Q:
A:When Lowry was traded away and Dragic signed with the Suns you guys went from two starting quality point guards to none. From an outside perspective it looked like fairly inept managing, what was going on internally during this time. Were you confident you could get Jeremy Lin? Were you rolling the dice?
#2 antwort war:First, I would refer to my #2 answer here. Each move makes sense under this lens. The guaranteed lottery pick we received from Toronto for Lowry is more valuable in acquiring an all-star level player. Dragic wanted a player option (that Phoenix gave him) which greatly harms a players value and will almost always lead us away from #2. A player option essentially guarantees that a team ends up with either a free agent (not valuable) or a player who the league thinks is not valuable and blocks your salary cap flexibility.
We were rolling the dice on getting Jeremy Lin but taking smart risks is what we have to do up and down the roster on every move. As only 1 team out of 30 gets to win, you cannot play it safe. A fund manager who beats more than half his peers and beats the S+P 500 is considered pretty good. We have won more games than we lost the past few years (beaten our peers) despite losing our franchise player Yao Ming and it has been appropriately considered disappointing despite the fact that most teams win around one-third of their games after losing their franchise player. We need to keep taking on more smart risk.
Q:
A:
1. Which team do you view as the most intimidating? Heat, Thunder, or the new powerhouse Lakers?
2. What is your view on the idea that teams need to build rosters with 2+ superstars to succeed? Do you honestly think you can compete for a championship with a roster similar to what you have in place now?
3. I've heard Royce White, a current player of yours, has a major fear of flying. How have you handled this situation, and what will you do in the future when traveling far for away games?
I'm not a Rockets fan (Hawks fan here), but I'd like to say you've compiled one of the more likable teams in the league. Guys like Jeremy Lin, Chandler Parsons and Kevin Martin are not only fun to watch but great people too and I wish you the best of success in this upcoming season.
1.Miami. I have consistently said this since the team was assembled.
You definitely need at least 1 elite player in the top 10-20 of all NBA players (all-star level) to win the championship.
2. There are no counter examples of this. We are not championship contenders right now. All our moves since Yao Ming went down have had the specific goal of acquiring a top level player since that moment. Each change on our team has been designed to acquire players who either have a chance to be an all-star or give us the cap room or trade flexibility to acquire an all-star.
3.Royce White has an issue with anxiety that is more common than people talk about and he has done a good job to bring awareness. It did not affect his ability to fly for games last year and we don't expect it to this year. It certainly did not affect him last year where he was unquestionably one of the top players in the country and the best player on the floor in the Kentucky-Iowa State NCAA tournament game.

Habs grad gemacht, hat soweit alles funktioniert. Hab auch direkt eine eMail von NBA bekommen:
Service Summary
Username: ---
Service: League Pass Regular Season + Playoffs (One-Time)
Price: $139.99 $118.99
Hat mich über Paypal insgesamt 95,65 gekostet.
Wenn ihr auf der NBA-Seite seid, dann wählt als Sprache English aus. Dann steht auch Saison + Playoffs. Bei der deutschen Version steht irgendwie nur NBA Finals dran.

Ne, war einmalig. Kannst dich jetzt immer ganz normal einloggen.
Ja das ist bei mir auch so, aber ich glaube das wird sich noch ändern, wenn es in einem Monat losgeht. Zumindest hoffe ich das, alles andere wäre aber auch irgendwie sinnfrei.
Ist aber auch irgendwie komisch. Wenn du es jetzt wieder auf Deutsch stellst, steht da anstatt League Pass, Abonnieren.
