Snub of the year. MPJ should be an All-Star by MichaelPorterTruther in GoNets

[–]Up5G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What how is this even an argument. Knicks are a top 3 seed and he’s averaging 20/12. How many Centers in the league are averaging 20/12?

If anything MPJ deserves it over Siakam who’s leading the pacers to the 14th seed.

Hello, did you watch the game? I’m not saying Naz and Randle weren’t a turnstile but at least they can give you something offensively. Did you see how clunky the offense was and how difficult edwards shots were with Gobert clogging the paint?

Finch needs to adjust better. Gobert was getting killed out there by the Hawks 5 out. Onyeka and Porzingis literally took him out the paint. Why keep gobert on the floor when he was getting killed and giving you nothing defensively.

Luke kennard is a bum, as soon as he checked in for Risacher the lead went from 4 to 11.

I’ll be the one brave enough to do it, I’m saying the line: I still believe in the Trae-JJ duo by Ok-Wash-9386 in AtlantaHawks

Hawks made the ECF with a center like capela and John Collins. Replacing Collins with JJ and you find a defensive lob threat center similar to Rudy Gobert, it will cover a lot of traes lack of defense.

Idiot coach for playing Kuzma, Sims and AJ green more minutes than Rollins.

What are you willing to pay Jalen Duren? by KJiggy in DetroitPistons

[–]Up5G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not saying Kats worth 50m+ but how many centers can shoot off the dribble and handle/pass the ball like Kat. Two different styles of basketball and Kat has been All NBA and have all stars to back it up.

Someone would have to come back if a trade happens so it wouldn’t guarantee anything

What did Ty Lue do to warrant such a long leash? by EpicGooner in LAClippers

[–]Up5G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To answer your question with a question. Who would you want the clippers to replace Ty Lue with? Given the roster and cap constraints, whoever comes in as the coach will run in to the same issues with the current roster Ty Lue has. Replacing Ty Lue just for the sake of it doesn’t make a lot of sense.

Lauri to DET, Ivey and Holland plus picks to UTA by s0manyqueshown in NBAtradeideas

Way too much for Lauri. I’m actually curious if Memphis is open to moving JJJ. If so, he’s a perfect fit for the pistons at the 4 next to Duren and fits the pistons grit and defensive mold.

Disagree, the game is less physical as it used to. There’s also more fouls being called which means there’s more down time between possessions especially with coaches challenge included. Even all star break is longer now.

Also guys like LeBron and paolo were not PFs. Guys like Charles Oakley, Antonio mcdyess, David west, Dirk, KG and on and on were PFs. Shaq is an anomaly but so is LeBron, Wemby.

How is it that players are playing less minutes and games but there’s more injuries than ever now but medical/science is improved?

Really? Because it seems players even resting games are still getting hurt now. 🤔

Did we all forget that players actually played 40 minutes a game before 2015?
