2016 NBA Off-Season Thread

Just saw this one...

Kevin Love to Boston

Russell Westbrook, Amir Johnson to Cleveland

Marcus Smart, Jaylen Brown, Shumpert, Cavs 2017 1st round pick to OKC

I would love to see a back court of RW and Irving...i think my brain just went into overload, lol......dont get me going like this Gordon....for the love of God that would be amazing.

the terror and anger that RW would play with in a possible finals rematch would be legendary. his wrath and fury would make vlad the impaler look like Gandi, lol.

So the Warriors get West & Pachulia for a combined $4 million.

They are shells of themselves no, but for $4 mil. They are getting anyone they want after KD signed lol. Guys that want rings

 

[WiggyRuss]

Lol the Cavs contacted him. The dude wants a ring bad. I think he is bad luck so that's good he went there lol

did he do anything for the spurs last year in the playoffs?

David west to the dubs! Another hard nosed player inside the paint for the dubs!! The rich get richer

 

[shopson67]

I agree it's too much, but it's what I would ask. I'm sure they would settle for a deal much more similar to yours, but I do think Boston's been stockpiling picks just to trade them in a scenario like this.

Anybody would be crazy to give up high lottery picks for a Russ rental. He's unlikely to give anyone any reassurances that he'll re-sign next summer.

Hes bad luck? lol

Link? The news I see is that the Cavs have contacted him.

 

[shopson67]

Cousins (14 mil) and Mclemore (3 mil) for Love (20 mil) and Shump (10 mil)

There has to be more for the Kings. Why would they willingly downgrade from Cousins to Love?

 

[tlance]

David West to the Warriors for the vet min

LOL at anybody saying the Warriors won't find depth or big.

West and Pachulia is even better than Bogut/Ezeli, IMO. They offer rebounding and even more offensive skill. This is shaping up as the greatest offensive group of all time. I know these two have very different strengths than what GS had last year, but wow.

Nah. He played 18 mins a game, not much. He brings a physical presence but that is about it. They needed it though.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Well it depends how desperate they are, which they probably aren't very desperate. They get an immediate upgrade with Shump but not enough. My guess they would need a 1st rounder and maybe more.

love is not an asshole?

He is like a much better version of Speights. Great signing for the Dubs. West is similar offensively, with a tad less range, but much better defensively.

I rather have ezeli bogut but not by much. Bogut will be missed lets not forget about that

lol...dude west turns 36 next month and you can stick a fork in him.....bogut is MUUUUUUUUUCH more valuablee then pachulia....did u see how the warriors screening and defense fell apart?

you must be insane to think pachulia and west is near the equavlent of bogut and ezeli--especially when you factor those guys have been there in the system for years now.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Hes bad luck? lol

Everywhere he goes. They lose. Only 2 teams but he went to the Spurs last year thinking he could get one, now the Dubs

 

[WiggyRuss]

unleess wade wants to take a huge pay cut- i dont expect the Cavs to do much right now except troll the last level of free agents and sign smith......down the line they will make their move....i think they have made a deadline deal for like the last 5-6 years.

the dude turns 36 next month....

 

[shopson67]

love is not an asshole?

No, he's just stealing money. Cousins is a far better player and the Kings know that.

LOL No they aren't, they definitely aren't defensively. They needed toughness and West brings that. For the price it is a hell of a bargain. West is 35, averaged 5 ppg and 3 rpg in the playoffs. He just wants a ring and a rookie might have more minutes. Now Pachulia brings more than Ezeli scoring and passing wise, but the defense is far worse with these two guys. Still a hell of a bargain though.
