2024-11-19 06:29:07 +0000 UTCgood afternoon Alch, I was looking at the roster and the answer for the size issue we have had. It's actually a player we have looked into in the past, Jakob Poeltl he does have a contract that is larger but he has been playing well to start the season averaging 16 and 11 and is a legit 7 footer. I watched the game against the Celtics and he looks slow up and down the court, when he gets to the other side he adds presence to the team, he played well defensively and protected the rim without having those crazy block numbers in that game against the Celtics. I did a mock trade, where we add size and shrink the rotation a little. I put De'anthony Melton and GPII and a 2026 first for Jakob and a second. the trade works out for both sides both contracts are expiring contracts and a pick to sweeten up the deal, for a big that is helping them win which is not something the raptors want to do. the trade can't be done until December 15th for De'anthony, but I feel like its a good trade for us. What do you think?

2024-11-18 07:49:36 +0000 UTCHope he can pull it off with Draymond... but like Alch has said repeatedly, words don't work on Dray, you have to physically pull him out of proximity, which means it needs to be a team effort.

2024-11-18 01:57:24 +0000 UTCThat makes sense, tho I think it will take him struggling up into the AS break for them to consider
Athletic Alchemy
2024-11-17 21:30:31 +0000 UTCDonte isn’t playing well in that system and melton’s contract is off the books next season. Min will love an expiring contract as they want to avoid the luxury tax

2024-11-17 21:21:40 +0000 UTCI agree hard to keep a rhythm as a scorer
Athletic Alchemy
2024-11-17 21:19:27 +0000 UTChe seems like a real PIA to play against
Athletic Alchemy
2024-11-17 21:18:54 +0000 UTCwhy would Min do that?
Athletic Alchemy
2024-11-17 21:18:24 +0000 UTCnah but Im not surprised lol.. you see Podz got up out them right after Stephs roll
Athletic Alchemy
2024-11-17 21:06:38 +0000 UTCI like that tap on the catch, he likes to catch and then do it but you are right he has found his rhythm
Athletic Alchemy
2024-11-17 21:06:10 +0000 UTCThat’s the thing though, as his legs get warmer he gets in a flow, but he has to basically play on cold legs at the most random times. He does so well even on cold legs but I just see his play sometimes and it’s quite apparent he has to find his legs all over again, he’s already good but I know he’s better than the opportunity he gets.

2024-11-17 19:27:19 +0000 UTCThey paid him so they should play him but they also paid Melton so you have to ballance it and progressively squeeze Moody into the starting line up as his D picks up.
Dale Happy Knowles
2024-11-17 19:24:10 +0000 UTCNah! It's the NBA way to direct traffic. A way to bridal GSW. They did it all last year sending our opponents to the line to keep the games close. Don't forget the disparity in FTs particularly LAL got against GSW. The NBA don't want Steph sitting out the whole of 4th qtrs. Bad for business. He because too much of a GOAT, more efficient, can raise his asist, steals, reps, ... which threatens LBJ GOAT conversation.

2024-11-17 19:19:41 +0000 UTCAlc I notice that as long as Dray taps that front foot and JK does not shoot 3s flat footed, they hit them near 100%. Wiggs is doing what I said JK was doing a few gms back. Dive to the basket on every screen and transition. That's all KD had to do when he was on the team. STEPH AND Buddy gravity makes that middle open all day even with monster mashes on D. They just havevto finish violently to gain some respect. It would be interesting to know what percentage of JK minutes he played 4 and if he scores, rebounds or picks up fouls. I am not worried about his contract because JK is 22 and a miniature LeBron in fitness. Other than Steph and Buddy, I have not seen any as durable and energetic as he. That's $$$$$ in the bank. As for rotations, Kerr would be wise to continue the mirror structure of the starter and bench 1. Steph - Podski 2. Melton/Moody - Buddy/(Waters) 3. Wiggs - JK/GP2 4. Dray - Slow Mo 5. TJD - Looney Melton, Waters, GP2 are most prone to injury so they should not be the prime after the All-Star game. Moody should have been ramped up by then. Playoffs should be 1. Steph 2. Moody 3. JK 4. Dray 5.TJD I don't believe Wiggs body will hold up.

2024-11-17 15:12:48 +0000 UTCAlways bad when refs loose control. Looked like a very inexperienced crew
Ken Bradford
2024-11-17 10:37:34 +0000 UTCJK has not earned the amount that he talks to the refs.
John Pettus
2024-11-17 07:11:04 +0000 UTCcrazy that a couple years i played against jaylen wells now hes guarding steph...life crazy
Ruben Valce
2024-11-17 06:42:49 +0000 UTCLarsa, Scottie's mom, is an OnlyFans creator. The joke is about Scottie's teammates watching her content and talking shit to Scottie about it.. But I guess after Malik Beasley dated her, I'd imagine it can't be worse than that
Ivan (Vanya) Kashperuk
2024-11-17 03:27:53 +0000 UTCMoody seemed so comfortable to start but the inconsistency is messing with him, I give up, not on him but his situation, he ain’t getting what he needs here

