Official Around the NBA October/November 2016

Parker was the #2 pick just two years ago. I don't think they'd give him up for anything short of another young star. That means CJ. Since they have Giannis at the point, they can run CJ at the two, and I think Parker/Monroe would work money wise, but right now he's a PPP so it's basically impossible to deal him.

My understanding, and I might be wrong, is that we would have to deal CJ to Milwaukee for Parker/Monroe, and then $18 million in salary to someone else without really getting anything in return. It's just not really possible. Would have to wait until next summer to deal CJ.

With that said, I don't think it's worth dealing CJ for Parker, and they wouldn't accept Crabbe. About the only player I would deal CJ for is Boogie.

 

They have too many bigs already and I bet you they would much rather keep Monroe on $16M for one more year than absorb the contract of Leonard for example. They will not give us Jabari, they tanked for a season in order to get him, they want him there.

 

I'm not so sure on that. From what I see, the Bucks really could use Meyer's outside shooting.

 

Our broadcast crew said Lillard is shooting 72% at the rim. Is there any way to confirm this, and compare it to his total last year?

 

Sure, basketball-reference lists shooting percentages by distance. Dame is now up to .732 from 0 - 2 feet this year, compared to .546 for last year.

He's also attempting a more of his shots at the rim this year. Last year only 26% of his FGAs were within 0 - 2 feet. That's up to 36.6% this season. That works out to 7.36 shots at the rim per game this season vs. 5.12 shots at the rim per game last season.

So, both his volume and efficiency are up - and that's always an impressive accomplishment.

Come on, that's literally all he offers now and they have a better outside shooter in Teletovic. Their biggest gripe with Monroe is that he cannot defend, Leonard is even worse.

 

Jahlil Okafor is so nice pls Neil pls.





Pls Neil Pls

 

He's amazing so far this season. This efficiency is all I wanted to ever see.

 

Nate's Pacers are the worst defensive team in the league.

 

Nate is the worst coach in pro basketball yeah? I mean I'm drunk right now but that's confirmed yeah? I'm sad only because he's not fuckung up a western conference team.

 

I wish this meant Paul George was available

 

I love me some Dame as much as the next guy, but I rather see him and our guys bring the championship trophy back home!

 

Perhaps soon.

 

The beat goes on...
How can you be 10-12 from the field and haul down 10 rebounds in 21 minutes and still be -4 when your team wins by 12?

guess who.

 

Boogie on the block, but Kings asking too much:

Strong personality..... like Damian mother fucking Lillard?

 

Curry sets a record tonight with 13 3 pointers in a game. I know he has started slow, but that is pretty impressive.

 

I needed Warriors -9.0 to close one accumulator and -11.5 to close another. Why did Pelicans ever think it was good idea to hit that three pointer at the end?
