I don't think you necessarily need multiple superstars (though that sure helps), but you need 1 + an elite team to win it. That was the case for the Pre-durant...

I commented on this right when Kawhi left and the Clips roster started to take shape. He's a great player, but as a wing, he's always had the the luxury...

Would love it to be true, but Duncan Robinson had a coach that believes in giving appropriate minutes to guys earning it . Closer to a true merit system...

We may finally optimize our corner 3's (like the rest of the league does to us) with this guy. In particular, I can see Norm, Thomas, Baynes and OG thriving...

Wall for Westbrook feels like just shuffling things around with no leap from either Wizs or Rockets. Both big contracts aged north of 30 for 3 more seasons....

Clips still don't have good quality guard play, so I think it'll be tough for them to beat the Lakers or even Denver. Ibaka will help, but without a point...

You're likely right on the starting 5, and possibly on the closing 5 as well (with that maybe changing game to game depending on who the opposing C is)....

I have a soft spot for players like Rondae. A likeable, hard working dude that made it to NBA through grit, despite limitations on the floor. His moniker...

This video is probably one of the broader compilation of Thomas's highlights before he joined us. In 16mins it shows he's got
--A surprisingly tight...

That's what makes most sense to me. There's a built-in system involving the NBA, the NBPA, and the actual courts. Let them get to the bottom of it and...

And let's not forget, he can actually put the ball in the hoop every now and then, which will require someone from the other team to guard him. Baynes...

Nice. Looks to have a neat midrange shot too, which is kind of a lost art in young players. He probably won't crack the rotation this year, but later...

[inthepaint]

Well, if they don't have to worry about it, why should we then? Not directing this question specifically at you but, wondering why is it that we have...

An RR Icon returns...



...For the win!...

Heat doesn't have cap space for him anymore though, right? Bam's deal eat into their next year's cap, so looks like if they were to get Giannis it would...

[inthepaint]

Yep. And as a bonus, Beal is gettable if you're truly willing to flip some of the roster while the value still there and we haven't gone from champion...

Every strategy has advantages and drawbacks. If one can't never see the upside of what the team is doing, then it's perpetual frustration and they may...

Just looked it up. Standardized per 36minutes:
Rebounds: Serge 11, Baynes 9.1, Gasol 8.5
Points : Serge 20.5, Baynes 18.5, Gasol 1...

The lowish rebounds is because of the low minutes. Per 36 he averaged over 10 boards per game every year of his career , except his rookie year and last...

Great signing - Baynes is a good physical presence in the paint, can be a good pick and roll target and can create good space in the paint by either directly...
