2015-16 NBA Eastern Conference OFFICIAL THREAD

[Black Adam]

hey Wiggy...!

here's your new coat-of-arms...

a bet's a bet, after all...

 

[bksballer89]

Miami with their 15th win of the season. Last season win #15 did not come until January 4th.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Uh, hate to break it to you, but those posts you quoted, proved you wrong, not turnup. They said exactly what he said they did, not what you tried to turn them into.

Exactly.

Wiggy acts as though if he leaves the Heat, it's proving some type of negative point when in reality it further proves the point.
Teams will want him because of the unique skill set he brings, and then hoping his game grows from there.

The Heat have basically 60 days to decide which path to choose as far as trying to keep vs assuming they can't or don't want.

I'd love to see him on the Lakers. Not for max money, but I could see $12-$15 million on a shorter deal with the possibility of giving him a max after that contract ends, if he continues to develop. If they did, I'd hope they'd have him spend some time with Kareem to help develop his offense.

Took the Bulls -3.5. After the Lakers broke my heart by winning I have no faith in the Bulls. I was sure the Bucks -2.5 was as close to a lock as you can get.

They helped me recover from last night quite nicely.

Jordan on the Clippers gets 19 million. Whiteside is worth that because he is a better defender and probably about the same as a rebounder but Whiteside doesn't get the same amount of mpg. Offensively, I'd say they are about the same.

Honestly Sheridan is really reaching here.

I'm not sure why anyone would risk giving up a top player from Whiteside when he is a free agent in July. You would be taking a stupid risk to trade one of your top players for a player who you may just have for 3 or 4 months. The more you think about it the more you realize Sheridan was talking out of his ass

I think the Clippers overpaid for DeAndre. Unfortunately for them, they kind of had to. But now they are in a situation where they have the same team, with the same internal issues that will almost certainly result in them not making the finals and they are paying more for the privilege.

I think he gets more.
The big salary jump comes the following summer, so if someone gives him 18-20 before then, it's not going to look that bad moving forward.

True. Didn't think about the big jump. Still not sure I'd want to go $18-$20 million for him. But maybe if it's a 3 year deal with a team option on year 3.

This.

G-Russell
G-Clarkson
F-Simmons
F-Randle
C-Whiteside

That's a pretty sick young lineup.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I'm being very hopeful on Simmons.....obviously.

That assumes a lot. Specifically that we'd get Simmons in the lottery. Besides, here's a better lineup:

PG - Russell
SG - Clarkson
SF - Durant
PF - Randle
C - Whiteside

Durantula is going to DC. That's the smart money.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I'd love it if Durant came to the Lakers but it's highly improbable. I feel bad for the Thunder.....they have great fans.

It's a real dilemma.
I'm not sure how he's going to handle having that type of cash.
The Heat can at least make an educated guess because they've been around him.
Others teams are just winging it.
