tOfficial 2015 NBA Draft/Free Agency Thread

I don't remember the one in '72 too well, I was still shitting my diapers.

I do. I was 10 and begged my parents to let me stay home from a family outing so I could watch game 5 because I knew they were going to clinch it. Then, I couldn't wait to get to the basketball court the next morning so I could pretend I was Gail Goodrich.

I swear, you were probably pissed when they traded Vlade for some high school kid.

I was actually. Before the days of youtube, scouting videos were non-existent in England.

Then they signed Shaq a few days later and I was happy again.

We don't need to worry about being in the playoffs this season. We need to worry about developing the youngsters. Kobe leaves after this year and they are left with only Randle and Clarkson, instead of Russell, Randle and Clarkson.

Nah, I remember that like it was yesterday. I didn't know Kobe was going to be that good (nobody did) but I trusted Jerry W implicitly.

STAY OFF MY LAWN!!!

 

[DJ]

100 on the US

So, are you now saying its championship or bust?

And 10 Finals in a row....?
You must think that somehow they can figure out a way to stop James from aging and while they're at it come up with bionic body parts for 'young' Kyrie.


And little bit of everything excluding any rings except for the couple that James has that have HEAT on them.
Sorry, more karma coming.
Gilbert simply won't be rewarded in the way he hopes.

Well considering they made it to the Finals without 3 starters and two all-stars, it is championship or bust. It wasnt in year one bc they needed time to gel and a rookie coach. The East is improving but the Cavs should be the fav.

Who needs Wes and Ellis when you can have Marco and Rondo?

I totally agree. The Cavs should be the favorite and anything less than winning the title this year would be a dissapointment. Cavs should have a very nice 5 year window to see what they can do. They need to get it done at LEAST 2 times in that 5 year time.

 

[Mecca]

Roy Hibbert to the Los Angeles Clippers.


































Kidding, Mecca!!!

I'm actually desperate enough to be happy if that happens.

He only has 1 year left on his deal.

Seriously, who would have thought that the Kings would have a better Summer than both LA Teams...COMBINED?

The Kings look great on paper.

But, I would pay money to see a NbA version of hardknocks with Boogie, Karl and Rondo...lol

Trainwreck in the making.

 

[Mecca]

Bismack Biyimbo?

Think he'll play for pennies?

He's like a poor mans....

Well, a skid row version of DeAndre two years ago?

 

[purguy12]

wow jordan to the mavs. big pick up. West is going to be super tough.

 

[purguy12]

East cant bring any of these top players over. LBJ will have another walk in the park.

 

[Retroram52]

Well Mecca, the Clips took a major hit when D. Jordon signed with the Mavs. The Clips are now looking for a center. Could be a tough year in Clippersland.

Trainwreck in the making.

A starting lineup of Rondo/Ben/Rudy/WCS/Boogie and bench of DC/Marco/Casspi(if he signs) and maybe a guy like Koufos to be a backup big doesn't sound too bad. GK might go with a smaller starting 5 with Rudy at the 4, but I still like the possibilities. The chances of it blowing up seem to be great, but at least it should be fun to watch! The Kings do need to be on "The Association", it's too good to pass up.

 

[GNG]

These salaries are beyond ANY logic. Shumpert for $10 million? Seriously. Old rich White guys getting a stiffy throwing gobs of money at people whose basketball services don't even remotely value what these "players" are fetching. Unfreakinbelievable!

Welcome to today's NBA.

Hey Mecca, What do you think of the Mavs free agent signings.

Mark Cuban is serious.
