In their final preseason game, he injured his kneecap as he landed after a dunk.[65] The day before the 2009–10 season started, it was confirmed that Griffin had a stress fracture in his left knee, delaying his NBA debut for seven weeks.[65] After resting the stress fracture for several weeks, tests revealed that his knee was not recovering properly.[66] In January 2010, Griffin had surgery on his broken left kneecap, causing him to miss the remainder of the 2009–10 season.[66]blake broke his knee dunking before he even entered the NBA and then dunked more than anyone in the NBA the following two years in the most insane and violent ways we’ve possibly ever seen. zion doesn’t play this way and has never suffered a major knee injury so idk why he needs to be saddled with blake’s problems

zion dunked like 5 times last night and each time it looked like it required 2% physical exertion

hot take: ppl itt want zion to fail
― class project pat (m bison), Saturday, 13 February 2021 18:24 (three years ago) link
yeah people playing defense against zion is like how defense was in the 70s or something, just complete lack of interest in messing with him lol
― k3vin k., Saturday, 13 February 2021 18:35 (three years ago) link
teams like dallas who are playing dudes like zinger and maxi klieba in the front court will have zero chance of stopping zion. of course dallas won by 13 and zinger scored as many points as zion so i guess it’s relative
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 13 February 2021 18:40 (three years ago) link
i feel like the human mind just cannot properly process zion, he really has the handle speed athleticism and finishing touch of an elite small forward except he weighs 300lbs so also defenders just bounce off him, which makes it look like zinger et al arent trying to defend him when really they just have no ability to defend him

lebron is prob the closest player to him but hes bigger and smoother than bron

philly still having serious problems on the road despite little to no fans in the arenas is funny to me

It’s so weird that the nets can really compete for a chip at this point. Aside from the somewhat compelling weirdos on the squad the franchise is blah and boring. Like I can’t even hate them or anything just no personality. I don’t even know a nets fan and I live in the Tri-state.

the rest of the team is prob a bottom 5 roster in the NBA
DRAY v KLAY is vindicated once again.
― Compromise isn't a principle, it's a method (Aimless), Sunday, 14 February 2021 04:05 (three years ago) link
if you took draymond off the team and put klay on it would prob still be a bottom 5 roster

i think theyre ok in the FO. getting dlo as KD left and flipping him for wiggins and minny's pick was good. but they have not drafted well with the picks theyve had outside wiseman which was kind of a no-brainer.
― class project pat (m bison), Sunday, 14 February 2021 04:24 (three years ago) link
when was their last good draft move - picking dray in 2012? idk how much credit a FO should get for signing free agents (iggy, 2013?) or kd who was really signed by dray
― micah, Sunday, 14 February 2021 04:26 (three years ago) link
i don't agree at all that getting russell was good! he sucks, and they traded him for another guy who sucks so they could bank draft picks while wasting steph's prime.
― call all destroyer, Sunday, 14 February 2021 04:32 (three years ago) link
they're incredibly lucky that the wolves had a reason to overpay for russell or they would have been stuck with a mediocre point guard on a max contract

2020 wiseman (2), mannion (48), jessup (51)2019 poole (28), paschall (41), oni (58)2018 evans (28)2017 none2016 damian jones (30)2015 looney (30)2014 none2013 none
not exactly a lot of high impact players. granted, theyve traded away a fair number of picks and theyve been towards the end of the first round most of the time, but yikes. the 2015 draft had a lot of good players go in the 2nd round (harrell, richaun holmes, josh richardson, osman, norm powell) that would be pretty helpful to them right now.
― class project pat (m bison), Sunday, 14 February 2021 04:34 (three years ago) link
wiggins is way overpaid, but that minny pick will be good. i think it was a long-term move with a short-term kick in the pants. and wiggins has been at least playable.
― class project pat (m bison), Sunday, 14 February 2021 04:36 (three years ago) link
like if minny doesnt get a top 3 pick (probably pretty likely given the way draft odds are setup) it goes to gs this year. a top 5 pick in this draft is going to be a very good player.
― class project pat (m bison), Sunday, 14 February 2021 04:38 (three years ago) link
yeah i just haven't agreed with the process at all because even if it works it's going to waste a bunch of prime steph years.
― call all destroyer, Sunday, 14 February 2021 04:40 (three years ago) link
i’ve defended them before on the draft picks thing... the heat did the same thing during the bron years (pick low ceiling immediate role players at the end of the draft) and then right after that went on one of the better strings of drafting in the league they also put a coach in place that fostered a style of play/culture that got kevin durant to go there in FA and create possibly the best team of all time, should count for something
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 14 February 2021 04:48 (three years ago) link
maybe there was some luck in the russell thing but it netted them one of the most valuable trade pieces in the league rn idk how that’s not considered a huge win for them
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 14 February 2021 04:49 (three years ago) link
one could make the argument they should be flipping or packaging those picks (incl wiseman) for legit grown up dudes but they already have $174m on the payroll this year and $160m next so it's kinda rough. having so much money tied up in klay not a big help atm

