That Zion block was something else.
You can argue with them in hindsight, however, when those picks were made they looked to be the rignt ones. That's the challenge with building through the draft in a lottery league. I remember Carter Williams looking decent his first year, then they traded him I believe. Or perhaps it was after but he completely fell off the map after his rookie year.
I don't think what the 76ers did was wrong. If you can't attract free agents, you gotta tank and accumulate draft assets. Unfortunately that's the easy part.
I'll solve that. They aren't the Knicks are unfortunately the NY team.
Yea, the Nets struggled with even Jason Kidd. They're a NJ team. You can try to do this and twist things around, but the nets are the clippers.
This is the best you can do? Sit down.
I think Ja is going to be the better NBA player. And that doesn't mean Zion can't be a perennial all star. I just think the way the game has shifted his skills translate better to the game now. I'm a big fan of Morant.
It'll be interesting to see how those two teams develop since they have maybe the two best up and coming players in smaller markets for the NBA. I personally hope they both stay and NO and Memphis can build around them. The league is better if you can have a milwaukee, no, memphis contending. Then have the Lakers, Celtics going. And then maybe a portland or Houston in contention.
I love DeAndre Ayton so much.
It was a pisstake of the ridiculous post about the Pels.

I just want him to get more aggressive and assert himself. Has all the tools but plays so passively sometimes. Doesnt help we picked him over Luka so I'm sure that leads to people judging him more intently
Of course the draft is the perfect power balance for struggling teams. That’s not new and I’m not arguing against that. But have any other teams branded their strategy and told fans to Trust The Process?
All cooking is results based; at some point the food has to taste good. You could say the process has been successful, but the level of success should match the level of hype, and it certainly hasn’t.

If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.
Zion looked an absolute beast on the 4th the other night, he can be scary good if he stays injury free.

I’m not so sure. If Morant becomes the better player, I’d wager it would have to do with injury issues. Also, it depends on how much spacing the Pelicans add to boost Zion’s production.
Zion is a very good passer. His quickness for his size in unreal. His handle is pretty solid too and will only get better. Against the Spurs, they dared him to shoot and he knocked down 4 very very clutch shots that got them back into the game. He’s not the GOAT from range but he is very capable of making them (and obviously worked with one of the better shooting coaches in Vinson in the offseason.
Anything can happen obviously. And Ja may have some meteoric rise the likes of Luka had. Everything is there. But we may not see another Zion for quite some time. And no, I wouldn’t compare him with LBJ as much as I’d compare Zion with Jordan. He is shooting unseen numbers at the rim.
I don’t really understand the Lakers recruitment strategy. LeBron and AD are amazing but everything around them is wank. If LeBron gets injured they’re useless.
I really hope this Kobe news isn't true
