2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I get that they opened up 2 max slots---one might theoretically be George as we all have heard, but with Cousins and his injury---- is there another max guy out there you would actually want to spend the money on if not LeBron? I dont think there is.

It will be interesting to see what Orlando does with Gordon.

Will they match a max offer?

I think they should.

But, that roster is a Shitshow.

So, who knows.

I'm thinking there could be a few surprise guys that can be had as a RFA ala KCP.

But, Jokic won't be one of them.

Gordon shouldn't.

But, Nurkic, Parker?

Depends on the number.

 

[tlance]

Yes.

But, they don't have to make a decision on Randle until the 6th of July.

So, they should have a sense of who is actually in play for them by then.

Well, LeBron does have tendency to drag it out....that's the only issue...imo

Right.

Next time LeBron signs early will be the first.

 

[tlance]

geeze, are the Wiz really gonna let this one slip away...?

Like I said, nothing surprises me with these guys.

Still have the lead, but damn.

 

[bksballer89]

Bad call there but the Wiz shouldn't have put themselves in this position anyway

 

[tlance]

Absolutely hate the last 2 possessions for the Wiz.

Wall can't bail out the defense like that. He needs to attack.

Yep. Terrible settle jump shot

 

[bksballer89]

Another shit possession

 

[Taddy Mason]

the fuck is up with the wiz coach, every time they showed him for the last five minutes, it's like he was expecting his team to lose and accepting it.

 

[bksballer89]

LMAO

 

[bksballer89]

Shit decision from Wall

 

[tlance]

OMG.

He had a layup! WTF!

 

[Iggloo]

What a choke job by Washington. Simply amazing.

He always looks like that.

 

[flyerhawk]

OMG.

Yeah that was just bizarre. He has a clear open lane to the hoop and instead makes an ill advised kick out pass that gets stolen?

 

[bksballer89]

Disgusting ending for the Wiz.

They were up 17 with under 8 to go
Up 16 halfway through the 4th

 

[Iggloo]

That hurts my boys in Philly. Sucks.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Looking more and more like Cavs/Heat in round 1.

I can't think of one that I'd want at max money if Lebron stays in Cleveland or goes somewhere besides the Lakers. The timing could be tricky, but I could see them waiting as long as possible on Randle, signing 1 max guy and then matching to keep Randle.

They could also do something similar to this past off-season and match Randle, sign a couple of good vets to 1 year deals, preserving as much space as possible for next off-season.

Given IT finally having that surgery on his hip, I could see them signing him to a 1 year deal. He has fit in well and may be interested in a good 1 year deal to try and earn back some of the money he's lost.

Btw, with PG13 it may be that him coming here might get him to play better...

as far as Boogie...?

use the money elsewhere i'd say...

I think this list is up to date.

Ps. If you didn't keep KCP, Avery Bradley wouldn't be a bad signing for the Lakers at a reasonable deal.

Also, if by chance the Suns, Mavs offer Boogie a full max, and the Pelicans don't, do you think Kanter would work in NOLA?

Davis should be able to mitigate his lack of defense.

He always looks like that.

seriously? dude was so dramatic with every cavs made bucket like it was the end of the world, kind of shitty leadership from the top if that's what he always does. i've only been back in country for around a month, so i'm still mostly familiar with just watching sixers games, but i remember people giving Iggy shit for having bad body language on the court, that's terrible body language from a coach.

 

[Black Adam]

Looking more and more like Cavs/Heat in round 1.
