Kip Smithers Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 1 hour ago, RandyMossIsBoss said: Because his speciality is not locking guys down on perimeter or protecting the rim, or winning any kind of 1v1 game besides post ups. It’s in his call outs, help D, pick and roll D... just team D in a nutshell I’d say and being capable of guarding 1-5. That lets him elevate good units to great, but I don’t think there’s any lifting bad units, and if you are playing w/ bums, it’s a lot harder to put that talent on display the same way, say, Gobert can always protect the rim, or Leonard can always hold his own if you glue him to 1 guy. I don’t get this. If anybody has G-Leaguers around them they’re gonna look bad. Look at AD in New Orleans. Kawhi has always had played on good defensive teams. So I don’t understand the point your making. Gobert has been exposed as a defender a number of times, same can’t be said for Draymond. Also telling Draymond to go on the perimeter to lock guys down would be a waste of his abilities. It’s not a case of he can’t or that he couldn’t do it well, it’s just a waste and not maximising him. He’d only be doing that to boost his own ego and not to help the team. Him doing what he does is best for the team and others around him. Don’t get it twisted if Draymond was to strictly play on the perimeter he’d do more than good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll never forget how well he played in his 1 year in Utah. The Spurs trading Hill for the draft rights to Kawhi Leonard and Davis Bertans might have been one of the biggest fleeces in NBA history.

J-ALL-DAY Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Per Shams, hold up with Lowry with both LAL/MIA is that the Raptors want THT and Herro and neither team is willing yet to add them in the trade packages...Lowry prefers Miami though.

agarcia34 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) Not willing to trade Talen Horton-Tucker is laughable. Teams love to hang on average NBA talent. Edited March 25, 2021 by agarcia34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyronnosaurus Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) Taken Horton Tucker may take the cake for most overrated player of all time. A borderline NBA player being treated like he’s Kawhi Leonard. Edited March 25, 2021 by Tyronnosaurus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont want Lowry. Not that I dont like the player. He's good - but from the chatter that I've heard we'd have to swap a number of players - for an expensive elder statesman. Like the player....cant diss his skills...."good" short term (depending on how many guys are leaving LA) but the fit is.....troubling. Just get Drummond. He's what we need...plus a few healthy players....that would help as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Rondo about to start playing hard again lol. Good pick up for the Clippers. Dude was so big for the Lakers, especially in a lot of crucial 4th quarters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I'm not as high on THT as others are, but giving up much value for a 34 year old PG who is a pending FA isn't exactly great business. Lowry is the best player in that deal... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His expectations on a return is too high for a rental. Just take a pick and crappy players back and call if a day.
