Campaign Management?"Hhampuz" is the Man

Yeah he is kind of a glue guy not so much the guy you are leaning on with 30 seconds left in the game. Salaries have gotten out of control in every sport. He definitely rely on his defense and grit like Draymond good comparison I never thought of smart like that.

He's the guy who acts like Draymond he keep pushing Tatum and Brown,

he's not really that guy to contribute a lot but as a role player he's one of those who can provide for the team.

They all good again, having back Halford and Canter, its not hard for them to jive since they already know each other, coach only needs to put ..
Schroder and see if he's fit playing with the team.

Marcus Smart has found an economic agreement with the Boston Celtics to continue his adventure in Massachusetts. The guard has signed a four-year extension worth $77.1 million in total, a contract fully guaranteed for its entire duration.
He'll stay in Boston along with stars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown to try to bring the Celtics back to the top of the Eastern Conference. IMO, his defensive approach and grit shown in NBA have made him one of the favorite players of Celtics fans who'll be happy to see him in green until 2026.

Wow. $77 million and is not even branded as one of the great players in the league.
It's like an appreciative contract because of his leadership whenever they play. For me, he is like the Draymond Green of the Celtics team.
That's a good comparison, right? Both rely on hard work on the defensive side and it had been effective.
This is a good deal and I think both ends win. Marcus Smart is happy and so are the Celtics fans and management.

Steph Curry really changed the shooting in NBA. Even those big man follows him.

But you know guys, Steph just improves his own since he can't do something inside. He thinks of a way how can help a team and that is by improving his three-point skills. And the result is great so he will continue doing that.

Changing the league isn't his main purpose on why he shoot threes but it follows through it since his way of helping his team is thru three point shots because its obvious that a three is better than a two points.

Lets face it. He changed the league in terms of shooting. We've seen many big players dominating the paint back in the days and a three point shot is rarely done unlike the current generation where there are teams who are shooting more threes than twos like the Rockets 2018-2019. Many people are doing what he is doing and even I myself is imitating his moves and even his three point shooting and even his stroke of shooting

. That's how big the effect of what Curry has been done in the NBA and in the basketball world.

That's something his specialty I guess even in his high school highlights. From high school I guess he got still the same playing style but I think the way he gets into who he was today is his perseverance to become one of the greatest. No one can deny that he made his legacy already even he's still playing, those threes are just exhilarating.

JaVale McGee!!!
https://www.nba.com/suns/suns-sign-javale-mcgee
Suns just recently signed him in their roster. It adds more energy in the bench. Also, we remember how the Suns were having troubles looking for a back-up for Ayton after Saric was injured. This could be their guy. 3-4 minutes for every quarter just to give Ayton the breather, protect the rim and try to not make any mistakes.
1-year, $5 million. Cool.

That's a good contract in my opinion, Marcus Smart was really very instrumental of Celtics success in the last 2-3 years, it's that he got injured as well that's why he can't perform 100%. But hopefully a healthy Smart then Tatum and Brown can carry the Celtics with the addition of Dennis and Kanter, Celtics looks solid again and for sure will be in the playoffs for contention. Last year was a so-so performance, although they made to the playoffs, they lost an didn't advance.

Facing the Nets with KD and Kyrie, that's really a tough job for them,

But we've seen how Tatum matured and same with Giannis, each year/season that past for him creates him the competitiveness,
They need someone who can dominate inside, a big man like AD that will really help them both from their offense and defense, Boston
needs to free some cap for stars that have that same caliber.

Haters lol. There's no inventor of it. Flopping is effective and many players are doing that.

And who's to blame why flopping is effective? Lebron? Players? No.

You should blame the referees. Flopping will not work if refs can see it clearly. Refs are the worst today, not players. They even make the league soft so you won't see any hard defense now.

It's the league management first before the refs. Grin

Refs are just following orders. If the league is letting the flops slide with just $5000 of fine then refs will somehow bite with players acting like they are Hollywood.
I think this was exaggerated or got worse when Shaq was dominating the paint.
They need a call for an offensive foul because no one can stop him so they use the acting style to sell it to the referees.
Maybe Charles invented it. Cheesy

I remember Shaq spin move always assures Lakers the basket. No one can stop it.

Until these flops are recognized by the refs, and you are right with the go signal of NBA managements, this is an effective way for
each players to get ref attentions, the league becomes so soft after players rehearse with the acting schools Tongue

hahaha, kidding aside
it's been there after the Jordan Era.

