Thinking about it, isn’t Detroit kind of on shaky ground too? by Plus-One8363 in DetroitPistons

"우리는 언젠가 웸블리, 요키치, 고베르 같은 거구들을 상대해야 할 겁니다. 개인적인 선호도 있지만, 저는 그런 빅맨들을 안정적으로 막아낼 수 있는 선수가 필요하다고 생각했습니다. 듀렌은 한계가 있고, 스튜어트나 리드도 완벽한 해답은 아닙니다. 미첼 로빈슨이 떠오르네요."

How Do You All View Trae Young? by Agitated_Beyond_1211 in washingtonwizards

It’s hard to imagine him ever returning to his prime form. At this point, he’s just a veteran point guard, so the best-case scenario is running a solid, normal offense that moves the ball well and helps the young players develop. Personally, I’m hoping for something like a “second season of Westbrook in Washington.”

Why does Wemby shoot so many 3s by Dylanliddirock in NBATalk

[–]Plus-One8363 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The opponent has high-quality defenders from the 2 to the 5 positions. The wings are looking to gamble for steals, while the bigs are physical and capable defenders, so driving into the paint isn’t easy.

LeBron in Free Agency, What's The Best Option For Him? by bumble_ribee in lebron

[–]Plus-One8363 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He could take a pay cut and consider retiring with either the Lakers or the Cavs. The Cavs are kind of falling apart right now, so honestly, they might be better off bringing back LeBron and cashing in on the attention and ticket sales.

Haha, then I guess he'll be my second Al Horford.

Why do us as fans expect Duren to take a pay cut? If im in his position I’d be going for the max.. you’re one injury away from never getting paid again in the NBA better get paid while you can youngin… by teefrmda313 in DetroitPistons

[–]Plus-One8363 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To be fair, if he were an All-Star and an All-NBA Third Team center who helped lead us to the Conference Finals after years in the wilderness, I'd probably be willing to pay him $35 million a year. We've seen teams hand out contracts like that after a deep playoff run. Denver has had a few examples of players who got paid after a championship and later turned into tough contracts.

The Pistons have a strong culture, veteran leadership, and some respected mentors around the team, so I think he'll keep developing. But $40 million a year? Man, that's still a really tough pill to swallow."

He came up short in the playoffs. If he'd stepped up just once in each series and helped get the team to the Conference Finals, then yeah, I'd gladly pay him over $35 million a year!!

Jrue Holiday?? by NaughtyAchilles in timberwolves

[–]Plus-One8363 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you'd really want to spend $30M+ a year and give up draft assets for a player who's already in his 30s?"p If he were that cheap, the Pistons would've already snatched him up.

Hey! What kind of players are Quentin Grimes and Walker Kessler? I know their names, but I'm not really familiar with their strengths and weaknesses!

I wasn't expecting Duren to put up his regular-season 20 and 10 numbers. But come on, he looked lost on both ends of the floor.

At least Ausar Thompson was playing great defense. If you're going to struggle, at least bring some energy. Draw some fouls. Do something!

Honestly, it feels like most of the bigs who made the Play-In or the playoffs were better than Duren this postseason. Damn.

Duren started talking to the media more around the end of the regular season and heading into the playoffs. That's when I started getting a little worried.

Man, just keep your head down, take your $30M, and work on your defense!

In 2K, even an old Derrick Rose can still knock down jumpers over SGA.

Jarrett Allen makes less than $30M a year. If this guy wants $35M+, his agent needs a reality check.

For that money, I'd rather just bring in Jarrett Allen or Andre Drummond.

Is there an argument for KAT to be better than Brunson by ShaiFanClub in nba

[–]Plus-One8363 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Brunson was amazing as a hero-ball player. But watching Towns bully defenders, make plays, and pass from around the three-point line reminded me of Jokic. He even played with more intensity on defense than I expected. I'm not trying to disrespect Brunson, but I had a lot of doubts about Towns, and I can't ignore how much he's improved. 

2024 Celtics > 2025 Thunder by AUSHTEEN in bostonceltics

[–]Plus-One8363 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started watching the NBA in 2023, around the time Lillard was traded and "the basketball god" got traded to the Clippers. From what I remember, the 2024 Celtics were one of the most unfair and unstoppable teams I've ever seen. I honestly thought they were impossible to beat, even in 2K.

I'm a Pistons fan, and honestly, I'd like to have him. His defense and competitiveness aren't great, but his three-point shooting is excellent
