You already have Simmons to handle the ball, and he can't shoot. Embiid can but he's a big man and he's still in the lane. Fultz can't shoot, Butler can't also. It would be a cluster !@#$ in the lane with no spacing. Chicago tried this already and it didn't work, granted not as talented players, but with Butler, Rose, or Butler, Wade, Rondo, with Noah and whoever, the European has been an upgrade. But they still lacked shooters to space the floor. Just my opinion. Butler could help them defensively, but he seems too expensive given his skillset. I wouldn't want my team wasting a max contract slot on a guy who is only excellent at defense and limited offensively. I hope he goes to Miami so we can completely see the rerun disaster that was Chicago a couple years ago.

billsfan89 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 On 9/17/2018 at 3:11 PM, 26CornerBlitz said: I honestly wouldn't mind it. Anything that gets KD out of Golden State is good for the league. The Warriors passe dominance of the league is bad for the NBA in my opinion. I know the ratings went down the first year Durant went to the Warriors but they went up last year so I don't think that ratings wise or business wise it makes much of a difference but I think personally having one team be so above and beyond better than the rest just makes the whole thing an exercise in futility. Give the Warriors their 4th and Durant their 3rd rings this year. Then lets see if Durant can go to the Lakers and win some and lets see if the Warriors original big 3 can win another one on their own. I still think Golden State would be title contenders without Durant and Boogie but they would be a normal beatable contender. I really have not enjoyed watching the NBA the past 2 years because I knew the Warriors would win if they didn't sustain injuries. It was just all too predictable. Even in the Rockets series when they got down I knew the Warriors would pull it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did it become common place to tuck the ball like a football and run to the basket without traveling? you are allowed: 1) dribble and step simultaneously (dribble right hand, step left) 2) a step (step right) 3) plant and hop off the other foot (plant left and take off) when done properly, most people watching scream this is traveling not to say that the league doesn't mind an extra step to allow a dunk, creativity is rewarded and an extra step has always been given if in motion you catch and attack the rim without dribbling the ball.

People say this but really what was so interesting about it? It’s like the people who clamor for defensive battles in the NFL, then look at a game that’s 12-9 and say “wow what boring game, both of those offenses suck.” It’s a meme thing. No one actually wants a defensive battle. Give me the Pats - Chiefs prime time game over the Bill-Titans game any day of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly believe that they are going to be the 2nd best team in the west. They are scoring 140 points a night!! It won’t keep up at that pace but they are the Steve Nash Suns. Since Boogie’s injury last year they are the highest scoring team in the league. They added Randle, Payton and have a whole season of Mirotic. Additionally, they have room to add a max player (or can) next offseason. Davis is also eligible for the super-max. I put the chances of him leaving in the next 5 years at like 10% max. That narrative has been blown out of proportion by Paul Pierce and the ESPN goon-squad. I’m still close with a lot of people over there and they all laugh at the notion that he is going anywhere.

Never apologize to Celtic fans for a critical comment. Rejoice in taking a shot when given an opportunity. They are immune from criticisms because they are too absorbed with their own blather from their fading memories of the Russell and Havelicheck days. The old school chowder heads were insufferable. Do you know where I would have liked to have shoved Red Auerbach's cigar when he lit up on the bench? Hint: It's a lower aperture that is smelly.
