2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

[LAD]

Know the rules Draymond

Someone should advise the refs this as well. How in the world is the ball hitting his shoulder after coming out of the basket a delay of game?? SMH

 

[Black Adam]

I wonder if the Lakers buy out IT......he doesn't want to come off the bench.



He's best suited to that IMO.

agreed considering my couch could defend better and he's shorter than my daughter...

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

And I might make Ingram available around draft time.....see what we could get for him.



I don't ever think he'll be a star. Maybe a good player, but not a great one.

You are joking, right?

He probably won't ever be Durant-lite.

But, he sure looks like he could be.

You wanna know why Ingram is so valuable?

Check Paul George's stat line last night and focus on the turnovers.

Ingram is a fantastic ball handler and can get other guys easier looks.

His shot will get better and at worst he's last year in Portland, first year in Charlotte, Batum.

@bksballer89 , @Scapegoat Tony Allen to the Thunder?

Would make a ton of sense with no Roberson.

First buyout, waived player domino falls.

May not make it to the Thunder. He's on a minimum contract, so many teams may be interested that cheaply.

 

[shopson67]

If the Warriors waive Javale McGee I bet the Cavs take a look at adding him.

That's one hole they didn't address - rim protection.

That's been the talk on sports radio around here.
Makes me think there could be some truth to is since the didn't make any moves.

 

[shopson67]

Who's the white player on the Lakers?

Not talking about Walton on the sidelines.

Guessing you don't mean Slopez or Zublocka...

Yeah, no Shit.

The Clippers did this very thing to Billups.

 

[shopson67]

Yeah, no Shit.

The Clippers did this very thing to Billups.

Even if you discount the current non-playoff teams, any of the 6 teams below the Thunder could have interest: Sixers, Heat, Pelicans, Nuggets, Blazers, Pacers. Who couldn't use a defensive guard for depth in a playoff run for a minimum contract?

 

[trojanfan12]

Wow. I've heard those comparisons before and I just don't see quite that level of potential greatness.

Both were one and done in college and 2nd year in the NBA his numbers were much better.

He doesn't have to get to KD's level to be great. He can get to "almost KD level" and still be top 10 or even top 5 in the league.

Nola can't claim him.

76ers .....I don't see it.

Nugz, Blazers....yeah.

Not sure how long Collison is out.

But, I don't think they have a need.

First year in Charlotte, Batum, should be his floor.

15, 6, 6

That ain't bad....

I don't think he will be as good, but his style reminds me of Durant. Call him a poor man's Durant

 

[Shanemansj13]

you and moldy old veterans...

sorry, but this guy imo is just gonna take up space on our roster...

my guess is he's gone by season's end...

He is a great guy, especially locker room guy but he is only good to hit the 3 ball in harbage time. Nothing more lol

 

[bksballer89]

Another one....

@Kold, @DJ, @Shaqdaddy11 , @ChiefsLakers67 , @LAD , @trojanfan12 , @bksballer89 , @gordontrue , @Shanemansj13

The Clippers and Cavs agreed on a trade for Jordan and the Lakers came in and backdoored them according to Windhorst on the Jump.

And Cle went for it...which trade would've been better do you think?

What was the trade?

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Lakers.

They got offense and defense.

Deandre can't help them with the death lineup, which is all that really matters.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

.

What was the trade?

Fatty wouldn't say.

He said they reached agreement with the Clippers twice.

Backed out on both in favor of the Lakers deal.
