Official 2016-2017 NBA Season Thread - NBA rules Chris Bosh has a career ending injury

[osh kosh bosh]

Random argument I was having...


Who is more athletic

Kristaps Porzingis or Joel Embiid?



IMO It's Kristaps easy.

 

[a-friend]

o/u 7posts before that turns into a debate about the definition of Athletic instead of Kris vs Joel

 

[carver]

What assets do the Warriors even have they'd be willing to give up for anything worth it in return?

Edit: Also I just realized how funny it is that im even asking this question 2 weeks into the season.

Klay

Embiid especially considering how much heavier he is.

Embiid especially considering how much heavier he is.

Even when Embiid was lighter in college I never though he was THAT bouncy, freakishly coordinated? Yes.

People were comparing him to Olajuwan and I'm like he's not as explosive as prime Olajuwan.

Wait. Klay really?

I'd think no matter how badly the Warriors under perform this season the big 4 is untouchable.

Edit: Yeah, there's no way they'd trade Klay. I disagree.

They go from chip, to finals loss, to say not even making the finals this season AFTER acquiring KD some heads are going to roll. Klay would likely be the odd man out.

Drake know the beige boy stock is going down with Steph and Klay's performances early in the season.

Ohh, no i was talking about before this season's trade deadline. I could see it further down the road if that were the case.

Embiid was already bigger than Hakeem while he was in college, they not even comparable in size now.

Hakeem was 6'10 230-240, he's listed at 7' 255 but that's obviously off, just look at him next to any true 7 footers.

He's definitely faster and more explosive than Kristaps in my opinion, strength is also a factor in athleticism and he has him beat there.


Kristaps is just really long and good at putbacks, his first step isn't touching Jo Jo.


Dude is playing with his head above the rim at 7'2 260 easily especially on defense.

I just watched Embiid dance that transitioned into the most casual windmill I've ever seen in my life.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Go watch Krispy's putback dunks again. As far as leaping ability he def has embiid beat and of course we all know athleticism is nothing but jumping up and down

BIG LEEMELONE the number was 63, wasn't it.

Pretty sure it was 62. I'll have to check. Thought I remembered you saying 62 is a tie.

Durant gonna leave if they don't win it all though.

 

[Based Jesus]

Bron didnt. At least not at first because he knew there was nowhere else to go.

 

[nick.]

Gordon Hayward byke tomorrow

 

[IATT]

Klay or Iggy

Who would trade for iggy and give the warriors what they need?

His value is greatest around those shooters where he can play defense and rebound and play bigger than his size if needed.. but dude is getting older and got miles

Lebron took on the villain role though.

Durant ain't about that life

Not even close bro

Agreed. He's a fine athlete but I wouldn't call him a super freak. He looks like he has a 30 inch vert

KD going to play for the Spurs if GSW don't win a ring this year.

It's early but Iggy looks washed, KD is a good enough defender along with Klay and Dray, they def need rim protection in the worst way. They need to acquire Noel somehow.

Was going to respond but then I saw the name.


Carry on man.
