jaedmc Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Luol was a good dude. People thought he was a bust for several years, then he and Thibs got together and he got an All-Star game out of it. And several good contracts after that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimbra Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Never forget that Chicago's training staff almost killed him by having him get an unnecessary, botched spinal tap. Dude was a beast in college, had a long and profitable career, and apparently invested his money well so he pretty much won the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 It should also be noted that he did a lot of community and charity work. He and Noah were two guys that really stood out during that time period, trying to do good in Chicago. And he was always doing work back in Africa. It just seemed like he never stopped working on or off the court. That class of 2004 is a weird one. There's not many left from that group. Iggy, Dwight Howard, is JR Smith done? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimbra Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 He hasn't officially retired or anything but I also haven't heard of any interest in signing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 If you are counting the 2nd round too - Trevor Ariza is still around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that he thinks that, I just don't understand why. They have no cap space, having Beal is probably good enough to keep them out of the top five picks, and they really have any other significant assets.

You put in 72 million over 2 years in front of anyone and they'll convince themselves of anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Chinese government wanted Morey fired. Silver said not only is he not being fired, he will not be punished at all. Obviously he shouldn't be. Well, this is all going swimmingly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted October 18, 2019 Author Share Posted October 18, 2019 So NBA twitter is taking the Zion news with all the calm and level-headedness you would expect: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 That was the big worry with him, that his health - particularly his knees - would be the only thing that could stop him. I'm glad that the Pelicans are going to take their time with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 That's definitely the nightmare. 6'7", 285 with otherworldly athleticism... You have to worry about his knees and back holding up. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 And of course the Pelicans have one of the worst training staffs in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They overhauled their training staff in the offseason and hired away the guy that kept Steve Nash's back from falling apart in Phoenix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Then that was the best move they made this year, by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
