Yeah... and all your embedded tweets of Barry's really prove that out... [Reply]

Yea, open things up more for MJ by surrounding MJ with modern day 3 point shooters or give the shooters open looks...
Haha I can’t wait for these games next year. Ja is going to ****ing go off after having to watch the end of that series from the sideline. I don’t think many people outside of GS fans really think anything about Klay’s comments. There isn’t a front office in this league that wouldn’t take Jaren over Klay on their team right now. Sure he can have the last laugh, because Steph carried him to another title, but c’mon…no one thinks current Klay Thompson should be running his mouth to anyone right now after getting carried like he did.

Those should be fun games for sure. In regards to Klay\JJJ, a 2019 healthy Klay is no comparison to JJJ and every team would take Klay over JJJ. Let's give Klay a healthy off season to see if he can become that player again as usually it is the 2nd year where players return to form after a serious knee injury.
Klay even said himself he had an up and down Finals but he was the 3rd leading scorer avg 17 pts and a + 1.2. When the Grizzles needed JJJ in Game 6 he was a no show with 12 pts and -12. [Reply]

They get guys and the guys get better and better and better. Their staff has had a TON of turnover, due to their success, with Kerr representing an incredible constant.

Jaren isn’t a superstar by any means and is one of the most frustrating players to watch at times when he forgets his size and tries to play like a point guard like he did in that game 6. Without the magical time machine, though, it’s an obvious choice to make of which player brings more upside to a franchise right now. I’ll take the “bum” all day over the washed up side piece.

LOL. I gotta say I’m pretty impressed with his post game pods. If the Chiefs did this I’d be much much MUCH worse than Simmons.

Yeah, literally anybody could have had Wiggins. [Reply]
