and i as well don't disagree with what you're saying- i just think Mo was special in that regard. he was beyond great, at rim protection; the guy was transcendent. but as you said, with Mihm, TT, KD, Damion, etc we aren't lacking for rim protection. still, Mo is the best i've ever seen in that regard.
Check my edit. I think you’re right.

i actually just made an edit to my last post saying as much, but to me he's got to be on my team. im going to heavily rely on maybe 6-8 guys on this team for the most part, while the rest, as great as they are, will be role players and bit players. I want Mo Bamba on the court when the game is tight and i'm trying to hold onto a lead. I've honestly never seen another player in league history who affected as many shots as Mo did. He virtually shut down everything within 8 feet of the hoop, and that's a great commodity to have for when you need it.
I don’t disagree but I think you’re overlapping with skills already on the roster. TT was an elite level rim protector in college and KD obviously has the ability. You have Mihm for size if you need it plus we know what PJ can do on defense against anyone.
Edit: That said Mo averaged a full block more per game than TT so maybe Thomas doesn’t make my squad which makes me sad.

My squad is light at the wing with no Hamilton but I think KD and PJ can handle it. This team does have some insane lineup possibilities though. Imagine going small...
TJ, DJ, Ivey, PJ, KD
or big...
Ivey, KD, PJ, TT, LMA
-
TJ
DJ
KD
PJ
LMA
AJ, Ivey, TT, Mihm, Lasalle, Bradley, Thomas, Rencher

Pretty similar to yours except ....
Mihm or Thomas (I keep going back and forth) for Bamba.
Rencher for Jordan Hamilton.Agree with these also, especially regarding Mo. I don’t see a way he makes the team
-
First, when I search @ derka I wish it would link to whichever account you’re on.
Second, I think you mostly nailed it except I would put DJ or AJ in the starting 5 to provide a little more shooting. I prolly move TT to the bench, put LMA at the 5 and bring one of those guards in. I also would drop Damion, Mo, or Hamilton to make space for DJ before I would drop Ivey.

It's funny that you claim antisemitism on no proof.
Strange, why would you do that?
It’s truly amazing the hills you choose...

Because then you can keep the electoral college, which for some reason people think is necessary, and still get the benefits of a popular vote. It's the best of both worlds! I heat up the ice cubes!

4-0-0 (with a win over tottenham)
international break.
0-3-1
international break
3-1-1 (with wins over chelsea and leicester)
the arsenal match this weekend is huge. they are beaten down and we can really benefit if we step on their throats.
on another note, is anyone else getting to a point where they find liverpool games are getting unwatchable because their players fucking have a conniption fit every single time a call doesn't go their way? ball goes out of bounds clearly for a corner? thirty dudes losing their minds like someone murdered their mom in front of them. every. single. fucking. play.
that is with the exception of mane. that dude is complete class and a total badass. won't root for that team but hard not to root for that dude. works his ass off, puts the stupid neymar shit that everyone else at liverpool seems to be infected with to the side, and kicks ass. guy is incredible.
also, any word on what jose was being a prick about to klopp at the end about? just classic jose?What games do you watch...
No shit lol

Do we not have subs worth bringing on?
Yea would have liked to see Ox for Jones even though Curtis has been pretty great today.

Seriously? How is that not hands? Fuck this league

That’s entirely on Rhys. Steps up to Kane but doesn’t challenge the header so then he’s just in no mans land
-
Oh but that’s a foul on Sadio. Fuck off with that shit

Did they change how VAR works? We’d have 4 more points this season (wins against Brighton and Everton) if they went with this quick check version.
That’s what my issue was. We took no fucking time at all there. Where was the little double line dotted line shit that fucks us outta goals every week lol.

Sadio gets kicked and pulled more than any player in the world.

Nice dive

No check huh

I guess Riley has to make the decision on two things:
- chemistry
- is getting a star this year instead of next worth losing a couple of good young pieces?
It's a tough call. Butler seems to have no issue deferring to other guys, which is a check in the "pros" column.
Obviously from a basketball perspective Harden should be a huge gain. Lots of moving pieces. And honestly I suspect the Rockets already have better offers on the table so it's probably moot anyway. The Heat can't trade Bam for 6 months even if they wanted to, which they don't.Bam should be the only guy on their roster that is untouchable

Fair. I just don't know that the chemistry issue risk is worth it. It's not always easy to put the toothpaste back in the tube. Chemistry can be a fragile thing. It may not be as easy as "Trade Harden and we'll revert back to 2020".
That’s fair.

Not yet but they will have room to add a max star next year. Even if they whiff on Giannis and (fuck) Kawhi, I'd rather have Beal on that squad than Harden. Not saying Beal is a better player, but taking Harden on is hugely risky when your team might currently have the best blue collar, junkyard dog, shared success chemistry in the league. And Beal plus Herro plus Duncan Robinson is probably > harden.
I don't see it as being worth it. Be patient, wait a year, sign a star that's a better fit long term. Use this year to develop your guys and get some more playoff experience.
Put simply:
- chance that Harden screws up chemistry: probably 50%
- chance that they win a title with Harden: 5-10% maybe?
That's a no from me dawgAgain you can still get one of those stars. Harden would be easily flippable in a sign and trade. And he gives you a chance to win now while Jimmy still has a window as a top end talent.
-
If you can get James Harden you get James Harden. The heat are winning nothing with the roster they have and if you are unwilling to give up Tyler Herro to get James Harden then you won’t be winning much. The Heat have a fine team but Harden makes them a legit contender for the title which frankly they aren’t right now.

Help me come up with the all-time UT hoops roster

I was doing like Derka as well. Like AJ makes the roster because every team needs a guy to run off screens and shoot every once in a while. Think NBA JJ Reddick.
The scenario you laid out is where a guy like Ivey comes into the roster. He can guard those bigger guards and small wings because off the length he had.
Also this is a ridiculous look at the talent we’ve had come through here. Like what’s the scoring breakdown. I mean like you said TJ’s line would be like 0, 16, 1 every night. KD and PJ getting looks from TJ. Yeesh.
