Not a bad trade. Accomplishes everything all around. Obi is very similar to Amar'e in terms of athleticism and body movement but more finesse like Channing Frye on offense. And defensively he's below average.

I’d be all for Obi Toppin. I guess you’d just have to hope Indiana doesn’t expect him to play like he’s Kevin Durant.

Can James Johnson smack some sense into our own players?

Forget Obi Toppin, let’s get Obi Wan. The mechanics on his jump shot are amateurish, but somehow it always goes in the hoop.

Maybe he can put an end to Durant’s unforced turnovers.

He seems to block shots without even touching them.

The force is strong with him.

For the dunk contest, they’re going to dig a shaft in the floor, and he’s going to start his dunk hanging by his hands in the shaft.

You just like saying “shaft”. 😜

It’d be better if his arm got lobbed off mid dunk, catches the ball with the other hand and dunks it.

I think you’re confusing Obi-Wan with Luke. Obi-Wan died with all limbs intact and never knew his father.

I actually wouldn’t…the contracts don’t work, but even if they did, I wouldn’t trade picks for a guy who just tore an Achilles. He’s gonna be out this year and next probably. At that point Beal would be heading into his last year

He’s young still so maybe he can make a return relatively early next season, but yeah I probably wouldn’t use a pick on someone who can’t help this team right now either.

Sign-in required? Can these nutso highlights be found elsewhere?
