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.

I'm thinking he deserved a better point guard than WB, but now that he has Paul and it seems he will be traded based on the rumors, I like him to be in a team where he can play his full potential and this guy deserve to win a championship so with Clippers he would surely achieved that.

PG and Kawhi are both unselfish player, I already Imagine how he can benefit that passes when they drive inside the paint.

I don't agree that Kawhi doesn't bring too much hype. Just after the finals, everyone turned in for Raptors but after knowing that he's going to leave the team.
They hype was only after they won the NBA finals but when he first joined the Raptors there was no hype as he was coming from injury that time.
And if you noticed, he start with limited minutes only and he does not usually go with games outside Toronto, and its a wise decision since the Raptors does not struggle to be in the top 8 and in fact they also win a lot of games even without Leonard.
There's still the effect that he brought after the championship.

I didn't said that even after joining the Raptors there's hype already. I've said that after the finals, he turned out to be a hot player to the press and most of the fans started to follow him because on his performance.

There was an interview with James Harden saying that he will have an upgrade this season. I'm guessing that this might be it.

Even though these kind of shots are only made for fun or during HORSE games, i guess he could do it in an actual game and he's practicing this and honing this to excellence.
That's not an upgrade. While I'm not underestimating him to improve his accuracy on that shot, it's not what his team needs to win a championship.

He could learn how to work off the ball. Less dribbles

He's practicing his move just to improve it and help his team and not to win championship. Of course if he improve his game, he can help his team for their goals.

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

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.
Yes, it's not so impressive at all but I think Lakers sees something to this kid and in the future, they'll work with him and improve him to contribute to their team. He won't play with the team due to contract but this is a good start for the kid.

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.
I think thought about that, I'm thinking about him on improvement through Lakers hand.

Celtics is impossible, the writers must be crazy to think that Celtics would be willing to send Jaylen Brown, that dude has an amazing future and a great player, why would you send a player that has been drafted by your team and has such an amazing potential for a player we know that is great but don't know if it will work out for the team.

It's not crazy. They just made a theoretical situation but they know it was even 0 chance to happen.

Already read the article what I think you are referring to and all I can say is, not a big deal after all.

Don't take that seriously.

Clippers also already traded their future picks already, they don't have any decent players to send to OKC and there is just not enough pieces to move around to make sense for such a great player.

I think it will be quite difficult to move a player like Adams, dude requires a great deal of picks and great deal of salary cap and no team really needs a non-superstar right now for such a high payment, they would rather use it for something else.

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.

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

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.

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
