Whoa...first of all, San Antonio isn't South Texas, especially to Texans. Secondly, we knew LA had issues last year. But he and Pop 'fixed' it. Having said that, he's kind of what the Blazers are missing right now. And heck, if the Spurs can move him then they need to Also, Texas Poison Control Services divides the state into 6 regions. And it looks like they've got some work to do, cuz things seem REAL poisonous in South Texas!Are you sure the Texas Poison Control Service is a reliable source? Because there's a mod in this fourum that's from South Texas

I meant Aldridge would help them take another step. But he and Nurkic would clog things up completely

I'm too young to have remembered. But just crazy me to that MJ RETIRED(for the 2nd time) at 34 after playing all 82 games and averaging almost 29ppg.

Jerry Krause refused to guarantee money for Scottie and Phil, plus the lockout was looming, so MJ hung em up (again). For the 2nd three-peat, MJ had finally developed a reliable 3pt-shot and his game completely changed. He was pulling up for jumpers more instead of drives, but he was also crashing the boards more for rebounds. I believe at one point during the playoffs, he lead the team in PPG, SPG, and RPG. It was like a new Jordan, and it was a joy to watch.

It’s crazy how much conditioning has changed in the league. Back then 35/36 you were in your last legs now a days it’s just entering the final stage of your careers and should have 4-6 season left in you It also shows how dominate Jordan was when you think about it

If anyone hasn't had a chance to read the SI article in the current issue about D'Antoni, it is FANTASTIC. It really gives you a good understanding what he's always tried to accomplish and why the Rockets are so successful this year. It's really going to change the game, given their recent success. I have a little bit more respect for Mikey D now.

The fact that he was able to adapt his game that drastically also shows his greatness.

Not a fan of his also but one would have to think after winning COY someone’s gonna make him an offer Btw Stevens not even getting a vote for COY is pure BS.

I mean, the Raptors two best players aren't even top 10 guys in the league. Derozan is barely top 5 depending on whether Devin Booker is completely healthy PG: Russ, Curry, Kyrie, Wall, Paul, Lillard(no order but probably close) SG: Harden, Klay, Butler, PG13, Derozan, Booker Also Lowry may not be a top 10 point guard next year depending on what Kemba and Conley do next year. Pretty arguable that Kemba is better than Lowry. Casey not playing Jonas V late in games made zero sense to me.

I'm in love with this current Celtics team I'll go ahead and say it. The only missing pick is a rebounding shot blocking big. I don't want to say it but I'm starting to think we should offer Irving for Anthony Davis. They should but they would have to add more. NO not doing it straight up.

The fact that he was able to adapt his game that drastically also shows his greatness. The great players are always working to add to their game. This is why I always admired Dirk. He came back just about every season with something new to his repertoire. Yao also did this. Shaq, Kobe, LeBron, Wade, etc. My favorite MJ story is one that I heard from Scott Hastings. He said that when MJ was a young dunker-slasher, they played the Bucks and he couldn't get off. He went to his coaches afterwards and said he couldn't figure out what was wrong. Why couldn't he get the buckets that he was so used to? The coach told him that the Bucks put Sidney Moncreif on him (one of the best perimeter defenders of that time). The coach said, Moncreif was taking away the drive and forcing you to hit the mid-range jumper. "You can't make the mid-range jumper!" After that, Jordan stayed late at every practice that season working on his jumper. We all know how that turned out.

My point was that firing Casey made no sense..their roster is simply not good enough to ever get past the second round. And their two best players lose their balls in the playoffs. They need to move on from Lowry as soon as they can. Derozan can't be a #1 on a championship team. And absolutely Stevens not getting a vote is ridiculous.

Started a my GM in 2k with the Kings. I still have 2k17 so I used the 2018 roster, and used the 2019 draft class.
First thing the owner wanted me to do was Trade Z-Bo so Harry Giles could get a lot of run. Which he did.
I traded him to Minny for Zach Lavine and someone else I don't remember. Then I signed Ty Lawson and Jared Sullinger and traded away Kosta Koufous. I also traded for Wayne Ellington. I really need to look at all the details but somehow I ended up with an extra 1st round pick.
SAC already had two first round picks(Fox and Jackson in real life). I ended up having the worst record in the league and whoever I got the other pick from has the 2nd to worst(pretty sure it was NOP). I ended up with 3 lotto picks(1, 2, and 9)
Boston offered me Taum AND Brown for my top 2 picks, but that's not fun. I took RJ Barrett and some dude named Langford.
Vince Carter barely played and kept causing crap asking for harder practices. The dudes playing all the time complained that practices were too hard. I ended up trading VC's 2 year deal for a future 2nd round pick.
My current roster roughly looks like this: PG: Fox(82), Hield(81) SG: Lavine(81), Langford(77) SF: Bogdonovic(83), Barrett(79) PF: Labisserie(78), Giles(76) C: WCS(77), some ishty player.
Eventually I'll trade one of year 2's rookies for somebody else. But all of my guys are on rooke contracts except Bogdon who's only making $8M a year. Tried to sign CP3 since he was the only good FA, but he re-signed with the Rockets.
Owner wants playoffs within three years. Things are looking good

Got KD to sign with my team in myGM
The team morale absolutely sucks overall. Everyone wants to start. Main problem is that I have a 3 man log jam of talented PF's and a 3 man log jam of good SG's. None of them would be good enough C's to start overall Cauley-Stein, and none of the SG's are good enough to start over Fox.
Also, we're like 3-7 through ten games. This KD experiment isn't going well. Traded Bogdonovic to make cap room to sign him which made sense.

What times the draft lottery? If Boston ends up with a top 3 pick again I may have to go to the hospital because I would have a boner for 4+ hours.
