2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Joe Johnson needs to go to Golden St.

I would love to see them snag Vince if he gets bought out.

I would guess he's staying to help mentor the young players the rest of the season.

So the Kings have Brazilian KD(Bruno) to go with the next Steph Curry(Buddy). 2019 NBA champs.

Surprised the Warriors didn't make any moves considering how trash their bench is. Guess they'll find a player on the buyout market

This, plus eventually Jordan Bell comes back. But it's still a problem that Iguodala looks like Father Time finally got him.

So 2 of the 3 Kings draft picks from the 1st round in 2016 are no longer with the team after today.....Really pays to hit on your draft picks and at least draft guys that are solid

Yep I'm not worried about their power rotation off the bench. West and Bell are solid. I'm more concerned about the guards and Iggy.....so basically Swaggy, McCaw, and Iggy.

Joe Johnson would take care of that issue

The only thing about Joe is i don't know how he fits with the Warriors. He is called Iso Joe for a reason lol

If Lebron leaves it won't matter. They'll be in full rebuild and would likely trade Love to get some value. For the time being though, their roster is left in much better shape than it was 24 hours ago. As much as I despise Lebron and the Cavs in general, this trade was an A+ for them. I can't think of one thing they did wrong. Outside of Frye whom was a 4 who could spread the floor; but he wasn't garnering much playing time in his 3rd year there.

Yes, totally agree on all points.

am hoping this is his first choice

Vince needs a ring before he retires. It's a shame he doesn't have one yet.

Livingston is the main guard off the bench though...

Never speak in absolutes until the trade deadline is over. Cleveland has enough to challenge every team in the league now, and actually contend with Golden St (at least make it a closer series).

I think if GS makes 1 good move to improve their bench - say for example a nice two-way player - it becomes the same contest we pretty much saw last year. Even with the upgrades Cle has made. Reason is because GS bench wasn't loser bad, they just need a spark. When you add another two-way player to play with Klay on that 2nd unit that changes everything IMO - especially when we consider KD also plays with that unit.

They also got Bogdan in the trade for Chriss. Chriss is younger and might have a higher ceiling but I'm happy to have Bogdan over him right now. And as far as the picks go, that draft in general sucked. The PapaG pick was questionable from the start(and happened right before Cousins tweeted "lord give me the strength") but looking at all the picks after him there's maybe 5 or 6 guys who have played well. Richardson could still be a solid 3 and D wing even if it's off the bench but Buddy and Bogdan are both ahead on the depth chart. Skal has shown flashes of being good/really good but has not gotten enough PT this year.

Vince Carter??

We'd have another "iggy" situation.

If you add Joe that doesn't have to change because Joe can slide to the 3

 

[msgkings322]

Tell you one thing, Warriors need to come out and destroy the Mavs tonight. Actually a bit of pressure on them.

I mean yea, they need to win tonight. But I'm not worried about them even though they've looked bad on a few of their last games. Hopefully they can recharge during AS break & come back focused for the second half of the season & take that momentum into the post season.

Still need better production from the 2nd guard off the bench though.

Yeah that draft was really bad. Simmons is the only possible superstar. Ingram, Brown, Hield, and Murray all seem to be good players as well but lots of bust
