will we?

I think it was quite clear that he was the only healthy, serviceable big man during our playoff run.

Put it this way, instead of paying this guy 1 mil a year to start and play 20 minutes a game, we are paying Diop 5 mil to sit at the end of the bench.

We will miss him, the man can play some defense!

Yep thats the biggest reason the Lakers went after him, we really don't have a scrappy defensive big man....add this to Steve Blake and Matt Barnes and the Lakers bench just got pretty nasty.....

I was actually referring more to Bynum (8 rebounds, 1.5 blocks per game) then Gasol (although both could play better defensively) ......Pau averaged 11 boards and almost 2 blocks per game.....although I'm hopeful Drew will continue to progress into a dominant presence in the paint....

      Sorsby and the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.

      I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.

      Freeling got some reps at RT when they gave Moton a rest day--I sorta hope Freeling gets brought along slowly as you describe.  It would be better for him for reasons you provide.  We have a really good problem.
