hoops.

who’s cooking around the league

[hoops. @HoopersAdvocate]

@KevinOConnor Spurs being undefeated with super poor free throw shooting and no Fox shows how special this team is and Harper already has a complete command of this offense him and Kornet anchoring the bench unit is scary for other teams something special brewing in San Antonio

[hoops. @HoopersAdvocate]

@CPalmore6 @1cameronj AD also had the advantage of LeBron James and a significantly better supporting cast he plays well but to act like it’s one sided and he destroys him is simply not true

[hoops. @HoopersAdvocate]

@MarzTalksSports haven’t heard anyone talk much about Gary in the modern game do you think he would elevate like the other 2 would

[hoops. @HoopersAdvocate]

@spurlgin @1cameronj His team was just below 50% when he played last year while dealing with a midseason coaching change and his blood clots you can look at the defensive on off numbers and see he clearly makes his team better

@dlee4three Everyone should be a Shaedon reuther and Yabu on the Knicks will be so big for them

[hoops. @HoopersAdvocate]

@dlee4three Feels like they have the makeup of a team that tricks everyone.

With how good of a playmaker Trae is it feels like he’s gonna get the offense going for the regular season but if KP gets banged up when playoffs come around the lack of secondary shot creation will bite them

@DCULegion @PSSMKR Sylvester Stallone as Wildcat

[hoops. @HoopersAdvocate]

No troll this pickup is really good good bet for Bronny solid energy and will be the 3rd guard in the rotation behind Luka and AR adds defense to the backcourt and should be okay on offense with the small role that he should have

BREAKING: Marcus Smart has agreed to a contract buyout with the Washington Wizards and intends to sign a two-year, $11 million deal with the Los Angeles Lakers after clearing waivers, sources tell ESPN. A return to a grand stage for the 2022 NBA Defensive Player of the Year.

@Kauderer_Miles Kael Ware should as well i know miami is used to competing for the past 2 decades but the young team building rn is gonna be fun to watch they don’t have the guy to lead them yet but it will be fun

Norman Powell was quietly the clippers best player for a 1/3 of last season he averaged 24.2 on 42.8% from 3pt in the 45 games this season before he went out with an injury that sidelined him for 12 games in mid-February.

[hoops. @HoopersAdvocate]

With Bradley Beal bought out and likely headed to the Clippers he provides tons of fire power the Clips lost in the Norm Powell trade his best days may be behind him but i think most peoples idea of beal soured because of his massive contract with less money the value is there

[hoops. @HoopersAdvocate]

AR15 has also grown as a ball handler able to better make reads on the ball and make timely passes to keep the offense connected. For a third option to be able to give an efficient 20 & 5 and not be a complete cone on defense is a rarity and thats who Austin is.

[hoops. @HoopersAdvocate]

From undrafted to being trusted to take clutch shots with Luka and LeBron on the floor Austin Reaves has come a long way. Jumping from 15.9ppg last year to 20.2ppg this year he is still improving.

[hoops. @HoopersAdvocate]

His off the ball game has been solid and what originally got him playing time with LeBron and AD and it’s helping him continue to be effective next to Luka now that he is around.

[hoops. @HoopersAdvocate]

@JoestarJokic Giannis is so good you can never count them out but Knicks, Cavs, Orlando all immediately feel like better teams then you have Philly, Indy, Miami, Atlanta who feel on the same level for injury concerns or other reasons but I think Bucks finish 7-10 most likely

[hoops. @HoopersAdvocate]

Posting career highs in minutes points steals and assists last season, once he manages to mesh in Miami I can see him helping in the playoff push as they hope to surprise people in a weak east.

[hoops. @HoopersAdvocate]

Norm will fit in to the Heat Culture while providing another consistent scoring option to go to in the half court and not need to rely as heavily on guys like Andrew Wiggins to create their own shot.
