Simmons should work on anything else. He's not about to become a worthwhile 3 po...
the thing is it can open his game up if he can actually shoot them
most of his other part of the game is polished
hes an elite passer and defender
his finishing is aight

So would being able to make FTs. And those are significantly easier than making a 3 point shot.
honest umbra
not that much easier
but like i said, his confidence is shot
(for these nba players i mean)
so everything is missing
smoky fable
I still think him shooting with his left is messing with him.

For which side

celtics

The Celtics or thunder?
honest umbra
okc u mean?
smoky fable
Yeah
honest umbra
but celtics get a center (albeit order) who works in their system
a young big man who i've heard is decent
honest umbra
but brown/tatum might not be enough
going from kemba/hayward/brown/tatum to just brown/tatum
that team that made the ECF, the east was weak mannnnnn

they cant beat the nets, 76ers, bucks or even hawks like that

Tatum just needs to recruit Beal

now that'd be killer

That’ll help

i dont want it for them

Fuck you, Brooklyn! Here comes the 2021-22 Orlando Magic!
haughty moss
the postseason for the magic basically
smoky fable
One and done in the playoffs and big men from the draft
dim kettle
If the Magic draft Mobley then the Magic wouldn't have learned anything.
tall temple
yeah
honest umbra
hed be big for 6ers but not with simmons there
smoky fable
I agree with that
haughty moss
he a hooper
dim kettle
I willsay though, the Magic need players in every position rn. So if the Magic end up with like the 3rd pick in the draft, they're most likely gonna get Mobley.
smoky fable
In potential
tall temple
magic have like 1 decent player at each position
smoky fable
They do?
tall temple
i would say they do at least
dim kettle
magic have like 1 decent player at each position
Decent, not good enough.
Mo Bamba is good but not that good. Issac, you resigned him but he's almost never healthy. There's questions about Fultz long term.
tall temple
yeah he just has to stay healthy
isaac in 2k sims is a demon he wins DPOY every single year lmao
dim kettle
With the Magic rn. They could end up in the same situation that happened the last decade. Where there was too much unproven young talent and not enough minutes to really evaluate.
haughty moss
he gonna be so nice
Magic would be lucky fr
no brainer pick
if it's there for them
honest umbra
hope magic get him
dim kettle
Depends on the lottery and who get's the top 3 picks. If the Pistons get 2nd overall they're probably going after Green.
dim kettle
If the Magic are giving the choice of Green or Mobley I'm picking Green every time.
honest umbra
like how we think that aint shady??
houston gonna get 1 pick guaranteed, big city vibes
lmao

could be, but they should get Mobley
dim kettle
The Lottery is always rigged in certain specific times in history. Look at the Cavs. They've won like 3 times in the lottery after Lebron left.
dim kettle
Took Irving and Bennett
And this is why the lottery is stupid and needs to go. You're not always gonna to get the Lebrons or Duncans in the world.
celest zephyr
think it was wiggins
haughty moss
yeah it was
smoky fable
Yeah it was
celest zephyr
they traded him for love
smoky fable
I forgot about him
smoky fable
If there ever was a definition of an empty stats player
celest zephyr
he's been good for the warriors actually this year
celest zephyr
surprised wiggins was useful before simmons learned what offense was
dim kettle
Remember that the Magic after winning the Lottery to get Shaq only missed the playoffs by a few games only for the lottery next year to be won again by the Magic coincidently after MJ decided to take a break from basketball.
honest umbra
got skinny for cavs

lebron didnt need a big man down low
he needed a man who could guard curry on a title defining possession with amin left in game 7 of the finals

You admitting that the magic got some help?
honest umbra
and he did exactly that
dim kettle
You admitting that the magic got some help?
Hell yeah.
celest zephyr
might have used up a bunch of their luck then
honest umbra
i mean at least before i could believe it wasnt rigged
it was done in front of us
but they literally do it
in the back now
lmao
dim kettle
The Lottery is only rigged in certain big moments.
smoky fable
Don’t they show the executives there watching the lottery?
I don’t get the notion of it rigged if executives would just let that happen
You can see the drawing afterwards. Didn’t see any foul play in any recent drafts.
honest umbra
but why not do it in front of crowds
dim kettle
In Adam Silver's time. The rigging has probably ended. But when Stern was incharge. Yeah, a lot of rigging. Another example. Robinson get's injured for the rest of the season for the Spurs and they tank. Magically Tim Duncan's there. David Robinson and Tim Duncan together.
smoky fable
Actually surprised the lakers never got a number one pick in recent years
2 was their highest point
celest zephyr
well silver probably doesn't
dim kettle
Because again, Sliver is probably doing a better job and not trying to fix the lottery.
Which, the lottery just needs to go away
smoky fable
Tanking would be a better alternative due to other small market teams having a shot
celest zephyr
but its kinda worthless otherwise
smoky fable
Don’t know why the league hated tanking
dim kettle
It fucks up expansion teams too.
celest zephyr
NBA always going to have tanking
smoky fable
It makes no sense
dim kettle
David Stern did a lot to bring the NBA to a globe market and make it the empire that it is today. But the lottery has done a lot worse than good. And BTW, if a team wants to to tank, let them tank. Because more times than not, the reason they want to tank is because they're are already in a bad place to begin with.
honest umbra
lmao this comment @dim ledge @burnt cedar
this scottish team has some nice talent man
che adams as well

Like, how many times in the NFL draft does the team with the number one pick happen to get the best player available?
smoky fable
Many times
dim kettle
But how many compared to failures?
smoky fable
More often than not
honest umbra
nfl is way diff
celest zephyr
its a draft afterall
celest zephyr
if people could predict accurately who would be good
honest umbra
in a nba team, in a short rotation 7-8 ppl play
celest zephyr
then well it would be completely different
smoky fable
Where does hockey differ from the nba in terms of player impact?
I’m curious to see since that also has a lottery
celest zephyr
one guy can't play 40 plus minutes
honest umbra
well kings had the 2nd pick last year and drafted them boy yea?
he didnt play for em till much later on
smoky fable
Sacramento or la?
celest zephyr
another thing that's weird is a lot of players don't play immediately for their nhl team
smoky fable
Ah
honest umbra
^ oimda
proud coyote
honest umbra
if green get drafted 2nd and dont start or play a lot of mins righht away
orlando gonna riot
like lamelo was coming off the bench early and ppl were like "wtf ???????????"
smoky fable
That’d be foolish of them not to
honest umbra
yet its accepted in NHL or NFL
dim kettle
Just because you get the first pick doesn't mean you're getting the best player available. See Pervis Ellison for the Kings in the 1989 draft, see Joe Smith for the Warriors in 95 wasn't that a big time franchise changer for the Warriors. Remember Michael Olowokandi for the Clippers. Well well
celest zephyr
its sometimes hard to see what translates
honest umbra
cleveland got the 1st pick
