Out of the 8 teams that made their conference semifinals, most of them have starting point guards 6'0' or 6'1"

Kemba 6'0"

Every draft profile of a projected late first round picks have a bunch of negative stuff. It's like Siakam's draft profile, it turned out to be way off....

[inthepaint]

Alright, now it's officially the offseason, we got the mandatory yearly "what about Nando?" post out of the way....

[inthepaint]

That's the ticket. Let FVV get his bag and a starting PG role in a good suiting team somewhere . Draft this kid and save a bunch of $ for Lowry and the...

Here's what I'd like to see for the near future

--Let Fred walk (He's a good player, a good leader and should go get paid on a starting point-guard...

[inthepaint]

You draft talent, and/or and or players with the drive and hunger to turn raw athleticism into talent. Said players may or may not be 'kinda dicks'. Ultimately...

[inthepaint]

Yeah De'Aron Fox, Trae Young and Gilgeous-Alexander are on the path to become the next classic PG's in the league. The other one if of course Doncic,...

[inthepaint]

Yeah Rondo, Dragic and also Chris Paul and Mike Conley are all in that mould, great court awareness, enhancing the game of whoever they're playing with....

[inthepaint]

Yeah Lowry is a bit of a unicorn, he'll be very difficult to replace. He's a classic PG that sees the other 9 players on the floor really well and is...

I know hindsight is 20/20 but man, can you image if 20% of the minutes from each of FVV/Marc/Siakam on that Boston series were alternately redistributed...

[inthepaint]

And Matt Thomas our Duncan Robinson. Instead we had both TD and Thomas riding the pine hard this post-season. Next year will probably be the same, with...

[inthepaint]

Yeah there's a balance to be found on this one. If we let players walk for nothing just to save cap space there's a chance of being like the Knicks situation...

[inthepaint]

Kawhi came via trade, not free agency. You're right in that you certainly need high end talent to win, but there are different ways to generate that on...

[inthepaint]

Yes, that is Masai's challange, the one thing he hasn't done yet. That said, it doesn't mean we're going to suck in the near future if we don't sign one....

[inthepaint]

Here's my take on 2021 free agency: it's not as stacked as it seems. On the first glance it looks like there will be tons of superstatrs up for grabs...

[inthepaint]

Yeah I think it would be one or the other. If Kyle & Siakam can still play at all-star level, you add Beal OR Giannis and you have 3 all star caliber...

[inthepaint]

Sure, but so is the return. Wizs & Hornets are/were in the same tier, and similar predicament: having a lone star player that's barely taking them...

[inthepaint]

Kyrie didn't really work in Boston; they seem to have fit a lot better with Kemba.

I still find it hard to believe that Boston got Kemba...

[inthepaint]

Me too. I feel like TD & Thomas, if given the chance to share more consistent minutes with guys like Lowry & Siakam (when he regains his natural...

We have one in-house with Serge. He was the best rebounder and 3pt shooter on the team last playoffs and typically alter/block a lot of shots at the rim....
