How is the Nerd Herd doing? I took a self imposed break from this beautiful place. Was so blown away by the transactions of the last few months, I needed some much needed rest. Having a great summer with the family and decided it was time to bring back the heat. Denny, I'm surprised this site stayed up and running while the MVP was away.........especially after reading some of these ROOKS posts. What has happened around here? The inmates are now running the asylum? Guys with under 1000 posts actually starting threads and the vets are replying. Well the sheriff is back! Prepare yourselves........ Time to drop some knowledge!
Which player are you personally going to miss the most? Which player was the most fun on the team plane? What do you think of the new players?
-Nic was my boy! On a personal level I'll miss Batum, Blake and Freeland the most -The player that was most fun is still around. Kaman is a nut job! Very cool! Meyers and Freeland also were always fun to be around. Can you list our current roster and I'll answer question #3.
I can't be the only one who looked at that list and totally forgot that Mike Miller was traded to the Blazers. I thought they waived him?
I'll go alphabetically....... Alexander ? Aminu- Never been a big fan, but we'll see. Not a good outside shooter, but very active out on the wings. Cant really give it to him in the post or iso situation. He'll have to get his buckets by being active. Garbage type points. Connaughton- Athleticism has me intrigued. But you could have said the same thing about Barton and many many more. Allen Crabbe- Think he will play a bigger part this season than anybody expects. Going to get ALOT of minutes. Diez ? Frazier- Our back up PG right. Bring him in to hopefully play that Patty Mills role. Harkless- Another athlete I hope gets out on the wings on the break. Don't know anything else about him. Curious why he didn't get any run with a sorry ass Orlando team. Henderson- Actually always liked his game. Very smart. Perfect situation would be instant offense off the bench, but think he will get starter type minutes with us. Probably give us 14 a game and thats it. Kaman- Perfect for a contender. Love that he is a player/coach type on the bench and in the locker room. His contract and vet ability will become very valuable come trading deadline. Meyers- Really surprised me at the end of last season! Always had the potential, maybe we set it show up this season. Ability to stretch the floor will REALLY help out Dame! Maybe our best outside shooter other than AC! Dame- Think he will see a TON of double/triple teams from opposing players. Other coach will say trap him and let ANYBODY else shoot. Will miss those LA double teams that used to open things up. Knows nothing but 110%........... he'll bring it every night. CJ- Last 6 weeks really stepped his game up. So heady and can flat out score on anybody. Very excited to see him take his game to the next level. Miller ? Montero ? Plumlee -Confused on which one we got. Pressey- Heard he has mad hops. Vonleh- Young, strong, raw and YOUNG! Reminds me of a more athletic YOUNG ZBO. Excited to see him out there! =18 wins..........
Thats right! Very athletic. No real post game to speak of though. Sure seems like the best option is for Dame or CJ to jack 3s and let our other four guys just crash the boards. If you really look we might be one of the most athletic teams in the league. That doesn't equal Ws, but will make the Ls a little more fun to watch!
Ben Simmons all day every day. Think he went to LSU. Pretty weak draft actually. The Diallo kid going to Kansas reminds me of KG actually. Those 2!
HCP, is it true that LMA demanded that you go to the Spurs with him? What kind of offer did Pops make to you?