i guess the question is a. can you get beal for wiseman + wolves pick b. can you actually win a title in the next 2-3 years with steph, klay, beal, wiggins, draymond and whatever bench you're able to cobble together. it feels like a steep price to pay to me.
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 14 February 2021 07:03 (three years ago) link
i feel like they'll ultimately take the path of least resistance which is picking a young player to go w/ wiseman, extending steph to keep him a warrior and just playing it out w/ some fun seasons that don't really lead to serious title contention. and i'm not sure i would really blame them
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 14 February 2021 07:11 (three years ago) link
Draymond gets 10% worse every year and klay might not play again. So idk what you do really. If Steph wasn’t the franchise icon you’d trade him I guess.
― Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 14 February 2021 15:14 (three years ago) link
yeah thats basically it. they committed for better or worse to the trio who got them to the summit of hoops mountain. and age is fucking them up hardcore. credit to the owners i guess for being willing to spend into oblivion to keep their team competitive and getting picks that position them for the post-stephdrayklay years.
― class project pat (m bison), Sunday, 14 February 2021 15:36 (three years ago) link
they must be on the see how it looks next year plan
― lag∞n, Sunday, 14 February 2021 15:38 (three years ago) link
if klay can play and be like 75% of his former self, theyll be p good.
― class project pat (m bison), Sunday, 14 February 2021 15:53 (three years ago) link
if they get minnys pick this year theyll be in an interesting spot as trading it makes sense for the steph team but keeping it makes sense for post steph, which was i guess was the same situation they were in last draft except teams werent that stoked about that draft but teams are very stoked about this one
― lag∞n, Sunday, 14 February 2021 16:07 (three years ago) link
They made a nice pick this year if they make a nice one again they’ll have something going. It’s not like you can’t win games with young guys
― Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 14 February 2021 16:16 (three years ago) link
yeah its true if you pick a future star theyre usually serviceable role player by year two
― lag∞n, Sunday, 14 February 2021 16:28 (three years ago) link
i wld def lean towards making the pick, especially since theyve already got wiseman
― lag∞n, Sunday, 14 February 2021 16:30 (three years ago) link
ive never heard anything about what sort of power steph has in the organization, got to think hes at least a little bit frustrated at this point
― lag∞n, Sunday, 14 February 2021 16:34 (three years ago) link
crazy with the new lottery system the worst team has a less than 50% chance of landing in the top 3, its good this way imo more fun, not sure if its had the desired effect of stopping tanking tho the worst team still has the best odds and the highest floor
― lag∞n, Sunday, 14 February 2021 16:37 (three years ago) link
minny currently has the worst record which would put them at 60% to get either the 4 or 5 pick, pretty sick for the warriors
― lag∞n, Sunday, 14 February 2021 16:39 (three years ago) link
if they got the 4th pick in this draft they could actually hope within reason to get a player who could turn out to be as good as bradley beal, which i think would maybe make it untradeable. i’m not sure that’s quite true if it drops to 5 or 6.

honestly he seems to be enjoying himself? no one ever talks about him leaving

As long as klay is still good it’s still the best situation for him
― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Sunday, 14 February 2021 17:20 (three years ago) link
his contract is up after next season, he’s extension eligible and hasn’t signed, and if he got traded to a contending team he could potentially flip the balance of the league... and there’s just zero talk of this happening at all. there must be no agitation coming from his side

― Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 14 February 2021 17:31 (three years ago) link
even if the tier extends to 6, aren't the odds of picking someone who would turn out to be as good as beal (ie, a top 15ish player) pretty low? for a team that's rebuilding that's a gamble you take, but for a team with an MVP candidate and some other potential pieces it seems like the sort of thing you leverage for a sure thing of a current star
