hell yeah, im definitely going to all the hawks games - we can heckle steph and bron every time

My list 1. Carmelo Anthony - gets so much praise for not doing anything 2. Allen Iverson - feels like his basketball rating gets raised because of his cultural impact, inefficient offensive player, not a playmaker, not good on defense doesn't get him in the conversations I hear him in 3. Steph Curry - see people putting him in top 10, top 15 all time lists, everyone else there is an elite 2 way player who have also won a lot of chips and have longevity. Steph ain't there. 4. Can't think of other historical players atm, so ill say SGA 5. Ja

How is this not the standard for every team??

Don't think he plays more than 10 min a game max, most likely will be in the g league and filling in for injuries this season.

Trading him to free up playing time for JJ is gonna pay off well for us I believe

I can think of 2 reasons for getting Trae off ball more 1. Saves him energy so he can try more on defense 2. Trae is one of the best shooters in the league when open, so if someone can dish him a quality look, it's a great play. Our team had trouble setting up easy baskets last season, and if someone else can drive and kick to an open player, and that player happens to be a shooter like Trae, it's a great look. Also, Trae can probably make some cool creative plays after getting the ball from someone else while a play is in motion, dude reads the game so well even if he's not the one initiating the action, he can be the reason it ends with another pass to an open guy. Trae should be on ball most of the time, but when we got so many options for cooking, we should see what meals can get served.

Can't wait for this years Harden big boy suit, mans a master of sabotage

Nice, My top 10 would be something like 1. Kareem 2. MJ 3. Wilt 4. Bron 5. Kobe 6. Duncan 7. Magic 8. Shaq 9. Bird 10. O Rob

That's a personal choice that doesn't affect anyone, talking about how if you enjoy beyonce makes you a fake Christian is judging other people and that's not ok in any way.

He seems like a nice kid, but damn, if any of my coworkers were posting stuff like that or anything it would make the environment hella awkward. Who wants to work alongside people you know are judging tf out of you in a negative way? Last statement is just conjecture, but how often are people who are this vocal about their pretty out-there beliefs really going to let other people live their lives without being judgy? If we gotta trade AJ to get Siakam, pull that trigger - we good on offense at this point even though I wanted to see mans blossom into another ATL star

I HAD SOMETHING in my ear, it's gone now and idk why you're putting things on on a Friday, it's time to take that ish off and hit the beach

SHOOOT, THANKS!

Dude named his kid Nick... don't know if decision-making is his best strength lol

Ik Obi isn't a star, but he's an aight player older and bigger than JJ lol Also, Lonzo and Lamelo been practicing against chairs their whole lives and it got em to stardom in the NBA, don't be hating on the humble 4-legged trainer We don't HAVE to trade him, but he only has 2 years left on his deal and we want OO to start - makes sense on paper to trade him for a FRP to recoup some assets and let our young guy shine while CC still has good trade value

Issok Spud, you've backed yourself into a corner and gotta fight to survive now - I understand. Jalen going through his rocky training montage though so you better be prepared to say sorry in a couple months

Honestly got so annoyed when I heard JC say he was practicing his playmaking all summer last year, like Im glad he was able to dish a few passes out to CC over the year, but his time could've been better spent elsewhere. For playmaking like Jalen does, you gotta just have that vision and the ability to execute on it, and JC and Hunter just don't got the eyes or the passing ability to do it consistently enough to help our team in a significant way. Fingers crossed Hunter gets traded for Pascal, or that Quin drills into his head about making an extra pass - the tunnel vision is insane from everyone not in our backcourt

Let's not act like this is a majority opinion lol

seniors like choco chip waffles and hot chocolate right?

What's the qualifier?

Keeping my expectations low so i can be happily surprised

Maybe the hang up is on Kobe and he'll be traded this week and we can celebrate having a true #2 on the team next to Trae this weekend

JC played way more minutes so he has better counting stats, but Jalen had good impact in the small time he had on the court, and if you compare him and JC per 100 possessions or per 36, Jalen is scoring as much/a little more on slightly worse efficiency but is way better on the playmaking end. Jalen also clears in BPM and VORP Jalen being a guy that can make good secondary plays off of Trae is gonna show up way more in Snyders system than JC's efficient post game is gonna help IMO. I bet you we're happy we didn't trade Jalen away based on his on-court production by December, dude is poised to break out and is gonna eat playing under Snyder and next to Trae.

Hmmm, more rumblings happen that may come to fruition but aren't solid enough yet to be public? It would be great if we could get Josh Green for Clint, but I feel like Dallas values him too much and would rather throw in a FRP

Raptors fr gotta be the most annoying team to make deals with, like just take Hunter and CC and be happy
