Hot news from Lakers today. I didn't expected that they will sign this legend's son. Although with some conditions applied.
Lakers sign David Stockton, son of Hall of Fame point guard John Stockton

They sign this to fill their line up. Which means, this kid is just a filler and maybe a third slinger in his spot. Low salary to comply with the salary cap and to avoid luxury tax if the Lakers will have an excess in salary cap.

Who knows what's the real deal with him, He's the son of respected superstar maybe Lakers will use that to add some more hype to this kids name.

The season is almost there and we will see how this franchise improve after acquiring AD and all those supporting cast to balance Lebron's leadership.

Which team do you think Aquaman will be traded?
Rumors here : https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2856419-nba-trade-rumors-thunders-asking-price-for-steven-adams-leak

He will definitely be a good addition in LA Clippers. What do you think about a team built with tight defensive core?
I dont know but I have a strong feeling the LAC will definitely chase this trade.

Same here, I would also like to see him in Clippers. The guy is a workhorse, dependable when it comes to defense, and unselfish. He's still relatively young also. He already played with Paul George before and playing with the other guys shouldn't be a problem.

Thunder might really go on total rebuilding by only keeping CP3?
This man is a monster, though he does not have a soft touch shooting like other big man, but he is good defensively and he always play with some sense of urgency.

They also have Danillo Gallinari. He's pretty good also and can shoot anywhere in the court. So please don't cast him out.

About this trade with aquaman, I guess this would be a good trade with another team without an outstanding center. Probably he can try his skills with GSW. Compare to Willey, he would be the better player. And GS could be great again.

This man is a monster, though he does not have a soft touch shooting like other big man, but he is good defensively and he always play with some sense of urgency.

Ok so here the top 5 rumors where aquaman might land in this coming season :

https://fadeawayworld.net/2019/10/04/nba-rumors-5-best-trade-packages-for-steven-adams/

He will definitely be a good addition in LA Clippers. What do you think about a team built with tight defensive core?
I dont know but I have a strong feeling the LAC will definitely chase this trade.

His experience will definitely help the Clippers to boost their championship chances but the question is, which players they will send in exchange for Aquaman? This Center's salary is a over $20 million, so it's equivalent to 2 to 3 players if he will be traded with young players.

Another question is, who would start as Center for the Clippers, this guy will definitely be a starter with that salary so they can maximize his talents to help the team.

As per the article, this is the people who will the LAC send to trade for Aquaman :
"Trade Package: Mo Harkless, Jerome Robinson, Ivica Zubac, a first-round pick for Steven Adams."

Not bad for the Clippers right? Though they will lost the first rounder pick, but this is worth it and Aquaman will definitely starts at the Center position.
Im not sure about his height, he looks undersized to his position, but not an issue since he knows how to position himself inside from both offensively and defensively. Best of luck to who ever gets him.

Btw, here the list of 5 teams where Aquaman can possibly land : phoenix suns, Sacramento kings, Charlotte hornets, LA clippers, and Boston Celtics. Additional info in the link I provided.

Hey, have you seen James Harden's new move? The one foot step back three? You should definitely watch this one. This would be a major upgrade for him.

Can we even call it a step back? He is basically running on the sidelines and shooting with one leg. It's an unreliable shot and one that should only be taken early in the game or when they are already leading by a huge margin. He can't use that on crucial moments during a game.

I made a comparison in my earlier comment.

Dirk = One-legged fadeaway shot
Harden = One-legged running 3-point shot

What? Of course you can call it a step back. When you're going to peform this shot, you tend to go to the side by using your two step and harden is good at that. How can you say its unreliable, just like you said Dirk Nowitzki is performing a one legged shot just like it. It is possible to hone it to perfect form just like Dirk.

I see his https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/s/stockda01.html.. is not so impressive, he only average 3.3 points but who knows if they see something in this kid to be a good contributor, but let us not expect that he will play longer minutes as for sure their starters will usually play extended minutes due to their weak 2nd unit.

