It's dumb to speculate on who the best guy is at this point but he clearly landed in the best situation. If he landed on a bad team he might have looked like a rookie chucking 40 shots a game or whatever.
Everyone that has mentioned Giannis Antetokounmpo to Miami:
- Chris Haynes (NBA on Prime)
- Brian Windhorst (ESPN)
- Marc Stein (NBA)
- Jake Fischer (Bleacher Report)
- John Hollinger (Athletic)
- Sam Amick (Athletic)
- Kirk Goldsberry (Ringer)
- Howard Beck (Ringer)
- Bill Simmons (Ringer)
It’s finally time to get your star, Pat.
Two Mock Trades:
A blockbuster three-team deal sends Kings star big man Domontas Sabonis and the 15th overall pick (via Chicago).
Nets send Nic Claxton to Chicago and Terance Mann, a future 1st and two future 2nds to Sacramento.
Nets also consolidate picks, packaging 33 and 43 to Minnesota for the 28th pick
Aaron Gordon- high effort guy willing and able to add value off the ball. Benefits immensely from Jokic created space. Zion- fat, maddeningly incapable of averaging a double double despite tremendous gifts, fat.
AG was a bust in orlando until 25
he was called in defensively to save the generational 1 way center jokic
wemby is a generational defensive center in need of offensive help
its time to call in the bust the save wembys career offensively
he’s also 25 ready to be freed
Vecenie notes the following names have been linked to Brooklyn:
Darius Acuff Jr. (mocked here)
Keaton Wagler
Mikel Brown Jr.
Kingston Flemings
Nate Ament
Aday Mara
How would Nets fans rank those six names in order for Brooklyn?
Bro Hannes Steinbach could be rly fkn good bro only 20 years old… like he’s only gonna move way better & be much more athletic in 2-4 years
If he actually becomes a transition demon bro & just a crazy pick & roller & continues to develop his shot bro….
He’s gonna be insane
Nic Claxton is another starting-level center that will likely be discussed in trade talks as the Nets evaluate the roster this summer.
The Lakers, Clippers, and Hornets are teams worth noting as possible landing spots for the 27-year-old big man.
I guess I’m in the minority but, I’m really not upset about the Knicks whole playoff run.
It’s an all-time run, you simply have to respect how impressive it is.
I think I would be angry or upset if the Brooklyn Nets had been competitive. For example, I am a Bills fan and was LIVID when the Patriots made it back to the Super Bowl.
I simply don’t feel the same way about the Knicks being successful right now due to the fact the Nets are bad and not actively seeking a championship or really even a playoff run for that matter. Hope that makes sense. 🤷♂️
The baseball world needs to understand something important.
Juan Soto isn’t being criticized because he didn’t run out a routine ground ball to second. He’s being criticized because he’s currently the most hated player in the game.
He’s hated because he’s a Met. #lgm
He’s hated because he’s the highest-paid player in the sport. 💰
And yes, he’s hated because he’s Dominican. 🇩🇴
The Mets rotation is not the issue. The Mets “bulk” pitchers have a 2.61 ERA over the last 9 games. Don’t let the Brazoban starts fool you, the problem with Mets is they forget how to hit 4 times a week.
Putting myself in the shoes of a Mets fan I honestly don't think I could be bothered to care. My team is 15 games back of 1st with a negative run differential and the 2nd worst offense in MLB, the 160 ops+ hitter who spent time on the IL with a calf strain gets a pass idrc
He's going to be excellent. He was instantly the alpha on a team that was already stacked, he's a true, highly efficient point, and his vertical and first step are both elite.
Kingston Flemings
- Great mid range shooter
- Great facilitator
- Really good defender
- Really good 3pt shooter especially on more volume
- VERY Athletic
- ^ Extremely quick
- Great at getting paint touches
- Great at collapsing defense
- Great at playing in a system (not bad basketball)
- Great teammate
- High motor
- Unselfish
- 6’2.5 barefoot, not even that short
- ^ DeAaron Fox 6’2 barefoot
Kingston Flemings is basically everything you want in a lead guard. 💯
Only thing people can try to target is his height or low 3pt volume
1. Bigger than Fox & a MUCH better defender
2. Great 3pt shooter just didn’t need to take high volume at Houston. Knows he will take more in the NBA (via interview)
