>Coach Mike D'Antoni called Lou Williams the seventh man in the rotation.

>He also said Williams should be helping Eric Gordon, which suggests Lou will be passing more than he did in Los Angeles. Williams was carrying the Lakers' second unit with a 30.0 usage rate and also in the top 25 for unassisted baskets among the 170 players with at least 30 games and 24 minutes per outing. Williams is also a good catch-and-shoot guy at 39.6 percent on treys, so basically he can get his own shot and create his own. Plus, he's just behind fifth-ranked DeMarcus Cousins for fifth in free throws per 36 minutes to also be a great fit there. Williams' fantasy value will be taking a hit here, but he could still have some late-round appeal.

All indicators out of LA are that they - meaning magic - took the rockets deal because they liked Corey Brewer. The Wizards shipping out Nicholson and a first rounder for a worse player seems to confirm that.

Jesus christ, the Lakers might actually be fucked. Only reason not to take the better pick (washington's in this case) is because you like the stuff that comes with it (Corey Brewer).

>"Pairing him with AD should be really fun to watch," Holiday said. "It’s endless opportunity and possibility. I’m just excited to see what goes on tomorrow." While Holiday should get easier shots, he's almost certainly going to see both his scoring and assists drop. Cousins was flourishing as a passer this month with 7.6 assists per game with the Kings, and he's also unassisted 48.9 percent of the time this season. Holiday was red hot before the break, but his owners should expect him to be more of a mid-round guy now.

Still, this team could make some surprising moves.

>One example of so-called “foul play” is rather humorous and well-known among league circles. Years ago, an executive believed that he had the necessary pieces to acquire Amar’e Stoudemire from the Phoenix Suns. He wanted to trade for Stoudemire and then flip him to another team because he felt he could get more in return for Stoudemire than Phoenix could. He started calling teams to ask what they’d be willing to trade him if he could get Stoudemire. Well, he accidentally called the Suns and asked what they’d be willing to give up if he could acquire Stoudemire… from the Suns. He offered Phoenix their own player. Needless to say, that executive did not acquire Stoudemire.

>The Raptors are still in the market for a big small forward or a shooter, according to Josh Lewenberg of TSN.

>This has been pretty clear since the Serge Ibaka deal with the Raptors going for it. Sure, Norman Powell is capable of absorbing a good chunk of former Raptor Terrence Ross' minutes, but adding depth behind the oft-injured DeMarre Carroll makes sense. The Raptors have some serious depth at the point and also could use Sullinger's expiring deal to help get something done. Delon Wright looked great in his last week of action.

He also said the Pistons "love" him and do want to try to sign him as a restricted free agent this summer, but the team likely doesn't want to pay him close to max money. With teams like the Nets having a lot of cap space, Caldwell-Pope could get a monster deal a la Allen Crabbe. For now, it would be a surprise to see KCP be traded.

>76ers head coach said he'd like to see Ben Simmons take the court this season.

>Simmons was limited to individual work during Wednesday's practice, and he's scheduled to have another CT scan on Thursday. While Brown would like to see what he's got in the No. 1 overall pick, the 76ers are running out of time, and considering he's yet to go through any 5-on-5 work we can go ahead and assume he'll miss both games this weekend. The talent is there, but at this point, Simmons just isn't a great standard league stash.

The process may come earlier that expected...

>Teams around the league have reportedly been re-engaging with the 76ers on a Nerlens Noel trade.

>Adrian Wojnarowski reports that if the 76ers are unable to find a trade partner for Jahlil Okafor they will shift their focus to sending away Noel, but the biggest stumbling block here for a Noel deal is that he's about to be a restricted free agent. Teams reportedly want to know what it will cost to retain Noel as a free agent, and with Woj reporting that Noel is seeking a "big number," that may be enough to scare some teams away who don't have the cap room to re-sign him this offseason.

If you watch that interview with Jeanie on Spectrum with Magic. he is going to move Deng/Mozgov, it's just a question of when. He talked about seeing if Zubac can handle 30+ minutes at center, meaning Black would probably take the other 18. Maybe Black starts and Zubac finishes.

So Mozgov is done in LA. Maybe they buy him out? I'm looking at this NBA Salary Cap FAQ, looks like since it's past January 10th, his salary is guaranteed for this year but I don't know if anyone picks him off waivers.

Lol there's a lot more to basketball than playing league average defense at three positions, and only against certain matchups. He's an unmitigated disaster on offense if he does anything with a basketball other than immediately shoot it, and unless he's on a hot streak that's a bad outcome too. Beverley is significantly more versatile by virtue of actually being a plus defender, alongside his ability to shoot, finish at the rim, and distribute.

No one said that, most people here we convinced he'd average 14ppg this season. Clearly not happening at this point.

He's having a similar season to Dirk, except Ingram's usage is lower (Lou never passed).

