tbh wood ended up signing for so cheap there was kind of a "why not?" factor to it. if he plays well and the background stuff is decent he could have trade value too.
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 21 January 2021 21:53 (three years ago) link
yeah def a defensible signing

i just hate the idea of breaking it all the way down if you dont have to. its still worthwhile to field a competitive team on the way to the next phase.

they have a couple months to get a good look at oladipo

spottie i agree w/ you re tanking, the heat never bottomed out between the big 3 and jimmy eras and some of those seasons were really fun, even after bosh's blood clot stuff. it just seems like that's where they're headed w/ this trade so i feel like if you're going to go the draft picks route you might as well go all in. i also think it's much harder in the west to play the 7-8 seed game because of how much stronger the conference is on the fringes of the playoff race.
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 21 January 2021 22:30 (three years ago) link
exactly. the clippers did it too after lob city broke up and turned themselves into a plug n play desirable place for big free agents. showing competency is important. but the big wildcard here is tilman firtitties money problems.
― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Thursday, 21 January 2021 22:54 (three years ago) link
that guy shd consider sell the team good way to get money
― lag∞n, Thursday, 21 January 2021 23:04 (three years ago) link
yeah for every team that successfully pulls off a hard tank (i guess the latest example is philly?) there are 3 or 4 more that never recover e.g. wolves, hawks
― micah, Thursday, 21 January 2021 23:50 (three years ago) link
i'm not sure how good a fit dipo is for the heat in terms of player profile. having two players in butler and adebayo who won't shoot outside the paint is barely viable in todays nba. oladipos breakout season was founded on unsustainably hot shooting which has now regressed to his mean
― micah, Friday, 22 January 2021 00:03 (three years ago) link
dipo to lakers makes more sense. even if they know its only for this season. hes set on getting paid as much as possible and reportedly turned down 25m p/a from the pacers
― micah, Friday, 22 January 2021 00:10 (three years ago) link
hes gonna end up on the knicks isnt he
― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Friday, 22 January 2021 00:17 (three years ago) link
probably yeah

dis lebron guy ayy hes pretty good

tbh haven’t seen much this year to convince me that we’re headed for anything other than the lakers going back to back pretty comfortably
― J0rdan S., Friday, 22 January 2021 03:14 (three years ago) link
yup
― call all destroyer, Friday, 22 January 2021 03:28 (three years ago) link
i miss the old irrelevant Lakers and as much as I kinda like LeBron and Ant Davis, I hate that they teamed up on the fucking Lakers.

Davis isn't such a sweet guy the world can't help but love him. otoh, it was obvious to me that NO is not a very competent franchise and he was being wasted there, so his being unhappy at that explains much. It isn't looking good for NO knowing how to make the most of our transcendent son Zion either.

That’s crazy
For those wondering, here's the play right before the ejection: Draymond Green tries to make an entry pass to James Wiseman, but a miscommunication leads to a turnover. As they get back on defense, Green yells at Wiseman and the refs ejected him! https://t.co/L3VbMNprs9— Alex Kennedy (@AlexKennedyNBA) January 22, 2021

they were being so negative about mitchell in the halftime of that game. it was bizarre.
― call all destroyer, Friday, 22 January 2021 12:08 (three years ago) link
It is a shame to see Shaq going hard like he was some Jordan-esque mind warrior of the game instead of just the biggest, strongest guy on the court. If you were such a basketball ubermensch maybe you would have shot better than 53% from the line for your career.
― Smokahontas and John Spliff (PBKR), Friday, 22 January 2021 12:45 (three years ago) link
Pfft he could have averaged 20 rebounds a game

what the hell Shaq, he's so weird on that show, grumpy and no funsaw him on First Take yesterday and he was super fun, like the big kid vibe, what happened to him on TNT?

its wild that the nba media employs so many people who just repeatedly shit on contemporary basketball, like that is bad for business, the nfl doesnt do that
