How would a starting five consisting of super athletic 6'10"+ centers with decent passing skills, and with a couple of them being actual good long range shooters, actually fare?

I think they'd get killed on defense because they'd have problems defending the PnR against quick guards and their spacing can't be that good unless we just made a normal team like 6 inches taller each haha

so like, is thaddeus young a SF? Also if Minny gives up a 1st rounder + mba a moute and shved like reported, it's probably too much. Philly will be stacked though, shved pretty underrated.

Young's best position is as a PF where he has a major speed advantage and can provide some modest floor spacing. He can get bullied occasionally but usually he manages to hold his own. He's also got super quick hands fwiw. While he can play the three, he's not a true perimeter shooter and loses the speed advantage. It limits his strengths.

Not enthused with the final cuts for Team USA. Too many ball stoppers on this team.

Dude it's ok, harden told the news he knows he has to be a defensive anchor since PG got injured.

Jk, the ball is the only player Harden ever managed to stop.

Minny actually got fair value for the superstar.

Somewhat rare to see when a disgruntled star leaves.

Cavs have many years before they need to rebuild again, so all the future prospects can go. Seems like this trade has overshadowed the fact that they still have Kyrie, who's going to be handling the ball more on the outside?

edit: And KLove will statpad the low-post wherever he goes.

Starting perimeter guys are Curry, Irving and Harden. My grandmother with Alzheimer's could run circles around these guys, even if she can't remember where she's going.

For a pg, he used to be fairly good. But who knows after two years. Also, most point guards are basically useless, it's just that Harden is also the worst.

That said, it would still be pretty sad if they lost.

All of that being said, they're still the ultra super lead heavy favorites

Irving has been playing good defense, from the two games I saw. He's pressured the ball very well, which is great when you've got Davis backing you up. Harden is the one barely trying and taking horrible angles.

Honestly, I've liked watching Kyrie on the defensive end more than any of the other PGs.
