its not great

i think it’s better for them to have the high paid veteran FA signings be the back ups as opposed to the young guys who need to develop riding the bench, but it’s still kinda weird. that’s why i didn’t quite understand their off season, it’s like they have two teams on one roster. but i guess if bogdan and gallo etc aren’t complaining then it’s not a huge deal, gotta use the cap space somehow
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 7 January 2021 03:44 (three years ago) link
they had a mandate to make the playoffs and buckets of cap space but still have developmental players taking up a third of the roster. it's a tough needle to thread.

Dubs may have found something with paschal as the 2nd unit small ball center, working the last few games anyway
― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Thursday, 7 January 2021 05:01 (three years ago) link
it makes sense because he looks exactly like draymond
― lag∞n, Thursday, 7 January 2021 05:02 (three years ago) link
paschal is chunky but he's getting it done

things sound good in atlanta:
John Collins, the fourth-year big man who just weeks before bet on himself in a big way during his failed extension talks with the Hawks, shared his unfiltered and unhappy views about the way franchise centerpiece Trae Young was running the offense. According to three sources who were either in the session or had knowledge of what was said, Collins raised several issues about the way these Hawks were functioning with Young at the helm.Collins talked about the need to get into offensive sets more quickly and to limit all those early shot-clock attempts that leave his teammates on the outside looking in. He shared his desire to be more involved and expressed a desire for more ball involvement and flow on offense.There was no back-and-forth between the two, but the pointed criticism caught the attention of the room. And Young, sources say, made it clear to others later that he strongly disagreed with Collins’ assessment.

Two overtime losses for the nuggets already 🤦♂️

Haven’t there been Collins trade rumors for the last couple seasons? I think I’d be on his side of this one.

yeah hes right, the hawks offense is good but itd be better in his version

i think prob kyrie doesnt love the nba in the first place, obvs doesnt love being a public person, prob has some mental health issues, is like everyone having a hard time with the state of the world, and he would def be one to notice how corporate and ineffectual all the nbas social change stuff is, just doesnt feel like playing right now, baseless speculation obvs

i wonder how much of the john collins contract situation is him “betting on himself” vs not wanting to spend the first 8 years of his career playing with trae young. collins seems kinda like a difficult person but if your whole game is about offense i can see why playing with trae might be annoying. by the same token they often do play well together
― J0rdan S., Friday, 8 January 2021 16:54 (three years ago) link
yeah some of his frustration im sure is based on that hes not in atls long term plans
