Kansas Crimson

Everyone has seen lebowski. Great movie. But stealing a line and using it as your own? Lol

Pdub probably wants buddy hield as his starting 2 guard

Oubre doesn't get tired this dude is in shape

Embiid got by with some stuff earlier in the series then gets called for a weak flagrant in OT for swiping down

Wonder if the Suns regret those trades yet. KD sounded good on paper but before that trade they were in the finals with booker, bridges, and Ayton. And very promising young core

And I think you put wayyyy too much stock in metrics. Stars are intriguing to look at. But there's a lot more to basketball than running numbers Yes but you certainly aren’t a basketball savant as we all know so when you spout off about something with confidence it’s like a small child wandering in...

No I agree booker is the other obvious choice at the 2 guard. He might be more polished offensively. But edwards is way more athletic and way tougher. Better leader. Has the toughness and it factor that booker does not Edwards is only 22 and a guy team usa is going to build around for many Olympics ...

I don't hate the idea of starting jrue holiday at the 1 and playing Steph at the 2 either. Jrue would be one of the dudes that would buy into a role. defense and pass first pg. But it's just as likely he's depth and doesn't play much

Edwards is also only 22 and already the best 2 guard in the league. He's kind of the future of team usa basketball. Maybe they bring him in off the bench for energy and athleticism, the way team usa used d wade back in 2012

Yeah Tatum is really good and in his prime. But i don't see LeBron or Durant coming off the bench. Tatum is the forward that'll back them up. I don't see all 3 starting together

There's quite a few guards on the team. One of them will start at the 2, not Tatum. And Edwards is the obvious choice

Tatum would be perfect as a super 6th man with his length and versatility

He might be the 2nd best player on the team being in his prime but you aren't gonna start Tatum over LeBron or Durant, even though he is next in line once those guys retire

I don't think you bring in veterans like Durant, curry, and LeBron if you don't plan on starting them. They are there to lead by example and set the tone

Benching Edward's is insane. I get it's team USA, they are all good, and it's about finding the best lineups. But edwards might be the best player on the roster. He's possibly the most athletic guy in the whole nba, and maybe the most competitive. He's an absolute dog, and his skills have caught up ...

Probably kawhi. Weird situation. They named the initial 11 man roster. Then named him as the 12th. Since them he has missed half the playoff games for the clips

that's the only correct 5

embiid has been playing dirty all series and we all know it

He's casting himself into the villain role

Just saw the Suns have no first round picks from 2025-2030 and no second round picks from 2024-2030. That's not good. Yeah they're fucked. The owe a ton of money to their current dudes too. No draft pics and no financial flexibility, for a team of offensive minded players that didn't gel and don't ...

Trae is good. But not a foundation piece to dream about building around

Yeah I'm not sure why he included Trae in that list. The hawks probably aren't even keeping him much longer. Constantly in trade rumors

If you had to pick one player, age 25 or under, NOT named Luka, to start your franchise, would you pick Ant, Shai, Ja, Trae, or one of the two Tys? On a related noted, the Suns should be embarrassed and fair or not, Vogel should probably be unemployed starting today, but there is pretty much zero c...
