But then again, I think everything about y'all is overhyped so you probably can't rely on my opinion either, haha.

    With Russell, it's hard to tell what he'll be as a PG. I tend to give him(along with others on the team)a pass for last year after Byron's tough love, nonsensical coaching style.
    Didn't James run with the moniker and get a tattoo? He essentially annointed himself the King.

    Porzingis has never called himself a God and pretty much dislikes all of the nicknames given to him with exception being KP6.


    Btw, I don't care if he calls himself King James or whatever. If Porzingis gets a tattoo of a unicorn on his arm, I'd shake my head but whatever that boy want to do, that's on him.

      Somebody please rescue Bradley Beal and John Wall from this terrible, terrible place in DC.

      Otto Porter will also need a good home. Kelly Oubre possibly.


      The rest are trash.

        Hindsight is 20/20, though

        Shoot, that's even if they were to take Simmons assuming they'd be in that position.

        It's like OJ said there aren't that many good big men in the league right now. Whereas you look at the guard position in the NBA and there is a depth of talent. I think I remember hearing the last couple years something like 17/30 teams wouldn't trade for Rondo because they already had a good PG. Whereas you use Aldridge in that example there are maybe 4/5 that wouldn't trade for him because they already have a good player at the 4. And Porzingis has shown that he starting to grow in his offensive game faster than D'Lo has. I think he is averaging somewhere around 20ppg and shooting around 45% from the field. Whereas D'Lo is averaging around 14ppg on something like 40% from the field.
        OJ said that? I thought he's been like me in that there's more good big men in the league than people think, and there is.

        Cousins, Towns, Lopez, Drummond, Davis, Howard, Horfard, Gasols, Gobert, Jurkic, Aldridge, Valinciunas, Vucevic, Adams, Thompson, Whiteside. Anybody that says there aren't many good big men in the league are watching a different league.

        Yes it's true that his game has grown faster than Russell, but again, he was also in a much better situation than Russell was due to the fact that every time Russell started making progress, he had a coach that would put a stop to that for no reason.

          I screwed up in what I meant about what OJ said. I was agreeing with him about the depth at the guard spot compared to big men. And some of the guys that you mentioned I'm not all that enamored with including Jokic, Lopez, Thompson, and Adams. Now that could change in a couple years. And there were some that I completely blanked on, like I did with the guards, including Whiteside, Gasols and Gobert.

            Adams and Lopez are two of the offensive(Lopez)and defensive(Adams) players in the league and in Adams' case, one of the best PnR bigs in the league. How are you not enamored with them?

            And how in the world did you blank on the Gasols? You're the first person I've heard say that haha

              I have absolutely no idea how I blanked on the Gasols. Also when talking about guards I didn't mention Wall or Beal so. Hell I almost included Avery Bradley before thinking of those two. With Lopez it's about the injuries he has sustained lately. And to be honest I probably haven't watched enough of Adams to make a fair judgement assessment of him. So my opinions could change in a couple weeks or months after I have watched more.

                Lopez hasn't gotten any injuries lately though. The foot surgeries he had were 3 years ago and he's been healthy ever since then.

                  I thought he missed a lot of time last year but I was wrong. Nevermind that then.

                        I wish Portland still had him. He's looked good this season in Chicago.

                          Plumlee was looking like the new Andris Biedrins last night. They have him pushing the ball for a break every time he gets a rebound, Don Nelson style.
