Quote from: wadesworld on January 06, 2025, 03:41:17 PMTurns out 5'9" guards who don't even pretend to be interested in defense don't really help you win titles.  And 35 footers are fun to see go in, but when you shoot them regularly they're not really efficient shots.

It's not just that. He's actually been better than I expected this season on defense. For the whole thing to work at its best, Giannis needed to be a much better screener/roll man than he has been. Since that hasn't been effective, it's a lot of "my turn, your turn" and the offense grinds.

Sounds like some rec leaguers I know except the my turn, your turn part
Maybe. But will Creighton and St. John's?
They look like the class of league right now. Have not seen Johnnies play, but Creighton looks awesome.

Why are you quoting a post about Dame and commenting about Trae Young?

Quote from: MU82 on January 06, 2025, 01:43:58 PMGame is Wednesday (ESPN, 7 ET). Your Cavs are damn good, too!

Well, that was fun. Cavs take round one by seven. Great game. Seven Cavs in double figures. Both big men with double-doubles. Mitchell has one of his worst games of the season, but Cavs win anyway.

Brunson with 7 free throws 8 minutes into the game. He's peak Harden.

Bradley power sawing Indiana State.

Well, that was less fun. Thunder dominate Cavs by 20 to take round two (and it wasn't nearly that close). Horrible game.

OKC was down two bigs, too, making their win all the more impressive against a Cleveland team with talented tall guys.

But I'm not sure mid-January NBA games tell us much of anything. (Nor did you suggest they do.)

If I'm not mistaken, we are a week out (or so) from the trade deadline in the NBA; who do the Bulls move? LaVine and Vucevic have been on the trade bock since the summer, but I'm not sure if any team wants them.

Ball is interesting option to move. They would be smart to get something for him before he gets injured again.

Lavine has played well enough where he's not a complete anchor in a trade. But the Bulls have not been able to pick a lane

The Bulls have not accepted reality of the FMV of its players.  If they do end up as sellers, they have players who could move the needle for playoff teams. LaVine would be a terrific 3rd option for a good team.

The Bull's FO is a mess like the Bears. After signing Pat Williams for $90M a few months ago, apparently he is io the trading block also. :o

I think(?) JR will fire people if the Bulls lose their 1st round pick to SA if they end up outside the top 10 of the draft.

Hopefully Beal bails Horst out and does not waive his no trade clause in any deal to Milwaukee. No idea why the Bucks are so enamored with Beal, especially once they got Dame.

That contract would be awful. Only way it makes sense is getting a boatload of picks with it.

And then you'd DEFINITELY have to fire Horst, because him making all the picks you'd get...yuck.

But don't think we'd be getting anything.