We never know the real intention why they've sign this kid as according to his stats he's not that impressive. And aside from that, The Squad is already full of competitive players, let see if how he will be able to adjust and play together with the starters and superstars of Lakers.

For this kid, The opportunities might be open to bring his own name into stardom.

That's not so relevant, they can sign anyone they one but an unknown player is like something non existent in a team if they didn't show up.
Just like Jerimy Lin, he did not start as a starter and was ever send from different teams, but when the NYK needs him, he showed up and that's why Linsanity was born.

If one of the starters of Lakers will be injured and he needed to fill the shoe, I think he is willing because new players likes to impress the management to get a good salary, whatever his contribution I would still not expect too much.

It's just another practice. Real action is coming in a few days.

It's still a match but you can see their dominance. Hey, have you seen James Harden's new move? The one foot step back three? You should definitely watch this one. This would be a major upgrade for him.

Practically doubling his offense less defense, kidding. Grin

You can barely see someone's dominance in a pre-season game.

I have seen his latest "signature" move and it's more of a shot done on the streets. There have been shots like that in the past but only desperation or beating the buzzer shots.

In the first place, in today's NBA, Centers aren't that much of a used or main focus of a team's offense even in defense. Power Forward's position is now considered as a Center so I don't see any reason why Porzinigis should shift to the Center position. He can do some Center plays while maintaining his key role. Last season, Dwight Powell as a PF plays center for the Mavs and he did well. He can do again the job working on a center position alongside their newly acquired giant Boban Marjanović.

I agree with this. I see Warriors in the past years when they acquire KD and they usually put KD in the paint alongside with Green and Thompson or Igoudala. In my opinion, Porzingis must stay as a PF as the Mavericks have other players for the Center position like Marjanovic and Powell can be a center too. Its better if Porzingis will stay in the PF position because he can also shoot in the perimeter and in the 3 point line too.

On the other games, Brooklyn Nets won against the Sesi Franca 137-89

His story could be like Ingram's.
Lakers may actually need a guy like him. Someone who can slash inside and dish out to AD & Lebron or kick it out to an open shooter.

Probably this kid's gonna play only if the Lakers would have a huge blow out against the opposing team. Ive seen few of his game with the Sacramento Kings and he's like a pass-first point guard. Im not sure but I think he needs to have a good shooting percentage, because his height is really small, and he dont take much jumper in a game the reason why he averaged a low ppg.
I was also thinking, maybe he's a bit pressured due to the fact that his father is an NBA legend.

He can do again the job working on a center position alongside their newly acquired giant Boban Marjanović.

Though he is not that fast but his length should give them advantage in the paint, Luka, Porzingis and Boban playing together, they are a tall but they aren't that fast, I'm also afraid that this will become their vulnerability and teams like the Warriors who's good in fast face game might take advantage to them.

In general, there is no need to become a fast phase team too if it's really lacking on a team. It's already a no surprise that Warriors are playing like that so other teams as well knows that advantage by the Warriors.

Instead of Maverick will force to become a fast phase team too, allow their players to work on their comfort zone and turned it into an advantage. Doncic, Barea, Seth Curry can do the quick phase in terms of offense and defense. It's not about matching the Warriors ability totally but if they were able to stop the fast phase game by the Warriors, they have a chance to win.

For reference, Mavs and Warriors are 1-1 head to head last season. (119-114 Warriors, 126-91 Mavericks). On that 2 games, Warriors are in their complete core lineup. It just means that what you saw as Mavericks' vulnerability does have a solution and they already work for that. Let's just wait for their progress once the season starts.

If they will give good minutes to Boban Marjanović, then I think he will become more effective.

Coming from an injury and a year-long break, not a good idea to just put Kristap Porzingis on a position he is not used to.

Let him work first on his comfort zone as a PF then began changing gears if it's not effective at all but for me, don't change gears. I like him to be on his usual although it will take time.

In the first place, in today's NBA, Centers aren't that much of a used or main focus of a team's offense even in defense. Power Forward's position is now considered as a Center so I don't see any reason why Porzinigis should shift to the Center position. He can do some Center plays while maintaining his key role.
