2016 NBA Off-Season Thread part 2

hahaha....

cool....just glad we have confirmed that you think Whiteside will get suspended for acting a fool once again as well......

really not much of a bet....the combination of losing and a ton of guaranteed money are NOT a great combination with someone who has a long history of laziness and petulance and cheap shotting other players

I think a ton of players will get suspened, as always.
Shit happens.
Maybe he does, maybe he doesn't.

Didnt you promise hed meltdown and get suspened in the playoffs?

I guess if you make enough predictions, you eventually get some correct.

if u switched Whiteside for Thompson no chance the Cavs win that title- they would have been DESTROYED by the pick and roll- justl ike Whiteside is game after game after game.

Please.
The Warriors had no bigs.
It would have been a Whiteside dunkfest.
Hed prob have won MVP.

yah because thats what hte Cavs wanted to do- take the ball out of IRving and LEBrons hands and give it to Whiteside, LOL

dude- are you just pretending to be this dumb?

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

I was really hoping that somehow Whiteside would have ended up in Cleveland just to watch you go all

.


That would require cap space.
Im sure Cavs wish they had him though.

Griffin would never add a guy like that to the team....its counter productive.....talent is important- but talent that has more interest in his NBA Live rating on a video game than winning- will NEVER EVER be an important part of a championship team.

Hey that shit's not important. What's really important is which team will LeBron be playing for after next season? It's never too early to start talking about that!

Right.
Im sure they wouldnt have wanted endless lob/dunks.

oh i am sure there will be PLENTY OF TALK....mostly from bitter Heat fans and other LeBron type haters....

i just dont see where he goes to to get a better chance to win than here. He has the biggest wallet in the league backing him in Gilbert- the best running mate he has ever had in Irving- and some other very nice pieces.

best teammate ever? check
owner with the deepest pockets? check

dont see how/why you would leave that.

Golden State.

He'll probably stay in cleveland for the rest of his career. No way will any other team give him the amount of power that gilbert gives him.

Normal GMs put the team before a player but not cleveland...

 

[WiggyRuss]

Golden State.

cmon- hes not as big a coward as Durant....lol....

Question is, how quickly would you chicken out and create another alt if he were to ever leave cleveland again?

If the Cavs lose this year, Im not at all convinced that Gilbert will be so thrilled about playing by James rules anymore or even caring if James chooses to leave.

Really depends on the next CBA.

He already got his title and made the cash.

Why give it all back with bad contracts and record luxury taxes?

Without James, the cavs are bottom-dwellers again though. And with all the terrible contracts gilbert has given out, there's no way the team could even begin to fathom a rebuild for years to come after lebron.

As soon as lebron declines or he leaves, the cavs won't even sniff the playoffs for a decade.

It's not just that LeBron plays Gilbert like a puppet but if he jumps to a 3rd team seeking titles that will crush his legacy. And I truly think his legacy means a lot to him. Like him or not his basketball abilities on the court can't be questioned.

I think he's a complete twat but he's a fantastic player. The Decision parts 1 and 2 will hurt him though.

I agree with this.

Only question really is how badly does he want to play with his "brotherhood"?

Next summer is the only realistic time it could happen.

Team Banana Boat, coming to a league near you...

I can see the Knicks trying to make this happens. Especially with Melo and Rose already on the team.

Not necessarily. He's got a good point re: TT vs Whiteside and team fit.
