2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Black Adam]

Not even Wiggy is taking Love over Klay.

Sorry, you on you own here.

yeah, gotta agree, coach...

between those 2 i'm taking Klay 10 outta 10 times...

Ok, but after this season would they not have had the room to have kept Randle AND brought in a star? Or how about this.....they could have used Randle in a trade for AD. Clearly NO likes him, right?

That is just it.

They were trying to get a second star last summer.

They HAD to renounce Randle's rights before they could even entertain the possibility. Once they renounced Randle, he was gone.

And no. They would not have had cap space this year for another max because they surely would have had to pay Randle more than the 9 million he is getting now.

Would his contract have helped in a Davis trade?

Doubtful. NO was always going to wait to see Boston and NYs offers.

so your saying that if given the choice between an equal contract from the New Orleans Pelicans, baskebtall siberia, and the grand and magical Magic Johnson in LA htat Randle would take the deal from New Orleans.

alrighty then.

I'm not talking about basing off 7 games, though, I'm basing it off who I'm taking and for that I might care more about the hundreds of other games they played.

I can get behind Curry for sure being better, though by your own logic, Kyrie outplayed him in the 2016 Finals so shouldn't you think Kyrie is better or it's close?

Klay can shoot, play a little D and not much else. 20-10 guys who can make 3s are a little harder to find. And while the guy is a bit of a nutjob, to not take Kyrie over Klay? come on. Because he doesn't create his own shot and does damage off ball?

How much better has Kyrie made Boston?

He is a great player. No doubt. If I have to build a franchise around 1 I take Kyrie 100% of the time.

But if I have other great players too, I take Klay 100% of the time.

Because Klay has no ego and he always fits. Kyrie ain't so easy to play with. That is showing with Boston's struggles this year.

Yeah.

Because the Lakers already made it clear they weren't invested in him. It was personal.

And Randle asked to be renounced when he saw the writing on the wall.

I think it was a classy move for doc river to stop the game last night to let the crowd to honor dirk

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Can't be them. They weren't in talks and plus they are veterans. Hart haven't been the same since he got hurt way before the trade deadline.

Rondo was absolutely in talks.

He was part of the very first roster and has been ass.

 

[CitySushi]

Let me take this.

Yes, the Warrior best lineup was the death lineup.

But, you can't play that lineup for 48 minutes. Bogus was a strong option when GS needed to be big.

While he was -25 for the series, -21 of that and in game 3 when the Cavs beat the breaks off GS (without the "great" Kevin Love).

Festus Ezeli, on the other hand, was an atrocious -26 over 24 minutes in games 6 and 7.

Ezeli's minutes were as impactful as anyone on the Cleveland roster outside of LeBron and Kyrie. And had Bogut been healthy, he doesn't see the court.

PREACH!

 

[DJ Fieri]

lol what is your bromance with Love about?? You'd draft him before Klay? Seriously? Klay is a better scorer AND defender.

BOOM.

DT has been told this a few 1000 times over the last few weeks.

dude, lebron used to conserve energy- and smartly

that is some next level shit though....if he used to ramp it up on defense a certain amount of the time because he was conserving energy, he is "conserving energy" a lot more than at any time inhis career.
