Trading Stein, Strauss, Thorpe and Haberstroh for Barstool is like trading Steph, KD, Klay and Dray for Derrick Rose https://t.co/8hDpdAzrdk— jg 🍤 (@jacobjbg) October 13, 2017

Ingram looks good in a lot of ways but everything involving shooting looks broken
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 14 October 2017 02:47 (six years ago) link
i thought he was supposed to be an ok shooter coming out? do you think he's devolved or was it just never there?

It must have been a mirage in college. He’s retooled his shooting form and it looks super awkward.

Frank Mason has been really impressive. Didn’t think much of him in college at all

In general this looks to be an amazingly deep rookie class. Seems like 20 teams have a rookie who has looked great

these one team one stat pieces have some good factoids http://www.nba.com/article/2017/10/04/one-team-one-stat-boston-celtics/?collection=writer/archive/john-schuhmann#/
Over the last five seasons, Al Horford ranks fourth in field goal percentage in the restricted area (minimum 1,000 attempts) at 72.5 percent and 11th in mid-range field goal percentage (minimum 1,000 attempts) at 45.6 percent. Other players in the top 15 in both: Kevin Durant (first and eighth), Serge Ibaka (ninth and seventh) and Kawhi Leonard (13th and 13th). Horford was the only player to shoot better than 50 percent on at least 50 3-point attempts in the '17 playoffs.

love has said hes the starting center so i assume its gonna be
lovebroncrowderwaderose
tho that is brutal defensively, especially considering bron is now an official regular season non defender
thompsonlovebronwaderose
might make more sense
― lag∞n, Monday, 16 October 2017 17:26 (six years ago) link
then crowder can still get a bunch of minutes when either bron or love are on the bench

wade is still ok defensively i think but he's def on the lebron never trying until the playoffs program

precisely.
xp wade looked like possibly the worst defensive player in the league last playoffs but then again he probably was just coasting collecting his check not givng af.

LaMarcus Aldridge and the San Antonio Spurs are engaged in talks on a contract extension, league sources tell ESPN.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) October 16, 2017
― Spottie, Monday, 16 October 2017 19:02 (six years ago) link
why would the spurs do this
get him on a cheaper per year deal thats more in line w his value, makes him tradable?
― lag∞n, Monday, 16 October 2017 19:04 (six years ago) link
he has a player option for $22m next year, maybe he declines it and leaves and the spurs get nothing in return, or maybe he takes it and leaves the year after/has very little trade value cause hes on the last year of his deal, if they cld get him for $15 a year/4 years thats maybe the best proposition for them, tho i have no idea if he has any interest for signing for that kind of money
― lag∞n, Monday, 16 October 2017 19:08 (six years ago) link
maybe theyre just talking and nothing will come of it

that's like what JR Smith makes. I doubt he'd dip that low
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Monday, 16 October 2017 20:02 (six years ago) link
that's dieng low
ya prob not especially considering he said he was unhappy in san ant
― lag∞n, Monday, 16 October 2017 20:10 (six years ago) link
unhappy because he has too much money, though?
― you are juror number 144 and we will excuse you (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 16 October 2017 20:11 (six years ago) link
maybe he ran out of storage space for all his money
― lag∞n, Monday, 16 October 2017 20:13 (six years ago) link
maybe he feels bad cos he's bad at basketball and wants to do the right thing by taking what he's actually worth
