2017 NBA Offseason Thread

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

The way this Free Agency period has shaken out, fewer & fewer teams will have cap space like we will next summer.

Yep, you are in fabulous shape.

The only Teams you have to worry about next Summer are the Spurs and Boston.

Well, depending on what moves they make this year, maybe not even them.

LOL at people burning Hayward jerseys.

Mecca, you got any JJ Reddick jerseys to burn?

Sports really brings out the best, and worst, in some people.

He played out his contract.

If they want to stop losing guys, pick up the stadium and move someplace warm or only draft guys from BYU.

I hate to lose any of them, but you gotta do what ya gotta do.

The only concern really is.....depth. A serious injury or even 2......could wreck Boston's season.

 

[trojanfan12]

No, I actually think the opposite.

.....unless you sign Waiters.

I'd rather have Crawford.

********Off topic alert *******

It's funny how that term sets people off.

About 10 years ago, I went to Jamaica with a few friends.

While in the Airport, an older, white Southern Gentleman came up to me and said...

" You are a pretty colored girl".

I said thanks and sent him on his way.

My 3 friends were furious that I said thanks.

But, look at it this way...We were in Atlanta on a layover and Dude was like 80 years old.

He probably meant no harm, is set in his ways and didn't know that is a antiquated or offensive term.

Sometimes it's ignorance, not overt racism.

******end rant******

A friend of mine's Grandmother lived her whole life in the South.

Absolutely loved BB King

Heard her refer to him as "that colored man who sings real good."

When I first heard it I was like...

Then, I realized that for her, she was giving him a compliment. Societal changes are always harder for the older folks.

[trojanfan12]

Well, I can honestly say I'm only one color, dark brown.

Not much fluctuation in my pigmentation.

But, I know white people who are red, orange, white or blotchy depending on the weather outside....lol

Hell, depending on how much I've been outside...I can be 3 or 4 different colors at the same time. lol

 

[trojanfan12]

Ball, Crawford, Randle, Ingram, Lopez -- looks like a really bad defensive team.

Yeah, unless they come up with a solid team defensive scheme, I see lots of 122-118 games next year.
