There is no such thing as a lockdown defender in the modern NBA. With all the rules they have added over the last 15 years it's impossible to lock a player down. We need to start stripping away these rules so players can actually contest 3 point shots that are starting to become out of control.

Has the NBA ever played with the concept of giving each team a designated player they can pay whatever the fuck they want? Wouldn't this improve parity? Kevin Love wouldn't go off to play 3rd fiddle for Lebron at 20m a year if he could get 70m at Portland or whatever.

Harden is like the easiest superstar to deal with. He has a type of defender that he struggles against (Roberson, Paul George) and once he starts missing shots he turns completely passive and goes into ref-baiting free throw thirst mode.

Semaj is better than Cameron unless Cameron is actually hitting shots. Semaj gets the plays going faster and doesn't waste 10 seconds bring the ball up and looking for some movement

it was bad because he didn't make the cucktics any better. Celtics are ONE, LITERALLY ONE superstar player away from contending fora title and danny ainge let him slip through their hands. TWICE. I would have done the bird trade for a gamble at the title this year. but i guess they like to lose.

Coupling this with the fact that OKC has a roster spot open, it would allow for them to go after Blake Griffin in free agency.

Dump Singler's contract, take the luxury tax penalty (which is something that the front office seems to be okay with nowadays), and pursue Griffin to a roster consisting of the following players

Doug McDermott (shooter)
Taj Gibson
Russell Westbrook (Playmaker 1)
Victor Oladipo (Playmaker 2)
Alex Abrines (sharpshooter)
Steven Adams (defends the paint and guarantees rebounds)
Enes Kanter (double-double machine)
Jeremy Grant (rim protector)
Andre Roberson (lockdown defender)
Blake Griffin (scorer)

The spacing of this team would be astronomical. OKC would be a solid 2-4 seed.
>>
I'm kind of worried as a Cavs fan now. Injuries could be a problem and Toronto are deep and can theoretically defend. Full strength, I'm not too worried, but the Cavs depth is wafer thin and LeBron has already played far too many minutes.
>>
>>74354507
Kobe literally. He brought the best out of everyone.

During those 4 years Pau Gasol was regarded as the best big man in the NBA even though he was a borderline all star before he came to the Lakers.

Odom was the 6th man and was used really well.

Metta/Ariza were good 3 and D players at the time. Metta saved our ass so many times.

Bench was not ver good. Bench mob would blow 20 point leads in the 4th quarter and the starters had to come back and win back the games.

Overall it was a well made team where everyone complimented Kobe's still set and had above average defenders.

>>74355393

The spacing would still be awful, like it is with the Clippers right now, but other teams would have to use less help defense, OKC would be better off getting 2 elite 3-and-D guys to put into the rotation than Blake griffin, no offense to Blake.

>>74355478
Smush Parker, Kwame Brown, Chris Mihm were no longer in the NBA after those years. It is amazing alone he got a 3-1 lead over the Suns.

>>74355571
Meanwhile all the players Lebron played with in 07 stayed in the NBA for a long time.
>>
>>74355501
And then there's closing lineup
Westbrook/Oladipo/McDermott/Kanter/Adams

And then there's the small-ball lineup
Westbrook/Oladipo/Abrines/Grant/Kanter

And then there's the crunchtime defense lineup
Westbrook/Roberson/Gibson/Grant/Adams

And then there's the large-size lineup
Westbrook/Roberson/Griffin/Gibson/Adams

The variations can change up to accommodate the needs of that particular game. I think this team would be rather decent.

You're only looking through your bias against one player who's caught the media's attention for the past five months.

Colangelo waited too damn long to flip Noel and nobody was going to break the bank now when they could offer a RFA offer in the summer. Then, whoever trades for him would understand they need to give him as close to a max deal or watch someone like the Nets do it to force their hand. All of it compounded with Okafor's rockbottom value makes people pissed off.
>>
If the celshits had Cousins and Butler they would have competed for the ship. (getting rid of Horford first because you will NEVER win a thing with him)
>>
>>74357504

76ers are actively talking now
Embiid will be shut down soon
Simmons isn't coming back
Trading Noel lets them get their own high lottery pick instead of a late one PLUS a potential Lakers #4 pick
Already beat their win total from last season, fans will be pissed but TJ will meme them to a few wins to keep them happy

They could have gotten a better package for Noel but it was a last minute thing to move him. Okafor was supposed to go but I won't lie, Colangelo is not Hinkie.

I really really hope Brett starts to treat him as any other player from now on. If he's playing bad (and he will, oh he will) fucking sit his fat ass and play Rich Homie. He doesn't have any fucking excuses anymore, from now on if he's shitting the bed he should be treated accordingly.
>>
>>74357634

Its mostly effort with Okafor, I hope this trade scare woke him up. Maybe he will never be a god tier rim protector but he should be pulling at least 10-12 boards a game. This 6 or 7 shit won't do

Seriously, for the umpteenth time, why is paying Noel is that big of an issue (no question mark because it's not)

A locked up Noel, even if it's a max, is better than asset than 2 second rounders and a bum.
Why is this so hard to understand ?
YOU CAN STILL FUCKING TRADE HIM AND GET MUCH, MUCH MORE

See I don't think it's effort. I mean yeah it is effort, but it isn't like a" yeah I don't care that much" type of thing. He just has too low of a motor. He is unable to push himself to a level that is required to be even average in the NBA.

FFS he can't even set a goddamn pick.

>>74357666

I'm not sure what Colangelo is doing, but the biggest need for the Sixers right now is a two guard. Maybe he wants to sign someone next season? I don't know, but there's some decent swingman in the draft, which is ideal. You want someone who can switch to 3 when Simmons plays 1 and then move to 2 when Simmons is playing 3 in lineups with TJ.

>>74357726

Yeah effort, laziness, I don't know what it is. But his pick setting is probably the worst in the league, Randle's is pretty shitty too.

Both. Rockets are legitimately good. There is always a chance that they're just another D'Antoni regular season meme team, but I don't think they are. They play good defense, their roster is ridiculously deep, and their superstar isn't a white manlet this time. I could see this Cockshits team being D'Antoni's redemption story.

I made a post that perfectly predicted this.

It doesn't matter if you have a good PF-C duo.

It doesn't change the fact the rest of the team is bad, especially with three point defense.

Ryan Anderson is getting shut down but Rocker's strength is in their guards. You can't stop that with Cousins and AD.

There is no such thing as a lebron stopper. You can slow him down though. Leonard and Butler can. Iguodala sort of. All you're doing is keeping him from dropping 30-40 points. Although Kawhi is the one that can really frustrate him.

The Ibaka trade at least made sense in that a team could potentially see him making a leap offensively. He had huge stretches in the past when Westbrook or KD went down. Chicago gave up two good players for a bad one and a guy who might be okay two years from now when he's 28.
>>
>>74358888
Definitely not anymore. They have the MVP, the 6MOTY, maybe the best shooting cast, and by far the deepest roster. Lou Williams was a ridiculous pickup.

>>74358911
Ibaka's broke.
IMO his issue is he took the role of "stretch" way too far and has mostly become a jump shooter, who is not very good at it. And as a result his defense has suffered as well, hes no longer the shot blocker he once was.
>>
>>74358869
Oh, i dunno man, that's a pretty bad trade.
Joffery is very overlooked and imo the highlight for them. But Taj is Taj. Tons of PO experience, double double, A defender, leader. And McBuckets is the second coming of Peja.
