2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

[LAD]

Well I don't think that the Warriors have any intention of going after Lebron. But if they DID go after him, they would do so with the understanding that he changes their team.

Agreed

@bksballer89

What you think about the " Costco Kyrie's" for $80 ?

 

[Mecca]

Unless they won the lottery not much chance that the Spurs could get any of those guys drafting as late as they could realistically drop to.

My bad....


In my head that sentence started with....

" I bet they'd win the draft lottery just like they did with Duncan "....

If memory serves me correctly, they were only a lottery team because their star player was injured.

Ah gotcha. Doncic definitely seems like the ultimate Spurs player.

If Kawhi isn't planning on returning soon, then I'd rather the Spurs just lose a ton of their remaining games and slip to 11th or 12th if that's possible and get a good draft pick. I'm over this season, lol.

It's too late (and they are too good) to do another Tank for Duncan.

@Bolts....

Things don't go so for me, no matter how many times I try.

But, you hit #2 frequently.

Just hit the SIM button and enjoy....

2018 NBA Mock Draft & Simulator | Tankathon

I've been on tankathon too much over the past few months, but as a fan of the Kings it's a yearly tradition at this point. I just got Kings at #1 on my 2nd try and #2 3x in a row. Took forever but I finally got the Clippers at #1(the Pistons pick jumped to top 3 before this but it goes back to DET if they get that lucky).

Those are for men or women?

Really?

I have yet to get Clippers in the top 3.

The thing I find the most interesting is that they think every team outside of the Suns, Dallas would take Doncic #1.

Those two teams would take Ayton.

Lmfao...I assume men.

In that case I hate it. I have a few Kyrie's but that design isn't doing it for me. Maybe it will eventually rub off on me but not yet lol. One thing I give Kyrie for is his sneakers are sold at a very affordable price which is another reason I only buy his sneakers now. No more spending close to $200 for sneakers thanks to Kyrie

Yeah, I was going to buy them for my nephew.

They look like bubblegums to me.

But, I thought maybe I was missing something...lol

What about this one?

I like these. Much better than the other one

 

[Mecca]

I'm already over the regular season and I'm fully locked on ping pong ball mode.

I love these amateur videographers on YouTube.

But, I don't think Embiid is a good comp for Ayton and Bagley to Garnett is terrible.

* isn't he closer to Bosh?*

Decent video otherwise for those who don't watch CBB and are curious about the top prospects.

Do those overpriced shoes cost less than $250? The price of some sneakers these days is insane.

Took a while lol but they finally got in there. I'm not sure who the Kings pick at #1, with Vlade as GM maybe Doncic is the favorite.

I was looking at a mock draft yesterday with comparisons if every play reached their ceiling. They compared Ayton to David Robinson, Bagley to a super sized Wiggins, Trae Young as Steph obviously, Bamba as Gobert with more offense, and Donic as a taller Manu. I definitely don't see Bagley as KG.

Damn that's actually not bad.

I hate it when CBB players are compared to all time greats or current great/good players. Shit Danny Ferry was supposed to be the next Larry Bird. Jimmer Fredette was gonna shoot his way to the HOF before he even played 1 NBA game. Charles Shackleford was so great in college he called himself amphibious instead of ambidextrous. I just wanted to throw that last 1 in because it's funny as hell.

But this crazy shit happens all the time & in multiple sports. Anyone remember when N.D.'s Ron Powlus was gonna be the next Joe Montana?
