2019-20 NBA Regular Degular Season thread

the 2013 indiana pacers?

individual rebounding isn’t a skill you need to pay a fortune for.

although i'm watching celtics-hawks and if i had to watch alex len every game i could probably talk myself into andre drummond

I'm starting to think Horford is still on the Celtics payroll. Sixers' fault for playing him at the 4, but he has shot shit this year.

he is not in a "position to succeed" on that roster

Horford just doesn’t make sense next to Embiid, the logic seemed to be making sure no other team had him

hahaha trae young gets blocked by daniel theis on a game-winning shot

Horf tried to get away from the bad vibes not realizing kemba was the zen master

i feel like ppl really gloss over the fact that their GM is an ex-NBA power forward with minimal front office experience. maybe him fucking up by spending the team's money on a center when he already has the best center in the NBA shouldn't be a huge surprise.

i think there was a theory of it where it could have worked but it sure hasn't worked to this point.

their dreadful bench is a good indicator of GM malpractice tho.

a horford-mccollum trade really makes a lot of sense doesn't it.

feel like the mavs should call philly about horf tbh.

they cant offer anyone as good as CJ tho hmm

all things considered i'd probably roll with maxi kleber

idk, horf is made for playoff basketball

he is good in the offs but he's aging and that contract would probably mess up future cap space for them. also i think what the mavs really need is a someone on the wing with a lot of athleticism....that's where their team is lacking to me.

21 savage, meek mill, young thug and travis scott are all courtside in houston

i know ive said this already but

drummond shd go to some scrappy good defensive team that needs scoring, which is def not the hawks lol

xp mavs team is lacking a lot, luka is carrying that team, tho they have lots of outside shooting. and other than clippers and boston, doesnt every team need athletic wings?

horf back to boston makes so much sense but like *i* said philly wont do it bc pettiness

philly needs to grow the fuck up!

the rockets dispatching philly with minimal difficulty is not great if you are into the sixers

xp i think it's acute with the mavs, they have a lot of interesting parts and skilled guys and carlisle can fit them together, but their cap situation basically gives them one more big move to go with luka and zinger and if i'm them i'm holding out for a guy who is on the wing and is really going to fit with those two.

yeah mavs getting good so fast is putting them in danger of ending up in no mans land

and theyre making their role players work right now but really those guys arent that good

plus there's a decent chance porzingis doesn't play up to his contract which really puts some pressure on the next move.

yeah, they dont have a lot of assets to flip. they already lost the 2019 pick getting luka. theyve got lots of good role player contracts, but that kristaps deal is pretty massive.

xp lol

tim hardaway jr has an $18M player option for next year, have to think he takes it

yeah zinger really needs to pan out

3 way trade, cj to phil, horf to mavs, thj and seth curry to port that kinda works

mavs next have cap space in the 2021 offseason and how that gets used is hugely important to them.

port getting hosed

portland should tank and dump cj's salary

still think a simple horford for cj solves a lot of problems! horford can play next to nurkic and stabilizes the awful blazers forward rotation. cj would be nasty on the sixers and fix some of the probs with their rotation.

idk horf is pretty solidly a center imo, like mb he cld make big time at the 4 work but youre not getting the most out of him

true i'm taking into account the fact that he doesn't seem to want to play his best position for the stretch run of his career. he'd still be better than any forward the blazers have.

yeah that trade wld still be good for both teams

i think there was a theory of it where it could have worked but it sure hasn't worked to this point.

their dreadful bench is a good indicator of GM malpractice tho.

really tho ben simmons being useless in the halfcourt is what undermines everything

plenty of bullshit to go around, also they are awful on the road and v good at home

you know whod be rly good on the sixers? jimmy butler

lagoon otm. they play 3 centers not 2. i think embiid and horford could coexist with a more normal perimeter group but ben simmons is as set in his ways as ever.

feel like brett brown's on his last year

theyve got a ton of talent so they can win on any given night and prob really any given series i mean they came as close as you can to beating the eventual champs last year but they are also just unsound

tho their roster is much worst than last year so not sure if that really applies anymore

xp some of the playoff projections have sixers/bucks as a second-round matchup which would portend major changes for the team on the losing side.

he was weirdly anonymous tho, too many guys needed the ball

if i had to guess brett brown is nothing special but he's literally never had a normal team so it's tough to say.
