I imagine Ball’s assist numbers will skyrocket. Will be an interesting dynamic since LBJ has the ball go through him though.
Which makes me think Ball will not see the rock nearly as much. Plus like T said hes not as good 3 point shooter so how is he gonna score

That's the problem with LeBron. He has to have the ball. He can't coexist with a point who wants to run the offense.

The Bulls dealt with that dilemma eight years ago when they wanted to sign him. They had Derrick Rose at the point. Derrick Rose wanted the ball in his hands. No way Derrick Rose and LeBron James were going to work together.

The Lakers are f*cked.

There's a difference between derrick rose and LeBron. Lebron makes his teammates better. Derrick Rose just wanted to put his down and drive to the basket until his knees were gone. The offense should run through LeBron . He's the best player on the planet

Ball will be traded so it don't matter. He's a bum

I guess. He plays with a pair of 2 guards. Phucks up the glass, but it's produced three NBA titles. Hey, Michael phucked up things, too. You adjust.

Hell, it dont matter. The warriors just signed cousins. Has there ever been a team with 5 all stars? All in the prime of their careers. If cousins is healthy for the playoffs they won't lose a game

I agree that there’s a solid chance he gets shipped somewhere. Wonder if it’s in a deal for Kawhi?
I would be curious to see what pop could do with him. But i don't see popovich letting him and his sideshow dad anywhere near that organization

I'd like to know how GS juggles the numbers. It's virtually impossible to pay that many great players market value at the same time.

They got cousins for dirt cheap. I guess because of the injury

That and deferred money. Teams have to juggle the numbers and players have to be willing. Cousins is a huge get.

They just raised the ceiling last week so teams can stockpile for a few years and pay off the debt later. Raised it by 75 million. Tag that along with the Bird rights they have from great drafting and it becomes unfair almost but you can’t punish them because they were smart.

Yes I think hes an average player in the NBA. I dont think he will ever be an elite player. Question is you think hes a good player?

Of course he is. He’s 20 years old and averaged 7 rebounds and 7 assists a game. As a PG. And as a rookie. That’s remarkable.

As for personalities - he and his dad are douchebags.
