2016 NBA Off-Season Thread

[Bolts]

You'll see how guys like @TurnUpTheHeat , @bksballer89 , @Flauge, @avalon2423 , and myself are true fans of the Heat. The Heat are looking to be downright miserable this year.

But yeah, team hopping is weak shit. Stay with one team through the thick and thin, makes the high points much more enjoyable than the lows. Unless you're a fan of the Kings or 76ers, then you have an excuse. Sorry, @Bolts

I don't team hop, although I do root for Kawhi because of his Aztec history. When the Kings do have the high of a title it's gonna make all these low low low low low years worth it. Now if they can do it while I'm still alive, that'd be great!

K, now THIS is more like the Lakers we've come to love over the last few season...

If bets are made for futility, the Kings should be involved.

My 88 year old father waited a loonnngggg time for that Cavs title

Happy for him others like him.

Sadly, nobody here quailed for that happiness.

Ugly game. Too many to's even for Summer League...

“I’m never bashing Pat Riley. I’m never bashing the Miami Heat organization,” Wade said. “I’m never saying nothing negative about them, out of my mouth, about them. Does the way that the process goes down, are you angry? Yes. Do you feel a certain way about stuff? Yes. I feel that way about my parents. But I love them to death. And my kids feel the same way about me when I got to punish them and I don’t do what they want me to do. But they love me to death."


Sure sounds like a man who ran to "sources" saying he was offered 10M/1

Are the Lakers trying to tie the Kings' futility record from yesterday?

Could be...

Simmons can't shoot, but he looks like one helluva passer, though...

If Simmons ever gets that jump shot going....watch out. The passes he's making are so good, he'll have some turnover problems during the year but also make highlight passes. Lakers will avoid the futility record unfortunately.

Btw knew Nance was athletic, but that kid got some hops...

 

[Black Adam]

K, good thing Nance came along on the trip...

He knew what Riley did. He knew the choice he had to make and the benefits for him and the Heat. He gets his money while the Heat moves on quicker in a rebuild.
