2020-21 NBA Offseason thread: Officially a wrap

[N41D]

They’re not the most skilled players on the planet, but damn Lavar’s kids have an insane feel for the game and knack for finding a flow possession to possession.

If Melo can figure out the jumper, he’s got devastating potential.

LiAngelo got the short end though ..

Can't believe Im watching Lamelo instead of Zion.

Same. I believe the curiousity of Lamelo outweighs the hype around Zion at this point.

 

[pmatic]

Shroder should work fine with the Lakers, but I really wanted Malachi Flynn. At least I don't have to watch Danny Green brick open threes anymore.

Yeap ...

I wonder if when it's all said and done, if Zion was the best pick of his draft. That boy Ja is a beast .. I didn't even think he would translate.

Don't get me wrong Zion is a freak, but man ... unless he can get the weigh under control ... not sure if he could have a lengthy career.

Lamelo out here ballin

 

[wavycrocket]

Pelicans v Hornets....with Lonzo/Lamelo. Charlote/NO franchises relocation. And the Lamelo/Zion thing is must see tv.

NBA better get its marketing right.

I believe the weight will be a problem long term as well and he doesn't seem to be addressing it. I also think its something to that weird walk he has but I could just be reaching with that.

I don’t know if at the end it will matter. That Talen dude look crazy yesterday.

 

[jayt1202]

So no NBA league pass free preview at all this season?

 

[keko jones]

Lamelo fell to Jordan lap, we all know if it wasn't for that he would have ****** up the pick.

LoL

Hayward... that dude looking ...

 

[datznasty]

Adams is like 26 out here looking like Aussie Kendrick Perkins. Heat living at the rim as soon as he checks in

 

[osh kosh bosh]

This whole Lamelo is going to be horrible defender prediction I don't think will pan out.


well have to see how this goes over 82

but so far he's active, seems like he's in the right spots. getting some deflections...

 

[art vandelay]

just imagining MJ applying today’s training methods sans all the smoking, drinking, etc.

sheesh

With today’s training and advancement in sports medicine, even with the smoking and drinking, MJ could easily average a cool 30+

 

[Public Enemy]

Why is Steven Adams going up so weak today?

I think his problem was effort moreso than technique or IQ/feel.

BI just postered the Heat.

Hormones Gayward is sus.

Maaan tiny dog is something else.

He’s been like that for a few years now.

Yup.

Hes smart as hell. That take won’t pan out. Navigating ball screens and Not getting caught up + being stronger is where he’ll need to improve. But from a social awareness and positioning and rotation standpoint, he knows where to be.

 

[datznasty]

Why is Steven Adams going up so weak today?

He just isn't good. If he was from an African country instead of NZ, people would be asking about his birth certificate. He's open on rim runs and as a lob threat after setting screens every time and its like they have already learned not to even bother trying it

 

[ballinsam23]

Cavs got one with Okoro.
