tough to see how they have a good defense, no frontcourt depth, none of their guards may be that great

i just read the piece and he doesnt think theyll have a good D his argument is that they upgraded their shooting and depth which were big issues last year and that maybe their new coach will at least get them to try on D

That’s def a best case scenario

basically he just thinks that with shooters around zion and ingram they will be able to put the ball in the ring
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 12 October 2021 15:57 (two years ago) link
which is maybe not unreasonable considering zion is already a dunk and layup machine at only 21 years of age, now on the other hand he is a very heavy guy who just broke his foot

the one thing you get from reading these hollinger previews (which i really enjoy) is how much he/his model value depth
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 12 October 2021 16:07 (two years ago) link
i personally don’t think you can have a passable defense with zion on your team as of now, and they’re reliant to some degree on guys like alexander walker, trey murphy etc who i have no idea whether or not they’re good. but zion, ingram, jonas, graham should be a ready made play in game contender at worst barring some disaster, tho since it’s the pelicans disaster may come into play

This is the second pretty serious injury for Zion Williamson in 2 nba seasons, and they essentially covered up both of them

Irving for Simmons solves both teams' issues on paper. I don't see that working out for the Sixers for sure.

kyrie said he'll retire if hes traded his situation is more toxic than simmons imo

houston would probably rather have irving retire on them than have to keep paying john wall. A win-win!

did he really? so he won't get the vax to play in home games and also won't accept a trade to a team that might be able to play him 75% of the time? he probably should retire, honestly

It's not like there's nothing good about Kyrie. Focusing on community shit might be good for him
Kyrie Irving is extremely generous:· Bought George Floyd's mom a house· Paid tuition for 9 HBCU students· Bought 200+ kids Christmas presents· Provided 250k Thanksgiving meals in NYC· Donated $1.5M to WNBA playersIt's sad to see him called selfish for a personal decision.— Joe Pompliano (@JoePompliano) October 12, 2021

i mean its nick wright but still
Some NBA news: There are a handful of Kyrie trades that potentially make sense for the Nets, Kyrie’s agents have made it known that Kyrie would simply *retire from the NBA* if Brooklyn were to trade him.— nick wright (@getnickwright) September 15, 2021

Would love Kyrie to retire and do good works. Preferably right before GM6 of the ECF.

Ali would approve, because resisting getting a safe, effective vaccine, at no cost, to help prevent the spread of a virulent contagious disease that has killed millions of innocent people (to no good purpose) is exactly the same as resisting fighting an unjust war that killed millions of innocent people (to no good purpose).
