2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

As long as it's fewer years, taking back a contract almost as bad, would be good.

Don't do it!!!!

He's on the books until 20/20

Omer Asik has least tradeable contract in NBA, website says

 

[WiggyRuss]

Yep.

I was actually thinking NOLA.

But, I'd rather have Mosgov.

Hell, I'd rather have Noah...lol

honestly- id prob. rather have Mozgov over Asik too- mozgov i think moves a little better than Asik....

and noah too- that contract is probably worse than Mozgovs since at least mozgov is usually healthy.

Mecca- i am ALWAYS the one saying NEVER EVER TRADE your star player for 4 quarters....but i would be tempted to put Griffin on the market if you could get a huge offer from the Celtics.

If you could get back Crowder, Jaylen Brown, Rozier, and a non-Brooklyn pick, wouldnt that be tempting as hell?

at least then you have DEPTH and still have CP and Jordan. That team i think would be better off against GSW.

No.

I love Crowder.

Brown has promise.

But, that package is not keeping Paul in Lob City.

In a way, I think the Clippers should just blow it up.

But, it can't be halfway....They need to ship out Blake and Paul and I don't see Doc doing that.

I doubt very seriously that one would resign without the other. So, it's both or neither.

* unless you bring in someone that Paul wants to play with more *

Ps. The fact that the Crowder Clippers would only lose by 29, as opposed to 39, is not reason enough to do it...lol

 

[Bolts]

Apparently making the playoffs will ruin your franchise.

That explains why the Kings have been doing their best to avoid it for the past decade.

But in all seriousness, I'd love to see them make the playoffs even if it leads to a sweep. That said, I have zero faith in the Kings actually making the playoffs over the Nuggets/Blazers. And if the Kings get close but miss the playoffs, they'll almost certainly lose their lottery pick which would be great to have in a draft like this.

i just dont see Paul turning down thedesignated player extension- especially at his age.

was listening to windhorst yesterday on a podcast and he said from his sources around the league that the all the big free aents are expected to stay put.--- even Gordon Heyward who has a lot of links to the Celts and Lakers already is expected to stay in Utah with that 5 year....Lowry the same thing in Toronto, Paul in LAC, Milsap in Atlanta (or else he would be on the market), etc.

he siad the best free agents to likely move this offseason are like Ibaka, Holliday, Gallinari, maybe Derek Rose, Redick, Jeff Teague, Tyreke Evans, George Hill, Noel

this class is a lot bigger and better at that 2nd tier level as compared to last years class that was kinda weak- and a ton of those guys got overpaid.

there should be some better deals this offseason then last season for those 2nd tier guys--- but the top tier guys are all likely to stay put supposedly.

Otto Porter JR. is a interesting guy- but it might take the max to keep him in Washington- which is kinda bonkers.

 

[WiggyRuss]

teams that saved their money last offseason should be able to get a LOT better deals in free agency this offseason for that 2nd, 3rd tier level guy.

do the Kings have their own first rounder this upcoming draft?

 

[Bolts]

do the Kings have their own first rounder this upcoming draft?

Right now yes, but it's top 10 protected. They also have a possible pick swap with Philly if the Kings end up with a better draft pick.

 

[bksballer89]

Nope. The Bulls have the Kings pick

 

[WiggyRuss]

Nope. The Bulls have the Kings pick

ohh thats right.....its like top 10 protected or something im pretty sure...

i think thats the pick the Cavs gave them for Deng that the Cavs originally got for Hickson.

I want Gallo.

If the Clippers could put something together to keep the big three, and trade for Gallo, I'd be ecstatic.

He's always hurt.

But, so is everyone else on our roster, sans Jordan.

 

[Bolts]

Nope. The Bulls have the Kings pick

I think if the Kings keep their top 10 pick this year, the Bulls end up with a 2nd round pick instead.

You're probably right. I was just looking at the mock draft site so it only tells me about what picks teams would currently have as of the standings on Feb 13th

The win yesterday took the Kings out of the bottom 10, so if the season ended now they'd likely lose the pick. With how many teams are within 3 or 4 games of each other in that 7-12 range, it could come down to the final day of the season to see who ends up with it.

your words not mine.

 

[bksballer89]

And on top of that, the only reason I looked is to see if Kings own their pick or not. I look at mock drafts from time to time just to see movement of players and their stock. I don't look at it thinking that team will be picking in that exact position in June. 2 months left in the season. Lots of movement in the standings will take place and then there is also the lottey.

Yep that's what I try to tell someone yesterday. These teams are so close. A team currently drafting 11th could be in position 5 or 6 a month from now.
