dubs basically HAVE to roll the dice on anyone cheap with upside at this point.

let's check in on the knicks:
There has been some ‘early grumbling’ among some Knicks players about their role with the team, per @IanBegley— NBA Central (@TheNBACentral) October 18, 2019

watching knicks-pels and tnt has decided that we need a shot clock superimposed on the floor just behind the foul line at all times, even when it's frozen at 24 b/c a guy is shooting free throws

no trade turner to the celtics
Pacers reportedly testing trade market for Domantas Sabonis https://t.co/qWtDNAWfry— Kurt Helin (@basketballtalk) October 19, 2019
― lag∞n, Saturday, 19 October 2019 01:20 (four years ago) link
so now everyone knows they don't want to play him at the 4 and that he wants a big contract, yes very opportune time to explore the trade market

i think the issue is more $$ than fit
― micah, Saturday, 19 October 2019 01:43 (four years ago) link
they shd just pay him (and trade turner to the celtics)

this is probably true but a lot of the preseason stuff i read suggested they wanted to see how it looked with turner and sabonis. money does top everything but seems like they no longer care how it looks.
― call all destroyer, Saturday, 19 October 2019 01:55 (four years ago) link
goon you need to stop talking about the celtics trading for turner, i keep thinking about it and it's just so good and then i get sad b/c it won't happen
― call all destroyer, Saturday, 19 October 2019 01:56 (four years ago) link
sabonis worth is hard to establish. hes a both a 4/5 tweener and a starter/bench tweener.
his best fit is as a sixth man which caps playoff value

― lag∞n, Saturday, 19 October 2019 02:02 (four years ago) link
xp yeah. it seems like there's a contingent that really likes him because his value is always discussed as if it's higher than that.
― call all destroyer, Saturday, 19 October 2019 02:04 (four years ago) link
turners a great role player and defender, and you could picture him playing 38mpg on a team that goes to the finals. even though sabonis has a much broader skill set its really hard to see him playing that many minutes for a truly top level team
― micah, Saturday, 19 October 2019 02:11 (four years ago) link
i'm gonna enjoy watching Hunter this year. he plays some godly defense.
― Heez, Saturday, 19 October 2019 02:13 (four years ago) link
trae looks a lot more locked in on D too. he's moving his feet and keeping his man in front of him which is a vast improvement on last year's D.
― Heez, Saturday, 19 October 2019 02:17 (four years ago) link
If trae is still locked in by January this will be much realer news.

Seriously considering putting my life savings on the under for Charlotte’s win total. It’s 23.5 and I can’t fathom how this team could win 20 unless there’s a league wide MRSA outbreak.

I don’t understand why Sabonis and Turner wouldn’t be a good fit
― Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 20 October 2019 00:12 (four years ago) link
Seems like people think Sabonis is a pure center but he’s got the wingspan of a shooting guard and doesn’t really offer anything defensively. To me that’s a power forward!
― Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 20 October 2019 00:13 (four years ago) link
oh they definitely can play together, especially against bigger lineups.
― micah, Sunday, 20 October 2019 00:17 (four years ago) link
steph gonna do some things for sure but defenses are gonna be locked in on him, dlo gonna have to be consistent

Curry should take 12 3s per game. Let’s see what happens

otm why stop there even
― lag∞n, Sunday, 20 October 2019 23:39 (four years ago) link
he may have to take 15 for this team to stay afloat

If you shoot 37% on 35 foot pullups and no one guards that and your team is bad...
