like I said, he plays when he wants to play. But you cant have a guy like that be the focal point of a team, because it subliminally makes everyone else act like that. And they might not have the same level of talent to make up for it. See: Allen Iverson.

and Tyreke is the real deal man Chester, PA is almost never talked about because there really isnt anything to talk about but it is worse than Philly id say. And people from Philly and Chester hate each other for the most part

but their bball team is always real good, go figure
 
i can understand your feelings about bynum, but as someone who only cares about a humorous side story, bynum is great

hey don't knock chester, i'm not one to get literally lucky with going to bars and having it end in a one night stand. but almost a year ago today it happened at a bar in ardmore, the girl lived in an isolated and safe area of chester, but yeah, i drove down a few streets that made my nervious

you might have sold me on tyreke, i mean i'm guilty of overhyping players just cause i like them, but even if you're overhyping him, chances are he's better than i expected

good, i hope him, demarcus cousins and someone not yet in the league leads seattle to a future championship

imo the highlight of philly hoops in since 2000 was that st.joes team with delonte and jameer, that team was sick and st.joes has never come close to that level again, and pretty sure it's cause of that team phil martelli will never be fired.....i def feel like he should have been fired by now, it's been years since they relevancy lol
 
he's prob gonna be a free agent soon, if I'm the Sixers I'd seriously consider trading Evan Turner for anything, letting bynum walk and save that money for Tyreke in a year or two. Just to watch him and Jrue Holliday play together would be sick. He's like a weird position though in that he's not really a point guard but he plays better with the ball in his hands. He's basically Evan Turner but actually with #2 pick talent. But I think it would work because look at how Miami turned out with Lebron and Dwade.

Not to say Jrue and Tyreke are gonna be as good as either of those guys, but you never know and it would be awesome as shit to watch. Tyreke obviously has loyalty to his family I think he'd come to Philly in a heartbeat if they offered him a decent deal.

I just dont want him to waste away in Sacramento and be another Chris Webber though

idk if he's fully ambidextrous but that thing about the duct tape his brother talked about seemed like it would be a sick training regimen.

either way, that spin move is just damn near impossible to stop and if he gets around the rim it almost always goes in

sorry to pile on here but this vid has some good clips

if tyreke's potential is anything like you make it out to be

evan turner doesn't exactly qualify as potential trade bait

his fate as a former #2 overall is comparable to marvin williams

not a bad player, just not what anyone hoped for
 
thats why I say for anything, they already shot themselves in the foot with the bynum trade

I'm just looking at like 3-4 seasons from now, which you have to do in the NBA

I just hope they dont get rid of jrue to make up for the draft pick they wasted

or the worst fate of singing andrew bynum to a huge deal
 
What about Nick Young shim? I love me some tyreke, but they need a solid 4 or 5 instead of bynum and Hawes.
God damn, I wish the Kings would fold and come back home to KC where they originated. We have an amazing arena just waiting for an NBA or NHL team, but both leagues are incapable of expansion. Relocation takes like 5 years even.

Btw, Evans reminds me of a tiny small forward that has handle like a mofo. He's definitely not a point, or a 2, but he doesn't lock down and play off the block or set many picks like a forward would though. Instant offense for sure. I think he needs a good mentor, the thugs out in Sac arent doing anything to grow his game while he constantly breaks his body down.
 
Nobody has any effort on the Sixers and Nick Young is the 2nd biggest offender. He has some talent no doubt, but he reminds me of a Lou Williams type in that he'll always be one of the better guys off the bench, just not a starter.

And as far as the pf and c positions go, idk how it could get much worse than what we have now.

Id be willing to sacrifice a season or two to make that happen, I think Jrue and Tyreke would dominate other teams PG and SG respectively because of their size and speed.

And thats the best part about Tyreke, he can cover anyone in the 1-3 position and you can move him around based off what you need at that point in time.

He reminds me a little of Iguodala but more flashy
 
Yeah he is similar to AI2 just a little more flashy and explosive like you said. Philly is currently in the lottery right? Do you know of any centers they could draft? It's not like they are DC, rebuilding won't take much more than 2 seasons as long as they keep jrue.

