Naija Connection! Usman Garuba 1st round 23rd pick, picked by Houston Rockets. Born in Spain and represents them. Ayo Dosunmu 2nd round 38th pick, picked by the Chicago Bulls. Born in the States. He represented the USA at under 18. I hope he plays for Naija in the future. I'm hoping Charles Bassey gets drafted. He started in Lagos before moving to Kentucky for college and basketball. 15 slots to go. The 2021 NBA Draft list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_NBA_draft 3 Likes |

The Lakers got Westbrook. Great. I expect the Lakers to be top 3 in offensive rating next season. Now let's see how we fill out the roster. We need a centre that can spread the floor, plus a nice 2 guard (bye KCP ) Also, it looks like THT would have a more prominent role next year. Needs to work on his jumper, that's one drawback in his game. I'm already excited for next season. |

Bob Myers and the Warriors are just pissing me off. Can we just get a decent centre FFS? |

SmooshCHN: Make una go for Drummond or jarett Allen i doubt if cavs go wab release JA that guy's got serious prospect... But calm down, so many trades go still occur |
Re: The NBA Begins by joshboo(m): 12:50pm On Jul 30, 2021 |
steady986: I always knew the lakers won't go for cp3 omo the trade dit destroy their age long friendship as cp get serious choko for head..... rooting for the bucks again for next year but i go like see Lakers-brooklyn finals... make all of them sha dey injury free. |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 2:38pm On Jul 30, 2021 |
benji93: Leave Westbrook. It's LeBron and AD you should worry about come playoffs. Westbrook na 3rd option and he knows it |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 2:39pm On Jul 30, 2021 |
joshboo: It's possible they tried. Maybe CP wanted to try again with the Suns, probably extend his contract and get 100m |

steady986: You excited? You should be fasting!! Westbrick about to tear Lakers a new one . They cleared a strong bench to get him. Unless they fill the bench out during the season, this will not work 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 2:44pm On Jul 30, 2021 |
birdman: Lol. That's how you people worried about Giannis' shooting until he lifted the trophy, right in your faces. Instead of you to focus on what he can do. Y'all are acting like Westbrook is the only superstar on the Lakers. |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 2:48pm On Jul 30, 2021 |
The three ball is actually overrated in this league. For two straight years we've seen that you can actually dominate teams and win the chip by being dominant in the paint. Make una no pour sand for my garri abeg. We like our Westbrook like that. 2 Likes |
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 2:51pm On Jul 30, 2021 |
steady986: Superstars with no bench equals no ring. I would take KCP over Westbrook any day. And AD will have his regular injury bug, which will leave the team depleted for stretches. Add to that, Lebron will not be carrying team load in his 18th year, unless he wants to be injured for good. The team as constructed could have won a ring this year, they just needed to stay healthy. Well sha, lets see if Lebron can work his magic and make Westbrook fit 1 Like |

Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 6:44pm On Jul 30, 2021 |
benji93: Leave am. Can Westbrook help a team without being ball dominant? I didnt watch him much on the Wizards, but this is his perennial weakness. |
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 6:54pm On Jul 30, 2021 |
Which team did the best this draft ? I give Houston an A. Picking up a legit big man with a post game by trading future picks to Thunder was a rock solid move. Alperen Sengun flew under the radar because he is in the turkish league, but his skills should translate to the NBA. The game does not favor traditional bigs anymore, but Houston likes to stack talent. Even if it doesnt work out, he will make for a valuable trade. Moery may have left the Rockets, but the brain trust behind our trades appears to have stayed intact |

Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 7:05pm On Jul 30, 2021 |
steady986: I worded it wrong. KCP is a better fit for this team than Russ. Way better fit. You need complementary pieces, not a ball dominant guard with a low FG%. KCP is a spot up sharp shooter. Exactly what you need with AD and Lebron on the floor. If I was going after guards, I would look for a Conley or a Lowry. even a Lonzo Ball. |
Re: The NBA Begins by mattfeuter(m): 7:56pm On Jul 30, 2021 |
birdman: While this is debatable, just like Kuz, KCP is consistently inconsistent. |
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 8:15pm On Jul 30, 2021 |
mattfeuter: yeah, he does disappear for stretches. In any case, if the Lakers dont get to the finals this year, I see a coaching change coming up as well. Once big names arrive on the roster, the coach is immediately on the clock. |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 8:21pm On Jul 30, 2021 |
birdman: And who says we won't play a 2 guard? Westbrook is basically replacing Schroder in this team. Unless you're trying to tell me that Westbrook is a downgrade on Schroder |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 8:23pm On Jul 30, 2021 |
birdman: Of course he would be ball dominant. He's a PG for goodness sake. |
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 11:12pm On Jul 30, 2021 |
steady986: Thats the point my guy. What use is a PG that shoots more than he distributes, if he is shoots 43%, 35% from the 3. If you are the pg distribute. If that is not your strong suit, shoot lights out. Its the worst of both worlds if you cant do either. Just playing hard will not beat Bucks or Nets. I want to see who else they bring on to fill the roster. Everyone is rightly concerned about getting shooters. But they also need to beef uo the defense, especially rim protection. Is derozan still a possibility? That would be a killer starting 4 |
