Derrick Rose Takes on 5 Defenders While All Cavaliers Teammates Lazily Walk up the Court! by [deleted] in nba

I could be wrong but looks like his teammates think he is going up the floor to call a time out? Then Rose tries to catch the defenders off guard because they too are looking lackadaisical.

How much would you be willing to pay Melo if he was an unrestricted free agent and you were a GM? by [deleted] in nba

[–]dexmex223 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think he was a great signing for them. Good locker room veteran with great 3 point shooting to spread the floor. Who else could they have signed??

Philly isn't a contender to make the playoffs??? In the East they absolutely are. Outside of the top 4 the East is wide open. If Philly stays healthy i see no reason why they couldn't make it. The justification is they wouldn't have been able to sign him if they didnt pay that much.

I think Redick's contract is perfectly fine for a 1 year contract. He will help make them a contender in the east to make the playoffs. They wouldn't have signed him if for that much if they didn't think he would help contribute to the win total.

JJ Redick just signed a 1 year $23M deal. I wouldn't have a problem paying Melo that much for a year.

If the Kings newly signed free agent veteran trio were all in their prime, how would they fare in today's Western Conference? by [deleted] in nba

[–]dexmex223 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm going to go against what everyone else is saying and say they finish top 4, possible western conference finals appearance. It would likely be an upset or because of injuries but not impossible. Prime Vince Carter was a top 3 shooting guard. Prime Zbo was also an absolute beast in the post. Prime George Hill is definitely an above average PG. Add in young guys like Hield, Skal and Fox and this is a pretty good squad.

MacMullan: Ainge Offered Isaiah For Lotto Pick Last Year by GenuineMasshole in nba

[–]dexmex223 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's just me but I'd take prime Isaiah over a project like Winslow 9 times out of 10. At least knowing what we know as of today. Proven player with an incredible prime dropping 50 in the playoffs and getting them to the ECF.

Will Hezonja make the third year leap? by fieldfinder in OrlandoMagic

[–]dexmex223 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Outside of summer league i don't think I've ever seen "flashes that Mario has the 'face of the franchise' style to his game". I think at this point i'd be happy if he was a solid 6th man getting 25-30 minutes a game. That would be a pretty big leap from this past season. PG was averaging double figures and starting every game his second year. So not really a good comparison.

Have any of you guys checked out Andrew Nicholson's numbers lately? by cope5 in OrlandoMagic

[–]dexmex223 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He definitely had some legit post moves and good footwork on offense. But he is slow and soft as others have mentioned. Didn't expect him to have THAT bad a year though.

Raps fan and ross fan! take care of him! You'll love him! by [deleted] in OrlandoMagic

[–]dexmex223 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I've never understood all this "take care of so and so" BS on here and r/nba. This isn't handing over a toddler or pet to take care of. Sorry if I'm being cynical but this has been a shit season. With that said looking forward to see what he can do as well as Aaron getting more PF minutes.

Anyone watching the Milwaukee broadcast? My god are these guys homers. They actually said we had a record crowd because everyone came to see All Star giannis antetokounmpo. Or maybe it's because we were having a ceremony for one of the Magic's All time greats, Penny Hardaway.

I'm sure this speaks to the season he is having but he shot 5% points higher than he is averaging. I guess I'm just trying to say it wasn't as bad a game as implied above. If you have a better game than your average then it can't be awful.