I agree Steph has definitely changed the game when it comes to the guard position. His unstoppable shooting, off ball movement and handles separates him from the rest despite his defensive flaws. For the big man of today's NBA, if you're talking about stretch four/centers, then I think most of the credit belongs to Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis, etc. I mean these are big men that can shoot from three that spreads the floor more and still get rebounds, block for their teams.

I don’t think you can give all the credit to Steph. It’s just that kids like him grew up with basketball in a way generations before him didn’t. It’s not uncommon nowadays for parents to start training their kids seriously for sports from before they can walk. Education on training as well as materials have come a long way and I think that’s what we’re witnessing.

Yeah! you are absolutely right about that, back in the days we don't have any basketball school that teaches our young children the basics of dribbling, passing, and shooting. while the old era needs to do it on their own with limited space and time because you can't play all you want especially if you don't own any private space to make your own home court. Right now, almost everyone has their own home court and some good instructor to make them good at a very young age and when they become teenagers, they mosy likely unstoppable.

Flopping is cheating, it's a disrespect to the real essence of competition and I think the organization will have to impose more penalties on floppers as it does not develop a real competition that everyone could just use just to win with no essence of satisfaction.

Glad to see Patrick Beverly traded from the Clippers. His dangerous play to break Booker’s nose in the playoffs has become all too much what you expect from him. He shouldn’t even be in the NBA in my opinion, but I’m glad he’s going to a non-contender to be a backup as opposed to his role on the Clippers.

It surprises me that they trade two veterans for Eric Bledsoe, I guess they value Eric more than Rondo and Bev. Grizzlies already has Ja Morant so I don't know how both Rajon and Pat can fit in their rotation. Although Bledsoe was just a returning Clipper, maybe he can fill the point guard position that will be left by the two veteran. Yeah. Anyhow, let's hear more trade, I'm sure everyone is waiting for the Ben Simmons drama.

Memphis is loaded with guards so provably they will just trade those guys in exchange with more good talents, But actually they can use Rondo as their back up point guard if they can utilize his talent for sure they can give them a good plays, but we don't know what's the real plan by Memphis so let see how those two guys journey on their new team.

Also many are now curious to know about which team can successfully acquired and its interesting to know if he will go on strong teams or on average team only.

Pat Beverly is bringing his style in the Pelicans, lol... in any team that he is playing, it will gain the attention of the fans due to his style of play, I like his defense but sometimes he is too much, he did not anymore think that he can also hurt his opponent, he does not even respect CP3 which was his teammate before.

That's what make him a unique player but unfortunately the game is now changing and many teams now want a player who can produce in both ends so if Pat Beverly can't adopt to the changes maybe he's career will go to end soon the players are now evolving so provably they will pick those guys who are more better than him. I do hope he can provide a good performance to his new team so that he can get minutes there since its really fun to watch Pat doing his dirty works to his opponent.

There will always be a team who will pick him up so long as he plays hard nose defense. He is a little much but honestly the game in the 80s and early 90s was played to that style somewhat. He might go overboard but it's refreshing to see someone play end to end like it's the last game of the playoffs. A lot of these guys don't even know how to play d anymore.

But it seems Lebron though has a long history of flopping that it really stuck in our minds, Lol. Grin

Because he's too strong to others. Even others are hard fouling him, he can withstand it and referees can't see it. That's why he just flop. But his flops are just few compare to others. I watched a video of that.

It was just noticeable and big deal to many because Lebron James has many haters especially during his prime. It was started when he leaves Cavaliers for the first time where he also did some flops but not a big issue to others during that time.

Thanks for saying on a subject I didn't remember!! lol

These days there are a lot of flooping, basically there are some players who are practically "actors" and manage to perfectly stage a move to get the foul!

ps: LeBron was one of them, but I believe that these days he's slowed down a bit in relation to flooping.
A player who can cause an offensive foul on the opposing team is Varejão (ex Cavs and Warriors) and he didn't do much flooping, in my opinion he had a good game iq in this area.

I remember Vlade Divac and Anderson Verajao as well, there are a lot of floppers even in the 80's and 90's. Karl Malone used to flop against Dennis Rodman and exaggerate things.

Another great example is Bill Laimbeer of the Bad Boys Detroit Pistons, just Google "The Laimbeer flop".

Even Manu Ginoblli flops. But it seems Lebron though has a long history of flopping that it really stuck in our minds, Lol. Grin
