What? Name one big guy in the NBA who can't play defense and can't rebound who I said I like. I'll wait

Should have taken Monk instead of Brad Lohaus. This pick has a Shea McClellin vibe.

Steph Curry

You think Steph is a PF/C? I mean, I guess that fits in with the rest of your nba thoughts.

As I recall you don't think the big man is a valued commodity anyway. Might as well be Steph Curry.

Didn't have to wait long. You love the guy in Denver. Absolutely love him. He couldn't guard a baby stroller.

What the hell are you even talking about? I've never once said big men have no value and I've never once talked up big guys who can't play defense or can't rebound. Those guys are useless. It's ok to admit you talked out of your ass just there and move on.

Unless you wanna keep on going with how the 2x MVP Steph Curry is bad at basketball. Riveting stuff

Jokic is fine defensively and he's a great rebounder. Are you drunk?

He doesn't play any defense. Are you drunk?

He does play defense and he's a lot stronger than this Lauri chick. And he's a great rebounder. Keep trying.

It's funny that you spent this time googling and could only find one article and it agrees with me that jokic is great.

But for the third time, Jokic is a great rebounder.

Keep trying. I'll wait.

It's actually two but I'm sure that you won't find one that says he is "great" or even "good" defensively. He is absolutely terrible defensively and you won't will this one through. He stinks defensively. Mirotic like bad. Good offensively though.

Favorite spin so far is that Dunn just couldn't develop properly playing under a guy like Thibs. Because if there's one coach who's shown a knack for developing young talent in this league, it's definitely "The Mayor!"

:lol:

And yeah, if there's one big knock on Thibs Bulls tenure, it was his inability to get the most out of his PGs.

Yes FF, they are fucked for a couple years, but this is what they really needed to be competitive when LBJ leaves the Eastern conference. Think long term. I'm actually optimistic about the Bulls future going forward.

The fuck are you optimistic about? We don't have one good player to rebuild around.

I really can't stand this trend among sports fans of applauding GMs for simply turning their team into a shitty team with no coherent plan to improve. Raise your standards as a fan.

The bulls a good thing. I know ff wont admit it. But the bulls got rid of tibbs taj and butler now. Time for an honest rebild. But no one will admit it it because i called it years ago. I have a masters in basketball and this academic stuff is really making some people show there asses. Butler never even checked kyrie. Its all a narrative thst this board wants to follow but it has a ton of revisiinist history. If you guys want to really debate this, meet me in the classroom.

No, any long-term thinking has to be tempered by the fact that the same clowns are still running the show. Jimmy leaving may have been a necessary condition for long-term competitiveness but it's a completely insufficient one and far less necessary than Paxson and Forman pissing off for good.
