Nope DeRozan can’t shoot.
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
He can fill up the bucket. Gets his own shot and had 6.9 assists per game..
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
Kuzma averaged 1.9 APG…please don’t talk in circles about shooting…Don’t wanna hear it about this G League offense you want to bring back Tom…
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
DeRozan and Dinwiddie average 21/5/5 every game. They consistently create for themselves and others and nope don’t want it…LOL. C’mon man, the G-League Ignite would take a switch to that thing the Lakers called an offense w/no Bron and AD…LOL.

I respectfully disagree, Sean. Can’t add guys like these who are low volume, low percentage 3-point shooters. Not considering we are near bottom of league in 3-point takes, makes, and percentage.
Dinwiddie is career 31.8% on 2.3 threes per game.
DeRozan is career 28.1% on 1.3 threes per game.

Saying no to one 20 pt scorer would be a bad look. Balking at 2 after this season, is unconscionable…
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
Funny thing, who was supposed to pass Dinwiddie the ball in BKN? Anyone…They had Spence and Joe Harris as tangible offensive players. He shot 34% the year before though…There was no Kyrie, no KD, no Harden and Dinwiddie even had them averaging 111 pts/GM (16th) and he turned them into a Top 10 pace team…
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
Dinwiddie isn’t just a scorer and facilitator, he changes the pace of games. Dennis could have taken more control in pace…he did not…
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
Dinwiddie can and will change pace.

I understand shooting is a disadvantageous skill for both of them, but they do so many other things well offensively and consistently I don’t think we should let either one test the waters if they want to come here. One of those guys instantly makes our offense more balanced.

We need some DAWGS!!! I don’t care if they can’t even dribble..😁
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
I don’t care 🤷 either TBH. Myles Turner, DeMar DeRozan, Buddy Hield, Davis Bertans, Dame, Spencer Dinwiddie, Zach Lavine…I don’t care, just bring someone that provides cushioning offensively. And I don’t care how ya get the ball in the hole. The only thing that matters is that you get the ball 🏀 in the 🕳 hole.
-
![Profile picture of LakerTom]()
I absolutely agree we need a third reliable scorer but he also has to be able to stretch defenses with volume 3-point shooting (Lowry, Hield, Walker, McCollum, Ball, Rozier, Beasley) as well as give us 20 ppg.
-
![Profile picture of Buba]()
You see, Sean. That’s exactly what I am looking for. We need a third reliable scorer and I definitely don’t care if people keep attaching defense as a prerequisite. Yes, defense wins championships but you can’t win if you can’t score the basket either.

I agree, Morris has that in him but seemed to take a step back when he couldn’t hit from outside for like 2 months or however long that 0-fer from three streak went for.
Need a P.J. Tucker-esque style guy.

After seeing CP3 get there last night, can we find a way to get Melo to the mountaintop before he calls it a career? Yeah, I stan. So what? I want to see Melo in an NBA Finals before he's done. #NBA pic.twitter.com/97dOQSU2a0

Melo and Vince to me, two players that were amongst their peers in greatness. Circumstances always made it hard to build winners around them.
-
![Profile picture of therealhtj]()
Melo was up there for a moment in terms of raw, offensive talent, but his self-centered priorities were always going to stick a pin in any championship aspirations. By the time he came around, the tread was off the tires. Even joining with a Lebron who can no longer dominate a 7 game series and an AD who can’t be counted on to stay healthy in a contiguous season, that’s unlikely to change.
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
He can still score 15-20 a night, Stan. You seriously gonna pass? Really??
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
That’s correct. He’s only playing 20 mins a night. I’d rather have him launching 3’s than Pebbles (Kuzma wears Pearls)
-
![Profile picture of therealhtj]()
At this point I’d take a D league castoff over Kuz that doesn’t do something stupid half the time he’s out there, but Melo doesn’t really move the needle any more either. Banking on Melo making a difference, you’re better off selling high on the klutch clowns.
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
He’s also going threw a messy divorce. Being on the opposite end of the country playing on a team with a chance…I’d take that potential boon over signing Avery Bradley. Which might happen as well.

I’m way into it. Melo has changed from his NYC days where he insisted on so many things both on and off the court. Seems like he’s looking for a fit and we could be it.
ALso, what’s the probability the Clipps buyout Rondo next season? I say 99.99999%
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
Why so confident that will happen?
-
![Profile picture of Jamie Sweet]()
Multiple DNP in favor of Reggie, he’s owed $15 mil. Maybe try and work a S&T w/someone but not sure who would take that offer.

I am all for taking a chance on melo but I would also not ignore Avery Bradley and Rondo if we can bring them back for a second time.

Suns are the healthiest team standing. If Giannis isn’t limited this could be very entertaining. If it’s Middleton and Co. against that with no GA…could be done in 5.

This injury bug has completely turned the postseason landscape upside down. Still curious who is going to end up winning the title this year. It better happen soon before another star goes down.

We had the Bubble Championship.
Now we have the Bummer Championship.

Exactly, Tom. A tale of two seasons. Last year, the Lakers won without fans in the bubble and this season fans were allowed back just in time for the playoffs only to see stars go down like flies swatted off a wall.

In the NBA, Giannis Antetokounmpo off with knee hyperextension injury. Unfortunately brings many possibilities.
Best case: bone bruise, PCL/capsular sprain
Worst case: ACL injury
Hope for best case but concerned w significant hyperextension movement. 🤞🤞pic.twitter.com/6DYIDcY5SG— NRL PHYSIO (@nrlphysio) June 30, 2021

That was a very scary and ugly injury. I couldn’t even watch the replays. Glad the fans in the arena were sportsmanlike and showed him some love with an ovation when he finally got up despite rooting against him. Wish him a speedy recovery.

Man, I can’t believe Giannis could walk without help after that. I couldn’t watch that injury again after seeing it once. ike PG and Hayward injuries. Good luck, Giannis.

Tom, I think the pain will eventually catch up with him in a few days, or even a week. That was serious.

All of a sudden now even with a sore knee I’d still have the Bucks winning. It’s honestly a coin flip though.

Trae healthy coming back with a sore Giannis is a ++++ for the Hawks…Trae can simply be a shooter next game…it’s a coin flip. Bud should be concerned 😦

Makes it look like they’ve got more to hide. If it bleeds, it leads. They’re gonna bury Neil Olshey or Chauncey. One of them is going down.

The best examples are the Dolan Trust and Kroenke. However, those ownerships are mixed at best. Not one of the 4 teams have won a title since 1994 and James Dolan was in a different position in MSG at the time.
