My impression of Zach Collins' personality is that he'll keep trying to work his way back into the NBA, even if it means another long rehab and a stint out of country... until it is obvious to him there's no hope of success. Could take a while for that to sink in.

Ilgauskas had like 6 foot surgeries before one finally worked

imagine a bunch of teams will be happy to give collins another shot at a cost of very little
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 30 June 2021 19:01 (three years ago) link
Even bill Walton eventually had a healthy season for Boston. Admittedly both those guys were more talented than collins.
― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 30 June 2021 23:19 (three years ago) link
yeah i guess that's my question w/ collins... what is he good at in the NBA exactly? shooting kinda?
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 1 July 2021 00:13 (three years ago) link
some defensive potential but i think he fouled like it was going out of style
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 1 July 2021 00:20 (three years ago) link
if his foot gets right he could play some backup minutes again but i think the ship has sailed on him ever being a starter or anything.

that aint a bad offer

malcolm brogdon is very fucking good and im honestly kinda mad i didnt think of this idea earlier?

yeah Brogdon in Philly actually makes sense to me

indy still thinking of simmons as a guard big mistake
― lag∞n, Friday, 2 July 2021 20:00 (three years ago) link
of maybe theyre just doing the trade based on talent and figure the fit out later
― lag∞n, Friday, 2 July 2021 20:03 (three years ago) link
honestly getting him plus a first (is it indiana's #13??) would be a great deal for philly. i know its not a asset haul but it gives them a player who complements their group rly well plus a 1st rounder which can either be used to draft a good player or sent off for another vet.
― class project pat (m bison), Friday, 2 July 2021 20:07 (three years ago) link
i feel like one of the major hesitations for sixers in that deal would having your two best players both w/ extensive prior histories of leg injuries
― J0rdan S., Friday, 2 July 2021 20:12 (three years ago) link
yeah good pt. if they want durability but no 3 point range, demar derozan is available!
― class project pat (m bison), Friday, 2 July 2021 20:18 (three years ago) link
I would have taken that deal if I was the sixers, assuming it’s the 13th pick. I also think the pacers could be really good if they just nailed that pick.
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 2 July 2021 22:27 (three years ago) link
yeah, feel like theyre one big wing away from being a goodass team. i think they need to trade turner, though. franz wagner? jalen johnson? ziaire williams as the nu paul george?
― class project pat (m bison), Friday, 2 July 2021 22:34 (three years ago) link
word out of indy is that trade rumour is inaccurate
― micah, Friday, 2 July 2021 23:13 (three years ago) link
simmons would fit at the 4 next to turner, and the pacers have the guards to fill out the roster. would need to trade sabonis though. there might be the bones of a 3 team trade that would make sense

yeah, I noticed that. maybe Brooks has good organizational skills or something that would never show up during his in-game coaching. just trying to find the silver lining here. (weak apologetic smile)

Don't know why I need to post this because of people being trolls, but for the last time:Clippers listed Kawhi Leonard as available for Game 5 against Utah. He traveled with the team and legit thought he was okay to play. Told media publicly, and later told teammates privately. pic.twitter.com/BDvxNLMzvl— Farbod Esnaashari (@Farbod_E) July 14, 2021

seems like kawhi is taking that player option and possibly going into free agency next summer with a huge question mark, sheesh

it's clear the most important thing to him is living in southern california

yeah, if there was any doubt that he was staying (there wasn't) this seals it.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 14 July 2021 12:12 (three years ago) link
just feels like the whole thing is over whether kawhi stays or goes, just the idea of winning a championship with a team built around kawhi/pgand how do they even attempt to move forward? unless I'm reading this wrong they don't have a first round pick until 2027https://fanspo.com/nba/teams/Clippers/13/draft-picks
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 14 July 2021 12:25 (three years ago) link
i think that's right.
when i saw this news i was trying to think of any scenario in which it makes sense for the clippers to move on from kawhi and i don't think there is one. this is going to end up like a middle-aged couple going through the motions.

Clippers could trade pg for a big package and then try and retool around Kawhi once he comes back.
