    RipCityDSCPL Could be worse, at least it's not Lonzo.

    It's pointless King. I had the same discussion about Crabbe you are having now with those two last Saturday night.

    I'm just so unhappy, teams in our division/conference continue to improve while we fester in the shit that is our 2016 free agents. I honestly don't even know if we can reach the 8 seed this season.

    [Insert a different shitty NBA scrub then].

    I never said Balmer was a GM... I was using it as a metaphor to you getting overexcited anytime one of our role players does something good and overrating them accordingly.

    Present your ankles for me to break, please.

    I wouldn't be doubling over the ball like Aminu, that's for sure.

    Who have I overrated? I haven't said Aminu is an All Star but you criminally underrate him.

    You criminally overate him if you think he's even close to being a good NBA player.

    Thanks. I'm just saying I don't mind the guys we have. I have no idea how we'll match up next year with all the player movement but I do think we have a legit big3 and our role players are decent. I like the rookies too.

    The post I responded of Kings was referring to steals, which I thought was about Crabbe or did I miss something?

    Good role players are two-way players, lockdown defenders, or multifaceted players.

    None of our role players are any of those things.

    All 30 NBA coaches would disagree with you. Even Kerr said his goal in playoffs was to "stop guys like Aminu from going off" and then he still went off. Also, Aminu personally won 2 games for us in 2016 playoffs by draining a high percentage of shots that were being conceded to him. You need guys like that in playoffs who will step and hit shots when your starters are being shut down.

    Clippers talking to Gallinari. It's tough in West but I still think Clips could be a decent team built around Griffin IF he stays healthy.

    They gave a good frontcourt and a desirable market, they will be fine.

    Yay, in two games, Aminu hit shots he was being dared to shoot! Good player, he is!

    Let's talk about the other games that series... Oh, that's right, you cherry-pick small sample sizes.

    Aminu "went off" in exactly one game in which we were down 30 in the first.

    If you rely think that Kerr seriously game planned against Aminu's offense going into the playoffs, then you're absolutely delusional.
