NBA 2018-2019

[Melancer46]

Rozier has outstanding upside imo but wow the knicks are being the knicks here.


Also cant believe we’re landing kemba, that was a dream scenario for me

How many years are we supposed to wait for Rozier to tap into some of that upside? 4 years in and he’s never shot 40% from the field. He’s just a bad basketball player.

Oh come on, i acknowledge he’s been inefficient and had a poor 2019 but anyone who watched the last half of 2017/2018’s season knows hes got potential. He’s young and has been stuck behind a malcontent. Same thing happened to dion and he turned into a borderline go-to player for the heat before the big injury

Dion is also a bad basketball player.

Fact & Fact. Either would be in the bottom 25% of starters at their position and probably not at the top of that group either.

Who almost got his team to the playoffs before injury. Whatever puts W’s in the win column, knicks can’t do worse than they already have.

Hey rozier won games during a stretch where Heyward, Kyrie and Brown were either out for the season or out for weeks. Terry deserves as much credit as Al and Tatum for that decent close to the season

Miami was better when he was on the bench than when he was on the court each of the past two years.

Yeah but where did he go to college? So there is that

 

[kirbivore]

now go get Leonard!

Kawhi is taking meetings with both LA teams and then Toronto gets the final meeting in LA.

No California kid grows up dreaming of playing for the Clippers! Cmon Kawhi! You did your business in Toronto. Now come home and help bring back the greatest franchise in professional sports!

Final table?

Thought this was an interesting take on playing in Canada by Lou Williams.

Lou Williams says playing for Raptors made him feel like he was overseas

The Clippers are one of the top contenders to land Leonard this summer, and no holds are barred in NBA free agency these days.

It’s interesting but worth noting it’s coming from a Clippers player. Obviously has a lot to gain from planting this seed in Kawhi’s head.

:
- He plays for the Clippers
- He was essentially released by the Raptors (they made no attempt to try to re-sign him) which angered him
- The things that Ballmer and Clippers have done are cringy.

We basically don't get ESPN == that is it. We get every other major channel an American).And if you really want ESPN there are ways to get, and a Raptors team representative will certainly be able to find you what you need.

In terms of a Canadian Bank Account. A Raptors Rep can set it all up, schedule a meeting, and you can be out in 3 minutes.

And a Phone Bill? Once again a Raptors Rep will get you set up. I pay $15 a month, for unlimited US Calling plus $.01 a minute. For his US calls to cost an extra $100 a month, he would need to spend 5 hours a day, every day on the phone.

Sometimes, I think you like the Raptors better than the Orange!

 

[jncuse]

Since 1995, but I have been a bigger Orange fan overall. They trend back and forth. The Raptors certainly got more of my attention back after acquiring Kawhi Leonard. I was so tired of the 50+ win, playoff fail era of Derozan/Lowry.

This would be terrible for everyone other than Laker's fans. How is this interesting? You just created another superteam that you can just hand the title to now.

I’m...a Lakers fan?

Kawhi is the only way they win a title imo. Any other of those signings they phluk it up.

Agreed. That’s why I’m all in on Kawhi.

Otherwise, I want the best role players we can get.

I don’t really get the appeal of the Clippers. If Basketball wise, top priority is you want your own team Clippers are just a worse version of what Toronto has already built and proven they can accomplish. And the situation with Blake should probably be mentioned.

Then if top priority is to move back home to LA why would the Clippers be more appealing? Lakers are the main event in town, his whole family are die hard Lakers fans and you can pretty much lock in you’ll be on a contender the rest of your career with AD.

There’s also the growing conspiracy theory on NBA Reddit that Balmer has dropped some bags to Woj and other NBA media members for favorable coverage to build hype around the Clippers...

They've got a coach that players like / relate to who has won a championship, they have a deep pockets owner, and it's still in LA.

Perception of the team has changed -- players view it as a place they can win, not purgatory anymore. And frankly, they've been better than the Lakers for several years.

Ballmer has changed the view of that franchise.

 

[OrangeDW]

Ballmer has changed the view of that franchise.

He has but there’s still no cache or history there. Same with the Nets. Same with the Anaheim Angels even back when they were the better team for awhile.
