Around the League: Week 15 (1/23 - 1/29)

Lol god damn it im not serious. Mikal >OG if we’re being real.

I am serious about trading for Dame. Dame and Book might be a top 5 all time backcourt. Even at 33 I think you get a good 3 years left.

You might be serious about it but Portland just recommitted to building around him.

They’ve committed to being mid around. Hes 33, things change, let’s check back in the offseason

I'd rather not blow all our assets for another old PG, Dame isn't getting this team over the hump. Especially when you gotta bring back sorry ass Nurkic too, yucky.

[Split T]

Ya Dame/Nurkic is a recipe for a bad defense…doesn’t matter who the other 3 guys are

MJ/Rodman/Pippen and you might have a shot.

[Superbone]

LeBron trying to get there sooner than later with 46 in a Lakers 115-133 loss. I guess LeBron must be considered one of those empty stats guys.

[Mori Chu]

This is another crazy Lebron stat.

[Split T]

LeBron averaging 30/8/7 at 38 is crazy…I told you guys we should have traded for him

[Wally_West]

Bucks should sends us a 1st for Crowder so we can use in a trade.

[MightyMoog]

They don’t have any, they used it all up on Jrue

They can trade a 1st from 28’ 29’

I heard the Milwaukee owner might want to sell and will sacrifice the future to get a title before he sells. Would you take Marjon Beauchamp as payment for Crowder? Plus a contract to make the salaries match.

Nope, gimme Giannis or go away.

[Shabazz]

I’d take Portis.

[Superbone]

It doesn’t take much to be an NBA analyst these days.

[Flagrant Fowl]

I was watching when he said that and didn't view it negatively. He's just saying that he doesn't pay attention to players who haven't achieved anything, like Rui Hachimura who was the reason for that statement in the first place.

Also, Shaq isn't an analyst. He's an entertainer like Barkley. Kenny Smith and Candace Parker are the only two that provide any insight on that show, which is fine with me. Most people don't want to watch 30-60 minutes of scheme minutia.

All good points. And I didn’t see it in context.

[Superbone]

Big talking Memphis blows another one at Golden State. They’ve now lost four in a row after their 12 game winning streak.

[Flagrant Fowl]

I heard Chris Vernon (Memphis radio guy) talk about their current West coast road trip on one of his podcast appearances. His excuses were 25 year old NBA players in LA, Dillon Brooks' birthday party before playing the Suns, and the Kings going nuclear in the first quarter.

There's validity in those excuses, but it's also very likely they're hitting their rough spot in the season and aren't actually the 72-win Warriors.
