2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

Oladipo returns and looks like the Pacers are back to how they were playing prior to the injury.

Up 37-16 on the Bucks after 1.

If anything, maybe a title contender who doesn't give a damn about their 29th or 30th draft pick but something tells me Memphis is looking more like top 20.

Yeah they're not getting a top 20 pick. It'd be a contender pick, which would be late first. Anyone in the top 20 I don't think would be willing to move their pick because Evans is on a one year deal. Doesn't make any sense. Only teams that would entertain it would be late first round picks, via contenders.

In other news... WTF BUCKS.

For a team like Toronto it would be a late first round pick. If the Raptors thought that this year they had a shot, it'd be worth it, imo.

Toronto gave Brooklyn their 1st round pick in that Carroll trade last summer.

All depends on how much faith they have in the draft. The Raptors currently have the leagues 3rd best record. A first round pick isn't really going to be worth much.

Well that takes them out. Yeah slim market for them. Spurs would have been the other team I would think might have inquired, but with the way they draft their late firsts are more valuable to them.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Maybe I'm in the minority, but for a singular season, I think he could be a nice late addition for a team making a playoff run. I don't think his numbers are sustainable, which is why it's good he's on a one year contract. A team like Toronto could use a guy like him off the bench.

He's averaging 19.7, 4.7 apg, 5.1 spg, on 47%FG and 41% 3PT. That's some big numbers even on a struggling Memphis team.

No doubt.

But, not at the cost of a 1st rounder.

The Clippers did hat shit with Jeff Green.

Didn't end well.

We'd be happy to send them back Lou for that 1st rounder.

Honestly, I'd rather have Lou, Fournier for that price.

Maybe kick the tires on Clarkson if it's a very late pick.

I just don't trust Tyreke.

Nice set of games on a Monday Night.

Cleveland/Minnesota should be fun

 

[True Lakers Fan]

Looks like he is a free agent this summer and considering his stats, will be wanting more $$$$ then he is getting - 19 ppg and 5 rpg is better than what any of the Lakers players are getting. Looks like to me they won't or can't pay him more and want something back in return. For the price, however I would gladly give them Julius Randle just to have a reliable shooter on the team

Clarkson is a mediocre to average player well overpaid - 14 ppg at 12 million years, very few rebounds or assists, little to no defense. You would be getting very little for your value

Lmao....

Funny.

But, means nothing in the grand scheme of things since the Better Business Bureau is a scam.


Big Baller Brand gets an 'F' from Better Business Bureau over negative reviews

... Better Business Bureau is a scam.

Out of curiosity, why do you say that?

I had an issue with Comcast once that a half-a-dozen long phone calls couldn't solve... I got the BBB involved and the matter was resolved quickly in my favor.

Because you can pay for your rating.

They have been caught doing this many times.

I went searching for the expose I saw on them a few years back and came across this.

However, the sporting press at large failed to note that the Better Business Bureau is a huge scam, and that its ratings are essentially meaningless. While they seem like a trustworthy consumer advocacy group, the Better Business Bureau has undermined their own legitimacy several times. A 2010 ABC News exposé caught the Better Business Bureau giving an A- grade to a fake business unsubtly dubbed “Hamas” in exchange for a payment of $425. BBB also accredited the online Nazi haven Stormfront and a few other nonexistent businesses that paid the registration fee.


A more recent CNN investigation found that over 100 businesses that have had “serious actions taken against them by government regulators in the past year” or were “ruled flat-out scams” still maintained A- grades or better from the BBB.

Ah, ok... thanks.

Devin Booker and company just owned the Thunder from start to finish.

I am so glad Westbrook is not on my team. His style of play will never get him a title. At times it’s honestly cringe worthy how bad his decisions are. I don’t blame PG for bolting after this season.

Nor KD for bolting either I presume?
