NBA Season 2022-23

[Moranis]

The Heat are also going to reportedly sign Cody Zeller.

Yeah, Miami trying to round out their big rotation with "scrap heap" pick ups.  Their big rotation is going to be:

Adebayo
Love
Zeller

That would be about the same as if all we had was:

Horford
Griffin
Kornet

Maybe not exactly comparable but I think it is close.  We wouldn't be going anywhere if that was our rotation.  I don't think adding Love and Zeller is going to be enough for MIA to elevate to a true contender.  They are going to have to play small.

Except the Miami trio are all better than that Boston trio across the board.  Love and Zeller will add some decent size to their roster.

Yeah, but we also have Timelord, Muscula and Grant Williams, whereas Miami has basically nobody.

Sure, but I was responding to the comparison that was made, not the actual teams. 

And it was also about size.  None of those guys are big.  I mean Grant is 6'6". 

The Heat should get Yurtseven back any day now and their 7 foot 2W guy Robinson has actually played pretty well.  Jovic is also 6'10".  The Heat needed size and they've gotten some with Love and Zeller.  I have no idea if Zeller can still play, but I know Love can.

None of what guys are big?

Roy have you ever seen the antonio brown interpreter twitter handle? I think you would get a kick out of it.

For the sake of disagreeing with a different poster, Moranis is revealing that some end of bench bigs for Miami are 1-2 inches taller than grant Williams, Mike Muscala and Robert Williams.

Yeah, it’s odd to me.  If Timelord isn’t a big, neither is Bam or Kevin Love.  If Muscala isn’t big, then neither is Jovic. 

We get into some weird semantic debate where our only big is Luke Kornet, and Miami’s are a guy who hasn’t played a game all season, and a 2-way player who won’t be eligible for the playoffs.

if you didn't understand the post I was responding to or my post, then you probably shouldn't have responded to it.

Pat Beverley heading to Chicago

That is a waste. He should have gone to a good playoff team. Still a really good player.

I thought he would've been better for LAC than Westbrook.

I’m not sure that anybody can understand calling guys 6’9” and 6’10” not big.

But, reminder:  you don’t get to suggest to me what I should and shouldn’t respond to.  You made an asinine statement.  Own it.

No clue what Moranis point was but I'd say 6'9" or 6'10" is tall but not necessarily big.  ESPN lists
Pokusevski as 7'0" 190 lbs.  That's very tall but a stiff wind could blow him over.

or you didn't understand either post.  Perhaps you should own that instead of responding to something you didn't understand.  Would have saved a whole bunch of time.

Bucks signing Meyers Leonard...

“I’m going to be taking my talents back home,” Beverley said. “It was between Golden State and the Bulls. Obviously, it’s always good to play with a lot of great talent in Golden State, but y’know, a lot of guards over there. So, I figured I could make a playoff push with the Bulls right now, and kinda pop them up a little bit. The east is kinda weak. I’m excited man, I’m excited. I get to take my son to school. I get to take my son and baby girl to school, I get to pick them up, I get to rep my city on my chest.”

“The East is kinda weak.”  Beverly is likely to have some extra time in April to take his kids to school (which is a totally valid reason to choose a city for a couple of months).

Yeah that was weird, but perhaps he was referring to the play-in slots.  Of course when Toronto is 10th, I'm not even sure that is true.

I don't get that either unless he means that the East is top heavy compared to the West.

The Chicago Bulls are expected to waive center Tony Bradley today to clear a roster spot to sign guard Patrick Beverley, sources tell ESPN.

There are still teams in the market for a reserve center and Bradley may end up with a landing spot this season.

Good for him and the Nets.  He seems like a solid coach.

[Goldstar88]

Hate to say it, but his career might be over. At least he got a good contract before being plagued with injury.


Bulls officially shut Lonzo Ball down for the rest of the season

Arturas Karnisovas: “Despite making significant increases in strength and function over the past several months, Bulls guard Lonzo Ball continues to experience performance limiting discomfort during participation in high level basketball-related activities. Considering the required time period to achieve the necessary level of fitness to return-to-play and the current stage of the NBA season, Ball will not return this season. The focus for Ball will continue to be on the resolution of his discomfort and a full return for the 2023-24 season.” – via NBA.com