2024-11-17 02:25:33 +0000 UTCCan someone translate that joke about Scottie Pippen Jr.? Lol.
Neal X
2024-11-17 01:05:32 +0000 UTCReminded me of early 90's Knicks/Pistons games. It's like a hockey game when one team gets way ahead and the price is fights and in this game possible injuries. Great call Alch on the Heat west, but the heat are cleaner.
Russ
2024-11-16 23:47:28 +0000 UTCWish he could’ve worked with Celebrini over the summer, like Wiggins did, to prep his body for the season. (But even that may not have been enough time to reverse old problems.)
deb m.
2024-11-16 22:38:36 +0000 UTCFeels like Memphis matchups are always gonna be chippy no matter who’s playing bc of the history. Hell I get annoyed just looking at them so I can only imagine the disdain the players have lmao
Luke Zhang
2024-11-16 22:09:00 +0000 UTCWith Zubac coming up, I like our platoon of energy in Loon n TJD to try to minimize his advantage, probably heavier Loon minutes, even starting. Go high pnr early to run him off? I’m doubtful, but hope I’m surprised. Anyone watched G league 7footer draft kid? Anything there?
Chip Tingle
2024-11-16 21:49:10 +0000 UTCIf that’s not a sign of true depth, I don’t know what is
Ejikeme Uzoigwe
2024-11-16 21:48:52 +0000 UTCStill catching up on video, listened to Tim/Tom last night. Tommy T!!!!! Another way of showing depth is winning in so many different styles, able to stay composed against elbows and whistles. Dubs are F’ing DIALED IN, even shown in postgame tone and composure, especially Dray. So much is MINDSET!
Chip Tingle
2024-11-16 21:37:25 +0000 UTCSecond half brought to you by Draft Kings
Neotokyo
2024-11-16 21:33:23 +0000 UTCI totally agree, like a lot of people were wanting Kerr to start Buddy when Curry and Melton was out and he left him coming off the bench where he has established himself. I didn't mind Lindy getting the start. He was working himself into a nice offensive game before he got hurt. Coming down on that planted stiff leg was the issue. The force just jolts upwards and flexed his knee backwards. Really scary to see, hope it doesn't keep him out long.
Patsy Ralls
2024-11-16 21:18:18 +0000 UTCThe clips game is Monday not Sunday. Almost like the NBA knew to give us 2 days off before and after playing this rugby match. Also, I know the point diff matters but these whistles to bring the game so close REALLY feels like betting shit. Regardless if it really is or not the NBA is gonna have to tell refs to chill during blowouts. But then again who doesn't love a huge comeback? Tricky
Jordan Smith
2024-11-16 21:11:46 +0000 UTC80% skill 20% luck.
Nathan Glanzer
2024-11-16 21:05:08 +0000 UTCI think actually Slomo gets a better shot when it's low because it forces him to have his body lower to start, which lets him get the force needed. Works well with his goofy form.
Nathan Glanzer
2024-11-16 21:01:00 +0000 UTCEasily the worst officiated game of the year so far
FatAlpert
2024-11-16 20:56:32 +0000 UTCSeriously though. Luck might've been involved but that was as nice as it gets
Karim Q
2024-11-16 20:41:51 +0000 UTCYa know what I never thought about. As I was watching this game I really noticed how much the ENTIRE PLACE is lit up when they take pictures. The flash is insane. Does that impact players?? I can imagine a bright ass flash in my peripherals while I'm going up for a shot might be a little jarring....it might just be the gray court making it worse? I feel like I don't notice it on the normal court but it's like every shot there's that bright flash I can't unsee it now haha.
Nathan Glanzer
2024-11-16 20:27:55 +0000 UTC"So he's gonna have to moonwalk out of that stance." Loooollll
Thomas Carroll
2024-11-16 20:27:10 +0000 UTCIt’s not is IF Steve goes to the end of the bench - it’s exactly what he does. I think it’s because he wants to keep each rotation as unchanged as possible

2024-11-16 20:25:23 +0000 UTCMikal is too physically weak for playoff ball imo
Athletic Alchemy
2024-11-16 20:25:09 +0000 UTCI seen him doing a lot of that with JK too
Athletic Alchemy
2024-11-16 20:21:45 +0000 UTCThe grizzlies play football, no surprise they're always in the hospital all the time themselves
Nyeooooowmmmm
2024-11-16 20:16:00 +0000 UTCMakes sense because thats what he literally does
Athletic Alchemy
2024-11-16 20:15:58 +0000 UTCSteve actually has explained that he does not want to change stable rotations, so he tries to fill empty starting positions from the back end of the roster.

Maksim Petrushin
2024-11-16 20:08:06 +0000 UTCThe Wiggins, Mikal Bridges comparison has been fascinating over the years. In 2022, Wiggins was the better player. For the last 2 years, Mikal was better and no team would trade those assets for Wiggins. Now Wig is on top again.

Kevin Luong
2024-11-16 20:07:25 +0000 UTCThere was a moment when Podz got fouled after he fouled someone (but didn't really foul him). He was talking shit at the line and Hield put his hand out to make him stop. Was a cool little moment to see Buddy actually being a leader out there which is something nobody would have expected from him. Buddy is the ultimate "just play ball" guy. I like him way more than I ever expected to.
Nathan Glanzer
2024-11-16 20:05:21 +0000 UTCFeel bad for Melton. Can't catch a break