Maybe they can get Smith from ATL without a max deal, and draft a good 4 or 5 to be a consistent 5-6 spot in the post season. Doug Colin's won't last though, so they better pick someone up to whoop them into shape. Maybe Van Gundy or Nare McMillan?
 
they dont have a 1st round pick because of Bynum trade. Miami has their pick this year but its lottery protected

hence my hatred of andrew bynum and those fake ass promotions they ran

although b/c it is lotto protected that means they would keep this years pick and just differ the pick until they arent in the lotto basically.

I'd be cool with Cody zeller tbh
 
^ white guys can't make it in the league unless the are enforcers like Psycho T or spot up shooters. Maybe there is a big man hiding in the draft, I just don't follow college ball much.
Bynum has always been over rated, he may have a highly developed offensive game but he never put in the work for defense, youve gotta want that shit and box out until you ate the only one next to the cup. But take my words with a grain of salt, I'm a Dwight Howard fan and will be for life.

Man I'm starting to get frustrated with Houston, they haven't even given Terrence Jones a minute oman NBA floor yet, and he was the hardest working best defender at UK last year. Why use a #16 pick and leave him in the D-league.
 
Eh what about Kevin Love or even a guy like Nick Vucevic (who was on the sixers) like if you can just get a solid player at pf or c this year id be cool with that. Spencer Hawes does nothing for me, guy thinks he can hit any shot on the floor and the other team usually lets him just take stupid shots and grab the rebound because th guy whos supposed to be hitting the boards for the sixers is still fading away from that ill advised 12-15 footer he just took.

Lavoy Allen is decent, but again, cant see him becoming much more than a good bench player, kind of like Brandon Bass but without as good of a shot. He played KG pretty well in last years playoffs, but until he develops a little more I wouldnt mark him as a starter yet.

And the rest of the guys are just Kwame Browns of the world so no point discussing them, that name says it all.

Yeah, Cody Zeller would look pretty damn good just to have some hustle on the roster.
 
Klove is special, he's gigantic but can actually knock down those corner 18-footers. Most white guys are just hustle, which is an underrated part of playing ball. Seller would be good for you guys, but you need a star. Not just a roster full of bench players. Hell, even DC is more stacked than Philly, they just have the worst organization in the league.
They need to go back to being the bullets, that would be sick.
 
I'd take john wall over jrue holliday 10/10 times but not by much. Like I said, if I could have everything operate in a vacuum their lineup two years from now would be

PG- Jrue Holliday
SG- Tyreke Evans
SF- Thaddeus Young
PF- Lavoy Allen
C- Cody Zeller

and the pf and c positions are subject to change but I feel like that backcourt would make so many plays as long as the frontcourt can do standing dunks we are good.

they wouldnt be as good as miami for sure, but I didnt think Dallas was better than Miami either, you just need the right guys to get hot (and get cold for the other team).

idk man its easy to plot out perfect situations but that probably wont happen

this is assuming they cut a lot of their current guys too
 
off the top of my head: all white guy NBA team:

1- Deron Williams
2- Klay Thompson
3- Kevin Love
4- Blake Griffin
5- Marc Gasol Joakim Noah

6- Shane Battier

k love should be in the argument for an all-nba team, let alone one as thin as that list tbh

but nba needs to reduce teams and get these guys with A level talent out of D level cities.

You can have A level talent and still not be "the guy" imo because there really isnt any "carry the team on my back" players anymore.

so unless you draft freakishly well (okc) or sign a bunch of star free agents (boston big 3, miami) you aren't going to win anything

That was always Andre Iguodala imo, had A level talent on certain things but just kept trying to be something he wasnt (jump shooter) like youre one of the most athletic dudes in the league drive to the basket, take a foul, wtf are you launching that horrible 3 point shot for.
 
Chris Bosh goes into a slump during the all-star break after Lil Wayne tears into his wife.



Last night, Bosh came out of his slump (12-16 shooting) right after Wayne went into a coma.

Impossible that that's a coincidence.