So Post-ASG, we're going to really see what he's made of.

My only concern with ingiegram is his free throw shooting. He needs to get that up to at least 75% in the offseason.

The Lakers toss in the pick from Houston.

Don't see how Indiana says no since no other team will trade for PG13 because everyone knows he is signing with the Lakers in free agency anyway. Might as well get something for him instead of just letting him walk out that door.

A mediocre stretch 4. The wizards trade was a salary dump so we could sign Porter in the offseason. We also got rid of two players who were so bad they couldn't even find minutes on a bench that ranks in the bottom five in the league. We gained two players who will at the very least see minutes and one of which is on a rookie deal.

his contract is up after this season, he's been hurt all year, and he's a waste of a roster spot. can clear room for what will probably end up being a 2-player return for Okafor.

>>74340941

with how many assets they have, a smart GM could turn this team into contenders in a season or two.

But fuck they don't have hinkie anymore, I they keep doing stupid/pointless trades and signings and they let Okafor's trade stock plummet without getting anything for him so they'll probably end up ruining the whole thing and being mediocre.

>The Bulls have reportedly been shopping Nikola Mirotic in recent trade talks.

>Mirotic is a restricted free agent but the Bulls appear to have soured on him, and coach Fred Hoiberg hinted on Wednesday that Bobby Portis has leap-frogged him in the rotation. Mirotic could have interesting fantasy appeal in the right situation, but he's been maddeningly inconsistent as an NBA player. It's worth noting that he was an apparent DNP-CD on Feb. 16, the Bulls' final game before the break.

Sort of. The theory was they were a young team on the rise, so they wanted to keep their core together. A lot of this hype came from getting to the second round and winning 48 games, which, retrospectively, was mostly luck.

Most mistakes in this league come from misevaluation. In this case, the Blazers misevaluated their position.

That said, worst case scenario, Crabbe is on a tradable contract. He's a couple million overpaid, but he's not Evan Turner or anything.

>>74341210
>was there a point at which she and Magic fucked?
Absolutely.
>>
>>74340858
I'm thinking it'll be more like...

Pick 2 of Crowder/Brown/Smart/Bradley + Nets pick this year + either another first rounder, taking back some bad salary, something.

So deals can range from Crowder/Nets Pick/Brown/Salary Filler, which puts heavy emphasis on Crowder, as he's the best actual player Boston is sending, to Nets Pick/Future Celtics Pick/Smart/Bradley/Pick one of Rozier or taking back Monta Ellis/Salary Filler. This lets the celtics keep Crowder and set up a Crowder/George/Horford frontcourt, with Crowder defending 4's and bombing 3s as a crunchtime lineup. In exchange for keeping a good player, they give up a pick and maybe something else.

I think it'll likely be something in between those two extremes though. Say Nets Pick/Bradley/Brown/Celtics Pick.

here's a goddamn box score from march 2008 since you're being retarded too

http://basketball.realgm.com/ncaa/boxscore/2008-03-15/Stanford-at-UCLA/1411

and here is the depth chart

http://basketball.realgm.com/ncaa/conferences/Pacific-10-Conference/7/UCLA/241/Rosters/2008

One of Westbrook's knocking points was that he needed to develop into a point guard while in the NBA
>>
>>74343158
He was the back up PG and the starter the next year.
>>
>>74343180

>>74343193
Arron Afflalo was the starting shooting guard Westbrook's freshman year. Afflalo was first-team all American. Collison was the point guard. Afflalo graduated and Russ took over that shooting guard position.
>>
>>74343180
Says he was a guard and of course he got some playing time as a SG on rotations but he was clearly a PG, officially the starting PG in his last year, and every piece I've read about him in college and his past refers him as such.

You're splitting hairs on untrustworthy info on real GM which didn't exist in 2007.

The knock was he wasn't a "true" PG just like Rose but that was the new type of PG popular in college at the time since AI went to college.
>>
>>74343044
Don't even have to be undersized. See Harden, James.

>>74343250
I checked his Draftexpress profile to see what they said about him, and it looks like this was the main complaint, it seemed to come up a fair bit:

>Westbrook’s ball-handling skills are fairly limited, as he has the ability the beat players off the dribble with his tremendous first step going left or right, and is solid getting to the rim in a straight line, but he struggles when trying to do much more than that. He lacks the advanced dribbling skills needed to create his own shot and change directions sharply in the half-court (for example at the end of a shot clock), and thus often looks a bit out of control when dribbling in traffic, forcing him to flip up some awkward shots at the rim.

