Luka just turned 24. He isn't peak:roll:

Ryan Miller: Lauri Markkanen has been upgraded to questionable for tomorrow – via Twitter millerjryan

getting healthy finally

They just re-signed Jalen Mills to supposedly take over Devin McCourty's spot. Our CB's are the biggest need on the team arguably. Our number 1 is Jonathan Jones who is more of a mid level number 2, high end number 3. I think Rhamondre Stevenson can be a big work load guy. The thing the Patriots have always had success with, is a pass catching...

Actually, he already did during the 2020 disney bubble.

Every move is defensible with some point of view, but yea...the roster is currently in shambles and while I do think there are some manifestations of Luka/Kyrie that work...I'd imagine Kyrie leaves in the summer and this roster is bare bones. When you have a player as great as Luka, imo, something special is always on the table, but obviously...

He's at his peak already?

One single season, especially one in which a player has been as good as Luka this year, is not going to mean much when your team isn't good enough to do anything noteworthy. However, one fair criticism against Luka might be that he isn't making the team good enough in his time on court. Even if you remove his first year, he only has a +3.7...

Philadelphia: Joel Embiid (right calf tightness), James Harden (left achilles soreness) and Danuel House (right shoulder soreness) are questionable for Monday’s game against Denver. – via Alberto De Roa @ *********

I called the Irving trade horrible. Just because you are 7-8 seed in the West you don’t just make a move to make a move. We could even go back to Porzingus decision being awful. All Mavs had to do was surround Luka +Porzingus with solid role players and they would be top 4 team out West. Let Luka prove at that point if he’s actually great

Getting better won’t mean his numbers do. It’s generally that way with guys who are amazing young. There’s a realistic limit to anyones production. Once you get into that 30ppg range you only go so much further but that doesn’t mean you don’t become more refined. Shaq did 29/13 his second season but got considerably more polished. Jordan similar....

Or...Luka for Wemby and a rebuild...:pimp: Because, man, this roster is even worse than you realize when you look at it...

Yea, I hope Joel gets it because, while I think Jokic was reasonable the last 2 years and would be this year, for Joel to finish 2nd...three straight years, that would suck and you can see it weigh on him. I think most voters likely take it quite seriously and do a good job, but also a lot of group think as well. Philly has a real chance this...

Lebron doesn't play 5 positions as proven by 2 decades of bad teammate fits and chemistry, or point guard stats like hold-time & assisted rate, or imposing spot-up roles like a point guard (reducing teammate assists and increasing their assisted rate/play-finishing) - so all the stats confirm that he has a point guard skillset and no stats...

LeBron was on the bench and played 6 less minutes. Next

Denver, Grizzlies with Warriors having equity if Wiggins returns with a bang.. Lakers are biggest underperforming team ever and they were last year too (preseason favorite missed play-in)

He's 24 actually I personally think Duncan peaked around this age. Same with Kobe. I've always felt #8 was better. What's Luka going to do at 26-27? Average a 35 point triple double? I doubt it. It's within a realistic percentile that this is Luka at his best.

Lebron's abnormall ball-dominance imposes spot-up roles, so teammates like AD, Ingram, Reaves, Wade and Pippen can't play their best game.. It's the story of Lebron's career. a career of bad fits and weak chemistry that underachieves the on-paper talent.. The only time he didn't underachieve the talent was when Mo's all-star spacing...

Pat Bev was a defensive beast. While vanderbilt was a no show. We should have never traded pat bev

And you absolutely HATE it

They don’t need him. He should just keep his bald ass in street clothes

I ranked him top ten currently like way back in January.

Bron was asked about his injury after the game. Said he actually had a torn tendon and declined to have surgery. Healing time would obviously be more than a month. Will be interesting to see how he performs from here on out.

I honestly don't know, brother. It is becoming a bit of a distraction on the Philadelphia side tbh. The ring is the ultimate goal. If this MVP stuff wasn't hanging around Joel would be taking some nights of I'm sure. If they were desperate for wins I'm sure he would still play but the fact is the 3 seed is almost a certainty now. Joel...

ImKobe still continues to vouch for kyrie despite being detrimental to his new team lol.

Is no one going to mention Lebron's 5 turnovers? That record never gettin' broke.

DallAss MavRicks Tanking for Wemby five months too late

Should have stayed out. Came back to make sure the lakers don’t make the playoffs:roll: Letiny just has to be the centre of attention
