Meanwhile in Big Baller business... https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/2018/06/22/lavar-balls-junior-basketball-association-debuts-small-crowd/725086002/ Quote At the debut of LaVar Ball’s new professional basketball league Thursday night, he gave trophies and high fives to the special needs children who competed at halftime of the league’s two featured games. On Thursday night they darkened the upper half of the 11,089-seat Citizens Business Bank Arena and the place still looked less than a quarter full. (Mind you, the arena is located less than a 20-minute drive from Chino Hills, where the Ball family enjoys its most ardent fan base.) The small crowd on opening night suggested something else: The quality of play will not justify the ticket prices or support the apparent business model — 64 players getting $3,000 a month — even with LaVar’s larger-than-life personality. DG, they'll be at the ShoWare Center on Sunday. $40. Edited June 22, 2018 by dfwabel Pic added 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

who do you think 125 Posted June 23, 2018 13 hours ago, dfwabel said: Hey, trading Gasol got Shareef Abdur-Rahim in his prime! y'all just did nothing with him, as you would've with Gasol as their numbers are damn near equal. He was never any good. It's not a coincidence that every team Abdur-Rahim played major minutes for was terrible. Just another generic forward putting up numbers because someone had to. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cardsblues02 674 Posted June 23, 2018 T Young absolutely sucks. Not athletic enough for the game. You hear the comparisons to Curry. Young is immature and isn’t even close to what Curry was when he came out of college. Young is overhyped as hell, thanks to ESPN. He’ll be a bust. Bad pick Atlanta. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Travis Schlenk was a talent evaluation guy with the Warriors, so he's betting on his ability to create Warriors East. Young isn't overhyped, he far exceeded his Freshman expectations and Lon Kruger opens practice during the season to ANYBODY, thus everyone can see a player's game. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not buying the Trae hype either, but FWIW he is also much younger than Curry was when he was drafted. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
floydnimrod 240 Posted June 24, 2018 Where was Trae after December? Trae averaged 26 points, and 7.5 points per game after December. Yes, his turnovers jumped by two per game. Then again, he was playing against tougher competition in the second half. He was also 19 years old. Unless you're talking about Oklahoma's W/L record. In that case, as a reminder, basketball is a team game. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Krz 2,048 Posted June 24, 2018 I’m really impressed by the mavs, thought Bamba was definetly going to go to them, but instead they got the best one! Hopefully Doncic makes the relatively good so the hawks don’t get too many benifets next year. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
