I'm game; I deserve it. Is there a "hunky Rubio" photo out there somewhere?
Re: Around the League: Week 13 1/16-1/22
I've said that here a dozen times. If he were making a young team better wouldn't a team with the better young talent want to keep him? No one ever has an actual answer for that. I think we see a player we want and then construct a narrative that fits what we want to believe instead of the other way around. Some of us are so desperate for a Nash/Kidd like PG that we're willing to try anything right now. Lets make sure the team makes smart moves. This is a key moment in our rebuild. Shackling ourselves to Rubio at $14M a year (2 more years after this one) is not the answer.TheOriginalOriginal wrote:Rubio sucks. If he were worth a damn, Minnesota wouldnt be looking to unload him.

None of those numbers were making sense to me then I realized both articles are from last year.Ring_Wanted wrote:

6th straight 30+ point game for Kawhi Leonard. Is he the most quiet superstar in the league ever? I think he talks less than Duncan.

True, but should be factored in if the point is 'Rubio's impact on others is a myth'.carey wrote:None of those numbers were making sense to me then I realized both articles are from last year.
Anyway, Dunn if the PG I really want, but doubt the Wolves give him up.
Re: RE: Re: Around the League: Week 13 1/16-1/22
Agreed. So maybe the discussion needs to be why is it different this year? Is it Thib's system? The emergence of LaVine? Or perhaps he feels threatened by Dunn though he has not played well?Ring_Wanted wrote: True, but should be factored in if the point is 'Rubio's impact on others is a myth'.

Mavs beat Lakers by 49. Brandon Ingram was a -45 for the game. He was already dead last in the nba in Real Plus Minus.
Re: Around the League: Week 13 1/16-1/22
Pretty sure the Lakers will finish with a worse record than the Suns
Re: Around the League: Week 13 1/16-1/22
They realized they really want that top 3 pick

Re: Around the League: Week 13 1/16-1/22
Is Ingram officially a bust yet? Wow. This draft so far has been a dud with the big two injured or performing so poorly. Its really a mystery how some players can look so good and then be so bad in the NBA while others like Embiid and KAT seem to thrive.Split T wrote:Mavs beat Lakers by 49.

Re: Around the League: Week 13 1/16-1/22
Ingram will be fine. He's looked a lot better lately and he's 19. Lakers are letting him play through his mistakes and it will pay off in the long run.
Re: Around the League: Week 13 1/16-1/22
Lakers are tanking so they make Ingram play PG.
Similar to how Minnesota used to make LaVine their PG when they were tanking and he was statistically awful.
Once the Lakers care about winning, they'll put Ingram at his natural spot of SF and move Deng to the bench.

Re: RE: Re: Around the League: Week 13 1/16-1/22
Can't really say what has changed, although all you said probably makes an impact, and the emergence of Dunn is not going to take long to come. There is also a personal factor, as his mother died in may '16 and his granny did a couple of days ago.carey wrote:Agreed. So maybe the discussion needs to be why is it different this year?

Re: Around the League: Week 13 1/16-1/22
Agreed on the latter part, but 'fine' is pretty vague and if by that we are talking about those Durant comps, it's going to be a heavy task to even approach that level. what's your opinion on his speed? I believe that's the biggest limiting factor, even more than his weakness.Shabazz wrote:Ingram will be fine. He's looked a lot better lately and he's 19.
