Well, that's all folks! It was great being on here today with so many passionate fans. The league has incredible talent and storylines. We cover them all on our podcast. be sure to check it out 4 days a week on ALLCITY network : https://linktr.ee/allcity_nba

We are trying to give coverage of the entire league and a nuanced analysis of the entire roster/rotation. And we can do that because both Adam and I are WATCHING these games.

No the league is trending toward versatility. Period. They want multi-dimensional bigs who can handle, shoot, and make decisions.

I'm a hoop junkie. What can I say? I love these formats where I can dive into a topic to a far greater degree than I can in a limited spot on live TV. Being more in control of the content and conversation is awesome

Orlando very surprising. OKC to a lesser extent. Indy has been a surprise, although coming back to Earth a bit. And Houston.

freedom of movement offensively, the frequency of the three point shot, acceptance by coaches of quick shots, perimeter based bigs

Yes a few times guys have gotten upset. The irony is that in every case, the player heard about a comment through a 3rd party. And it always gets twisted by one of their "boys" who hits em up like "Man, did you hear what Legler said about you??" and then proceeds to get it all wrong or out of context

Agreed for the most part. It gets very tough at this stage to lead teams across the finish line. KD is still potent enough and has found a place that gives him enough supplemental fire power to take pressure off of him to be the flag bearer every night. These other aging stars aren't on complete enough teams

Chemistry is vastly underrated when looking at the potential success of NBA teams. It's a combination of guys actually liking being around each other AND role definition and acceptance. The top teams on my list this year have it. Nuggets, Celtics, Bucks. Let's see about Suns, Mavericks, T-Wolves.

I'm not sure what the league can do regarding a specific player/ref situation. It's not like they can remove Scott Foster from all Suns games. This has happened before. Joey Crawford and Tim Duncan was a big one. The league just hopes it doesn't surface in a big spot

Hey guys its Tim Legler. Really excited to be on here today answering all of your NBA questions. Hope you are enjoying the All City podcasts with Adam Mares. Let's get this going...
