    Non-shooters gets enough publicity. Shooting comes from confidence. Confidence comes from competence. Competence comes from getting stops and generally not being slower, dumber, and less athletic than your competition.

    How many bad POA defenders that can’t switch onto a fast guard or get close enough to pressure anyone are we going to have?

    How many non-dribblers that can’t catch a ball while running fast or make a pass in a crowd are we going to have..

    CLE In: Holiday + Capela + Tate

    HOU In: Ball + Bryant + Proctor

    Works in Trade Machine... Tate is from Ohio

    I've seen weirder things happen

    Maybe 3-4 years ago, but certainly not now.

    We should sign Ben Simmons too. Imagine that death lineup.
    Ball
    Simmons
    Amen
    Okogie
    Clint
    We could change our name from Clutch City to Brick City.

    Lonzo Ball?

    Are the Rockets going to trade rectal cancer for him?

    Still shoots better from three than Ahhhman Simmons. [​IMG]
    Still better than our big free agent signing we hard capped ourselves for. [​IMG]

    Get off Dori. Decline Lonzo’s $10M TEAM option for next year. (Though not sure why the Cavs would do that.)

    It is surprising how many people you are living rent free in their minds. You are catching stray bullets on the daily.

    This is such a ludicrous rumor. I have to think it’s false.

    You aren't finding the solution you seek.

    No point replacing non-dribblers who can shoot with dribblers who can't shoot. You have simply flipped the problem.


    Lonzo ain't the answer.
