2019-20 NBA Regular Degular Season thread

he's actually added a bunch of stuff to his game but unfortunately he has never been the type of defender and rim protector that you would want.

giving drummond a bunch of money would make me a bit ill if i was a hawks fan

hes really good at steals. over 1.5/1.5 steals/blocks last year and pushing close to 2/2 this year. just raw stats tho i have no idea what opponents fg% around the rim with him around tho

i'm sure they see him as a good fit as a veteran big who ostensibly plays defense but i don't see the point of giving $20m+ per year or whatever to a ground bound non shooting center in today's NBA. there has to be better use of their money.

his best drpm ranking among centers in the past 4 years is this year in progress, where he is.....15th. a defense with trae in front and drummond in back isn't going to be good enough to do much of anything.

Drummond is the best rebounder in the game. Surely someone has a system that fits that

the 2013 indiana pacers?

i don't think the question with drummond is whether he's a positive or negative on the court.... it's more how much money you want to pay him to be on your team

they also had this stretch before they stupidly traded for blake griffin where they were running the offense through him a bunch and he was pretty adept at playmaking. wonder if he could do more in a bigger offensive role like what they are doing with bam this year in miami. pretty crazy he was able to get his FT% from like 35% to around 60% the last couple years, that should be praised more.

if you could get him for ~25 per year thats a steal but i reckon he'll fetch max money from someone.

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
