2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

yah i would love that deal for the Warriors too- esp. since Crowder is one of the better options to defend LeBron- and Bradley can give you at least 75% of what thompson does---- and of course if its Noel you get a big who can run, finish in the break, defend the rim, and defend the p n r.

i doubt it happens. is thompson really that much better than bradley that you give up crowder and his deal and that nets pick? i certainly dont think so.

I think Danny is under pressure to land a big fish.

Klay qualifies in name only....when you look at the sum total of Noel, Bradley, Crowder.

I love Klay.

Would love to see if he can be a #1.

But, that deal is a straight up carjacking in favor of the Warriors.

Yeah, I think there would be a lot of naysayers on both sides. I agree that this would be a great haul for Klay, but I think there would be strong voices in the Warriors organization saying that breaking up the Big 4 so soon would be a mistake, while strong voices in Boston would balk at giving up so much. I doubt this deal ever gets proposed between the two teams.

Starting with Jerry West

Dude, are you being serious?

KD is not passed his prime.

He is 28 years old...Lmao.

But, the Chemistry concerns are legit.

Boogie will be a free agent soon.

Not sure what your cap is like. But, he fits the Laker mode of dominant bigs.

To bad he has all that empty space between his ears.

I would worry more about adding him than Durant.

I'D worry IF we added Boogie...

as you alluded to, the boy ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer...

If we were trying to go big in Boston, I'd like to try to convince NO to blow it up and trade AD. The money would be harder to come by in that one of course, but he would solve a lot of problems at one. I'm dreaming, I know but it's a fun dream to have.

Hmmm....I'm not sure this would be a good deal for the Warriors. Klay is already a proven player- that continues to improve every season. They would be giving that up for basically "potential" in the guys you mentioned? If it were my choice I would say no deal.

Well, you would be giving up shooting.

Bradley and Crowder are pretty steady, have been in the NBA 6years and are way more than just potential.


Crowder is getting 13,6 and 2.

So, far....Bradley is putting up huge numbers.

18, 8 and 4.

I don't think his boards will be that high by Seasons end.

But, he has improved his scoring every year he's been healthy.

So, up to 18 from 15 last Season is doable.


Avery wouldn't need to duplicate those numbers with the Warriors.

He would just need to defend the Westbrook's of the NBA.

Noel wouldn't need to score a single point. Just board and guard the rim, two things he excels at.

Again: this is just a rumor started by Brian fricking Scalabrine.

It won't happen.

I hear ya...but I still say no-go for the same reasons I said they shouldn't have given up Klay for Love. If you trade Klay then you're only left with Curry & KD as the offensive weapons- and you give up arguably the best 2-guard in the league. The only time you settle for less on the trade is when you're forced to.

I think to make another drastic change to this line-up again would be doing too much this season. And for that reason I am glad it's just a rumor at this point.

They have some depth issues.

Maybe when everyone is healthy, the bench will stabilize.

Bradley and Crowder are both established players. Bradley was actually 1st team all defense last year.

GS bench? I think it has more to do with chemistry. The majority of the guys that left were from that 2nd unit- so naturally it will take a minute for Kerr to find a good line-up that isn't too much of a drop-off from the starters. With the luxury of being able to always have an offensive weapon on the floor it should work out by mid-season or so.

Yeah, that shit is just unfair.

Hey, did you know the Lakers have the highest scoring bench?

Clarkson in the 2nd unit is paying dividends.

I hope Russell gets his shit together.

He is torpedoing 2 of my Fantasy teams.

Find your Damn shot. If it's not there, distribute.

I didn't know their bench was the highest scoring- interesting stat. I have watched their games and Luke got them playing with a load of confidence. It's fun to watch them. Most importantly I want to know what he did to get Swaggy P to respond the way he has thus far.

I think Russell might be feeling the pressure of losing his starting spot to Clarkson or Lu....

Just saw them talking about this rumor. Kerr just killed it though.

Fair enough...but I don't think either of them play extremely well on both ends of the court- which is what Klay does. So since Klay isn't asking for a trade then no need for a fire sale.

He's young...growing pains.

I really like Randle.

I tend to gravitate towards guys with a lil as whole in him...lol

* excludes Draymond because he is clearly 4/5's ass....minimum.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

Klay, Looney and McCaw for DMC and McLemore.

Heard it here first folks.

 

[bksballer89]

Pat Riley to double down in draft by dealing Dragic?

I don't see how this solve any of the Warriors current issues.
