capela has sucked this year tho guess he has really been healthy got the sore foot
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 15:31 (four years ago) link
one of the ways i can talk myself into this for the rockets is if he really just isn't going to be healthy this year. doesn't matter at all to atlanta.

curious about the cause and effect here:
Clint Capela didn't have the same value to the Rockets anymore since they don't set as many on-ball screens.The Rockets ranked 7th in plays finished using pick-and-roll in 2016-17, per @SynergySST. It's been a steady decline since then:2017-18: 9th2018-19: 23rd2019-20: 30th— Kevin O'Connor (@KevinOConnorNBA) February 5, 2020
capela ruled in NBA2K19 so I like this trade for the hawks

capela is good excellent fit for atl too
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 15:57 (four years ago) link
I like the theory that denver did this just because they’re sick of matching up with Capela
― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 16:05 (four years ago) link
Because if something doesn't happen, they basically traded RoCo on a good contract for a protected first round pick

not really sure I get this deal for denver other than getting capela out of the conference
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 5 February 2020 17:55 (four years ago) link
i guess it's just clear they did not intend to keep those guys and consolidated them to get a decent first rather than bad firsts or seconds.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 17:56 (four years ago) link
seems like they basically replaced the draft capital they lost in the grant trade for 2 guys they weren't going to keep
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 5 February 2020 17:57 (four years ago) link
yah get something for their 10th/11th guys they didnt really want to keep anyway. i like it. and now they have another asset to add to the pile for Jrue or whatever.

make it bigger
Why 4-team trade may get bigger: Not enough time to complete a follow-up trade since physicals etc. won't be completed til after deadline. So have to stuff any business with newly acquired players/picks/exceptions into this deal.— John Hollinger (@johnhollinger) February 5, 2020

short shorts are def on their way back saw a video of rob williams at practice in what mustve been running shorts the other day
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 18:22 (four years ago) link
players love the short shorts. i go to a lot of high school games and all the kids roll their shorts up at the waste and also tuck them in. a quick google search turned this uphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mo2UAxHbnXc

yah. ive got one cousin whos a senior at M1llenium they made it to the state championship game last year and lost in the final game. Whole team is back tho so they should win. DaR0n H0lmes is their best player hes a junior and should be able to pick any d1 school he wants. they played sierra canyon (bron and wades kids school) a couple months back i got to see that. they were in it until the end.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rP_p8H9l1Y my cuz is #3 cutter good hustler and on ball defender. no offers but i think he could walk on at a low end d1 school or mid major
my other cousin played at the same school graduated two years back and now plays for Nevada (#42). His little bro plays for Hillcrest prep so i see some of their games, he's not playing tho still too young and developing but he'll be at least 6'9"

HS ball is still so bad. Even the good teams are hard to watch for much of the game. Went to a game last week that they won by 70 points.
Not having a shot clock is a complete joke. So many kids lacking basic fundamentals. Lotta meatheads that are better at football but play hoops to stay in shape, athletic but absolutely no finesse. lotta hoisting.
― Thybulle on the Dash (Spottie), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:31 (four years ago) link
ugh the hoistingI was pretty impressed by games I saw in IL, but that was some top tier talent. Specifically sought out the best players/teams. Saw Jabari as a sophmore lose to F Kaminsky in a tourney at UIC pavilion.

Nice. The AAU games are better than the high school games. Ive gone to a few of those but theres rarely a place to sit and the atmosphere is weird energy.

I guess there just aren't 50,000 talented hoops coaches to spread around and the best ones get snatched up to the college level.

The Jabari (Simeon) vs Kaminsky (Benet Xian Academy) was proof of the value of being well-coached. Simeon wayyyy more talented but Benet wayyyy better coached. Benet just fundamentaled them to death.
