The Official Dwayne Wade <<<<<< you thread

No idea but he's been really good the last 8 games or so.

Because he’s got a coach that trusts him and doesn’t bench him for Rajon fucking Rondo. Also he’s always showed this level of play, but he’s always been incredibly consistent. Point guards take time to become consistent. They’re not instantly great.

Also injuries... he got injured every fucking time he made a breakthrough.

Yeah in fairness Hart and Ingram both have said he's finally healthy and that's the main difference.

If anyone would know anything about Lonzo in the NBA it would probably be them.

We were absolutely screwed by the refs last night, it was happening all night but the last possession were Gobert hacked Ingram took the fucking cake.

Also Gentry said the refs gave them no explanation on the no call or or the fact they didn't give us a timeout when we asked for it despite both Lonzo and Gentry asking for it.

It's nice that we played well against a good team without Jrue but annoying that we were absolutely screwed.

Are you coming back to GL Nba Mole?

Fantasy is life.

Coming back ? I never left.

Griffin had knee surgery, I wonder what level he'll be able to still reach. Detroit rumoured to trade Drummond, too. It's like half of Eastern conference are in heavy rebuilding mode.

Rebuild by trading your best player ? Drummond is just 26

I think he's gonna be unrestricted free agent after this season. Might as well get what you can for him if you think he's not going to stay.

He’s not good enough to ever be on a good team. He’s a max player that’s never gonna be a winning player.
He’s gonna get you that 8th-9th seed each year and you’re never gonna win, and never gonna get a top pick.

It’s better to suck than be mediocre.

If you're mediocre you can still sign a huge contract based on potential. Rather that than be crap AND struggle to find a team.

I'm surprised you dislike Drummond, whenever i saw him play he was the dominant man in the paint. But that would be based on a sample of 4-5 games since last year, it's not much.

However, a player who sucks to an extreme extent, is Kyle Kuzma. And that's based on a sample of 25+ games. Every time i watch Lakers he does nothing, misses his shots, lazy in defense. It's crazy that a player like this is well paid to play in NBA, for the Lakers on top of that

If you’re trying to find a discussion with me regarding Kuzma

My least liked prospect we’ve had since 2013

Wiggins came first in my mind, but he improved this season. Then i thought of Kuzma who is a prime example of a mediocre player who's paid on potential.

Sadly for you he wasn't included in the Davis trade.

What are you on about? Paid on potential?!

He makes 1m a year

Fair enough i saw 5M

It's 2 million, and it's so low compared to every other player in the entire league, that we can't trade him straight up for anyone.

Doris Burke is such a breath of fresh air compared to the other hacks on ESPN.

Actually analyses and talks about the game and the players in it instead of talking about random bullshit.

Greatest player we've ever had this one

Dudley is hilarious

“I knew what i can do, stay in front, give the ball to LeBron...it’s easy, I don’t think people realize how deep we are. I was starting playoff games last year..I would’ve been out the league a long time ago if it was just about scoring”

Rondo is incredible this game lol

Kuzma 36 pts

We're finally getting chip 17

The Pelicans will know a lot more after practice this week, but it sure sounds like we’ll get the long-awaited NBA debut of Zion Williamson on Thursday vs. the Jazz. That’s the plan, anyway, per sources.

Zion debuting would be more than welcome, the season's more or less at a stage where there's nothing interesting going on.

Eastern conference is looking tragic, by the way. The Magic are 8th with 0.462, the Hornets are 9th with 0.357.
