Defensively, we looked strong at times, but there's a ways to go. There's a learning curve the younguns need with the pack line. Offensively, we need to play inside out. When they played zone, we didn't effectively get the ball to the high post. I thought the defense was pretty bad overall. Help de...

How is Arizona feeling about Andrew Jones right now? I don't know but they might be feeling pretty good right now, especially given the Louisville turmoil. But there was a time when it was hoped that he'd be a fall commitment, and since he's likely to announce later, Arizona might not be feeling go...

Wilbekin and Jackson cut. Looks like TJ is making the team. 76ers have to trim one more player, 2 if they claim Ish Smith.

TucsonClip

No kidding. Who would even come off the bench out of that 5 in the scenario they're all here next season or do you give the ball to Jackson and just let him go? that is the starting line-up ive talked off line about it with a few people but Trier at the NBA level is a one and reminds a lot of peopl...

Dont see how Comanche gets minutes this year. He should RS, as Ristic needs as many minutes as humanly possibly with Tarc still on the roster. Between Tarc/Ristic/Smith/Tollefson we have enough guys to cover all the minutes at the 4 and 5. Yep. I saw that someone, maybe it was you, said Ristic need...

TucsonClip

I absolutely don't think Comanche red shirt. As soon as tarc or Anderson or someone goes down with an injury we're stuck with 3 guys to play two spots. Tarc, Anderson, Ristic, Smith and Tollefson. I dont think its a given Comanche red shirts, but we have enough depth to overcome an injury. The conc...

Just a few of my generalized observations after watching the game tonight. Anderson plays like a horse. Strong, busy in the paint. Im liking Tollefson, although this is pretty much the first time I have seen him play. Seems like he has a high basketball IQ. Keeps offensive continuity and the ball mo...

My main theory on scouting is before you write someone off, or before you even begin to focus on the negatives, remind yourself of what the positives are. What can the player do, what is he good at, how does he fit in a certain role? You arent recruiting, drafting or developing a player based on wha...

You mean this USC?

Nevertheless, no one beyond the Cavaliers front office had Bennett pegged as a top-10 pick in that draft – never mind No. 1 overall.

I never was a big Bennett fan, but I find that very difficult to believe. That draft class wasn't exactly highly regarded.

TucsonClip

From the little I have seen of Andrew Jones... I really like him.

TucsonClip

Am I the only one that really likes Fat Burger?

Also, In-N-Out is solid, but definitely not as good as its made out to be. However, I also dont eat McDonalds or any of that shit.

I mainly eat at local burger restaurants. If you come to San Diego, dont miss Hodad's.

TucsonClip

I dont know the contract details yet, but this is still a smart move for both parties. NBA teams can sign up to 20 players, but only have 15 roster spots to give out as early as the end of October (before the season starts). By giving Ashley a partially guaranteed deal, even if he doesnt make the NB...

Technically, Dan Fegan "stole" DJ from the Clippers. He is a close friend with Cuban and is Parsons' agent. He did everything he could to persuade DJ to sign with his "guys".

Suns can now sign Chandler and Aldridge outright. Correction thanks to JMark pointing out my accounting error on the other forum. I was factoring Tucker into that Pistons deal and leaving out Knight's cap hold. I believe Knight's cap hold is 250% which would be around $12 mil. Still within striking...

All people do is rip the guy. He kills every trade, Took on 2 years each of Jason Thompson and Carl Landry, stauskas, a 1st and rights to swap 1sts with kings in 2 other drafts for nothing

Big win for the Clippers as he's slotted for the tax payer's MLE, which means Jordan is re-signing.

Dont think anyone is really that sold on this next draft class and McDonough knew this was his plan when he traded that pick.

Thats a great deal. Right at market value and the Suns have an awesome rotation at C now. Only concern is health between the two.

Suns using Chandler to recruit Aldridge and join them in meeting with him.

Thats a game changer for the Suns.

TucsonClip

Spurs have traded Splitter so they should be in a good position to land Aldridge. It seems like a very robust free agency this year with some crazy numbers being thrown around. The Heat have given Dragic a $90 million, 5 year deal & Anthony Davis has resigned with NO for 5 years $145 million. Wow! ...

Exactly. I thought Olshey would target Plumlee. Not sure thats a great move for the Nets, but a good fit for Rondae. Lionel Hollins will use him properly.

TucsonClip

TucsonClip

Dislike the fit for Rondae.

If they lose LMA, he's going to be asked to do too much. Needs to be on a playoff team where he can play a role and grow overall. Literally any other team in the 20s could have been a good fit.

Rozier and Vaughn back to back are unusual. And Tucsonclip, you're a knowledgeable guy, and I respect your take. This is just an area we disagree. Bucks need someone like Vaughn.

The perpetual tank gets old. Hinkle is keeping his job because they aren't trying to win and he can claim potential, but this needs to come together sometime or another. Who were they supposed to pick instead of Noel or Embiid? Why pass on Okafor? Who were they supposed to sign? Pay MCW next summer...

Great fit for Stanley. Good system, awesome coach, rim protector, floor spacing and a primary shot creator. He'll get minutes, develop as a defender and fits very well with his attack ability in that offense. Gets to play with ex-Wildcat Brandon Jennings. Winslow is falling hard. He won't get past ...

Hinkie is a smart guy. He knnows he needs a star to win anything. He keeps taking BPA in every draft, Okafor was definitely that guy.

The only question is if the Celtics off a big package for him, including Marcus Smart and a few 1sts.

TucsonClip

Yes. And if he can't get as good as he needs in one year, he's got another left to keep working on it. So someone who is ready to play in the NBA at nearly every other skill they have, should return to college to work on their jumper? Completely disagree and so would any scout in regards to RHJ.

Time will tell. The statistics are probably out there as to the typical differences in career earnings between the typical player being picked 25th, 20th, 15th, 10th and so on and my guess is they're pretty stark.

This analysis is why I made the argument a while back the Rondae should probably come back; his jump shot is broken/non-existent. Some made the argument that everyone makes, that he will develop it later. But if he gets picked by a team in the mid 20s, a team that will make the playoffs and will th...

If the Celtics are able to move up tomorrow night, they will have all kinds of ammunition to deal for a perimeter scoring threat to further sway Love.

Stanley Johnson, 6’7” forward, Arizona: “He has the tools to defend at an elite level. Offensively you saw some improvement.

TucsonClip, I'd always seen Russell as a natural 2 who can pass and handle better than most 2's, not as a scoring PG. Maybe that's just my vision, but I think if he's slotted in that role, he needs to be paired with a 2 who is a good distributor, otherwise you get a backcourt that is really ball do...

TucsonClip

To clarify, those were in addition to Stanley and Okafor. Dont know much about any of the foreign players Outside of the left-handed shot, size, and statistical similarities, Russell just screams James Harden 2 to me, so I am not really thinking much of him in terms of defense anyhow. I think he wi...

LeBron deserves a ton of coverage. He just had one of the greatest Finals of all-time (albeit minus the efficiency) and has now lost 4 times.

Thats a pretty big storyline.

Didnt see any posts about it, but been calling for this Lance trade for the Clippers since last year. I like it, solid move, high reward and medium risk. This also opens up trade possibilities for Crawford. I imagine Doc will also put in a call to Brandon Bass and might have an inkling that Pierce w...

Loved Kerr's response defensively in Game 4. Started small so he could switch up top on LeBron and trap when they tried to screen with Delly. Also, LeBron looked gassed most of the game. Credit some to the Warriors defense for making it difficult for him to get into the lane, but they guy looked tir...
