Breaking -- The human race has waived Josh Smith: 2014-15 regular season thread part 2

this jazz-bucks game is awesome actually

bulls leading the spurs by 6 at the half, dang

game is basically playing out as a possible finals preview

"the rich man's ryan hollins"

when gobert is treading water in a year or two like the rest of your pet project bigs, you're gonna say my bad, right?

lol whatever dude, ryan hollins with the career 10% TRB%

"pet project bigs"

funny how none of the other pet project bigs are on that bref page tho huh

biyombo's really tearing the league up just like you predicted

when did I predict biyombo would tear up the league buddy

also ftr "rich man's" ryan hollins implies he is better than ryan hollins!

you may not have said that but you were doing the same player season finder posting as if it meant anything

I didn't even post on ILH during the 2011 draft

they're not similar in any significant way, hollins isn't a good shotblocker or rebounder and isn't particularly defined by those things.

it was a bizarre and lazy comparison

which is explained by you not watching Gobert play very much, probably

matt i love you but you have a thing for obscurish project bigs just admit it

oh and Biyombo isn't treading water right now so...

lol i'll admit to that but i said it once and haven't exactly doubled down on my comments since then

sure I do, which Biyombo and Gobert aren't at all.

they are extremely noted project bigs

lol

at a certain point you have to just admit Gobert is killing it, you don't have to wait for a Zach Lowe article on everything

shit he might already have written one

gobert does seem like hes gonna be pretty good tbh

only reservation is players that big usually have injury problems

holy crap spurs being roasted on a spit rn

the jazz's green unis mess me up when they play the bucks

would love this bull/spurs game to be a finals preview but tbh as a fairweather bball fan with no real investment in the bulls these days i'd secretly prefer a hawks/warriors one.

oh yeah definitely want to see new teams have a crack at it

yr dream (and much of ILH's I think) is looking more and more plausible by the day

every western conference matchup is gonna m/l the finals this year its p cool reguardless

only reservation is players that big usually have injury problems

I often think about how tragic it is that Shawn Bradley had good health and Muresan and Yao did not

LMA out 6-8 weeks :(

dang

Blazers F LaMarcus Aldridge to undergo surgery. MRI confirms radial collateral ligament tear in left thumb. Expected to miss 6 to 8 weeks.

:( :( :( :(

pau is dominating the boards tonight

too many injuries this year

pretty cool of matt n kev to give us this peak into the world of pro scouts' dickmeasuring contests

sucks about lma but at least Portland has a bit of a win cushion right now

gonna be interesting to watch lillard try to do it by himself, but portland's front line is beyond decimated for the next month

that reminds me i got tix to see blazers vs wiz on saturday, pumped for that

when will the Brandon Jennings thing stop

I keep not drafting Jennings in daily fantasy and it's getting expensive

you should maybe try drafting him?

....

I'm thinking about just having one lineup per night that has him yeah...

I would have lost my shirt on that linsanity stuff

tbf I have no clue how fantasy teams work but for this like fan duel shit you can draft one time only lineups right? I'm guessing you think that he is just in the midst of a glorious fluke

I've only seen a few post josh pistons games but idk he seems real now that he's free to function like an actual point guard
