Took the raptors to 6 with 1.75 cause Klay was hurt. Is going to come off the bench? Like a better version of Lou will? Klay can play the 3 right 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got significantly younger and picking up another ball handler to reduce wear and tear of Steph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still need a scorer off the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Utah is a Finals contender. This has been the craziest NBA day ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think Cousins can last a whole season plus playoffs? I agree it's a contender. And I like Boogie a lot, just wondering if he can hold up.

Dr. Do Itch Big Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 DLo is 6’5. I’m liking this signing more. He isn’t KD but this is a great team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 The question for golden state is can they play Steph D-Lo, and Klay at the same time. Play them at the same time and win in the playoffs, I mean. If they can it’s a nice pick up for them, because it gives them a desperately needed second shot creator. Now they just need Kawhi NOT to sign with LA and they might get another title before it’s all said and done. Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Do Itch Big Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 They can all play at the same time. Curry and Klay have proven they can play off the ball. Russell is 23, I didn’t know he was so young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) Yeah and worse case is they have a 22/23yr old all star as an asset they could always flip for front court help if it doesn’t work out this year Did they resign Loony? He is their future big if so and they would be in pretty decent shape. Losing KD hurts and they are clearly worse without him but getting another shot creator that’s crazy young, athletic and also dropped 240+ 3s last year with a couple rotation bench guys is a damn solid move when just a few hours ago we thought they lost KD for nothing we’ve seen how unselfish curry and Klay are. They’ll make sure he fits and Kerr can figure it out too. Curious to see what else they do with their roster given they’ve lost Iggy and will lose Livingston too Edited July 1, 2019 by Momma There Goes That Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Their defense is going to suck though, and it will prevent them from winning a championship unless they can bring in forwards and bigs to fix it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I didn't think Durant would leave Golden State, but I'm so glad I was wrong. That team was a nightmare for the competitive balance of the NBA. But Kawhi could easily ruin it all over again by signing with the Lakers. The NBA is never going to be able to get past super teams running the league until they hard cap payrolls and abolish max contracts. And even then it wouldn't be certain. But it'd be far more difficult to build one than it is now. Do you guys remember Kevin Love? That's an All Star caliber big waiting in the trash can for someone to dig out. Wonder where he's going to end up? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Philly needlessly squandered assets, but I actually don't hate where they've landed. Getting Horford and Thybulle and Josh Richardson is a pretty nice way to recover from losing Redick and Butler. This team is deeper than they were last year, while sacrificing little in top end talent. Their defensive foundation is awesome and they have the right kind of scoring throughout rotation. They also won by weakening Boston, and having Milwaukee lose Brogdon without finding an immediate replacement. If Toronto loses Kawhi, then Philly becomes the clear favorite in the conference. I think they could win 60 games next year. I think there is a really good chance that Embiid wins MVP and Simmons wins MIP. And I think we could get a Utah vs Philly Final. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justice98 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) Something about Philly makes me skeptical they'll win anything soon, regardless of the talent on paper. They find a way to be underwhelming. Might just be Embiid and Simmons are still so young. I dont know when that light bulb is gonna go off and they put it all together to be champions. But I haven't seen it yet. Horford will be big for them. But Philly vs Brooklyn in the East would look very interesting in a couple years, if not for KD's achilles. I'm on record with my feelings on expecting too much with him. This might be the most entertaining year in recent memory. I never bought the "Warriors ruined the league" narrative, but it does seem more wide open. They got to 5 Finals, but only won 3, and were perilously close to only winning one. It was closer than people wanna give it credit for. Teams 3 through, say, 6 or 7 in the league are a more compelling watch. With PHI, Toronto, Utah, LA, Den, Milwaukee, whatever Brooklyn's gonna be, Portland, Hou, OKC. Should be an entertaining season. And Kawhi hasnt even made a decision yet. But my guess is he stays in Toronto. Cant see him going to the LA, for either team. Edited July 1, 2019 by justice98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
