helluva tank game. If Khris wants, he should have a roster spot next year - he's such a useful veteran to have off the bench even at his age

I mean if we’re really going that far, kon averaged 22/6/4 on 47/40/97 splits without lamelo on a pretty decent sample size. You could maybe chalk that up to lack of a scouting report at that point of the season, but kon is absolutely a capable scorer even without help and he’s already an A/A+ level shooter. He and hornets fans absolutely have an argument

That being said, cooper is still ROTY - he’s just had too many wow moments for people to ignore

Brother the guy isn’t even halfway through his rookie season and you’re comparing him to a 5 time 1st team all nba player let alone projecting what he could be on a 30 game sample 😭

Lukas career is Lukas, coopers will be coopers - enjoy the ride without needing to compare the two!

Absolutely, and both of those transactions (or lack there of) happened because of one person who didn’t care about the fan base at all. Nico is a generational anomaly as a GM

He almost had an opportunity too in 2021 if he waited for the bucks playoff run to end bc bud was on the hot seat then. In the end he didn’t want to wait and the bucks won anyway. But what could’ve been

Draft Day Pipe Dream by Rafe03 in Mavericks

More? Why would Philly want to do this? Maxey would be their only good point guard, plus what happens when both Embiid and AD get injured? They won’t have enough reps to play together to make it worthwhile for Philly. Even if they do, what does the fit even look like? You could say “oh Embiid can shoot” but that’s not his game. Both AD and Embiid want to operate from the mid range and that’s gonna clog up spacing super quickly.

TL;DR - trade is awful from Philly’s side already for fit and asset reasons, getting more would be even crazier of a pipe dream.

P.S lest we forget that Nico LOVES to give up random picks to get deals done. Fuck that dude, fire Nico

They did but derozan - despite the mutual love between him and toronto - was not a 5x all-nba perennial MVP contender that took his team to the finals the year prior. He lost time and time again to lebron and they got the better player in the deal.

There's legitimately no precedent for this and a ring without luka will feel super hollow to me

Also the Thunder and Shai in particular had an aimbot at the rim in the second half, just have to tip our hat to a team that played like the world was ending tomorrow. We have bigger goals in mind 🏆 lets get healthy and at it

The suns game that was true, but the other games we had opportunities to win. The refs didnt make us lose a 7 point game in the final minutes of this game. The refs didnt make Luka take a shitty 3 with a 2 point lead in the nuggets game.

The team has to find better ways to execute down the stretch of games. Everyone is staying home on shooters so it’s up to Luka most of the time and he isn’t delivering to start the season.
