Although I like the idea of a Bol Bol on the roster, I'd be considering Hachimura starting at #7, right after White, Culver and the Vandy kid.

I'd be terrified drafting Bol Bol.

I don’t see anything DJS does that we can’t get from Trier and Allen. Clarke or Hunter should be available at six. I’m game.

This idea that Klay is coming back and we need an MRI to tell us he is out for the series is rather hilarious to me.
Other sports, or situations, a player pulls up with a hamstring injury there isn't even a question about if they come back.

Out a few weeks guaranteed. Okay, they're calling it "tightness." I'm not so familiar with this injury. Sounds like complete propaganda and/or wishful thinking from Klay. Even Kerr suggests this:

Quote
“Klay said he'll be fine, but Klay could be half dead and he would say he would be fine,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “We'll see. He pulled his hamstring. He thinks it is minor, so I don't know what that means going forward.”

A hamstring injury is not a twisted ankle. You can't really play through that as far as I gather, but maybe it was VERY mild. Even so, that's going to be something you can be effective playing with at this level? This is basketball not bowling. Folks are out of their minds expecting him to return.

It's "The Finals" so players do whatever they can to find a way to play. I get it.

Yet, he is also a free agent. Actually, this is probably part of the motivation. He's probably planning to get injections (obviously what will happen) over a few games in a row, but the long term impact in his health other teams should take note.

I expect both Thompson and Durant to try in Game 5 - if it is not three games to 1, GS.

Unless as I initially suspected Durant is long gone (not returning) and they just do not wish to say so.

The best player left in the series
« Reply #6128 on: June 03, 2019, 11:00:41 PM »

Is Curry.  If he has a Curry type game in Oracle arena there is no more incendiary weapon.  Make all the two point buckets you like because Steph is out here raining threes.   

But Steph has never been a finals MVP.   Tying his finals fortune to Andre Igoudala and Durant has worked out ok so far.

Kawhi is clearly hobbled.   But does Nurse switch him onto Curry with nothing to lose?

Game 3 winner is the likely series winner in this one.

Kawhi guards the pick guy.  Then he can switch to Curry on the PNR.

No sense changing that plan because your offense didnt work in Game 2.

DSJ for the 6th pick.

I need a flowchart for this.

Are we getting Kyrie/Kemba? If not, I'd prefer DSJ.

If so, we want to trade DSJ. But are we trading for Anthony Davis? If not, I'd first explore what DSJ+Knox+Ntilikina can bring back in terms of a player more ready to contribute on the Kyrie/Durant (presuming he is also here) timeline.

If we are trading for Davis, question is if NOLA prefers DSJ or the 6th pick. I'd prefer DSJ, were I them.

RJ's AAU coach
« Reply #6131 on: June 03, 2019, 11:36:21 PM »

“He’ll go anywhere because he’s a winner,” Washington told The Athletic. “He would like to go to New York because New York has No. 3. If Atlanta had 3 and the Knicks had No. 7, he wouldn’t want to go 7. “RJ wants New York because they’re No. 3 right now. He thinks he’s getting picked third. Why would RJ want to go anywhere below No. 3? He’s a competitor. I’m sure RJ would love to go No. 1, but he knows he can’t because Zion is a unicorn and deserves everything. He’s amazing and a great kid, and I’m so happy he got to play with Zion because that might be one of the top five players he’ll ever play with in his career. Playing with Zion benefited RJ, and we would do it again tomorrow and the next day and every day after that.”
