2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Spencer Dinwiddie has done a very nice job.

He has.

Turned himself into a legit rotation player when many gave up on him.

 

[LAD]

#2, #4, and #5 directly contradict each other

Not quite. They all tie together if anything.

 

[DJ Fieri]

The Lakers are leading the Cavs, 43-40....

 

[Black Adam]

Brook...

TWO air balls at the ft line...?

Seriously...?

 

[Black Adam]

26,7, and 7 tonight.

Crazy thing about Dinwiddle is Brooklyn got him signed for the next 2 years on a shitty deal lol. Barely making 1 mill this year and next

Fun game in Cleveland. The cavs are clearly the better team but the Lakers are not going away quietly.

 

[trojanfight]

Anyone got a explanation for that play stoppage after lebron ends up In crowd? Lakers didn’t call timeout. Far as I know refs can’t stop ball because some player fell Into stands.

Let the speculation begin...What did LeBron possibly say to Lonzo after the game???

" I'm coming to LA in the summer"

Uh, no. Especially 2 and 5. If Father Time is undefeated, shouldn't LeBron's love of 1 year deals make that a non-issue?

I just don't get it. Like the guy, don't like the guy, if he comes to LA your team wins a title probably. Isn't that the point?

Maybe someone who roots for the Lakers AND Warriors just thinks of things a little differently. Do you also like the Dodgers and Giants? Niners and Rams?

 

[trojanfan12]

So what do the Lakers do about LaVar? Apparently Magic's talk with him fell on deaf ears. SMH

Hopefully Lavar goes to Lithuania with Gelo and Melo. Problem solved.

If he doesn't. From a job I had several years ago, I know some gang members that owe me a favor. They just need his address.

Thought Korver committed a foul

1. How many of their new pieces will they have to give up to get him

Randle and Clarkson. Both of whom are likely to be allowed to walk anyway. Also, Lopez and KCP would be gone. The main core of Ball, Ingram, Kuzma, Nance and probably Hart will still be intact.

2. How many years will they sign him - (he will be on the other side of 33 next summer & father time is undefeated)

I'd expect 3 years max...maybe 4.

3. Will the impact of playing with him stunt the growth of the rookies (more specifically Ball & Kuzma)

It would make their jobs and ability to grow easier. Plus they'd be seeing how a championship player prepares and plays. If they're smart, they'll be sponges around him.

4. Does anyone really think he wants to finish out his career as a Laker

As you point out, he's going to be 33. Pretty safe bet that wherever he signs, it will be his last stop.

5. What will be the plan post LBJ

I expect it would be to continue with adding pieces to the young core that would remain and be entering their primes.

I don't think Clarkson is going away any time soon. Luke and Magic love him and he's on a pretty good deal.

From what I understand, they'll have to let him go to be able to sign 2 max FA's.
