Not quite for free: Brandan Wright's a solid complimentary player, and there are picks. But, asset-wise, it isn't much of a risk for Dallas—chemistry's another matter, though.

Regardless, it'll be great for Rondo, in terms of his next contract. He may average fifteen assists over the remainder of the season.

Wright is certainly ok, but easily replaceable. I don't put much value in late first round picks in the NBA

You were saying?

Perfect from three on six shots—including one that was a legitimate thirty-footer—en route to scoring 27 against the then-21-4 (now 21-5) Memphis Grizzles; they beneched Zach Randolph throughout the fourth-quarter because he couldn't matchup on defense. He's a rookie, but he has the benefit of entereing the league following a few years earning some big-time Euroleague minutes on a great Real Madrid team—he's going to be a great PF in the NBA, probably sooner than I anticipated prior to the season.

No, he's pretty good. Going to have to figure out how to not foul though

I think the excessive fouling is a result of cutting his teeth in the Euroleague, but his defense—generally speaking—has improved to a surprising extent in the first couple months with Thibodeau. I do think that area of his game will improve, though I don't think defense will ever be his strong suit—and it doesn't need to be, really, since he's already a solid rebounder and great shooter from range.
 
As far as Bulls rookies go, I'm much more concerned about McDermott: for a guy who was billed as being especially NBA-ready coming out of college, he's looked almost entirely lost.
 
Kobe Bryant is so bad these days.

The Lakers would have a few more wins this season if Kobe wasn't trying to hero-ball any close-and-late situation.

While true, if Tyson goes down, they're pretty much screwed.

They have next to nothing to replace him.
 
GF, could you please talk about how much Steven Adams sucks please? The last two guys that you questioned (Green/Mirotic) have had very good seasons.

That was predictable though. White dudes that aren't athletic have trouble in NBA unless they are a pure deadly shooter

When did I questionMirotic? You have an odd ability to have zero comprehension.

Not sure what u are even saying about Adams? He just had mediocre game vs a frontline of Hill and Ed Davis.
 
S far as green, of course he's playing well. He's an afterthought on offense for the other team.

I'm not saying he had a good game at all. I'm just asking you to criticize him more so he will start to be more productive. It worked well with Green/Mirotic/Butler.
