Yeah Danuel House and Trez would be pretty good on the warriors rn
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 25 October 2019 05:36 (four years ago) link
They wouldn’t have had to play Durant 40 mpg over 90 games
That nonsense in the playoffs when they basically never sat Durant led to his injury, it seems pretty obvious
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 25 October 2019 05:38 (four years ago) link
yeah i don't think danuel house is changing the course of history at any point including the present
― J0rdan S., Friday, 25 October 2019 05:39 (four years ago) link
But Ingles would have.

When the heat had the triplets + bird man they had a good excuse because Riley literally had an empty roster when they signed them. Myers had 7 years to find one guy.
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 25 October 2019 05:41 (four years ago) link
But they had no good players, klay and Durant played 40mpg in the playoffs and that was all she wrote
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 25 October 2019 05:42 (four years ago) link
i don't think it's that simple. and the way the west shifted this season means that no draft pick or UDFA could bridge the gap between them and the LA teams
― J0rdan S., Friday, 25 October 2019 05:46 (four years ago) link
We all knew Durant was playing too minutes, Kerr kept shrugging off questions about it but we all knew. And then he got hurt.
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 25 October 2019 05:49 (four years ago) link
One good player would have taken so much pressure off and they win the title most likely.
sure but the calculus that led to that wouldn't change simply due to the presence of one more slightly above average wing player
― J0rdan S., Friday, 25 October 2019 05:51 (four years ago) link
riley really redeemed himself by drafting winslow, richardson, bam, and herro w/ 4 straight picks
Joe Ingles is far far better than any player they had outside of the big 4. It would have made a huge difference.
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 25 October 2019 05:52 (four years ago) link
Plays Durant’s positions too. It would have been great. James Johnson would have been pretty good too.

I’m not gonna crown Winslow after one game btw
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 25 October 2019 05:54 (four years ago) link
ok but joe ingles was so good that he signed a 4/52 contract two years ago so idk how he would've been able to stay on the warriors
― J0rdan S., Friday, 25 October 2019 05:55 (four years ago) link
What are they not paying the luxury tax?
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 25 October 2019 05:59 (four years ago) link
winslow was fully good last year once he started playing point regularly. and he's been 37%+ from three for 2 years. he's not some prodigy or something but the stanley johnson debate is over and he might be better than myles turner at this point. devin booker def still better but winslow has established himself in that draft class.
i think him and butler are gonna be a really good tandem, watch how many times winslow assists him in this

Winslow is a good player and stats probably don’t convey how good he is but I still think they got a role player in the lotto there
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 25 October 2019 06:04 (four years ago) link
Stan Johnson is a pretty amazing bust. The number 3 recruit in high school
def but he could be a really good role player. it wasn't the heist people were saying at the time, but when the year's lottery produces 7 good players and you get one of them i think that's a success unless there's some egregious misstep. maybe you could say passing on booker was one, we know they love kentucky players.
they also have winslow on a good contract fwiw
― J0rdan S., Friday, 25 October 2019 06:07 (four years ago) link
xp
stanley johnson will not be a really good role player
Looney was a pretty ok pick!That was a really weird game to watch I had no idea who was who for the game. Gonna be a long season and Kerr is going to have to actually coach. Curry/dray and Dlo/dray pick n rolls all day leave the motion out. Gonna need trill to get back healthy quick like.

Mike D’Antoni on the Rockets’ pace with Russell Westbrook: “Six seconds or less, baby. We’re working on it.” Houston had 27 fast break points in the opener, matching their most in any game last season.— Tim MacMahon (@espn_macmahon) October 25, 2019
clips look pretty good so far huh w/o pg and w kahwi adjusting to new team
― lag∞n, Friday, 25 October 2019 17:54 (four years ago) link
it does seem like the biggest single thing westbrook could do for the rox was get them to play a little faster. the clips do look good though i do think their starting lineup is odd since so much of the offense is going to be initiated by forwards. may just take some getting used to how it looks.

Imagine if the Warriors had a good GM like the Spurs and had taken Jaron Blossomgame, Nikola Milutinov, and Cady Lalanne instead of the chumps we got
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Friday, 25 October 2019 18:24 (four years ago) link
I thought the rooks looked p good last night. good stuff from Paschal specifically. jordan poole is NOT shy, hopefully he can actually make shots. I thought steph, dlo and dray looked out of sorts more than anything.

ya imo u cant really fault the dubs gming record, late picks dont usually work out and they made some good decisions that werent the consensus at the time eg getting iggy, not trading klay for love, theyre kinda fd now but that was p much inevitable and theyve had a bunch of injuries, even getting dlo back for kd was good
― lag∞n, Friday, 25 October 2019 18:30 (four years ago) link
lonnie walker might be good fwiw
― lag∞n, Friday, 25 October 2019 18:31 (four years ago) link
need to see how he looks w/o rookie hair
lonnie is gonna be v good, him and dejounte are going to be one of the best two-way backcourts for a while imo

also tall luka is a potentially special player, but will need probably two years to know for sure
yeah i wldnt go that far
― lag∞n, Friday, 25 October 2019 18:33 (four years ago) link
it depends on if you're going to ban me again.
I think I'll take Klay and Curry over Murray and Walker but I guess we'll see
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Friday, 25 October 2019 18:34 (four years ago) link
i would, too! but the spurs have drafted better in the late 1st rd than probably any team ever
wait i banned you???
