I’d love a GM like Ainge. Yes, the C’s flamed out this year. Something was wrong with their chemistry. I think Kyrie is likely to be out of there and was looking at the door the whole season. Still, I’d love a team that makes the playoffs each year and cuts bait when the writing’s on the wall. In short, you can only do better than Ainge did if you have excellent luck. Hayward’s injury is likely the story of this iteration of the team.

Meanwhile, we continue to throw four cards down in a game of five card stud…

suggesting how and why it’s very likely he’ll be more efficient if used properly

A first in the history of fan-site prognostication.

Mavs.com says Porzingis is good

Case closed y’all

More like Mavs.com is looking at the “details” of KP’s skillset and suggesting how and why it’s very likely he’ll be more efficient if used properly. And of course, it’s also considering his defense. The one thing it did not do is trust broken models that don’t include defense and that are incapable of teasing out individuals skills and whether the player has been used effectively(due to coaching, system, teammates, or low basketball IQ).

Yeah, I’m not down with CP3. Fuck Houston and Morey. Still haven’t forgiven him for the shit he pulled with Lin. He has no core.

Really not sure who would be willing to take CP3 with that contract. He was still pretty good last year, but his durability is a big issue and if he keeps declining rapidly he’s going to be a negative on the court in a year or two. Maybe they can try to get John Wall?

The thing with Ainge is he has an incredible resume but it’s almost entirely down to him being able to constantly make incredibly lopsided trades. You can’t deny him his due, but it doesn’t mean you’d pick him ahead of the other guys. You can’t keep banking on being able to find the dumbest person in the league and gouging him (although he does seem to be able to constantly do it).

I think Barrett is plenty quick and strong, but scoring at the rim is also about touch, and there’s no easy way to explain a guy who gets there but can’t finish.

Barrett shot a tick under 65% at the rim. At least in college he could finish. His thing is he can’t shoot.

Porzingis is good. How good is not certain. How he will come back from injury is a question too, but it shouldn’t blind to the fact that he is probably worth what Dallas paid.

Not sure about that KP article. Uses a lot of counting stats and weird, arbitrary cut-offs (lol@ making the RPG# > SIX(!) to get that Anthony Davis comparison in there) to make the case that Porzingis is one of the best players in the league. I agree with the author that he’ll likely get more catch and shoot opportunities playing with Luca and that should help his TS% somewhat. I wonder if he’ll ever be able to leverage his height in getting easier buckets around the rim though.
