He held out to get slightly more money but it's only one year guaranteed and team options for the next three??? His agent let him get robbed.
Lmao I really don't think that justified a stare down.
not sure i agree with that.
unless they were going to use him to get Wall, which i would be cool with.

Would Boston really want Wall with that max contract? I mean he's good, but idk...
Wall scares me. Obviously it's known he can't shoot, but he has had turnover issues, and his balky knee will likely sap that athleticism, and if he doesn't get more consistent ways of scoring, hell struggle.
Edit- I think isaiah is a big part of the defensive problem. It's not just his size, for some reason his effort just hasn't been there this year on rotations or running people off their shot. He also is a lot of the problem with guards sneaking in for put backs.
Overrated because he's exciting to watch and can score at will at times. Although he's been hot and cold this year and he runs his mouth too much.

Wall sucks
Better than maxing Barnes.
Wall's not even making 20 million per the next two years. He's easily worth that.
Problem is it's just two years. His next deal will be his first in the new cap environment so he'll be looking for something massive.
His 4.5 turnovers a game would be awesome.

Max Barnes > Wall

Watching the Cleveland Kyries on LP, audio is a second ahead of the video for the umpteenth consecutive game. Very annoying.
I just can't pretend that anymore.
Jaylen brown has definitely improved his repertoire in terms of moves, but he still needs to tighten his handle. If he improves that hell be a lethal scorer. Same with his shooting.
Edit-
Lmao no, and I'll admit I'm biased against barnes, he just reminds me so much of Jeff green, but no not close.

It's official. I passionately dislike the Rockets like I do Barcelona.

Insanely good is a stretch. If he was insanely good the Wiz wouldn't suck like they have.
Don't get me wrong he IS an upgrade for Boston, but I think he's overrated in terms of overall great players in the league.

Big comeback win by the Hawks.
Felt like if we lost this game then the 1 win would be a blip on the radar amidst the huge losing streak.
Also I see no reason not to just start Penny Jr all season.

I've got a soft spot for Pringles, he got absolutely shafted with his last 2 teams but he has done a nice job on the Rockets and he's a damn fine coach.
Westbrook is clearly a beast, but can you imagine how good he would be if he could resist the occasional urge to fuckball real hard on some possessions?

Beverley saved us with that great D on westbrook at the end

Beverley is my favorite Rocket. I don't ever want him to leave this team. Might even be willing to give the Beard up before him

We're back?!?!?
I don't see a reason for Penny to not start either but yeah that contract. Bud is going to have to grow some big balls to make that move.

I'm only about 2 hours in but the "WTF am I supposed to do moments" are really starting to bother me with this game. Already I've stumbled across a few solutions to passing some areas that I can see will frustrate some players.
Things are just so hardly explained outside of the initial controls in the beginning.

Yea. Basketball is really hard. You'll get the hang of it.
Sadly that is what the media wants to reward - ball-hogging, flopping, me-first play. What is the headline? WESTBROOK GETS 7TH TRIPLE DOUBLE. Yawn. Arbitrary, usage-rate driven stat. Dude shot 30% and his teammates shot 46%. Can we make an argument that he lost the game for them? (not saying he did...just saying that argument could be made...)
Meanwhile, Durant and Curry are having a blast just ripping through the league while learning how the entire thing is going to work, having fun, deferring to each other (and Klay), relishing and celebrating what their teammates are doing while employing true artistry in their endeavor (give me the Warriors passing any day over the low percentage iso/p&r drives).
MVP should go to one of them or LeBron at this rate.
