2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

Porter would be the slam dunk number 1 if healthy, IMO.

Doubt he falls past 3 or 4. IF he does, would be a major steal.

I saw him in one mock at 6 and I was surprised. I don’t see him falling past 4 too even with rhe injury

Lmfao @ that Joke of a Album of the Year.

Grammy's should be shame.

Lakers attempting to trade Jordan Clarkson for Avery Bradley with the idea of having the option of renouncing his rights to have cap room for 2 max players or if they strike out in free agency signing both Bradley and Randle to extensions with bird rights.

I didn't watch a minute of that garbage. What album won Shammy of the year?

You can't renounce rights and still get to extend them via bird rights. It's one or the other.

Bruno Bars for his album that came out November 2016........

True, but you don't have to renounce his rights until you have someone else on the hook to sign that 2nd max contract.

The only negative with having Bradley as that 2nd "big" addition for next season is his size. If he was 6'5 or 6'6, he's a household name (and then again, wouldn't be available, so you get what you get).

Yeah, you have to factor in that Bradley will be an attractive free agent and there are some marquee free agent names on the market. Timing will have a lot to do with figuring out if this is a viable option.

Fan voting from the grammy site:

Who will GRAMMY voters choose for Album Of The Year for the 60th GRAMMYs?

• Childish Gambino, "Awaken, My Love!" 6%
• Jay-Z, 4:44. 18%
• Kendrick Lamar, DAMN. 12%
• Lorde, Melodrama. 12%
• Bruno Mars, 24K Magic. 52%

Not even remotely close, and DAMN was actually tied for 3rd/4th. None of these fall into my wheelhouse, so I can't speak from personal impression. Surprised they ignored rock, metal and country completely for the category though. Three rap/hip-hop albums probably split the support for the genre.

I'm down with that. Bradley is a very good fall-back signing at SG if they can't get a max guy in there. Why not just trade them KCP for Bradley, lol? (Other than wanting to clear Clarkson's salary, but he is a solid 2nd teamer).

Yea, I like giving up KCP rather than Clarkson

Heyward is going to play in the postseason.....and the Celtics just might have enough to beat the W's in the Finals.

 

[LAD]

With a healthy, useful (if only in a bench scorer capacity) Heyward... yeah, I'll stand by that.

The season series between these 2 teams would seem to confirm this... (as much as regular season match-ups can confirm anything about the playoffs, but it's the best info we got)

No. GS plays different in the post season. They lock in defensively for more than just a couple of quarters. It will not be the same.

We'll see if they match up... nothing said here and now is gonna prove anything. I'll stand by what I said earlier.

True. We can only look at seasons' past to predict what may happen....GS can get better defensively. Can Celts improve on offense?

 

[Gman]

Can Celts improve on offense?

I'm not just wishing and praying... the return of an all-star wing is a legitimate boost.

 

[LAD]

Do we even know if he's going to return this season? I mean, I'm all for the high hopes - even thought when the injury first happened there was time to recover & return for the post season. But, without even as much as a peep on a possible return how do we consider that?

 

[Heatles84]

@Mecca it's happening (hopefully)

I don't know about KCP................

But I'm down with OPP...



Yea, you know me....
