2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Arizona_Sting]

Did you see the half your team for Boogie rumor?

I did. Local radio guy John Gambadoro (who usually has the scoop on the Suns) said they offered a package centered around TJ Warren, Alex Len, Bradon Knight and our 2017 unprotected 1st round pick, with the ability to take on a bad contract from them as well... I think we'd need to throw in one more future 1st or Bender to get it done though.

If they trade for Boogie it would be to reunite Bled and Cousins who are good friends from their Kentucky days. Bled-Book-Boogie would be a nice big 3. Doubt it happens tho.

Pat Riley HIMSELF said that....lol....

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?

Break it done anyway you want, fact is I'm correct.
We had the conversation.
This is the result.

As far as some of your other points, perhaps James should have considered them, but one of his objectives was to stick it to Gilbert as much as he could, which I also easily predicted.

So, he got himself and his posse every available dollar.
That's fine, but then live with the results of it vs whining like a little c unt and blaming the front office.

you cant do math obviously

Kyrie/Love/LeBron- if those were the ONLY 3 guys on your roster- make a combined 70M.

Durant got 26- a "max contract"

Curry is only at 12M because he couldnt stay healthy when he signed a 4 year deal. Thats why they talked about the Durant signing as fluky.

dont let the facts get in the way of some good bullshit though huh? LOL........i seriously cant believe your inability to understand basic math.

the fact of the matter is

in the 4 years LeBron was with the Heat- the Heat averaged 8th (8.25 to be exact) in the league in payroll.

In the 3 years LeBron has been with the Cavs they have averaged # 1(1.3 to be exact) in payroll in the league.

Arison didnt want to pay up. Dan has and will- at historic levels- to match LeBron's historic talent. And thats really what it came down to. Its why one team is in the lotto, the other one just won a title. If it wasnt for Arison being cheap- the Cavs would not have their title. Id thank the guy if i ever met him.

Keep spinning it.
James overpaid his posse and then used the system in place plus figured in the future to grab every nickle for himself

James knew the Warriors cap situation.
Yet, he did what he did.
He gambled what happen wouldnt.
He lost.

Durant and the Warriors jumped on the opportunity.

You keep saying what and why the Cavs cant do anything, but on the otherhand defend LeDouche for crying for more help.

As far as the Heat, you're as usual just plain ignorant.
They were cap screwed from the day they all signed and never had the assests to do anything about it because they never sucked for years to accumulate them.

lol you cant do math

if it was JUST LEBRON IRVING AND LOVE they couldnt have signed Durant...THATS IT.....saying they only had to have a 3 man roster- no cap holds etc.

with JUST THOSE 3

the fact that you cannot comprehend simple math is kind of funny, but at the same time, kind of worries me. lol.

Different answer if James doesnt demand a max.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Damn, what did Chuck and Shaq say on TNT?

I missed it.

 

[bksballer89]

Barkley once again showed he's a bigger man than Lebron. Very impressive

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Ah....man.

Did y'all see that picture of the Kings?

They said Webber looked "sultry ".

.....I'm dead.

I'm not sure I'd call winning an NBA Championship his "worst nightmare" and that "He Lost."

Clippers are such a joke thatthe Warriors are resting players because they got scratched on the shoulder.

Still gonna get stomped by 20.

Sure does suck to root for a joke NBA team.

This discussion is about current and best guess future situations.
The words you are quoting were used in the context of the Warriors getting Durant, James leaving no cap space to add players. Nothing more.


Last summer I said you couldnt fault any prior decisions because they won.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

agree

I agree with it to.

Problem is, its idiotic to take someones words from any post and then use them in a totally unrelated way, which is what he did.

The "worst nightmare" was related to TT's contract. (i.e., last year) Post 10217.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

@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.

The "worst nightmare" was related to TT's contract. (i.e., last year) Post 10217.

Not even close.
It's very clear it relates to the Warriors adding Durant.
Not sure how you got from point A to point B.
