Zimbra Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Dennis Schroeder took a $5M-ish one year deal with the Celtics after turning down a 4/$80 extension from the Lakers. Womp womp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond in the rough. He had some flashes of brilliance at the beginning but had a tough time adjusting when D's figured him out. He's going to be real good though once he adds a bit of muscle and doesn't get pushed around so much. He'll be a very good addition to the Raps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawful Metal Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Jalen Green and Alperan Sengun both outplayed Cade last night. They were double teaming Jalen in a *summer league* game. I already knew the Rockets had the best Rookie of the year, but I didn’t realize we had the best TWO rookies, with Garuba still incoming. Oh and KJ Martin beasting too. Most improved? (Yeah, I know it’s from the Cavs game but I never wanted Mobley) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimbra Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Ah, well, it's not like he's going to a job where he's already buddy-buddy with an owner with a history of overlooking toxic workplace conduct. Surely he's learned his lesson. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted August 11, 2021 Author Share Posted August 11, 2021 Udonis Haslem will return for his 19th(!) season in Miami. He'll get $2.6million. I'm so happy right now. I can't wait for him to punch Ben Simmons in the throat for breathing on Kyle Lowry incorrectly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 The Clips would know (though I guess their initial diagnosis is what started all of this). Plus, after KD's contract with the Nets, it doesn't seem teams care when it comes to the elite players coming off injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen, when you get a chance to sign a guy who will give you 9 minutes and 2.9 points a night to a multi-year deal, you gotta take it. I'm not sure how I had missed the fact that Giannis has not one, but two, brothers in the NBA. Maybe it's because he scores more points in one playoff series than they will - combined - in their entire careers*. * - Wrote that out just being funny but Giannis had 211 points in 6 games in the Finals. His two brothers have 248 points combined in their entire NBA careers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 They're all champions. If Udonis Haslem is getting that kind of money, you can guilt free give that money to big bro to keep Giannis happy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 To be fair to Thanasis, he actually is a fairly decent "hustle play" type. I mean, the reasons the Bucks in particular want him is mostly his brother, but he'd probably find a roster spot elsewhere if they hadn't re-signed him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Scoring depth. They were pretty limited beyond their big two and Jackson in the playoffs, meaning it was George and Reggie once Kawhi went down and you'd get the odd really good game of Morris. Bledsoe does one thing well and that's score. So long as they don't ask for more than that they'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, he's not the best at reading the game but it looked like he let the pressure get to him often with the Bucks and he'd make a lot of bad decisions. I don't think it's a good trade from a Clipper perspective but I could see why they'd do it. Trading one of the smartest players in the league in Rondo for Bledsoe is real interesting.
