I agree. I guess they put him in last night whenever Calderon was in to hide him defensively.

Awful against Philly. Good against PHX and LAL.

Does the Oladipo signing seem premature to anyone else?

Couldn't they have waited at least a month or two into the season to see how things went?

A month even seems too early, unless the thunder are capped out next year and I didn't realize it, this seems like a terrible time to get a deal done.

Why sign him or ADAMS at all and lose your flexibility next year though? Say OKC overachieves and Blake gets a hankering to go back home, now they can't do it because they will not have space. Why not take advantage of ADAMS and Dipos low cap holds?

Maybe I'm missing something, but I'm struggling to find the benefit to signing them now.

They got Oladipo for 21M less than the max, per Royce Young. He was likely getting more next summer.

And that should be fine even if he gets the max. Saving Bennett money should not be the goal here, and signing those two effectively takes them out of the running for any type of free agent next year.

Seems awfully cheap to me. Why not wait, try to get Blake or whomever, then go over the cap and sign those guys to a little more money?

I guess Adams is getting 100M before midnight. 4M less than the max.

We can lol olds, but no one has done it since him, sooooo... still a pretty great achievement.

Russ and Lebron (if he wanted to) are really the contenders.

yeah, like mullen said pace/mp were a huge factor there. slowest team in the league averaged ~123 possessions per game in 1961-62 (year robertson averaged 30.8 pts/ 11.4 ast/ 12.5 reb). granted these estimates may be off but that's 20% more possessions per game than the fastest team last year (kings were at 100 poss per 48)

If you adjust for pace with the 70's, there are still no players that'd average a tripledouble after Robertson

stop trying to hate on olds all the time

I don't think 3D court projections for the pre-game intros will ever stop being cool.

Unless I'm misunderstanding this post, this is factually incorrect.

Haven't watched many Denver games in recent history/last year but man, Jokic is legit.

Haralabob said he's pretty much done talking about NBA on Twitter. I always wondered why he was so open with his thoughts, but that kind of sucks.

think he's talking just per game, but that's kinda the point. robertson's per game rate stats had more bulk opportunities than many other players pro-rated stats. citing/compare triple double stats in the typical manner doesn't make much sense. talking pretty simple math here. also framing it as an assault on players of byegone eras is meh (not that that doesn't happen)
