We got one back DLO, any others you'd like to see back?
JAZZ:
Jordan Clarkson
T. Horton-Tucker
PELICANS:
Brandon Ingram
Larry Nance Jr.
KNICKS:
Josh Hart
Julius Randle
BULLS:
Lonzo Ball
Alex Caruso
Patrick Beverly
WIZARDS
Kyle Kuzma
Kendrick Nunn
Kinda makes you wonder what a starting five of Ingram, Kuzma, Randle, Clarkson and THT could do(?) |
All these guys +Dlo (even if we could afford them) won’t make it past the 2nd round, so none of above |
Second round > 11 seed |
Maybe for your clippers |

Ingram/Kuz put up great numbers, but haven't even made the playoffs. Kuz seems to put up good numbers when starting. Ingram's game is super smooth however he's struggled to get his team to wins.
Ball had a great ceiling/impact, but he's never been able to reach even close to it, and now injuries.
The one guy that seems to play with a lot of heart and can actually lead a team to the playoffs at least, that too in a high pressure market, is Randle. I gotta give him credit. He's done it twice now, and it's not easy to be the #1 option in NY. They boo him, they get on him, and they critique him. He's been able to accomplish something only Melo has done in the last 15 years in NY in terms of leading the team to the playoffs twice in a short time.
For us - I'd love to have KCP, Hart and Caruso. Those are the sort of role players you can win with around AD/Bron. |
Yeah, Randle would be a solid 3rd option. Remember when we thought hes gonna be our Draymond but with better scoring. Good times

Yup.
Zo was crucial to Chicago's success. One can argue they were on their way to contention had he stayed healthy. They are barely a play-in team without him. Hard to believe a team with 3 all-stars + Caruso is 4 games below .500. Probably their MVP honestly.
And BI is doing his own carry job in New Orleans. No Zion for the rest of the year, and a CJ McCollum playing with a fractured finger that will require surgery in the off-season. They should be way below .500 with the squad and injuries they have at the moment. |

Caruso off the bench on a reasonable wage. Same with Clarkson for a little more.
Would happily have persevered with Talen a little longer, but I think LA wasn't the right place for him to find his feet.
Would take Randle back.
Don't have any negative feeling toward the draftees. Bev can do one, though.

I was listening to their coach in postgame press conference.. He seems like a smart dude who really works well for that team. Walker Kessler and Markannen... they got another huge dude I guess they are working on too UdokaAzubuike 6'11" 270
THT got 28 mins against Celtics.. just looking at box score and he only had two turnovers..
BTW.. I just noticed the NBA website has gone high tech
His Turnover count of 2 is a hyperlink explaining how he got the turnovers on the stat sheet
-wait ..WITH videos of said turnovers.
I saw the 2nd one lol poor THT pulled a Russ in the last seconds but did well in the game though
LINK |
Good lookin out, this is really a nice update. Props to the people working on the website. |
