Kobe Bryant cooked the Suns in the 2010 WCF.
Arguably his greatest playoff series in his entire career.
33.7 PPG, 7.2 RPG, 8.3 APG, 0.8 SPG, 1.2 BPG
PHX threw zones at Kobe and he made them pay shooting 52.1% from the field, 43.2% 3PT, & 88.1% from FT.pic.twitter.com/D7zfvMRukc

The stars make too much money to compete in these things now. KD won the horse thing early on but it wasn’t very compelling.

He has heard that the Celtics could be interested in McCollum, and mentions that Marcus Smart would fit well in Portland: https://t.co/kWbi8r7KAI

This is the thing with the trade market: we don’t have the ponies or the draft picks to move anyone’s needle. We got 2 guys we’re not trading and spare parts that nobody really needs. The 22nd pick in the draft that can only be traded 30 days after isn’t a haul.
-
This makes a ton of sense for the Blazers, hard for me to see Brad trading the heart and soul of that squad but both teams are in that limbo of making the playoffs without having enough to go deep. Gotta do something.

If I’m Boston I’m not blowing that thing up already. They’ve got a good core that maybe just needs a fresh voice as the head coach. That dude pulled Nia Long…he’s gotta be doing something right..lol

You never know because it only takes one team to believe in a player to overpay. The idea that Lowry could be had for Schroder, KCP, and THT for example. I would do that trade agaion in a moment and then take Kuzma and swap him and filler for Buddy Hield.
Of course, the big problem with the above scenario is the Lakers wouldn’t have enough filler to match salaries for Buddy, which is why they likely can only land one starter via trade. Best may be to make some deals to add trading chips to be moved at the trade deadline. Ending up with a team full of UFA’s was the part of the failure fallout from not trading for Lowry.

Good to see Chauncy get his shot. They ain’t moving Dame anytime soon…Lotta years left on that contract.
-
Was not a fan of Yankees keeping German. Seems like everybody has forgotten the Chauncey Billups rape allegations and settlement.
-
It’s fair to the man to point out, it was “alleged”. Yes, a rape kit was administered. He was not charged with a crime. That doesn’t mean a person Isn’t guilty of violating someone else, it means there’s no hard/DNA evidence he committed a crime.
-
These situations are always difficult to know who’s right and who’s wrong. I tend to believe the women for the obvious reasons but there are clearly cases where the accusations are false and monetarily motivated. There’s also situations where people change their minds midstream. Not saying Chauncey is a rapist but when there’s a settlement and a lot of smoke, it’s easy to say let’s move on rather than look harder at the evidence. JMO.

Greater humanitarian than a Legendary Basketball player. Incredible paint protector. Is the prototype for rim protection. Tall, lean, athletic, light on his feet and is intelligent about angles and verticality. Was underrated because the 90s was the era of the big man. He wasn’t sexy to be in the foreground so he was kept in the background from a marketing perspective. Still did well for himself there as well.

Always loved Dikembe’s style. He had some pick and pop to his game that was underrated. Could have maybe been a stretch big in the modern era.

Not sure Luka and Dame are a good fit? Both need to score! Dame could take all the shots he wants with us!
-
They’d have to S&T Hardaway Jr. and add Brunson to a KP deal but why would Portland make that move? Hard to see any team lining up prime pieces to land Porzingis at this point, he has to show he can play close to 70-75 games and not break down and also maybe try a little harder on D. If Portland makes that move it’s wholly to appease Dame which is suicide for them, it’s already hard for them to lure talent of any kind up there.

Here’s the counter point. With all the antics players now engage in when lining up, subbing in and out, grabbing the ball and dribbling a time or two I think they should expand the clock to 15 seconds on free throws. In all honesty, who cares? Hawks just trying to get into G’s head. Don’t think it’ll work.

Would be an upgrade.
I tend to think J-Kidd was bluntly honest with Vogel and told him Schroder isn’t a true PG and I’m gonna struggle executing a sound offense with out that. I really do. Only explanation that makes sense.
Both Vinson and Gentry preach a different tune offensively. Might be a good change.

That 19 pt performance in the 3rd was both efficient and unreal. Almost 90% of his contested shots were deemed “difficult”. Wade a deadly shot maker in his own right was in disbelief at what he was seeing.
