2017 NBA Offseason Thread

[CitySushi]

What I saw last night was the 2nd & 3rd units struggling. That is to be expected, with more rookies getting acclimated with PT. But, they were out there without any of the guys from the regular rotation. We know that won't be the case in the reg season, so not worried. I think it's good run for them though - they have to be able to get out there and get a feel for the pace of the game @ the pro level and also learn their team mates. Not worried about the regular rotation guys at all.

What about Swaggy though? I honestly feel he's going to need to be an importance piece to the team. He's the reason they let go of Clark who was really good instant offense off the bench last year. If he's not up to the task, our second unit could struggle to score throughout the year.

Swaggy P was being Swaggy P last night. I think it'll take some time for him to get acclimated - but when he's out there it will come. What I did see from him was the fact that he shared the ball when he was playing with the reg rotation guys. That was a good sign. He kind of veered off when he was out there with the 2nd & 3rd unit guys.

Now there's a sentence I didn't expect anyone to say for a very long time

I mean it's just preseason but I've seen nothing from them to suggest that they won't win 28+ games as I said they would all off season. I really think that Cavs pick from brooklyn will end up in the 6th or 7th range

That could really be the case.

Could you imagine if Teodosic played for the Spurs?

Pop would fucking murder him...lol

A underhanded, length of the court pass?

Damn I love this dirty bastard.

He is gonna give up so many points on defense.

But, my God...he's so much fun to watch.

Nets over Cavs in 5

So I tried out the starting lineup of Dragic, Waiters, McGruder, JJ, and Hassan in NBA2k last night and I love it. Using J-Rich as backup SF and Winslow as the backup PF is a great idea. Hope Miami uses that starting 5

lol still trying to get used to Zubac coming off the bench in mine. dude doesn't run the floor all that well, but he's not a bad rim protector...

also been tossing in Kuzma at the 3 and that's been interesting...

Kenyon Martin is a POS.....but Jeremy Lin's response was a class act all the way.

Yep. Lin made him look like the fool that he is.

Lin with the politest ether I have ever witnessed. You can tell from his response he's 10 times smarter than Martin.

They recovered nicely from CP's departure and will still be a playoff team.

Well, at least Lebron calls it like it is.

Not surprising at all. Lin went to Harvard for a reason. Glad he eviscerated Martin in the way he did.

 

[ManuForever]

That's pretty low. I'd give them around 34-36 wins.

I honestly don't understand why they signed George Hill.

Just go with the youth movement like the Lakers and Philly.

Hill and ZBo aren't enough to leapfrog the Clippers, Nola, Denver, JAZZ who will all be fighting for the 6-8 seeds.

Heck, I think Dallas will be better than the Kings.

I guess they didn't think Fox was ready.
