Watching 1st take right now and they are talking about CP3 saying Bron should come to Houston. I think if he leaves that is what will happen. Not LA or NY for a rebuilding team. Houston needs some help to do this. Capela is likely to get a near max to max offer. Ryan Anderson will be on the books still for 20.4 and Eric Gordon is due 13.5. Ariza is a UFA.

It will be interesting to see if Cleveland is willing to help Bron leave them again. Their only other recourse might be to let someone else help Houston. Phoenix is said to be a early Capela suitor already. If Bron leaves and the Cavs do not get anyone in return, we will probably not get their pick next year.

Exactly. I want Lebron to win the title. He will be so tired that Cavs regular season record might fall to 20-25th pick next year. It won’t be a lottery pick either way..it won’t be 11-14 no way. I’ll cash the 20-25 pick in though I don’t care.

Regarding this owner vs GM thing...

 

Some floating rumors that Vlade wants Doncic and Vivek wants Bagley? True or BS..

Either way..Doncic won’t last to 3rd. No way. Too much hype. He will go 1 or 2 imo

I don't see a lot of BS coming out of the Kings camp. I do not think they are 100% sold on Doncic yet. The Suns are a little torn but I think Ayton is their man.

Possible but here is NO WAY Doncic is passed up if Vlade has a say imo.

I am not buying the playoffs no matter who we draft unless Dennis gets his shit together; or we trade/draft a PG as well. Doncic is not a PG. At best he is a big SG or average size SF.

We still need a PG to produce even with Doncic.

Doncic is a PG

If it was not for who the Suns hired as their coach; Doncic would not be a whisper in their camp. I still think it is Ayton for them all day long.

No he is not. At best he is a point small forward or point shooting guard. We still need a PG to depend on at times even if we let him handle the ball like a Durant, Bron, or Jimmy Butler.

Agreed on Doncic.  He's a playmaking forward a la Hedo Turkoglu and/or Evan Turner. (yuck, #EZPassLane)

Manu Ginobli is another somewhat fair comparison. Doncic should be a better passer but Manu was really great at getting to the rim at will in his younger days.

I’d like to say which people do this but don’t need a ban....

That reminds me of a "conversation" I had at Walmart one time. There was a guy in a heated argument at the customer service counter and then he suddenly pulled a gun out of a bag and shot it into the air. Turns out it was a defective toy gun he was trying to return. Then he turns to me, clearly uncomfortable, and he says, "It ain't real and it don't even work!" *nervous smile* "They don't f***ing know how to make anything anymore! *smile and shake head to feign agreement* "And now they won't give me a f***ing refund!" *please stop talking to me*

He left before whatever security they had available could escort him out. Not very exciting, sorry.

I don't see it. Manu was an athletic, creative guard and Doncic is more of a forward. I think Doncic can be a better Gallo, which is a helluva player

I made the comparison mainly because Manu brought the ball up quite a lot when he was running the second team and the offense started with him. I expect a lot of that with Doncic as well.
