Becky Hammon thing is so weird to me. Small guards don’t win rings. Brunson and Steph (Steph is not “small” either) are outliers (along with Pistons’ IT).
I’d still hesitate to build my team around a small guard. Brunson is just that nice and the Knicks were built really well.
I like ware but why wouldn’t the bucks just keep him, he’s the exact type of player they need post giannis.
Also, if you’re in spo’s doghouse as a rookie why would he be able to play center in the playoffs for us?
With all that said I’d give him picks for him easily
Agreed.
Smart x Kennard playing like 30 minutes combined (in the playoffs) = good
Smart x Kennard playing like 50-60 minutes combined (in the playoffs) = you are outmatched
I know Rui is a sniper but I don’t think he’s the best fit next to Luka & AR. We need to surround them with 2 way players that are athletic and can do all the small things (hustle, rebound, pass, attack the rim, etc). Shooting/spacing is valuable but it’s not the only thing.
I like Kennard and...
I also think they have to take a big at 25. Would be cool with any of the following:
Henry Veesaar
Jayden Quaintance
Chris Cenac Jr
Zuby Ejiofor
Tarris Reed Jr
Joshua Jefferson
Downside of restricted free agency and you’re probably right, but let’s see it happen. Who’s trading for Kessler on a 35-40M salary from a team with a crowded frontcourt? What if they take boozer lol
I just don’t see any better option for the lakers
