2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

Agree.

You have depth.

But, will LeBron be onboard?

Not sure what it would take to get him to stay.....

He really thinks highly of Trae but maybe he wants another star 2-way player like PG. It all depends on how this season ends, if he feels they can compete with GS I think he will no doubt stay or push another star to come to CLE

There just going to pick more power forwards.

So they gave up on the 5 point guard lineup they were trying a couple of years ago and now want a 5 PF lineup I guess.

Smart.

 

[trojanfan12]

Lauren Holtkamp is the female ref that Draymond called a Bitch and her HUSBAND is a NBA referee too?

Yeah, nothing can go wrong there....lol

How many Dudes here are capable of being objective when coming in contact with an individual who did that?

Not saying it's not possible.

Just saying I couldn't do it if it were my Mom or daughter...lol

Married NBA refs Lauren Holtkamp and Jonathan Sterling

Maybe her husband agrees?

The Spurs need to get healthy, and fast. This is hard to watch.

Yeah, I don't see that happening. This is just gonna be a wasted year for them. They're not beating GS or Houston anyway (maybe even OKC as well).

Jokic was the freaking truth tonight, damn.

 

[DJ Fieri]

LOL.

Breaking news:

Late entrant into the dunk contest.

Report: Paul George committed to re-signing with Thunder

Don't get your hopes up & also don't believe anything you hear or read prior to July 1st.

Chris Paul supposedly agreed to re-sign with the Clippers around the same time last year lol

I agree. Just as I was telling Laker fans in the off-season not to assume that Paul George will sign with them if he is a free agent, the Thunder shouldn't assume he's going to stay in OKC.

The Thunder performance in the playoffs will go a long way towards deciding where PG will end up.

 

[thunderc]

I know what you guys are saying and I agree. I do think the Thunder are the front runners though and I also think the Thunders winning streak before Roberson got hurt was the best team George has ever been on. I also think he loves playing with Westbrook. We will see but when he was first traded I didn’t have much hope at all of him staying. That’s not the case anymore, I think the Thunder have opened his eyes.

Yeah I agree. I do think the chances of him returning to OKC increased over the past few months. Good news for OKC

@Mecca I just read an article that outlined the Deandre trade.

The offer was:

Cavs receive Deandre Jordan and the Clippers receive Jae Crowder, Iman Shumpert, Channing Frye and Cleveland 1st round pick (not Brooklyn’s).

LA was trying to find a 3rd team to take the Shump contract in exchange for a center. The Clippers did not want JR, Shump or TT’s contract, so those 3 guys were excluded.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Wade: 10 points, 11 rebounds, and 6 assists off the bench.

Player's minds can change in a heartbeat.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Jokic was the freaking truth tonight, damn.

I can only come up with a oxymoron to describe him...

Awkward grace.

That's his game.

He looks hella awkward.

But, those passes.....

He is magnificent.

He says something different weekly...lol

But, I don't thing he nor LeBron is going to the Lakers.

With that being said....

*subject to change after an extended slump, playoff failure.

Cool, I couldn't find this anywhere and I was curious.

The Clippers are looking towards 2019.

So, taking any of those guys would be counterproductive.

Some folks think Deandre won't opt-out.

I think he will.

But, his Salary isn't the big elephant.

Wesley Johnson and Baby Doc have player options.

Wesley is for sure picking that shit up...lol

But, after next year, everyone except Gallo, Lou and the Rooks are off the books.

...and the Rooks have team options. So, they could go too.

Tobias, Beverely, Deandre, Austin, Milos, Dekker, Johnson, Boban...all gone.

Would love to keep Pat, Harris, Harrell.

But, time will tell.
