  1. I’m not saying this list is bad but Tre Wisner is first team RB for the entire conference when he’s not even first team RB for his own team.
  2. Needs more Mr. Nimbus.
  3. This thread title is so living up to its name, in the funniest most ironic way possible. Suck it Georgia. What comes around goes around.
  4. You have to watch summer league with a discerning eye for what translates and what doesn’t. IQ translates. Hustle, effort and having a knack for being at the right place at the right time translates. Athleticism only translates if you don’t have it. In other words, there are some great athletes at summer league who can’t play in the league. Shooting doesn’t necessarily translate. The looks you get in summer league are so much better than the real league. That said, Harper, Bryant and I’m pretty sure Jones-Garcia can play in the league. I’m not as sold on Minix but he’s at least worth keeping around on a two way. Filipowski knocking down threes like that… yeah for his size if he’s really that accurate there’s definitely a NBA future for him. There’s no way to judge where he is defensively though against that competition. Nor is there any way to judge how effective he can be down low on offense but a stretch five like that for sure has decent career ahead of him if he can play close to league average defense. Also, that was one of the most fun summer league games I can remember. Entertaining as hell.
  5. Yeah... he needs one. They did it for Jonathon Simmons and Gary Neal after a few summer league breakout games. Unless he's got some character issues, I don't see why they wouldn't add him either on the minimum or as a two way. They have the roster spots. He may have played his way out of a two way, actually.
  6. I'm not as high on him as you are, but I do think he's going to be a special player. I don't see either of those two in him. Lebron was a physical freak of nature since he was like 12 years old. Bird was an offensive machine with impeccable instincts. Flagg is one of those guys where the ball just somehow always magically finds him. I don't know how much of an offensive mismatch he's going to be, but I do know that he is going to impact the game pretty much everywhere. John Havlicek was the best comp I could come up with - a guy who does everything and impacts winning everywhere. Dallas is going to be an interesting rebuild. Before the inexplicable Doncic disaster, I thought Nico Harrison did an unbelievable job remaking that roster. They had a bad cap situation, very little draft capital, and he shrewdly managed to put together a team that made it to the finals. Other than the Grant Williams deal (that he quickly rectified), he made one great move after another. He took a relatively terrible roster that was a poor fit around Luka and completely remade it. I thought he was one of the best GM's in the league until he temporarily went insane.
  7. I kinda liked Wesley but he was going to get buried after they drafted Harper. They needed another big and they needed three point shooting and Olynyk gives them both. They can also move his contract if they want to do something bigger later in the season. Really nice move by the spurs. Three roster spots still open and they have some money to play with. I don’t think they’re done. Adding another solid vet who can shoot wouldn’t hurt my feelings.
  8. And the inability to re-sign Karl Anthony Townes. You forgot that you gave that up in the trade, too, although you did get Randle and Donte DiVincenzo. I still wonder what kind of assets they could have put around KAT and Edwards with more picks and more cap flexibility.
  9. It's a great question. Utah is either dumping salary to facilitate more trades for picks or going after a free agent. Between this, the Sexton trade and the Clarkson buyout, I would have to say it's the former but I'm not sure exactly why. I get that they are clearing the decks for their young players to get more playing time, but they already have so many young players and picks that acquiring more doesn't seem to portend that much more marginal of an improvement. I don't know how much more they can bottom out (worst record in the league last year) or why or what they are going to do with even more picks. What was the whole point in extending Markannan? The Jazz turned Sexton, Clarkson and Collins into Jusuf Nurkic, Kyle Anderson, Kevin Love and a second round pick. Austin Ainge era off to a booming start.
  10. I hope we don’t end up with buyers remorse passing on VJ Edgecombe. I know everyone considers Harper on another tier but VJ is at a different level athletically and is going to be tremendous defensively. He and Maxey are going to be the most dynamic backcourt in the league.
  11. You ever listen to K-Billy's "Super Sounds of the Seventies" weekend? It's my personal favorite.
  12. Anybody want to take a stab at ranking the west right now? Tier 1: OKC, DEN, HOU Tier 2: MIN, LAC Tier 3: DAL (I'd have them tier 2 with a healthy Kyrie), LAL, GSW Tier 4: MEM, SAC, SAS, POR, PHX Tier 5: NOLA, UTAH
  13. He played decently well when Chris Paul was riding him and setting him up in Phoenix. Maybe Luka and LeBron can get him going a bit.
