2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

The Cavs coming into this year- had barely any assets--- a first round pick they couldnt trade till 2020 and MILES over the salary cap.

and somehow Griffin has added 3 nice pieces to the team. Pretty nice.


I see the Warriors are adding Calderon--- I will take Dwill thoguh and be happy about it.

I wonder if the Warriors will try and pick up anyone else like bogut/jones/barnes etc.......

Every season, buyouts , waivers go to top teams.

Cavs are 4-20 without 2 of their big 3 or just Lebron. One of those two, but I think it's more towards the former. I know the Cavs record w/out Lebron isn't all that great. And you're right, this is why these long-winded essays about how great Kyrie is is always pure gold. I think the guy's a really good player, probably top 15-10. But yeah, without James that team would be sunk. Which is sad because on paper, that roster actually looks pretty good, even when you take Lebron off the list.

Kyrie is not in his prime yet.

Last year was his first time playing in a finals

 

[lebron23james]

You're not grasping it.
The roster works fine WITH James.
His presence allows the others a lot of their success.
Take him out of the equation and then suddenly those wide open looks aren't there any more.

Black and white.
For 3 seasons now, they are what, 4-20 without James?

When is the last time the Cavs won a playoff game without James?

When the cavs are winning with lebron it is because lebron is playing with multiple all-stars on a stacked team, and is the reason he left Miami for a better opportunity.

When they are losing without him they suck. lol

Show me where I ever said he was winning because of any other player on that roster.
PLEASE.
I'll wait.

Two Mavs sources say they expect Andrew Bogut will choose to join the Cavaliers once he receives a buyout from the 76ers.

I don't have time to go through your posts lol

AKA It never happened.
I KNOW James is the one and only reason that team could win a championship.

I think everyone really blows this whole "not in his prime narrative way too much". You act like Kyrie just scratched the surface whereas I don't believe he's going to improve vastly like you keep saying he will. Kyrie's already a great player, not taking that away from him. But I kept hearing how Kevin Love wasn't in his prime yet a couple of years ago and there's not much of a difference in his overall game that suggests he's light years better. He's just more comfortable in the Cavs system now.

This would more help them in the East playoffs. Hard to see him playing a factor against the Warriors considering how they play. If this was the Milwaukee Bogut who can score in the post then it would be different

He played a game in the '15 Finals.

 

[Heatles84]

I can't find that information as I'm grasping at straws here.

FIFY

Don't care much for dwill,

Let's see if he pulls any of his dick move, illegal screens on KD, Green or Curry..lol

..ahhh....you traded him..lol

Just a rumor anyway.

Playing Bogut helps the Warriors IMO. True Centers against the Warriors are useless unless you can hurt them on the offensive side of the ball which Bogut is unable to.

His only job is to be the Goon.

He excels at that shit.

You think Zsa Zsa Gabor gonna stand over Kyrie like he did Westbrook?

Think he can't rustle Draymond and McGee's jimmies?

 

[bksballer89]

I'm sure now with the addition of Bogut, Wiggy will tell us how the Cavs will use 12 guys on a daily in the playoffs lol.

For the basketall fans with an IQ, which 2 guys are getting left out of the playoffs rotation?
