Demarcus cousins in the wind if Dwight don’t wanna play

Crazy....either basketball coming back next month or we might not see the NBA again for a very very long time

On paper, without context, yea.

But mfers that followed that season all know Russ didnt deserve that MVP

Harden deserved that MVP. He averaged close to a triple double himself, lead the league in assists per game, 2nd in points per game and helped a team who was 8th in the western conference the year before be 3rd in the western conference the following season.

James Harden had more of a gripe for losing MVP that season than he did last season when Giannis won MVP in my opinion

I’m not penalizing I’m saying Dwight carried more

6 other players ( besides Dwight) on that Magic roster that played 50+ games averaged double digit points per game. While on the Bulls that season you had 4 guys in total (including Rose) who scored in double figures per game. Rose was the main threat offensively for that Bulls team and eventhough he had good help in Deng and Boozer they went as Rose did.

Dwight was great that year and deserved all the attention he got but the beauty of that Magic team is the way their offense had multiple guys who could do damage on any given night while playing really good defense.

The funny thing about that season is The Bulls had a better regular season record while having the better offensive and DEFENSIVE (best in the league that season) rating of the two teams.

Nah he’s skinny

Idk if this is a good thing or bad thing how the hell is he supposed to guard any other big man like this? Do they plan on moving him to the 4? I am happy for his weightloss but I don't understand the direction

I dont want to turn this shit into jokes but Melos whole shit is funny to me. Spent 2 years trying to get back in the league and hes in the lets sit out camp.

It makes sense cause Melos quietly been on the social justice tip for a while but just funny.

Because he's a real one for the most part,that's a crazy sacrifice like dam he's been shitted on for two years to comeback succeed with a injury riddled team then boom world explodes past demic extreme social unrest, then the opportunity comes to get back in the game and he chooses to fight for what's right

You know he can workout and bulk up right? He got over a full month before he’s playing in games

the way he lost weight he can't do that in a month he could of balanced his previous weight issue for that he looks like a small sf now, instead of a decent sized starting center, he will still have the same strength but he's going to be pushed around easily, for instance i just dropped 50+ but i have the same strength but now my wife can pick me up........

I wish he said something different because every player who steped foot in the NBA especially in his fucking era gained that opportunity from jump and for this nigga to fix his mouth to say that at the end of his career is absurd to me

“It depends on the playoffs,” an Eastern Conference executive said. “[Losing in the] first round, Brett is gone for sure. Conference finals? He may get to stay. I think ownership/management is most likely to fire Brett and keep the core together than do anything significant with the roster.”

Brett Brown,

Nine ways these playoffs could wildly reshape the NBA

A supermax for Giannis, LeBron's legacy and the future of the league itself are just some of the things at stake when -- and if -- the season resumes.

It’s easier Getting his body to look similar to Adebayo’s than to look like Enes Kanter

also Jokic don’t need to bang to be successful for The nuggets..

every center has to a little bit he looks like he cant do it all all no more, i remember when klove lost all that weight and couldn't back down klay thompson

1. Less pain on the joints
2. More mobility
3. Increased Stamina (Remember that OT playoff
4. Allows for more versatility on D

I feel like you’re knocking him too much because they still have training camps in a month from now

you’re telling me he can’t add Weight and muscle between now and July 30?

Yea but that weight loss helped him defend Curry on that 3pt shot to help them win

A slimmer Joker will be just fine.
