defensive team and one clearly isn’t
But if you want to dig deeper than your initial post of raw stats which is always an elementary (pun intended) way of looking at things
I would say ant is more dynamic of a scorer. He puts way more pressure on the rim. Finished way better at the rim. Creates way more in the midrange and finishes way better in the midrange

Is this a fair comparison at this point? The situations are so different
- 49,802

I think it is.
I much rather have Anthony Edwards on my team than LaMelo.
But if you want to wait that’s fine. We can keep waiting.
