Philly would be stacked with Lebron but it's kind of a weird fit. I get that we have Ant and Lamelo, but the rest of our better players are pretty low usage guys (or can be low usage and be effective). Philly has two guys with 35+ usage rates (really high), Maxey with an almost 30 usage rate and...

He did about as well vs. Ohio State with a significantly worse supporting cast as the Heisman winning #1 pick in the draft Fernando Mendoza.

Not a bad signing for a league minimum depth piece. Statistically, he isn't much different than Rui. Rui is a better shooter. Lyles is a much better rebounder and more versatile defender. Lyles is two years older. Lyles is also big enough to get some run at small ball 5.

It's hard for me to get to a list of 10 players who are all better than Kobe. The strange thing to me is that I think the younger generations kind of underappreciate Shaq. He was the best player on those teams and the most dominant player in the era between MJ and Lebron.

I think we are going with lineups of C and shooters/cutters or twin towers. I don't expect to see hardly any traditional PFs on the court next season.

Because he accounted for 36 TDs in the SEC last year on a team with no running game and very pedestrian WRs.

I'd rather just sign Enrique Freeman than add Bagley. I believe the main 4 we end up adding will be more of a stretch 4.

It didn't work out well for Payton with the Lakers. It did work out well for him with the Heat though. He won a title in 2006. But generally, I agree with your point.

Jimmy Butler's games have to come under a microscope. The middleman who was indicted is his good friend Ernesto Plascencia. This could get real ugly for the NBA.

In pounds?

It takes a lot for me to compliment Reusse. This was an awesome column.

If you are constantly punching other men in the balls, you will definitely gain some level of infamy.

If that's how they view it, it's an even worse assessment than I originally thought. If he thinks we are done shaping our roster, he is naive. If he doesn't think we have the pieces to add front court depth, he doesn't understand the NBA.

Keep an eye on Kuzma. Milwaukee has no need for him. He is a stretch 4. He also used to date Tyler Herro's current baby mama. It's an awkward fit for Milwaukee now. Myles Turner might also be available - he was bad last year but he probably wouldn't cost a lot.

I'm saying that advanced defensive analytics are skewed for everyone - including Randle and Garza. I agree with you that Naz is a better defender than them. I am just saying that if we replaced Naz's minutes with Garza that would have less of an impact than replacing Conley/Clark/Hyland's...
