A blind man could predict that.

Yeah when it's that obvious. You asked who's going to win it all and I told you.

It's like predicting the Ws to win the title when they got Durant...not as obvious as that but the Clippers are the best team.

Last year of his deal.

If healthy, he's worth the roll of the dice...

If you don't have to give up much to get him, like you stated.

Sure, but a trade for his $18.5M final year is impossible.

 

[shopson67]

Horrible? Not so sure I'd go that far. Could have found someone better with hindsight, sure, but based on draft rankings they could have done a lot worse, too.

I wanted Barnes when the pick was made.

Could've asked this Syracuse fan and I could've told you it was a ridiculous reach to take him that high. He should've stayed in college longer.

Yeah only 2 games in. You forgot about Paul George? lol...they have the same team but swapped out SGA for Kawhi and Gallo for George. I think those are two HUGE upgrades. Their depth looks amazing. Hard to see anyone knocking them out but it's a long season and shit happens.

LAST NIGHT, they had the same team but swapped out SGA for Kawhi. How many points did Paul George have last night?

I was specifically saying that their first team games were against teams that are dealing with major changes to their rosters. The Clippers were not.

The Clippers are the favorites to win the title for a reason. But they are not overwhelming favorites for a reason as well.

 

[shopson67]

Not much of a fan if you don't refer to your own team as "we".

...or you're completely overboard in your fandom that you can't disassociate yourself from a team that cares absolutely nothing about you lol.

 

[shopson67]

It's an expiring deal....you just prove you don't understand the game (and/or what your own team needs) if you wouldn't want him on LA.

You're an idiot if you think the Lakers have $18.5M in players to give the Cavs for a partial season rental of a role player. You just don't understand the game...or the cap lol.

How did DLo and Steph play together?

IMO, not great. Feels like they're still trying to figure it out, but right now it looks a bit disjointed. There's potential to figure it out, but overall I'm not sure they'll ever maximize their talents together. Feels like CP3/Harden on offense. Both guys on paper have the talent to make it work, just something seems to be missing.

 

[dtgold88]

What was I wrong about?

Well, you did call me out twice for the alarming reference when I had already admitted the error.

3rd time's a charm if you'd like to try again.

Ok that's fair. But barring major injury they probably win the title.

You do know that Green has averaged 14.0 a game previously in his career right? That was on a team without Kevin Durant too.

Green needs to up his volume more than anything. He scored 11 points last night, but on 6 shot attempts. That FGA per game needs to be closer to 10.

I do know that.....I also know he was at best the 3rd option on offense and even then teams dared him to shoot.

Nah, already won this round

So what option is he on a team with Steph and D'Lo instead of Steph and Klay?

 

[dtgold88]

That's very interesting. Of course, the Cavs will never actually be contenders again but keep hoping!

Never's a long time, but don't disagree it might not happen again where I can remember it.

curious.....before the current GS run and the Cavs most recent, has GS been much more successful as a franchise? At least since you have cared?

Through 2 games sure.

 

[dtgold88]

Could've asked this Syracuse fan and I could've told you it was a ridiculous reach to take him that high. He should've stayed in college longer.

If you care about reaches then more foolish to take the guys you probably think they should have taken.....who were often projected to go after Waiters.

 

[dtgold88]

You're an idiot if you think the Lakers have $18.5M in players to give the Cavs for a partial season rental of a role player. You just don't understand the game...or the cap lol.

That's great....but you claimed they'd be doing the Cavs a favor by taking him. You were clueless. You wont admit it. Rinse, repeat.

And since I've said repeatedly its next to impossible to make a deal with LA I was probably aware it's not happening. Only fool here is the one who thinks he couldn't help LA.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Ok that's fair. But barring major injury they probably win the title.

Still just as good as a super team with that depth. Their title will only go up...so PG does matter, he matters a lot

 

[flyerhawk]

Ok that's fair. But barring major injury they probably win the title.

I would say they are the best team right now.

If I were to between the Clippers and the field, I take the field.

I put their chances of winning the title at around 40-45%.

 

[dtgold88]

Nah, already won this round

you get a medal or monument for your fake efforts?

 

[dtgold88]

3rd.
