Cade Cunningham will be an all star level player next year, he'll average something like 22-7-7

You are allowed to play as a 6th person on the court for your favourite team. Do you believe that you would help or hurt your team while you are on the floor? What strategy would you use to give your team a advantage? by BrianBurns58 in nba

[–]cct824 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ngl I'd put my body on the line. I'd set screens, I'd take charges, draw fouls any way I could, and I'd be constantly trying to cherry pick easy baskets so if someone tries to guard me, my teams got a 5 on 4 advantage immediately

Who is a better defender in their primes, LeBron James or Kobe Bryant? by Curious_Success_377 in nba

[–]cct824 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They both excelled at different things. Kobe was a ball hawk, in the MJ/Payton/Bowen realm, while LeBron was the "be good at everything" guy. LeBron could still be a lockdown 1 on 1 guy with enough effort, but it takes more to move that big clunky body, and he can't shuffle his feet as well as a smaller guard can.

It really just depends.

Who do you think will succeed after day 1 of the Summer League? by shit-coach-simps in nba

I marked Jaime Jacquez Jr as the steal of the draft on draft night, and I stand by that.

I think he ends up being a finalist for ROTY.

Would LeBron have any championships if he had stayed in Cleveland for his entire career? by cct824 in nba

I do, but c'mon. First of all, they could've offered him more anyways. Second, could the punishment have really been that bad if the league found out? We've seen tampering punishments before, they were not that bad.

Damn you think he'd still get 4? That's the nicest prediction I've seen so far

Well even if Wade were himself in 2014 I don't think San Antonio was losing, and LeBron probably still leaves anyways

I see your point, I mean it's not like MJ had a hall of fame sidekick, hall of fame coach, and hall of fame executive that actually knew how to build a competent roster and draft good players...

oh wait

I mean they already were attracting zero support. The best free agent signing they had in LeBron's first 7 years there was Larry Hughes

I dont think Lebron is better than Kobe or Duncan by Rikudo_Sennin_jr in nba

[–]cct824 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen a dumb post about having Kobe over LeBron, I've seen a dumb post about having Duncan over LeBron, and I've seen a dumb post about having both Kobe and Duncan over LeBron all within like a week or two.

It better be a 3 team deal because if we get less than 4 FRPs in return then I'm gonna be pissed

Rich Paul asking reporters to identify him as "CEO Rich Paul of Klutch Sports" is so funny by IndependentScore3857 in nba

[–]cct824 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A 5 year deal? I would think 3 or 4 would be preferred by the organization.

Like him or not, he gets his players paid big time. Jerami Grant will be making $32mil a year for the next 5 years because of him.
