But on a brighter note, gonna get NBA League Pass and watch 28 teams play this season. If there was the time, that's 2,298 games to watch. Unfortunately, can't get LA games though they have some fucked up contract with Spectrum

I hope Darvin Ham can pull off miracles, wanna see this team at least make the playoffs this upcoming season

I learned a lot from him about the game and that was just through casual study. He understood how to win and exactly what it took. Understood that it was a team game and to win you had to play it right and be there for your teammates, and sacrifice. A mastermind. And probably the greatest defender of all time, arguably. He wrote the book on domination

I really like Trae, but even with his numbers, he really let me down last season. Hopefully he pulls his head out of his ass this year.

Jokes on us..... motherfucker is making more money for looking like a pussy and riding the bench than we'll make in our lifetimes. I seriously dunno how somebody didn't murder him by now with what he's trying to pull, rich people are the shadiest of all and you're in New Jersey stealing money.

Wanna sub to my twitch?
 
What this tells me is that this season is literally pour everything in or bust. If LAL are giving up THT who is a rising star, only 21 and looking like he'll be a star by age 25, for Pat Bev...

We get a little more experience and toughness with Beverly, but man...I really do not like this trade

Their lead point guard Cade Cunningham is a beast, he'll be a sophomore this season. Saddiq Bey is a promising young talent as well, keep an eye on him if you watch any games. Probably the best big on the squad is Isaiah Stewart or Bojan Bogdanovic at this point, and apparently Stewart wants to let threes fly this season so he might be a dangerous player to be guarding if he can hit them at a decent clip, dude is strong as fuck in the paint so seeing him shoot well too would make Detroit capable of many surprises. I see a ton of talent and skilled players across the roster but I don't think they'll grab many more than 22-25 wins this season, ceiling being maybe 33 games if they make a great trade at some point in the season and acquire a great player. Everything will hinge on the success of Cunningham, Bey, and Stewart as the core. Bogdanovic is a pro's pro so he'll be a strong asset for sure but he's getting up there in age. Dwayne Casey is a great coach though so I'm interested in how he'll have this team running, I'll be keeping an eye out but I can't say he has the greatest roster to work with just yet. They're in rebuilding mode currently but in a couple years they might become a tough team to face, it really depends on their core of Cade, Saddiq, Isaiah and how they develop as players

Patty Mills has been there for a while. Plus Delly & Ingles.

Fair enough but averaging what 8 pts a game? and lol at Dellavedova he'd be lucky to get any game time.

Simmons is the second most famous Aussie ever....Bogut is first after that there is little to talk about.

Kyrie Irving was born in Melbourne and is a dual citizen. He's one of us!

Luc Longley would be ahead of Simmons.
 
Say what you like but Australia has some ballers out there. Some real talent. Also BBB haha

But seriously though, Delly has my respect for life. I've played to the point of exhaustion and sickness on the court before (chiefly this is caused by relentless defense) and Matthew Dellavedova's efforts in the 2014-2015 NBA Finals remain burned into my memory. That dude put his life on the line for the game. Put it all on the line for the win for his teammates, himself, fans and wound up in the hospital b/c he exerted himself past his physical limits. Nothing but respect for that guy
