Tbf, he was more Magic to me than LeBron. He doesn't really need LeBron's aggression (I watched him score 42 against Gobert without Embiid, he has it) although to me with that passed dunk in the playoffs it looks like he's losing his aggression (turning into the FT shooter ever in the playoffs helps). Being Draymond is fine and all but I expected him to be an MVP and no doubt HoF'er like I would've picked him over Embiid 2-3 years ago if I had to start a team but not anymore. I saw him and Dwight with shooters last year. The offense nosedives if you play him with a big together but I don't know. Maybe having a ballhandler like Trae helps but I def. can't see them playing together in the playoffs. Draymond will at least try to shoot to keep defenses honest even if he's not a good one.
As for DJ/Dwight, you certainly have to pair them with someone or a pick to get a shooter. With AD, it doesn't matter if he still can't shoot or defend, which I don't believe will be the case, they just play their best with smallball. You just have to hope for the best that they can make their shots all the time but that's the best compromise that you can have playing Russ. I can't comment on his decision making lol 'cause I used to watch him a lot in HOU and it's the same mistakes I saw as opposed to some games with him playing bad. My worry is his finishing (in addition to his FT shooting). I wasn't angry that much as long as he was efficient on 2s, which he was
Maybe they should've hired MDA as an offensive consultant in the offseason (I know Jeanie Buss still hates him lol). He'd know what to do!
Fuck... Imagine if AD (at his best) was the 5 with Harden and Russ during smallball.
@RobertoTheOharaSurvivor wouldn't have to troll the shit out of me at the end and they could've won the ring similar to when CP3 got hurt in 2018 and he used that reverse psychology shit to think they'd still win :(
Well, it happens lol. They at least destroyed the Bulls by 42 without him playing great so they're still awesome
I can't believe Andrew Wiggins is an all-star starter though lol
Get outta here with that trade LOL
Tbf, I wanted y'all to get Zion in the draft. Y'all (not you) can get obnoxious sometimes, especially during the playoffs with fans in public and fuckin' SAS that I sometimes can't help but laugh at the Knicks but if NO doesn't work out, which it looks to be 'cause of David Griffin, I hope y'all get Zion instead (barring he stays healthy in his career). I still believe the hype that he'll be the best player in the NBA after LeBron & KD if he can just get right with injuries and weight issues

I can't...
Apparently, NOLA is a great city, especially the food according to Perkins & Redick. Maybe he can't help but eat in NOLA so he has to get out of there for his sake
