2017 NBA Offseason Thread

[True Lakers Fan]

I call BS. You can do it now, you're close to 55-60 aren't you? I'm still just 46 come November 7th.
Yeah - I pull the old man rank some - especially at the restaurants that gives the senior citizens discount at 55 and older - What the hell - 50 cents a day adds up

































I take VISA, MC, EBT or SportsHoopla cash.....plenty of time folks!!!!!!

Phil ate some crow on that one. Suffice it to say, I'd like to say Steph turned out a bit better than those players.

Well, those "players" are actually the same guy. But, yeah, I know what you mean.

Abdul-Rauf is a decent comp, Curry is just about 10 times better. Playing style is pretty similar though.

Man, Lonzo says Up, Fultz says down...lol

I can't wait to see them play.

"I think Kobe is better [than LeBron]." - 76ers Rookie Guard Markelle Fultz

Clearly, the Sixers drafted the smart one.

Nah, Ball named the one that could be his teammate next season. Not so much for Fultz, unless he's aiming for Cube's league...

Well, if Kobe were to unretire, I bet Philly would be his second choice. Maybe Fultz wants to watch Kobe jack 20 shots a game as he Simmons and Embiid stand and watch.

You seen Kobe's recent weight gain? The sixers are more than welcome to him.

His 39 year old fat ass would still be less injury prone than Embiid.

Some great banter/comments on the where will James play next season.

This jumped out at me:

"Did you know that in addition to averaging over 20 points per game while leading all starting centers in made 3s, Lopez allowed a lower field goal percentage at the rim than noted defensive menace Hassan Whiteside?"

Stunned me, really.

Shit still gives me goosebumps!

That was a weird playoffs for them. After having a dominant regular season, they allowed the 37-45 Hawks to take them 7 games then also went 7 in the 2nd round with the Cleveland Lebron's lol

The Lakers could easily be knocking at the 40-win door next season.

They drastically improved at Center and PG positions, added KCP on defence and Ingram looked damn better than last season.

Why not?

I'm thinking 33-35 wins, but also think 36-38 is possible. Not sure about much better than that.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Where is that fat fuck @HurricaneDij39 ?

Still think the pacers will have a better season record than the Lakers?

You're smart

I wouldn't go that.....far.

I say some outlandish shit sometimes, but I like to think I'm fairly realistic.

It's more fun being outlandish than it is being part of the herd.

He is a good rim protector.

But, he is a terrible rebounder and he is awful in pick and roll. Overall he is an average defender at best.
