Bill Simmons parting ways with ESPN

 

Finally?

[Skywise316 211]

No I understood. I just don't think you can say "he should get 8-10" and "He's probably worth 12-14" and not imply "the magic should consider giving him 12-14"

 

I said what I said, I'm not implying that whatsoever.

 

Let me make it simple for you. I think he'll outplay his next contract and provide value where ever he ends up, especially compared to the other free agents.

Watching the playoffs two truths are clear:

 

1. Without killer outside shooting we are going nowhere (miss you JJ!)

 

2. Without killer interior defense we are going nowhere

 

One of these needs to be addressed in a big way in the draft (warming to Mario?), and one needs to be addressed in a big way in free agency or via trade.

This completely. There isn't one team left that doesn't excel in at least one of those areas.

 

Grizz: Good Interior Defense, capable from deep

 

Bulls: Good Interior Defense, capable from deep

 

Warriors: Elite from Deep

 

Clippers: Good interior Defense, good from deep

 

Hawks: Good from deep and solid interior D

 

Wizards: Solid interior D and good from deep

 

Rockets: Good interior D and good from Deep

 

Cavs: Good from deep and Lebron

 

We completely don't have either.

after the coaching change, we were very good at keeping people out of the paint. Mostly because we sat frye and went with dedmond. In contrast, we gave up more threes.

Anyone see Thibs coming to Orlando and an enigmatic guy like Noah following him home to Florida. He could fill our 4 spot very well. Noah is a guy who isn't following money and I could see him wanting to follow Thibs. His connection to Fl is just another factor. Just a thought.

the more thibs wins, the more its seems hard for me to believe he comes. The bulls are my pick, and have been my pick, to come out the east. I dont think the bulls fire thibs, if he goes to the finals.

Not sure if we'd want Noah. Guy is a shell of his former self.

Exactly. And he wouldn't exactly be cheap

I dunno man, anytime you can get a center averaging 5.2 ppg on 39/0/18 shooting in 31 mpg for less than 12 million per year you gotta take him.
