Well, he's getting destroyed right now, but everyone has him rated top 4, so no.
Average athlete and shooter, still hasn't learned how to dribble and pass so he's been average.
I think he's a mediocre athlete. Doesn't have the quickness or first step to get by anyone. Nor is he crafty enough to get by anyone. Can't believe the hype he got his freshman year. This kid was called the next Kobe Bryant and was named a preseason first team all american, a first for a freshman. Hilarious when you consider that both Durant and Carmelo went to college for one season. The one and done rule protected teams from themselves because this kid would have went 1st out of HS and would have been hyped to the level Durant was.

The Cataclysm has arrived.
This sounds terrible, but it doesn't really matter. Or at least I don't really care anymore.
They match up horribly w/ MEM.
Definitely. Front court is much better, Tony Allen is allowed to maul guys on the perimeter. They're really tough. For a lot of teams.
I've never seen a team throw away their opportunity to defend their championship like a hot potato. If i were nowitzki i'd be pissed. This is one year he is never getting back. On the other hand, if their gamble with howard/williams pans out he might be in a better position to win more championships in the last few years of his career. But a gamble is all that is.

Umm, Grizz look kind of legit. Mavs look like ass
The Mavs are probably going to lose in the first round. Kidd is injured and no one has an steady offensive game on that team other than Dirk.

Honestly I think they are pretty satisfied. Even Dirk

You make it sound like Dirk came to play this year.
Dude was hung over until January.

That is ridiculous. He was playing like ass at the beginning of the year, but look at the tear he has been on the last month or so.

Except that the moves they made are about next year.
I think they're all OK with the moves that were made.

wtf dallas down by a lot.

No, they aren't. They miss chandler's size advantage on both sides of the ball. Chandler sets some of the best picks in the NBA, is a lob threat on every offensive set he's in and has great hands. And on defense he's left a big void.

I think they're ok with everything as long as they get deron or dwight in the off season.

Which is why i called them moves.........." a gamble". It's not guaranteed anyone will sign with them.
Memphis has the athletes, bigs and shooters to play with anyone. This is a dangerous team and as a Lakers fan, I want no part of them lol
When Mem and LAL play, both gasols seem to shit the bed. And that hurts mem more than LAL.

I thought Dwight already signed his option for next season? And I don't think Deron is leaving the nets.

I would imagine that Pau has a psychological edge from beating up Marc when they were kids. Older siblings always have that over their younger siblings.

Uh-oh, the Grizz are on their way to beating the Thunder.

All contracts in the NBA are a gamble.
Contract year Tyson Chandler was a gamble to re-sign.
JJ Barea playing at a high level was a gamble to re-sign.
Deshawn Stevenson knocking down big 3's and playing good D, was a gamble to re-sign.
They could have locked a lot of long term money up on a lot of gambles right then and there.
I'd give up those 3 to pair dwight with Dirk though.
Or Deron. (Deron would mean that their second unit wouldn't rely on JET chucking when dirk went out)..
He can be traded though. Just not signed out right now. The fiasco hasn't really ended, just been put on hold for 3 months.I thought Dwight already signed his option for next season? And I don't think Deron is leaving the nets.
.
I can't see why Deron would stay with the nets. There's not a single good reason too.

At this point, fuck it.
The Cats should take Brittney Griner. The Wizards can have that frog-looking motherfucker if they want him.

The Bulls shouldn't have been in this position but Kyle Korver just got called for a foul after the ball got literally kicked out of his hands and then kicked away from him after they scrambled for it.

Do you guys think any team drafting in the top 5-7 would trade their pick for Bynum?

Exactly my point.....again.

I still think Candace Parker can take Henderson's spot.
Word on everything.

NJ just gave up a ridiculously high (Top 3 protected) pick for Wallace. Someone is bound to offer some RGIII shit for Bynum.

This draft is apparently pretty week after the top 5.
So maybe.

Yes because this draft is nothing special.
And its surprising that MKG was a post player in HS. He has the potential to be something special if he keeps transitioning over to the perimeter as fast as he's been doing it.
This draft is apparently pretty week after the top 5.
So maybe.
This draft is pretty weak after Davis. He's most likely the only player that has superstar potential. Beal is a homeless man's Eric Gordon and a lot of people have him or MKG(who I really like, but will take a while to develop) going second.

If he had a good attitude and fine health, then yeah.
But I don't think so with his current situation.

MKG's ceiling is somewhere above Tyreke and below Wade to me. Still a solid player.

Lakers could probably get any pick excluding the first for Bynum. Bynum has 20 and 10 potential and can be a defensive anchor.

If that was 2k12, Russell wouldve blocked it. With ease.

Jazz getting destroyed by Matthews, ffffffff
He has no similarities to either other than being bad at shooting.
