I like the rockets chances of being a good half court offense. Doesn’t have to be pnr but I like amen as a roller. Lob threat downhill force off the bounce n solid playmaker in short roll. Using KD gravity as pnr ball handler w Sengun/amen should open up even more space in the short roll making them better. Lastly KD as a pick n pop screener is dangerous esp w some1 like amen trying to get downhill off it
Grizz have a ton of draft cap to upgrade tho. Developmental yr. Open up space for guys let em get better decide who you like n boost trade value of others
From day 1 of the Luka trade I said I thought the real return of this trade would be a younger generational prospect.
I thought they’d get there by trading ad n ky n tanking for next yrs draft. Instead those two got injured same result. But I still think an AD trade is coming. Eventually kyrie too. Replenish draft stash n bring back some guys in coopers timeline.
One more tank yr
KD's health throughout the year will be a wildcard! The Spurs WILL make a blockbuster at the NBA deadline and shock the NBA world!!! HAWKS vs SPURS …NBA finals!!!!!!!!
I cannot fathom getting paid to talk about the nba and having Keldon Johnson starting for the spurs. You aren’t serious people.
I’m high on spurs. Bold prediction, top 6 in the west.
I think fox castle bryant n harper will shoot it well enough
Im guessing they start:
Fox
Castle
Vassell
Barnes
Wemby
Fox has shot it well in previous years. Vassell Barnes n Wemby shoot it. N I think castle will knock down open c&s looks to the point to you have to guard it by the end of the year.
Off the bench if I’m going:
Harper (I think will shoot it)
Champagne (can shoot it)
Johnson
Bryant (I think will shoot it)
Kornet
DFS should not be starting
