Around the NBA: December to Remember 2018

No truth to the rumor the Grizzlies thought they were signing Philip Rivers

 

I can't believe how much better Kuzma and John Collins are than Zach.

 

This post won't age well in a few years lol. We could have had Zach AND Kuzma but instead took Swanigan ugh.

 

Bit early to be worrying about that. Unless you want to go the other way as well. Teams would be saying rather have Zach than Frank Ntilikina and Josh Jackson based on performance.

 

We messed up.

Whoop dee doo. We're not as incompetent as Phil Jackson's Knicks -- that's a low bar you're setting.

 

I'm enjoying this Laker swoon. Allowed so many straight line drives to Jared Dudley's old ass in the fourth quarter.

We're a half game behind them for HCA. This west, man

 

I not seeing that we messed up. You swap the Collins' boys and you are going to also swap their production. Except Zach will still play some D for the lowly Hawks.

 

Is it a coincidence that Nets have beat Hawks, Wizards and Lakers since Allen Crabbe went down with a knee injury?

 

I guess it should be noted that they beat the Raptors, 76 ers and Knicks right before that while they had Crabbe.

 

Nets just won

 

Well speaking of the Lakers, time to start the AD to LA rumors if they haven't started already. Below is an excerpt from the link provided (http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/25569005/los-angeles-lakers-getting-anthony-davis-amazing)

NEW YORK -- Ahead of Anthony Davis and the New Orleans Pelicans visiting the Los Angeles Lakers for the first time this season on Friday, LeBron Jamesopenly pondered what having the All-Star forward as a permanent resident alongside him in purple and gold at Staples Center would be like.

"That would be amazing," James told ESPN on Tuesday before the Lakers' 115-110 loss to the Brooklyn Nets. "That would be amazing, like, duh. That would be incredible."

 

Kuzma was a big steal we should pick him at #26 Swanigan

 

I see Boogie going to the Lakers. Just a wild ass guess!

 

I can't believe it either. Mainly because I don't think it's true.

 

John is like the opposite of Zach, good on offense needs to work on his defense. Who has the better career I think will be based off of who can become consistent on the end of the floor they struggle on.
I dont think Kuzma is better than Zach, he’s flashy here and there but thats about it to me.

 

When John came out of school he was already a player, while Zach was a project. In fairness, I don't think Olshey was the only one who saw John as lower risk and Zach as higher reward. Honestly, I keep waffling over whether Zach was over-rated or Stotts is just doing a poor job developing him.

 

Don’t worry no one will ever mention that one when they talk about players PDX missed out on

 

The kid just turned 21, big men take longer to develop in the nba. Some more experience and muscle and hes gonna be a BEAST.

 

Everyone here we should drafted Kuzma. But kuzma wasn't on anyone radar except the Lakers. I was hoping to draft Hart instead of Swanigan thou.
