NBA Players With The Highest Basketball IQ
https://fadeawayworld.net/nba-players-w ... ketball-iq

Besides the obvious Booker slander, how do they have Giannis in tier 2? They really think he has a higher bball iq than CP3? Imagine Giannis with CP3’s brain…he’d be the GOAT. Draymond should also be higher.

I don't know. He learned that he could run over people and get the call and continues to do it to MVP numbers. Seems pretty high IQ to me.

Ben Simmons had a nice return for the Nets with two boards short of a triple double. Which is going to make our next game that much tougher.

Is it? He won't shoot outside of 5 feet. I'm not worried about him in the slightest.

Giannis is not above average in basketball IQ, IMO. He's significantly overrated on that list.

I'm not sure this is anything. Lakers are 2nd in points in the paint.

Oh great, we're doing this now with Lebron?

Lebron should opt out and sign for the minimum with us next season.

I wonder if LeBron cares that much at this point. I'm not saying he doesn't want to win, but his legacy is secured. What's another ring, especially when everyone will just say he jumped ship and joined a contender. He's in LA, his son is at USC, he's got his business and media stuff out there. Would he want to pick up and move for a year or 2 to chase a ring?

I used to think there was an outside change LBJ would play here but I think that opportunity's passed.

I doubt Bronny jumps to the NBA next year. He’ll stay at USC so LeBron will pick up his PO with LAL next year. Come 2025-26 all bets are off. LeBron is probably signing with whoever drafts Bronny

Though I’d absolutely draft Bronny if he comes out in 2024

As well as Bron's been playing, Father Time is undefeated....

For the cap nerds

This would impact the Booker extension. I think he’ll start at 49,350,000 next year. I have us about 5 million over the 2nd apron next year(assuming everyone picks up their player options). Would account for 12 players but we’d need to re-sign Grayson. We also will certainly make trades in the next couple weeks.

OK. If you watched the highlights, they walloped the Jazz. The Jazz have been competitive this year.
