    Well, if they end up with Melo, McDermott probably becomes a scorer off the bench for them, right? I think he could be great in that role.

    Totally agree. Great pick. At worst they have the best front line the league in 2-3 years. no, at worst Embiid becomes Greg Oden and Nerlens Noel doesn't develop an offensive game and ends up being Omer Asik with good hands (who would be a good player, but not part of the best front line in the league) Embiid is a much better player than Oden. Much better athlete and far more polished game. Oden had/has no jumper or moves around the basket. He was pure power. Noel is a far better athlete than Asik. His ceiling is Tyson Chandler and his floor Tyrus Thomas. Your comparisons make no sense. He becomes Oden if his injuries keep him from ever making an impact... not saying it will happen, but big guys with back and foot injuries don't have great track records... the human body just doesn't work like that. And Asik probably was a bad comparison, I just thought of the first defense-only big man I could think of that actually has some talent.

    It's 4 I thought? First 2 years guaranteed and then 2 team option years follow that. but then he's a restricted free agent and they get him if they want him

    that was a beautiful counter, too bad Bedoya was the one trying to finish... and what an effort by Lahm to get back
  7. Rex Buckingham
    I would Jurgen won't do it, but I'd love to see him throw Julian Green in there for JJ just to say, he's ours

    should we remove Jones now? possible concussion... playing on yellow...
  9. Rex Buckingham
    Portugal goal! CR7 may have saved our bacon
  10. Rex Buckingham
    That is seriously heartbreaking... Cameron just had such an awful night
  11. Rex Buckingham
    and how the heck do you blow the final whistle there?
  12. Rex Buckingham
    edit: 5 minutes of stoppage time just screwed us over
  13. Rex Buckingham
    and Howard made the save anyway... (so what if they may have stopped really playing first)
  14. Rex Buckingham
    Deuce!
  15. Rex Buckingham
    get up Nani
  16. Rex Buckingham
    got some speed coming in... this is why Yedlin was brought here
  17. Rex Buckingham
    wow, that was a screamer! the Germanicans look pretty great today

    Landon is so stiff, not that I blame him. How awkward must it be to offer commentary on a team that you feel like you should be a part of? Think we'll see any switches at half? Tactically? Personnel?
  19. Rex Buckingham
    Ah, yes. Paired with Rose (who would only need to be 70-80%), Noah, and at least 1 of Butler/Gibson that's easily the best team in the East and likely the league. Simmons - even though his schtick can get old, he does have legit connections (or at least connections to people like Jalen Rose who have legit connections) - could send Boozer + 16 + 19 to Orlando for Afflalo and waivable contracts then Mirotic+MDJ+Snell somewhere to free up money for Melo
  20. Rex Buckingham
    that is thoroughly uninspiring edit: about Conforto
  21. Rex Buckingham
    so let's recap: Carter's goal shouldn't have counted because he was first offisdes then hit it with a high stick Toffoli got a lucky bounce off Handzus right to him with a wide open net Then they bank one right off of Leddy to win it in OT... (And yes, I know Sharp's 2 were kinda lucky, but still... feeling snakebit sucks
  22. Rex Buckingham
    crap
  23. Rex Buckingham
    Yeah Craw! See you in Chicago!
  24. Rex Buckingham
    Patrick Kane is good at hockey!
