2016 NBA Off-Season Thread

Can Kevin Martin play sf?

He's 6'7.

I don't know why I think PG/Sg when I think of him.

I don't think he can defend SF. That said, he doesn't really defend SG that well either.

Offensively, he's a wing, exact position doesn't really matter (SG/SF).

The guy you really want is Nick Young. He's quite the up-standing young adult that could really fill out your team.

I've never really been a fan of Blake's game personally. Seems more about flash than substance that contributes to winning games IMO. I think the Clippers could use him to get a younger promising PF AND upgrade at other positions (namely SF).

Like who?

Blake has improved his game every year he's been in the NBA.

Outside of Davis and Aldridge, there is not a PF in the NBA that I would trade him for.

Not Green, Not Love, Not Zinger.

I consider KAT a Center.

A guy a do love is Milsap.

If they could get him and a SF, yep.

Otherwise...Pass.

to Utah for Hayward and Favors (or Lyles)?

to Bucks for Middleton and Antetokounmpo? (That would be a tough sell to Bucks fans)

Millsap/Bembry?

 

[DJ Fieri]

Right.

We just gave Doc Jr. 11 million in allowance money just to trade for another midget.

But, I do like Avery.

I'd give this deal the side eye if it Crowder was coming too.

No way that goes down.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I don't know.

I'd trade both for Westbrook.

He can give you Isiah's offense and Bradley's defense.

Yep. He's waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than those 2.

Not a fan of IT.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Would you do griffin for avery, amir, and 2018 nets pick

Fuck that deal.

See, I think that is actually more than Griffin is really worth.

Bradley is awesome and the Nets pick in 2018 could very likely end up being a player better than Griffin. I also don't think Griffin is all that great. His game is more style than substance. They were really not much worse playing without him last year, Bradley brings some toughness and perimeter defense. The key is whether or not Reddick can play the 3.

Did not see this until after I posted my comment. Dead on, IMO.

But it's a lot of risk for a player they don't have to trade right now. Bradley is solid, Johnson sucks and the Nets 2018 pick is a question mark. Probably will be a high pick but who knows how that draft turns out.

Between draymond and griffin its close draymond is way better on defense and at passing the ball

Draymond is fire.

But, I don't know how he fits if he had to score at 20ppg every night.

He doesn't have to do that for the Warriors.

Not saying he can't, just he doesn't have to.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Millsap/Bembry?

GAWD DAMN, YOU!!!!!!

Yes.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

to Utah for Hayward and Favors (or Lyles)?

Yes, to both!!!!!

I don't know if he has improved. Look, he has improved with his decision-making/IQ and mid-range but if you actually look at the numbers it is about same. I think his 4th year in the league when he played a full season was his best year. His rebounding has gone down big time but that has to do with DeAndre, his passing numbers have gone up and he has improved in that category. Free throws better. Mid-range better. Efficiency as a whole is pretty much the same. I don't want to say he has peaked bc I think he can be better, but maybe he has peaked on the Clippers if that makes sense. All that being said...Bradley, Johnson and 18 1st rounder is still not worth him IMO

No, JJ would get smoked.

The style, no substance, argument was dead on 2 Seasons ago.

Not anymore.

He's a lazy defender with T Rex arms.

But, he has improved his jumper tremendously.

Blake's problems are his body and what's lacking between his ears.

Both are great. Draymond> griffin for defense. Griffin> draymond on offense. Would love either

 

[Hambombs]

Blake has improved every year, especially his jumper and passing the ball
