4/48 sounds fine to me. Nurkic is young. he shows flashes of excellence, but he's unreliable. compared to the Meyers Leonard contract, this is sober good sense.

esp considering he’ll be only 27 in that fourth year

I’m seeing 4/53 but it’s negligible
yeah

nurk prob not a guy who will be able to play much in the playoffs as the league is currently constructed unless a match up really falls portland’s way but he’s a really good regular season player

its weird how smallball just trumps trad centers theres got to be a counter there somewhere idk

dunk shld be worth 2.3-2.7 points

the counter in theory should be posting up idk how it works in practice though. you can't score 3 points in the post in the offs because the refs don't call fouls
― ciderpress, Saturday, 7 July 2018 16:05 (five years ago) link
rebounding too shd work but the problem is if u crash the glass that just increases the smallball fastbreak advantage, i think the whole thing basically comes down to that its so much easier to score in transition than the halfcourt these days
― sprout god (lag∞n), Saturday, 7 July 2018 16:11 (five years ago) link
also feel like scoring in the post takes lots of skill, prob just easier to try and teach players jump shots
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 7 July 2018 16:34 (five years ago) link
tim kawakami on zach lowe pod was talking about how the warriors really want post scoring and are using boogie as a sort of test run/proof of concept for future bigs they may want to sign (brow) but aside from someone like brow it just seems like post scoring in the offs is gonna be such a specialized skill, something that is done in 2 min spurts if a match up falls a certain way this is my prob with a team built around joel embiid that nobody really talks about
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 7 July 2018 16:36 (five years ago) link
If the NBA used FIBA goaltending rules it'd change things for the better. Ball is live when it hits the rim and either team can go get it without worrying about "in the cylinder" bullshit. Make your bigs matter.

I personally like drive and kick basketball a lot more than post up basketball and don't really care if big men are important or not

i hope hes good enough to be a true nba heel, two incidents in two games, off to a sterling start

the booker max is a straight 5 year. no player option in year 5

Source close to Chris Paul tells me that CP3 is advocating for the #Rockets to acquire his good friend, Carmelo Anthony. Melo, 34, made a career-high 169 3-pointers last season on a career-high 474 attempts (35.7 percent). https://t.co/C8LT4rSpFF— Jordan Schultz (@Schultz_Report) July 8, 2018

― call all destroyer, Sunday, 8 July 2018 23:46 (five years ago) link
Lopez and Ersan are nice adds. Think buds gonna have that offense humming so much better than what we’ve seen from that squad
― Hall of Fam (Spottie), Sunday, 8 July 2018 23:47 (five years ago) link
tbh i’d still roll the dice on melo at a few million. it doesn’t make sense to me that he can’t just make open 3 pointers.
― J0rdan S., Monday, 9 July 2018 01:02 (five years ago) link
melo's major problem on the floor seems to be that his decision making is wildly off, like he just doesn't seem to know how to adapt to the game anymore
― Clay, Monday, 9 July 2018 01:21 (five years ago) link
Also, I don't understand cap rules but what's their situation with Capella and LMAM if they go for Melo?
― Fetchboy, Monday, 9 July 2018 01:24 (five years ago) link
they have bird rights on capela, i think they can only use the midlevel or something like that on luc, which would leave the minimum or biannual (if they even have that) left for melo.

Spurs not matching the Anderson offer sheet. Looks like rebuilding in earnest might be happening

my bf kyle :( i think he'll fit in well with memphis
i still don't know what to make of the spurs next year until kawhi gets traded. i presume a starting sf will come back in a trade (ingram or covington probably) and therefore the spurs didn't want to put long-term money on someone who'd presumably be a backup.
i hope the spurs keep my sometimes-dinner companion davis bertans on the team. seems like the market is p dry so they should get him $2-3M.

Yeah, until the Kawhi situation settles it’s hard to read these moves.The whole thing bums me out
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 9 July 2018 02:42 (five years ago) link
i have no idea whether i should be cautiously optimistic or dismayed.
― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Monday, 9 July 2018 02:54 (five years ago) link
The track record of that front office makes me optimistic in the long run but I can’t see how the team can compete in the short run. I wanted Pops to have another shot at a title.
