2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[trojanfan12]

its a bummer-he was playing his way into maybe even being able to be traded....if he did screw his achilees no way he declines that option. I read he was carried off teh court Lakers vs. Pelicans - Game Recap - November 29, 2016 - ESPN

not usually a good sign....we shall see though.

After the game he was joking around and smack talking with his teammates and was wearing a walking boot rather than being on crutches (Kobe was on crutches after the game when he tore his Achilles) which are good signs.

Hopefully it was just a strain and he'll be back soon. Whether he plays his way into being a tradeable asset or staying on as a contributing part of the team, it's good for the Lakers.

But Purguy said he's done for the season?

Exactly. I've said all along that you blamed the refs. That's the exact opposite of backtracking.

Backtracking is what you have done. You blamed the refs. You even said the NBA agree with you that it was the refs fault and now you are spinning yourself dizzy trying to backtrack and claim you didn't blame the refs.

No i said the NBA made it official that they got the call wrong. Its ok man u are way wrong it happens. its ok we all understand u made a mistake.
That was an ass whopping I just put on Trojan.

yeah hopefully he isnt. I hope I did see it wrong. I hate to see players get hurt.

Any news?

Lonzo Ball is a freaking beast....love this kid. He's getting compared to Jason Kidd. One analyst pointed out he's a better shooter (Kidd's most glaring weakness) than Kidd in college.

Local kidd from Chino Hills, vaguely remember reading a story about the whole family. Dad was an athlete and I think there's 4 boys.

Now that is upsetting. U think the Big Mac falls apart now with out its leader.

I think he would want them to keep fighting strong without him, even though they might not taste the same.

I'm seeing articles about AD to the Bulls or Raptors. Are there actually legit talks of this?

I honestly don't see NOP trading him unless he demands it and I don't know what either of those teams can offer.

yah no way in hell they trade AD i totally agree....absoluely zero reason to- he just signed a long term extension as well.

The articles I saw said

1st rounder, Ross, Carroll and Valicunias

1st rounder, Gibson, Mirotic and Valentine

No clue why Pelicans would do those.

Yeah all terrible deals and as Wiggy said he just signed a long term deal. If his contract was expiring this year or next then it would make some sense