Interestingly, it looks like he's mostly the same player. He's improved in those areas, certainly, but a lot of his game is just murdering people with his first step.
>>
>>74343279
if you scroll down some more you see this:

>>It’s still not quite clear what position Westbrook will play in the NBA, even if it could probably be said that his upside is so high that he can just figure that out down the road. He lacks significant experience at the point guard position

the second part of this section talked about him being the next leandro barbosa and it's dead wrong so i left that out
>>
watching some ingram highlights on youtube rn
>>
>>74343285
Oh, I'm not the dude you were arguing with. I just thought it was interesting to see stuff like that.

This one made me laugh a little:

>Offensively, Westbrook’s biggest source of production (nearly 30% of his offense) curiously comes in transition.

It's honestly crazy how much his game has developed, but also stayed the exact same.
>>
>>74343296
how long is it 30 seconds?
>>
>>74343279
Funny enough Westbrook is now one of the best iso scorers in the NBA and over 90% of his FGs are unassisted this season.
>>
>UCLA’s system is doing a magnificent job of masking his weaknesses, since when you break down his skill-set individually, it’s quite clear that he has a lot of holes to his game. In addition to his poor ball-handling skills, his mid-range game is fairly poor, and he avoids using his left hand as much as possible. His jumper is still a bit of a question mark, and getting his range out to the NBA 3-point line will obviously take considerable work.

lmao

Ainge is pathetic. Boston fans give up, this guy is senile. People are literally refusing to talk with him because he's lowballed other GMs so bad.

He's not one of the best desu. He's good, but he iso's a bit too much and as such is a worse iso scorer than many of his peers with roughly equal volume.

That said, the majority of his ability to iso guys is beating people with his first step, or using fear of that first step to get an open jumper. Crazy how much more able to use his athleticism he has been in the NBA, and also crazy how it seems he's gotten more athletic.
>>
>>74343304
It is because it college he was so fast and athletic compared to others he could just gamble for steals and get endless break outs like when Team USA faces a yuro team.

Oh look its another statpadbabby.

Westbrook scores .87 points per iso. Worse than Melo, worse than Dame, worse than Harrison Barnes, worse than Austin Rivers, Demar Derozan, and only slightly better than Dion Waiters.

He has a ton of iso volume, but because his team is so shit, a lot of those are just bad isos to take. It's not his fault, but he's been a bit less than elite so far this year.

Why are you even asking this question. This is a franchise that had to rush through a bad trade for Boogie because they were afraid their owner would get cold feet and back off trading him. Not only that, they had to entice him into the trade by getting back a player who they probably know sucks, but their owner loves.

It's Vivek, dude. You can blame other people all you want, but when your owner gets this involved, and everything you hear about that involvement is terrible, that's the root of the problem.

Iso as per NBA stats is determined by a set play. Not individual one on one matchups and individual scoring. I'm talking about more than a post up on the high block.

This includes beating a man one on one without a screen and taking a elbow jumper, his combo crossover hesitation jumper on the free throw line and three, and of course his one on one matchups in transition he's almost impossible to guard.

Iso on NBA stats is widely known to be flawed in the fact it's subjective as well to what an iso score is beyond a widely known few set of plays including the most famous shoulder isolation widely used in the triangle offense.

Allen Iverson was famous for high three point line isolations and Westbrook uses them as well but it's not considered a iso on the stats page. Anything that involves beating a help defender isn't a iso but anything that isolates a player into a one on one matchup should and is considered iso and Westbrook and Harden lead the league in isolation scoring.

Please off yourself for this high level of ignore you "statbaby"

I'm just saying that Mavericks C Andrew Bogut was hitting on a girl at a bar last night. He was successful but got whiskey dicked and eventually killed himself in the icy Finnish winter.

There aren't any moves happening until 4 AM and shit.

Just go to sleep and find out if something happened later.

Both those two can roam, AD better than most. Kanter's slow-ass baby jumper/hook abomination has no chance. I'm more hype for the Adams-Cousins match-up.
>>
Someone please explain why Pacers want to trade for Paul George and what they're expecting to get for him?
>>
>>74343783
>trying this hard to fit in

Shitty country, shitty post, shitty opinion. Off yourself

PG is overhyped. Every time I see him he's just chucking like a piece of shit. He plays good defense but that's it. Carmelo is better.

Ainge could literally get both George and Butler or Drummond but he hasn't done SHIT. What a stubborn dumbass. Passed on Cousins too.

"Hey Pax. Danny here. Would you take 2 second rounders for Jimmy? We'll throw in...damnit we'll throw in Terry if we have to. Please respond. Thanks."

He's insanely good when he has help, offensively speaking. Bawston would be a great fit and might take the Cavs to 5 games instead of 4

>>74343549
Jeez he's trying to have teams make offers to him for "the assets" instead of the other way around

>>74343791
They want to trade him because people are spreading rumors that he's going to leave in free agency.

NBA insider here. Wojnarowski told me between enemas that he thinks that New York Knicks PG Derrick Rose is on the move... for poontang. He then laughed and told me, nah, Minnesota.
