Also shows how useless Noah is to the rest of the league.

His only hope is if thibs manages to include deing in the butler trade.

I do wonder if there was something else going on with noah as we were adamant at not bringing him back and no team even wanted to give him a try out in preseason.

I think it was a consideration until Fiz met with Noah in the off-season. I think Noah said something during their conversation that made Fiz think Noah is a no-go.

Chandler is better than what they had, but it's not much more.

Lakers have no rim protection aside from McGee. Beasley interesting enough has done pretty well considering the situation.

LBJ gets teams to sign who he wants, but he never seems to want rim protection. Odd.

Lakers should offer Ingram and Ball for Zinger. They need rim protecion and shooters and since LBJ is really your primary ball handler anyway, Ingram and Ball are sort of roleless since both shoot like pure ****.

You mean locked to the bench? Dude has played exactly 10 minutes across all of Lakers 9 games.

Your are wrong on many levels here...I have watched every single Laker game....First, Beasley hasn't played much at all this season, so not sure how you figure he's done well unless you mean he's been a good cheerleader.

Second, Rondo has done an outstanding job running the point and alleviating Lebron from primary ball handling responsibilities...Rondo was great last night running the show (yes he and Lebron took turns at times) and on top of that, for the first time since Lebron played along side Wade, Rondo, not Lebron was barking instructions, huddling the team, talking during timeouts and getting guys into position. Also, Ball handles the rock quite a bit when he ie in the game too....

Third, you say Lebron never wants rim protectors, yet they signed McGee this summer (he has been outstanding protecting the rim by the way, 6 big blocks last night) and now they are adding Chandler....You are correct on one level; the Lakers absolutely need one more shooter...

Never thought Sexton was a top 10 guy in the last draft, but this a bit much. Cleveland is even more of a crap show than it was the first time LeBron left and they wasted the first overall pick on Anthony Bennett.

Per the report: "It's becoming increasingly clear that when you hear a Cavs veteran talk about younger players not knowing their role, or knowing how to win, or what to do on the court, they mean Sexton. Throughout the organization, the line on Sexton is that he does not 'know how to play.'"

its almost too bad Briggs isnt around to troll a bit. Its funny how I immediately think of him when I see certain players.
For example Frank Kaminsky (sure fire high end player) is out of the rotation and is on a trajectory to be a scrapheap league min player. Meanwhile one of the keys behind the Kings strong start has been the emergence of WCS who has become a very good 2-way center.

Here's an eye popper: Marcus Smart after getting paid: 5ppg, 4assist, 24mpg, 30% FGs, $12mm bucks. Good thing he's really good at playing that there d-fence

really shoddy behaviour from so called veterans. He's 19, and doesn't even have 10 games under his belt- if he's doing something wrong, help teach him, don't go criticizing him to the press.

You can't deny that Phil was spot on with at least one trade.

Report suggests Cavs' veterans unimpressed with Sexton
Field Level MediaReuters
Posted at Nov 05 2018 10:05 AM


It apparently has taken some Cleveland Cavaliers veteran players nine games to decide that first-round draft pick Collin Sexton doesn't "know how to play."

A report in The Athletic zeroes in on Sexton, the eighth pick overall in the NBA draft in June, who apparently was viewed as a player to build around in the wake of the end of the LeBron James era.

The 19-year-old Sexton, who spent one season at Alabama, is averaging 23.7 minutes per game, with 11.1 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists on 41.3 percent shooting.

The Cavaliers have begun the season 1-8, which cost coach Tyronn Lue his job, and their best player, power forward Kevin Love is out for up to six weeks with a foot injury.

Joe Vardon of The Athletic writes:

"It's becoming increasingly clear that when you hear a Cavs veteran talk about younger players not knowing their role, or knowing how to win, or what to do on the court, they mean Sexton," according to the article.

"Throughout the organization, the line on Sexton is that he does not 'know how to play.' He doesn't know how to defend the pick and roll. He doesn't know how to set up teammates as a point guard. ... and they're discouraged when, after these losses, he doesn't seem bothered by them."

For the 8th pick in the draft the _________ select

2018-sexton
2017-frank
2016-marquese
2015-stanley
2014-stauskas
2013-caldwell pope
2012-terrence ross
2011-Farouq Aminu
2010-brandon knight

Something about that 8th pick that never produces a star or even close to it, I wanted to trade that pick so bad, move up, down, just not the 8th pick

This was about Jabari Parker but you had to make it about Frank using Sexton as an excuse. 😀

That line of thinking is 100% superstition, you might as well be looking at player's astrology signs.

whats funny is you wanted to be like Miami. We hired a Miami guy, we play hard hard for 48 minutes and the type of coach YOU pined for has Burke sitting and Frank starting. What is funny to some here is you dont know why and are puzzled by this.

Do you hate passive players just on the offensive end?

Knicks got a lot of passive players on the defensive end.

You hate them too?

And I have responded to this multiple times and I'll respond again - We had an aggressive PG in Rose(65 games) along with Melo(74) and KP(66) and we managed to win 31 games. So what is your point? Or did you even have a point to start with? Maybe just take a step and analyze why your style of preferred basketball always comes up short? Why do you think the Knicks were so bad for so long while always having "all stars" on the roster? at what point do you think it's time for a just a little bit of introspection about your own views of what works in face of overwhelming evidence that it doesn't?

And yes I hated Melo, still do - never started posts saying "I don't hate Melo" - what lame idea! So not sure why that was thrown in there?
