[amitt5504]

Im not gonna choose violence today so I’ll let you have this one

 

[JD617]

Light years?

 

[tomdiginson]

NFL paying Brandon Marshall under the table to talk this foolishness.

there’s nothing to argue though. One guy is in the gym in the off-season and it’s showing.

My guy in the gym too. Cant be a lock down defender playing 2K

 

[HIM]

Steph’s selfish style of play doesn’t allow for the team to be good while he’s on the bench.

he’s going to the gym to work on defensive slides? Closing out on ghosts?

 

[lawdog1]

So who is Trae going ahead of that list?

Working on that eye-hand coordination with tennis balls

 

[Coupé It]

All someone needed to do was show Brandon Marshall a picture of this guy and the debate would have ended.

 

[ill steelo]

So who is Trae going ahead of that list?

Ben Simmons, SGA.

You’re gonna talk to me about Ben’s defense when he’s gonna go out there and give you 8 points in 40 minutes in at least 2 games in the 2nd round.

He’s not bothering any elite offensive player enough to come close to canceling that out.

 

[amitt5504]

Now all of a sudden defense doesn’t matter lol

 

[lawdog1]

If someone tells Marshall about NBA buy outs and stretch players, etc., his head might explode.

 

[Coupé It]

Ben Simmons, SGA.

You’re gonna talk to me about Ben’s defense when he’s gonna go out there and give you 8 points in 40 minutes in at least 2 games in the 2nd round.

I’m not gonna talk about Ben’s defense, no. You’re talking to the wrong person.

I was legitimately asking. I could get down with Trae replacing Simmons.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Now all of a sudden defense doesn’t matter lol

Ben Simmons' defense gonna win you a playoff series?

 

[ballinsam23]

Trae carrying a team to the playoffs and the whole squad been in and out of the lineup.

Not at all. That team was close to 10 games under .500 until Gallo, Bogdan came back into the lineup consistently. Now they had Lou for a couple of games which they won too.

He had Capela and last years core most of the time.

 

[amitt5504]

Not speaking in absolutes but it definitely can

 

[ballinsam23]

Ben Simmons is a 6’10 Elfrid Payton.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Not at all. That team was close to 10 games under .500 until Gallo, Bogdan came back into the lineup consistently. Now they had Lou for a couple of games which they won too.

He had Capela and last years core most of the time.

we are saying the same thing. Guys been in and out the lineup and they had a coaching change. Here they are in 4th.

 

[HOU$TON]

SGA is better than Simmons and Mitchell. Maybe booker as well

 

[addict4sneakers]

Going to need to see another year of Lamelo before I rank him that high. The league figures PGs out the second year.

he’s the goods though for sure.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Aint Mitchell like 28?

 

[rolaholic]

CTE doing a number on my guy

Love I Am Athlete but he always gets worked up too easily, stays being loud and wrong often

 

[WASHED KING]

Thoughts?

Lamelo #1. Been telling y’all.
