2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

This might be a stupid question but what would be the better combo?

KD-Steph

Lebron-AD

Shooting wise...It's KD and Steph.

But, when you add in everything else, defense, rebounding, passing, etc. I'd go with Lebron-AD.

But the margin is very narrow, so it could go either way.

Personally, I wouldn't complain about either pairing on my team. lol

And beat the Warriors on Christmas Day.

James played 20+ minutes in that game.

I know of noone that knocks Woj.



Until now.

I don think Hart, Wagner are included.

Hart, Wagner, Svi, Zubac still left (until the Lakers try to clear cap space over the summer, sigh). I understand chasing the big players, but it's tough to watch these kids develop only to see them cast aside for bigger names.

James played 20+ minutes in that game.

He wasn't in the game during crunch time.

James played 20+ minutes in that game.

Lakers held off the Warriors push after his injury and actually widened the lead without him. It was an impressive win regardless.

translation - "ya got me again, dt, and I cannot refute what you said. We will all follow the unnamed source reports and it will be entertaining, but in the end as evidence in recent deals, they don't have the first clue what will go down".

" You cannot refute me, an unidentified source about the legitimacy of a Woj report, of a unidentified source ."

How the fuck are you not dizzy?

 

[dtgold88]

He probably assumed that giving his heart and health to the team would keep him around. Short-sighted (pun intended), but players will see it that way as well.

OK...but I think most gave him zero chance for getting the money he wanted from the Cs before he was dealt. And, what keeps getting lost here is they did for him exactly what AD wants....a chance to play with Lebron.

I would agree they did him dirty if they traded him with years left on his deal.

You could make millions if you bottled this Shit.

Irrational is deflecting instead of answering direct questions. Anyone is free to disagree with anyone else. What fun would it be if we all agreed?

An example is thinking these insiders really have a clue, then me asking why they didn't report the Kyrie, PG, CP deals before they went down. The reply was deflection.

How many different people have you now had a disagreement w/ in this thread? But let me guess. It's everyone else.

They aren't.

" You cannot refute me, an unidentified source about the legitimacy of a Woj report, of a unidentified source ."

I can refute the validity of his reports. Not to say someone doesn't tell him these things, but they are baseless.....and the facts I used are the big deals that go through Woj didn't report. Imagine that.

You gonna go with an irrelevant GIF/meme as your deflection?

 

[trojanfan12]

This clown is actually saying " Don't believe some guy who makes millions reporting on Sports and believe me some random Dude on the Internet ".


Lmfao

lol

Even worse, it's " believe me, don't believe, literally, the 2 most respected reporters out there".

I mean, if this were literally just about anyone else...sure. But Woj and Shams?

No doubt... still wasn't "the same team"

 

[Mecca]

You think Lebron, AD and garbage is better than AD, Cousins and Holiday? I get Cousins went down, but they didn't look like a contender to get to the WCF last season I don't think.

That said, I'll never rule out Lebron in a series (but I'd say this if they made no trade)

I was never in love with the Cousins/Davis duo.

They kinda occupy the same space.

But, I guess it comes down to...

Is a Cousins and Holiday = To LeBron?

I don't think they are.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Are we going to keep ignoring Marvin Bagley?

I actually liked that pick by the Kings, some didn't like it as much. I knew what he could become bc he was always a beast in 2K. He would get MVP like every year LOL

13 and 7 in 24 minutes. His per 36 numbers are 20 and 10. STUD

 

[shopson67]

No doubt... still wasn't "the same team"

It was for much of the 3rd and all of the 4th quarter.

 

[DJ]

It's also the squad that beat the Thunder and was handling the Rockets until Ball got hurt. Framing small sample sizes can be fun!

Totally.

 

[dtgold88]

How many different people have you now had a disagreement w/ in this thread? But let me guess. It's everyone else.

And all those people and not one can explain why many of the big trades that actually happened were not mentioned ahead of time by the "insiders"

maybe you can help?

Not close. I think Lebron is almost the perfect compliment to AD but we could see. I might be overreacting but I think it is the best combo easily in the NBA.
