For the first “Takes of the Day” segment, we’re going over Big Ben’s texts to Bell, the misconceptions with Lillard, the Warriors controversy and Melo. Please read the attached quotes as they’ll help understand my points, and comment your takes below!
. . . . .
1.) Concerning Big Ben’s texts to Le’Veon about coming back to the team, I really think Bell ignoring them was another example of why I would NEVER sign him this offseason as a F/A. The guy is just a flat out self-centered a-hole. Don’t want a guy like that on a rebuilding squad.
. . .
2.) I cant believe people are just jumping on the Dame hype train now that Portland is in second. They forget how amazing he was last season, and this season especially. Dark-horse MVP candidate, and has a very good case for top 10 overall in basketball.
. . .
3.) With the Warriors, I’m focused on two things. First and foremost, this is another example of how Curry is the most valuable player in the league; team falls apart w/out his leadership. Second, I think the Dubs execs are clearly favoring KD over Dray, and they’ll regret it. Call me crazy, but losing Dray will show more as he fits into the Warriors culture much better than KD – who’s self-centered and more concerned about this summer. Losing Dray will be a bigger loss. Mark my words.
. . .
4.) I truly think it’s time for Melo to accept his role as a sharpshooter off the bench. He needs to get Prime Melo out of his head, and take advantage of a chance to be on a playoff team immediately like Golden State or Boston.
