  1. How we feeling about Markkanen? Let's get him and Dragic and create an all-star Euro team.
  2. Any idea where you caught it?

    Italy could be very good for Dest. They might actually teach him how to be a defender.
  5. In the darkest days of the season (February) there were several posters fearing he wouldn't. We now have four years to put a team around him. I think everyone's concern is that after he signs the extension, they are going to be hamstrung to do much to improve the team (aka KP's contract and no draft picks). This is one reason I'd like to trade Brunson and some, not all, of these other moveable contracts (Powell, Maxi, DFS, etc.) to start getting draft assets back. They're going to have to start taking the draft seriously, there's really no other choice at this point. That being said, I do think they did a good, not great, job this offseason. I don't think anyone was out there that was going to fix all their issues, but they did address shooting and added some defense. I can see the offense being very good in the regular season, similar to 2019. I really hope they avoid their typical slow start to the season because I do think they could get the 3 seed if everything breaks their way.
  6. If Toronto is going to be stingy with Dragic, I'd prefer to just get Reggie Jackson. He should be a cheaper option who can still score. Shot 43% from 3 last season.
  7. I just think Brunson is going to cost a ton next summer. Not sure I want to spend a lot on backup pg.
  8. To me, it's not all about there not being a spot for Brunson so much as I don't think they're going to want to pay him next summer. Need to get max value for that contract while you can.
  9. No way they can run Dragic and THJ out there with Luka. We will get shredded. I think Dragic or THJ become 6th man in that scenario. I still think Brunson is gone if we get Dragic.
  10. Just get Dragic and perhaps a big like Holmes and wrap this shit up.
  11. Not really sure how I feel about this. I guess it makes Luka happy so that's good. But is this going to improve us much? Even if he has a bounce-back year, he's more of a 25-minute per game type of guy at this stage.
  12. Who do you hope to get at this point?
  13. We really not going to make a sub and just let them continue to over run our tired legs?
  14. Mexico is so exposed to the counter right now but it’s because they know we have nobody that will burn them. Arriola is a black hole. We can’t string three consecutive passes together to play out of trouble and make them pay. This is so freaking ugly. Might as well just put in Dike and go route 1.
  15. Oh look, another opportunity for Arriola to fuck up. Please sub his ass out.
  16. Can’t believe everything right now. Agents posturing for more money. Lowry to the Heat seems like the likeliest scenario though. I think you have to throw the bank at Lonzo at that point, though. Those teams cannot pay as much as Dallas if it came down to it.
  17. Apparently it’s a one-way trade because Boston had a trade exception from the Gordon Hayward trade. Didn’t even know that was a thing. Either way, we have a shit ton of cap space.
  18. Should have been a damn pk before that but we’ll worked goal. I like Zardes as a sub. Good shit.
  19. I think I've talked myself into Lonzo. I know he's not necessarily a shot creator, but he shoots the 3 at a decent enough clip, passes well, and is a good defender. I don't think there's anyone out there that fixes all our issues, but he at least fixes some of them and is young enough to keep improving.
  20. This just seems like something we're going to get burned on...
