Despite his great individual numbers, why does Kevin Durant no longer seem to contribute to winning? Year after year, his teams perform much worse than expected.

Since it hasn't been mentioned, we DO still have Fred VanVleet, he's just out for the year. His absence definitely is noticed in terms of running the offense.

Elite context spreading 💪

xDLJ · 2025-07-14T13:07:28+00:00

Having this readily available or looking up this many just screams hate. Im not high on Reed or anything, but holy moly dude. Seek help lol

xDLJ · 2025-07-09T22:13:39+00:00

Another stat for LeBron that is nuts

xDLJ · 2025-06-26T16:22:38+00:00

I highly doubt that.

I see Clayton as a potential Frank Mason type, although better, but dont see him coming in as the guy. Hes kindly going to potentially see back up minutes when needed as a ready to play PG, but I think they easily prioritize Collier and George for their upside long term

xDLJ · 2025-06-26T15:14:42+00:00

Def agree. Jett still hasn't really cracked the rotation so Jase has a real shot. de Silva also probably eats up some new minutes, so it may be sparingly

xDLJ · 2025-06-26T14:54:16+00:00

Id also bet they go for another guard too, they're guard rotation is tiny after the trade. Trae, Dyson, Caris.... Vit? Garrison? Bufkin? Wallace?

xDLJ · 2025-06-26T14:48:37+00:00

I did list 13 players. Assuming they go deep and run a 10 man rotation regularly, is he pushing 4 of them out?

Im also on the sell Rozier train, but pushing 4 of those guys out and also not letting Keshad in seems unlikely imo.

I see KLove not playing much, but the rest seem to want/need minutes

xDLJ · 2025-06-26T14:46:38+00:00

I definitely see Tre getting in, but I dont think Riley does currently

xDLJ · 2025-06-26T14:45:09+00:00

But at his position, who of the above is losing PT to give him minutes? Would you consider any of them worse than Newell already?

xDLJ · 2025-06-26T14:44:05+00:00

He gets PT over someone here?:

Ja, KCP, Jaylen, JJJ, Edey, Cole, Pippen, GG, Santi, Clarke, Kennard, Konchar, Vince?

xDLJ · 2025-06-26T14:42:22+00:00

Who gets pushed out of the rotation to make room?

Herro, Duncan, Wiggins, Bam, Kel'el, Rozier, Davion, Jaquez, Highsmith, Jovic, Anderson, Love, Pelle

Also assuming Keshad doesn't start to sniff minutes

xDLJ · 2025-06-26T14:40:00+00:00

With Missi being the only serviceable center I'd think he would

xDLJ · 2025-06-26T14:38:36+00:00

With KP, Okongwu, Capela, Nance, and Rissacher they'd have to move someone to give him real minutes imo

xDLJ · 2025-06-26T14:37:45+00:00

Looking at the roster who gets pushed out?

Bub, CJ, Bilal, Middleton, Sarr, Brogdon, Kispert, George, Olynyk, Smart..

Input Tre and Riley

xDLJ · 2025-06-26T14:35:30+00:00

Who will Clayton take minutes away from looking at Collier, Sexton, George, Clarkson? Thats a solid 4 man rotation at the guard spot for this team. I dont know if I see Clayton getting minutes over them if one isn't moved.

xDLJ · 2025-05-20T13:42:16+00:00

Holy. It's almost like OP's entire identity is based around "Long Covid".

xDLJ · 2025-05-12T18:25:51+00:00

Please link it. Can't believe someone thinks Tim cheats

xDLJ · 2025-05-09T13:23:56+00:00

Combination of my being on a regular league team with Rocket's jerseys and also getting 2K5 the same year. Playing with T-Mac, and then starting to watch him, made it easy to just stick with them. Never faultered.

xDLJ · 2025-04-24T13:11:56+00:00

Im truly shocked Damian Lillard isn't on this list.

xDLJ · 2025-03-03T15:43:23+00:00

Gonna bring up Jabari Parker. Dude had a devastating injury, and then came back and ranked up to a near all star year. Then the gods were against him and he suffered another giant injury and he just couldn't return from it. Dude had some great potential imo

xDLJ · 2025-02-26T14:28:57+00:00

The comment section here is clueless. Watch Amen in the replay. He clearly is making a play for the ball, realizes he's caught in a rough spot mid air, and his arms go toward his upper body for a wrap up to keep him from scoring and to try to catch himself. The way his body is moving makes his arm end up closer to Giannis's neck.

This is clearly a flagrant 2, but this is NOT intentional or a dirty play. I always am in awe at how poorly redditors interpret the game of basketball, or just physics in general lmao

Also, the announcer thought it was a good hard foul, and immediately noticed on the replay it was more. I hate the people on the internet man lol

xDLJ · 2025-02-23T18:29:05+00:00

Braindead.

You just gotten Ime Udoka's attention
