love kev but he had no idea who was on the floor for most of the kings/warriors game last night. can't blame him, it has to be so hard to work that way.

Will Barton III on playing the 6th man role:"I have no plans on being the 6th man. I have no desire to be that at all."— Brendan Vogt (@BrendanVogt) December 17, 2020
Porter can’t really play the 3 anyway, there’s an easy decision here

Also you can just start Barton until he gets injured

Report: Jazz offered Rudy Gobert standard max extension, but he wants super-max https://t.co/5av4fPUZqy— Kurt Helin (@basketballtalk) December 17, 2020

The added $$ is to compensate Rudy for having to live in Utah during the season.
― Respectfully Yours, (Aimless), Thursday, 17 December 2020 19:33 (three years ago) link
He’s only eligible for the supermax because he won awards right?
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 17 December 2020 19:48 (three years ago) link
i, too, want the super-max

yeah xp
― lag∞n, Thursday, 17 December 2020 20:05 (three years ago) link
if hes really not gonna take their offer hell prob get traded for not that much, considering prob no one else is that stoked to give him the super max
― lag∞n, Thursday, 17 December 2020 20:07 (three years ago) link
he cld def be a difference maker on a contender

not sure where he makes sense who has the assets etc
― lag∞n, Thursday, 17 December 2020 20:11 (three years ago) link
being a difference maker on a contender and being worth a super-max are two entirely different categories

the wolves have this weird ability to have good players but still end up a bad team, I can’t quite explain it
― k3vin k., Thursday, 17 December 2020 21:33 (three years ago) link
"players" plural?
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 17 December 2020 21:40 (three years ago) link
i guess they have rubio now
maybe kat is just that bad on defense
― Spottie, Thursday, 17 December 2020 21:42 (three years ago) link
Actually the celtics should 100% do it
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 17 December 2020 21:50 (three years ago) link
two things w/ the wolves are 1. it's hard to win a lot when your two best players are awful on defense 2. their coach only has his job bcuz of a weird nepotism legacy thing that is specific to their franchise only

def worth considering, would prob require further moves to make the roster really work, and also whats the plan as far as resigning him
― lag∞n, Thursday, 17 December 2020 21:59 (three years ago) link
tim bontemps has been saying that the nets should trade for gobert since nobody on their team wants to or can play defense but deandre jordan is already entrenched in that big 3 so idk if that would work
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 17 December 2020 21:59 (three years ago) link
those kevin o'connor rankings are odd. i think i actually don't agree w/him very often.
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 17 December 2020 22:00 (three years ago) link
gobert has a clear demonstrated desire to be respected and flattered like a "real" superstar and not just a very good player at a devalued position but i highly doubt any team is going to pay him the kind of money he thinks is befitting of the first title. the issue for any team looking to acquire him is that this realization may not hit until he reaches FA
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 17 December 2020 22:02 (three years ago) link
feel like the grizzlies have to be in the bottom 10 teams still. he's bunching them up in weird ways that make it not function as a ranking
― ciderpress, Thursday, 17 December 2020 22:17 (three years ago) link
I feel like a lot of teams had a much better offseason than the grizz

Also in story: While the Sixers have signaled a willingness to include All-Star guard Ben Simmons in trade packages for Harden, those talks have come nowhere close to a deal, sources said. https://t.co/bbP3k3uNci— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) December 17, 2020
― lag∞n, Friday, 18 December 2020 00:04 (three years ago) link
that would be stupid as hell so i hope the sixers do it
― J0rdan S., Friday, 18 December 2020 00:07 (three years ago) link
one thing that hasn't been clear to me on harden to the sixers is whether embiid isn't in the deal because ppl perceive him to be more valuable than simmons or less valuable. bcuz if i'm the rockets i'm def asking for simmons but if i'm the sixers i'm trying to get off embiid, if i had to choose
― J0rdan S., Friday, 18 December 2020 00:08 (three years ago) link
wld be curious to hear what packages including simmons were uncool to the rockets
― lag∞n, Friday, 18 December 2020 00:09 (three years ago) link
do they think theyre going to get a better player than simmons
yeah i would rather dump embiid than simmons 100%
― micah, Friday, 18 December 2020 00:20 (three years ago) link
pretty sure i have a weird personal thing where I think gobert's salary ask should be heavily discounted bc of the time he touched a bunch of reporter's microphones "as a joke" while he had covid
― Clay, Friday, 18 December 2020 00:36 (three years ago) link
i think embiid it too embedded in the organization. like he's tight with one of the big minority owners. i don't think they feel like they can trade him even though it would 100% be the right basketball move.
― call all destroyer, Friday, 18 December 2020 00:43 (three years ago) link
I think simmons is the more important player too but I would include him in a deal for harden if that was the line -- they need someone to take high volume 3s and that's never going to happen with both simmons and harden on the team. also simmons and harden is an awkward fit imo because you're not thrilled with either of them off the ball
