Everything about these “rags” and YouTube channels is all painted with a political hue…that’s what I noticed…A lot of the schadenfreude and ill-will was directed at LeBron and his perceived political and known stances. And his hypocrisy at times. And at his character…

Sign em in 2 years!

Great analysis, Sean. I would add that the other major difference between shooters and scorers is how they get their points. Shooters generally get their points from midrange and three while scorers generally get a high percentage of their points at the rim. In other words, shooters get most of their points from outside the paint, scorers from inside the paint.

Why is that important? Because teams need a combination of shooters and scorers, who have a symbiotic relationship. Shooters create spacing that allows shooters to be left open. Scorers create gravity at the rim that opens up passing lanes to shooters on the perimeter. Today’s game is drive-and-dish.

Right now, the Lakers have enough scorers (LeBron, AD, THT, Schroder) but not enough shooters. We need better balance than that, primarily from our starting guards. Scroder is a low percentage, low volume 3-point shooter and KCP is a high percentage, low volume 3-point shooter. We need both of our starting guards to be high percentage 3-point shooters and at lease one of them to be a high volume 3-point shooter.

Man, I don’t remember seeing a post so convincing and well-informed. You did a masterpiece on this one, Sean and I completely agree with you and Tom on everything you both stated. Great job, man.

Not counting Hawks out yet.

IRONY FOR SURE, SEAN.

Clint played well. Big question is what will Daryl’s offseason move be. Big trade for Ben must be top priority.

Too funny, terrible move by the Rockets last season and it showed I the playoffs.

This is a really funny one. I think it is due to inheritance when he joined the “process”. The question now is will he keep Embid as the center or go all-out small ball roaster.

Lol, let them. Wiseman is going to be better.

What Gerald said about the Hawks is way worse than anything Tom said about Utah….😂😂😂😂😂

Folks keep saying stuff like this and yet…

Hard to be a superstar when you can’t shoot the rock!

From above article:

“Opinions differ on Philadelphia’s decision not to pursue Lowry harder, but there is a consensus around the league that Morey resisted because he’s angling for an even greater star,” wrote Kevin O’Connor of The Ringer. “He’s thinking about stars like Damian Lillard or Bradley Beal becoming available. CJ McCollum or Zach LaVine could also appeal to Philadelphia if they are put on the table.”

Again, due diligence. No doubt they’ll call, may happen may not.

It does make sense, Sean. Rich has to find the right place for Ben. Could it be on the Lakersr? Depends on whether Ben realizes he needs to change his game and develop a jump shot. Hard fit for a team that desperately needs shooting though.

‘Choke Goat’ of NBA Head Coaches…the list of guys who are one-time champion coaches is long and Doc will never come off that list.
