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

Idk Artis Gilmore had to wait 25 years, hall of fame pretty bogus

He was never near to pippen tho

penny six seasons in orlando, per game - 18.4 pts, 6.1 assists, 4.6 rebounds, 2.9 turnovers
pip twelve seasons in chicago, per game - 17.7 pts, 5.3 assists, 6.7 rebounds, 2.8 turnovers

35 minutes per game for pip, 37 for penny

reaching

i will cop to some homer tennessee bias

i meant matt was reaching in his penny disses, like any person who first watched hoops as a kid in the 90s i love penny hardaway

well then, carry on

Do knee problems count as leg injuries? bc if so you'd have to cout like 3/4 of the guys who ever had injury problems. If not throw Sabas off of matt's list.

Pippen is probably the greatest perimeter defender ever.

i wouldn't argue that too vigorously and why i said "near to pippen" and not "as good as". both of them had dominant, once in a generation players beside them of course.

5. Clark Kellogg maybe!

until a couple weeks ago i wasn't even sure that clark kellogg played in the nba! averaged 20 & 10 as a rookie but cooked at age 24.

i bet penny would've been better in modern pick and roll heavy nba

hearing some #insideinfo that kd might not actually play again for 9-12 months

We should probably run it by Snrub to verify.

Mayyybe but also more emphasis on outside shooting now

Yeah what a shame

It was a Brandon Roy situation where they knew the knees would give out pretty soon when they picked him

no one ever thinks abt the effect on lil pennys career

it would be hard to operate on such tiny knees

big penny averaging 22-4-7 on 50% fg his third season in the league is p darn good its kinda hard to say why his ceiling was tho matts prob right imo that he was closer to roy than pip

such a weird bad era for the nba prob better just to forget all abt it

how bout Mcdyess?

probs about time someone throws shade at brooks minutes management

jeff green asserting

Does Enes Kanter miss anything about Utah? Cue a long, awkward pause.

"Mountains," he finally said. "That's it, I guess."

More Brook on dust-up w Hugo the Hornet:"I’d been getting along with him so well, too...but he brought out the Robin Lopez in me, for sure."

Uh oh klay is heating up 13 pt third quarter

He and bogut just trailed in transition and bogut was furiously pointing behind him to direct a pass from the corner to klay

Swished the three obv

Seriously the blazers organization needs to fire mike rice, this is embarrassing

"Lauvergne spent a lot of time before the game with Nicolas Batum, talking about Europe I'm sure"

might want to check out this ncaa game fyi

this remains absurd

the blazers will sadly never fire mike rice, he is widely beloved in portland and i do not know why at all.

its a good conf xp

"He got his stats and he got the L as always" -- Trevor Booker on Enes Kanter

zing

wow

I mean he has a point kanter is kinda bad in various ways

he can score effectively in the low post and get defensive rebounds and that's about it, if ibaka isn't on the floor when they're on the defensive end he kinda useleas

*useless, ffs

& yeah those things are good but he's being notably overrated by a lot of people most notably himself & his agent & people with big men fetishes

"Also spoke to Gordon Hayward on Enes Kanter. He was very upset"

Who is this man, this enes

what did enes do to them

he was asking for a trade iirc, probably rubbed the locker room the wrong way

seems like a lil more than that
