Westbrook is a ball hog that is President of Planet Ball Hog. In a way I didn't really blame Durant deep down for leaving OKC for that alone even though I wished he had chosen a different team lol.

Yeah, although the Thunder got messed up once they traded Harden away.

Westbrook is a ball dominant guy......He's a force..You don't want him standing in the corner like Kevin Love with the Cavs

That wouldn't be the case, once Ball gives Westbrook the ball he can then create and do whatever he wants. Just make Westbrook the first option in your Offense and I don't see the problem.

If Westbrook has the ball then ball doesn't. Ball is a facilitator. If he just dribbled it up and hands it to Westbrook which is what Westbrook would demand then Ball is worthlesss.

Harden was always a SG before last season and was just as great, Westbrook can play SG with no problem.

I don't think Westbrook could be SG at all. One, he wouldn't have the ball in his hands. And two, he's not a good shooter

:thinking: Did the Knicks draft another Frédéric Weis? Phil loves these foreign-born players. I never heard of this guy. He may be good but was he the best player available? 

He passed on a lot of guys..

I'm reading this guy is ready to play, though...Mathias Lessort?

Turner is going to have to guard some 4s..

..but they wouldn't play together all the time.....Big Al is not greased lightning up and down the floor

Anything is possible but Turner has proven he can't guard 4s. You need a stud defender rebounder protector for Myles at the 4. Collins is that if we go big imo.

He's a great scorer though, Kobe didn't shoot a high % but played SG and was a Top 5 player of all-time. With Ball at Point he could facilitate to Westbrook or PG or whoever.

Turner hasn't proven anything permanently in 2 years...He's just 21...

He's not big enough to be a pure '5'

...

but you're missing the point.....Allen is a solid prospect and we need 2 centers

Plus Allen and Turner know each other and might work well together

If he's good, he'll probably get traded away, just like Porzingis.

I would hate to be a Bulls fan about now. I thought being a Pacers fan is bad but I have no idea what that organization is doing.

Just wait til you see the Pacers pick. You'll change your mind

You really just used Kobe Bryant as an example for Russell Westbrook?

      Report: 2024 Schedule drops May 15.

      I’m hoping we play the Vikings in October or November, so I can attend.

      2025 Mock Draft

      By OhioColt · Posted

      Both Flacco and Ehlinger are free agents.  Uncertain about the long list of upcoming QB FAs that we could target next season.  Remember AR is still very raw only played one full season much like Caleb Williams in college with very similar snap count and production.  I do see the Colts looking for potentially two backup replacements but also someone very early in Round 2 as a backup (with strong upside as a starter a must).  Jalen Milroe (Alabama) is my top front-runner and may see his draft stock rise to early Round 1, but right now if he is available to us in Round 2 then he becomes our next Flacco/Minshew.  Either Grayson McCall or KJ Jefferson could be potential draft replacements for Ehlinger.    Right now, can see us next year go Edge again in Round 1.  Both Ebukam and Lewis will be in their 30's and contracts up at the end of 2025.

      I don't know. There's some potential late games. Lions, Steelers, Bills, Dolphins, Packers. Texans for sure

      Agree, feels very late this year.    The NFL teams are preparing schedule release videos as we speak right now!

      Chris Ballard on Pat McAfee Show about the draft

      By VikingsFanInChennai · Posted

      Simmons is someone the NFL and every referee unit continues to have their eye on during every play. The moment he does a big hit (he usually doesn't care about how and where he hits), the league is gonna serve him a 4 game ban. He would spend most of the year suspended, unless he plays by rules which he doesn't seem to want.    Do you think Ballard gets that type of player, with year long availability in question? There's a reason he's available in FA, not because he's waiting, but because only the teams that are okay with his style of play and its consequences will get him before the start of the season. Not sure Colts is that team.
