2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

No Draymond or ZaZa tonight.

That means the opposing teams balls are safe...

for now...

lmfao, after he had already gone to piggy back off D Wade and his multiple rings and thangs.

Just admit it, Kang James is nothing but a fucking front runner, if the Love deal wasn't already in place before he went to Shitland than he would have never of left Miami, he needed everything to absolutely perfect for him to leave because he's all about his legacy (his legacy is now being a ring chasing bitch).

Not sure why you keep saying this. In July of 2013 after Lebron signed -- the biggest rumor was that Love would be traded to the Warriors for Klay. (the Warriors backed away from this a few weeks later) It was six weeks later that the Love - Wiggins trade happened.

 

[Black Adam]

I guess you could have taken my bet before game 7?

How about a bet now for this season?
Ill take Warriors, you can have the other 29 teams.

Ohhhh, I want a piece of this...

what're the terms...?

He signed in July of 2014, not 2013

 

[Black Adam]

do the Warriors have LeBron Raymone James?

BIGGER quesion, do they need him...?

I'm a fan of certain players, in different sports and such.

But it's really sad that grown men (I think these Cavs fans are men), literally worship an athlete, nut hug him every chance they get and would probably jizz themselves if they met him.

Athletes themselves, absolutely hate little fan girls, they'd probably sign their autographs or whatever and then go and talk shit about them two seconds later for being a grown man and acting like a giddy kid.

I could never see myself worshipping an athlete, every time I hang out with any of my friends that are in pro sports, and get to meet other famous people, I treat them like a normal person, like normal grown adults would.

Very weird behavior that goes on here on this forum, it's a tad disturbing honestly. This LeBron23James guy probably has a shrine in his room of LeBron, most likely with hand lotion near every door and stopping point in his home, feel bad for these cretins, tbh.

I took the Cavs last year.

Had Draymond not gone nutcracker, that series was likely over.

They just have to mony weapons.

The Cavs are head and shoulders better than everyone in the East and at least equal, or a smidge better, than the Spurs.

But, the Warriors are full on MonSTARS......It's gonna be a blood bath.

Warriors in 5....as currently constructed, both teams sorta healthy.

* if Wiggy can hedge, so can I *

I can't wait til May/June

Just noticed your avatar, Serena is a goddess, so fit, tight, crispy.

Guess you never read through the old threads here, along with lebron couldn't win without "Pat Riley"...That was the other one that was said often on here

Durant has only done what lebron did in leaving, he needs to now do the "winning" part

Well he's certainly on pace....

 

[larryjohn]

He signed in July of 2014, not 2013

Whoops -- you're right -- I was off by a year. Lebron joined the Cavs on July 11, 2014. Love trade was Aug. 23rd.

I'm just flinging shit and hoping something sticks bud, lmfao, don't mind me, slow day at work.

Well, Magic coming in, means that Jimmy is out, and Magic will take the Jerry Buss approach of bringing a basketball mind in. I will say this however, we have Jerry West's kid in F.O and by all accounts, he's been doing a great job. I'd throw the farm at Jerry west to form a father/son duo. I do wonder what this means for Mitch however

Eric Bledsoe is playing on a whole different level this year.

Yep. On a tear right now

 

[RobToxin]

And the 2017 Wins The Internet Award goes to......

 

[Arizona_Sting]

Yep. On a tear right now

Hate saying this but this may be the best time to trade him. Especially given that we'll almost 100 percent be able to draft one of Fultz, Ball or Smith on Draft Day. His injury history scares me... they could def get a solid young piece and 1st rounder or two in return for him.

@WiggyRuss

Fact or fiction, since you bring up predictions vs reality.

When Cavs signed Tristan many of us here pointed out that moving forward the Cavs would be very limited in adding quality pieces, even when the cap jumped, and that most other teams would?

Your response was, 'they have plenty ( listed the players) and said they wont need to add.

Well, LeBrons worst nightmare apparently happened.

Sometimes the teacher is outdone by the students.

Warriors/Durant made the biggest power move, probably of all time if this core stays together.

Rip Durant all you want.
Lets see who is celebrating in June.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

A potential Ball-Booker backcourt would be lots of fun. Just sayin'

dude...first - you need to get a clue here

if you took Tristans ENTIRE FREAKING SALARY off the payroll....every single dollar- if you convinced him to play for you for a few scratch off lotto tickets and coupons to Wendy's

do you know how much cap room the Cavs would have right now?

ZERO FUCKING DOLLARS.

and its not even close....in order to get cap room to SIGN someone?------

The salary cap is 92 Million.......okay...this isnt going to be difficult math so pay attention.

the salary cap is 92 million---- what would it take to get underneath it to sign someone pretty decent?--- i dunno? 16 million got you Timo Mozgov.

Lets say you could have convinved AL HORFORD- to say- fuck Boston man.....come to Cleveland!!! we cant pay yo uas much- we cant pay you 24 a year- HERE- here is 15 Millioon dollars per year?!! your gonna give up about FORTY MILLION DOLLARS over hte life of your contract- BUT YOU CAN PLAY IWHT BRON BRON!!!!!

the Cavs are at 129M right now. For you math whizzes out there - i know you can do this- but to the mentally challenged ill help ya out 129-92 = 37 million over...

lets bump off Tristans 16- lop it right off the top- hes happy with his lotto tickets and wendys coupons

still 21 million...

so- fuck JR smith- the only reason he is even IN THE LEAGUE is because he switched to LeBrons agent....lets cut his ass too and his 14 million a year

that still has us 7 over the cap

fuck channing frye---- lanky bastard cant do anything but stand there and bury 3's....HE GONE

now we are FINALLY DOWN TO 92 MILLION YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

but wait- the more astute of you see the problem...

we are only AT 92 million---we still need 15 million in order to sign an impact player that is already TAKING A HUGE FREAKING DISCOUNT HE WOULD NEVER FUCKING TAKE!

so- lets cut 15 million more for BIG AL!!!

Shumpert and his 10M- HE GONE......seeya- and get a fucking haircut

need 5 million more......hmmm...whre do we go here...its getting tough....RJ- and his 2 or 3 mill or whatever the hell it is? BUUUUUU BYYEEEE BUUUU BYEEEE

but we still need a couple million more---maybe we could have convinced LBJ to take a home town discount ?!! (HAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA)


so are you finally getting a clue?
