Holy ****. Okay. Enjoy la la land where the streams are filled with Dr. Pepper and the roads are paved with gold.

You don't think height matters for defense?

So the Wiz get Kelly Oubre by giving up 2 picks they would have sold anyways. Thats awesome. High rosk/high reward.

Sith a 7-2 wingspan, Oubre should be perfect 3 and D guy. Maybe play some stretch 4. Him and Otto are so long!

Excellent build of a player to select with a PG like wall. Get a bunch of live ball turnovers and ryn!

Except he's going to Washington.

For two second rounders?

They must really like Hunter, the local kid.

Why is that the question when I said going small is bad for defense?

I like Hunter too. Just prefer the taller/linger guy. Didnt think the Wiz had a dhot at Oubre

Thunder aren't small when they go small. That's the point.

Love Washington getting Ariza Jr. back. They might need to replace Paul Pearce.

 

[Heyward]

I agree. I was mostly commenting on how I don't like playing Payne and Russ together.

I like the Payne pick. OKC hasn't had a good backup PG in forever. Payne is everything that Reggie never wanted to be.

Reggie was fine until this year where he got too ego driven.

They did need another floor general though.

You are playing two point guards and while Ibaka is a great rim protector he's not a true center. You would be murdered by any pick and roll offense.

Good pick for the Wiz with Oubre though, if they let Pierce go, Otto, Oubre and Beal, FA is a good wing rotation.

Ibaka's one of the best pick and roll bigs in the league.

Hawks are doing Washington a favor here. You don't trade within your division for two future second round picks. Washington gets the better player in this deal. Atlanta is trending in the wrong direction already.

If that's the case, just draft the player you want when it's your pick.

This screams of cheap ownership not wanting to pay for the 15th pick.

 

[gilesfan]

West/payne is not good defensivley. He also talks like Rickey Henderson

Or proper maximization of their assets which is brilliant management.

You can't ever switch when you don't have any length. That's the advantage GS had and why they were effective in almost any lineup.

The thunder would have excellent length on the floor.

 

[gilesfan]

Perfect fit for Houston. Replaces Parsons.

 

[gilesfan]

Lol. Now Hawks trading for Hardaway. What the hell?

 

[thethe]

Yeah, another live offensive player for Harden. Solid move.
