2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Capela is out for the season? Still football season.....haven't been paying my full attention to the NBA yet.

Nope.

4 weeks minimum.

Dude has been amazing.

He is #3 on my most despised player list, behind Draymond and Smart.

But, even I have to admit, all 3 of those guys are balling and Harden has been every bit as impressive as Westbrook.

Actually, even more so because of the wins and lack of turnovers.

Harden and RW are MVP 1 and 2 right now. Imagine, if OKC had kept those 2 and KD?

I know it's a contract year but he played well for us a few seasons ago. Last season was just weird.

last season was Byron, soooo...

So, the Battle for LA Xmas matchup is gonna look very different with no Blake and maybe no CP3.

[Black Adam]

Agree. Plus, at some point, a team has to play some defense and the Rockets just don't.

Well, sunshine.....I was referring to the Rockets being a surprise team come playoff time. Keep up, babe.

I fucking love Williams....he's on a great deal with the salaries players got last offseason and the ones that will get paid this coming offseason.

Which is part of what makes him valuable to a playoff contender and why I could see him being moved. I'd love for the Lakers to keep him and I think he can be a factor off the bench in a couple of years when they are actually a playoff team.

But if they can get a good return for him, they'd kind of have to move him.

The fact that they don't even pretend makes me giggle.

Trigger Mike has set Harden free....and it's working.

Don't see that being the case in the playoffs.

Lmao get off the cat's nuts. I'm sure he'll appreciate it it...

just messin' with ya...

He's so damn good!

True. How many seasons did he sign for?

Yo Wiggy is Pat Riley still a shitty NBA executive? Just wondering.

right now on 12/23/2016 i wouldnt hire him to be the city dog catcher.

10-15 years ago? sure.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Yeah, I could see trading Williams for a 1st rounder (since we may not have one next draft) and a player.

The Bulls would be perfect.

He is the complete antithesis to Rondo.

And they could really use the shooting.

Ditto for the Bucks.

She's so perverted.....major turn on.

exactly...

he does have value since he is signed for next year at only 8 million.

however- after that- his salary will jump- and he will be 32 when his next contract starts. Where the Lakers are i cant see how paying Lou Williams a significant amt. of money at the age of 32 makes sense.

thats why i think if they can get a late first rounder for him it would be a great move.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Mecca accepted the bet. Lakers vs Clipps on Xmas day!!!!

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Dick move challenging me to a Xmas bet knowing Blake and likely Paul will be out @DJ .

But, I'm in...lol
