As long as AD in the league you need a center of some sort tho, applies to jokic too. rockets had no verastility and thats where they f***ed up

I don't really fault gms that have a star leave in this player empowerment era lol. Dudes leave for the littlest thing or when a situation seems marginally better

We won with it

Morey over Masai

Considering Kawhi was deadset on LA I think ainge made the right choice.

Not according to your ~rings~ logic

Noel is great. Just dumb

Rich Paul literally paid AD's dad off to say he would never re-sign with boston lmfaooo bron was shook.

it was the rockets offense that struggled more than their defense tho

i just dont think the roster was near the lakers in terms of talent

I dont even think Noel was that bad of a pick. He was just a headcase and it was never going to work having him, Jahlil, and Embiid there at the same time lmao that was dumb

Conspiracy theories? SAD!

well yeah without versatility your offense is going to struggle as well.

If you’re a GM that hasn’t built a team that’s at least made it to a finals then idk boss

but versatility within a small ball system would work

us having kawhi does not guarantee a ring.

Kyrie left after 2 years, bob 84 milli in the lux rn with a team that can’t compete

Yeah I don't think small ball by itself is a bad thing, the Rockets just went odee and said "fuck all centers" entirely. Gotta keep at least one or two around just for matchup specific reasons lol

Even then you play small against the Lakers and they're still realistically big even in their "small" lineup so they just ran into a terrible matchup lol

The wcf is the true finals

Whos place is he taking tho

Bc pretty much all of them did some pretty great things

You ever read Dune?

if it would, they didn't have it so we'll never know. i think any team wanting to try it needs to do it better than just letting two men iso all the time regardless of the results.

Masai gotta be the best in the league.

results in the reg season i mean
