Using the Celtics example, if they would have signed Durant; it was a wildly successful roster development. Without it, they are a pretty good mid to upper level East team. Same logic applies unless one of their young players turns into one of the top 10 players in the game.

The point is there are only two teams who have any chance of winning a title in the NBA. That makes for a very bad league from a competitive standpoint.
Bulls vs. Knicks is going to be awesome!
Wait, it's not 2010?

So happy The Legend is finally on the court.
Simmons getting hurt is unfair.
In other news, I know Tim Quarterman personally!
Forever Fredi
You banged him?
Can I give up on Beal yet or are people going to keep telling me how young he is and that he will be a star?

He's still a 40% three point shooter, who shoots 5 threes a game . I don't follow Washington enough to know his limitations, but that's a really solid base to build off of. Maybe not a star, but really valuable.
On the surface, Washington is weird. This is back to back years where they have regressed when convention wisdom would suggest an uptick. Hard to figure that team out.
Something just isn't right with the team. They have some young guys that are good players (or good talent) and some vets that are productive.....but, they can't win. I wish they would just blow it up, get some pieces for Wall/Beal while you can. Let Oubre learn on the fly with a couple young guys and take the high picks. This team as it is constructed has no chance at a title. Not without a superstar next to Wall.

Days like today make me miss thethe. I know he would be going on about how great Sabonis is.

If you think he's a top 10 center, you are still off your meds, bro.

How good is Embid?
If Simmons is good all of a sudden the 76ers are a team to be reckoned with in the future.

Embid is crazy talented. It's kinda interesting to see how inefficient he is for a big man though. He's been very high volume with tons of turnovers. Young though so I'm sure he will get much better.
They are far off though. Look at the Twolves and they are further ahead with better talent.

His true shooting percentage is at around .6 IIRC.
The turnovers IMO is just him getting used to the speed of the game but his talent is truly revolutionary. Its like Hakeem with a 3 point shot. I just hope he stays healthy.
The t-Wolves need a more dynamic PG. I was dead wrong about Rubio thats for sure.

Seems like a good time to rehash those Harden debates of yesteryear.
