2015-16 NBA Eastern Conference OFFICIAL THREAD

You know I think Whiteside is a stud, but the guy is weird.
I'm not sure how he's going to handle that 100M, or whatever he gets.

let's hope it don't go to his head...

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

i do not see Durant tying himself to Wade and Bosh and Dragic AT ALL- especially 2 whole seasons after LeBron moved on because of his concern for their ages. I think it would have been more persuasive to resign Whiteside- let Dragic walk- and try for Durant- but even then I dont see it.

I just think RW/Ibaka is much better, Wall/Beale is much better.

Why is it nobody mentions Golden State as a possible landing spot?

Oh.....because its every other teams worst nightmare.

You can never really count any Team out because a big trade can change everything.

I would say the only Teams that won't be in serious contention are the ones that already have Lebron, Kawhi and Paul George on the roster.

PS. Riley did convince Bron and Bosh to come to Miami....sure' Wade was in his prime then.

But, A team has a chance whenever he is the guy giving the pitch.

id give him a 2 year 50 million dollar deal rather than a 4 year 80 million dollar deal....tons of guys are risks of getting their money and acting fools in the NBA- thats for certain- but as far as the potential for that id put Whiteside WAAAAY up my list of candidates.

Or even 3 years/$70 million, but structure it so that he gets the most money in the 3rd year and that year is team option.

My gut, as of today, says Whiteside will be odd man out, and especially if he doesn't figure out the free throws.

I still say Durant is in play.
Ok City will never win.
If Riley gets him in a meeting room this summer I think we have a great chance to sign him.

Wades contract won't be anywhere near a max type moving forward.
That would create KobeII.

This makes me happy, he'd perfect on the Lakers.

 

[DJ Fieri]

He'd look great in purple and gold and the Lakers are used to centers that can't hit free throws.

Winner, winner, fried chicken dinner!!!

 

[DJ Fieri]

Ibaka is a role player lol. Westbrook is obviously a top 5 offensive player but he's a free agent as well next summer. Wall and Beale is his best option if he's looking for a young tandem.

Bro.....you and I agree on a lot of things but this is silly. Ibaka is a very good PF and not somebody I'd put in the role player category. Now Kris Humphries? Yes.....he's a role player.

 

[bksballer89]

Bucks are 18-31 since trading Brandon Knight lol

 

[bksballer89]

Cleveland defense looks bad tonight

 

[DJ Fieri]

Fucking Cavs. Took them and laid 5 points.

 

[bksballer89]

Pelicans falling apart

 

[bksballer89]

what a collapse

 

[bksballer89]

This is game 3 vs GSW all over again

 

[bksballer89]

Eric Gordon is 7-9 but is nowhere to be found lol. Gentry is a clown

 

[bksballer89]

Somehow New Orleans manage to win

Can't be true.
Forget actual stats and facts.
Wiggy says James is playing less and will be fresh as a daisy for the next handful of years.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Somehow New Orleans manage to win

Lets hope the fatigue of an OT game and getting to Miami in what had to be the middle of the night helps us pull out a victory tonight.
I imagine James will try to pace himself early.
We need to jump on them right out of the gate.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Heat open as a 2 point favorite tonight.
