2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

I would. Not a lot of value in those late first rounders. The guys the Lakers have gotten are the exception, not the rule.

Problem is, that first rounder isn't going to be all that late. Mid to late teens most likely.

 

[Black Adam]

Don't bail Cleveland out. Korver is washed.

agreed...

THAT desperate for shooters we ain't...

 

[DJ Fieri]

Thunder going to get their first win vs the Suns and the Nets gave the W's a game, only lost by 6.

Yeah, not going to be late 1st. We'll probably win 45-50 games and it'll be somewhere in the 15-18 range.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Probably not.

Based on what the article suggests, a trade would likely come down to the Lakers or Celtics. The Celtics can make a better offer than the Lakers. I'm sure there are some others who could put together a better deal too, but those teams would almost certainly be only getting him as a 1 year rental.

The issue for the Celtics would be the same as the PG and Kawhi situations... Would the Celtics be willing to risk giving up what they would have to give up to get him when he might end up being a rental?

It worked for OKC and we'll see about Toronto with Kawhi...but neither of them are signed with Lebron's agency, so that might make the Celtics and others a little gun shy.

A question for the Lakers would be...if it looks like you have a great shot at signing AD in 2020, but Kawhi says he wants to be a Laker in 2019...do you sign Kawhi and pretty well end any shot at AD...or do you pass on Kawhi and wait for AD?

Wait for AD. By then, James would be a great #2 option....heck even a #3 if one of the kids develops into a quality #2 guy.

Yep they need to stop losing these games. Sooner or later, the whole we played this team close isn't good enough.

Heard it when they played Detroit, New Orleans, and now Golden State

Are you a Nets fan too?

 

[bksballer89]

Are you a Nets fan too?

I hope they do well but I'm not a fan. However since they're the first Brooklyn team we had in my life, I do hope they do well unless they're playing Miami

I'm not here watching every Nets game. They get treated like the other 29 teams in the league lol

Nerlens Noel sighting tonight.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Nerlens Noel sighting tonight.

He was a very nice pickup for them. He could have a solid couple seasons and still be young enough to get a bigger deal next time he's a FA in a few years.

 

[bksballer89]

Nerlens Noel sighting tonight.

Wow you weren't joking lol

Just saw he put up 20 and 15

 

[thunderc]

Wow you weren't joking lol

Just saw he put up 20 and 15

And 4 steals last I saw.

 

[Gman]

The Phoenix Suns are the perfect tonic for what ails ya...

 

[bksballer89]

@Mecca Avery Bradley heard you talking shit about him.

11 points in the first 7 minutes.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Most disappointing about this, though, is it's just another moment of unnecessary drama and dysfunction in Cleveland. No one -- from ownership, to the front office, to the coaching staff and the players -- seems on the same page there. And while they obviously need to find a lot of talent, solving the chemistry issues throughout the organization is the first issue they need to figure out.

We don't suck nearly as bad as the Cavs.

 

[trojanfan12]

That is a lot for Korver. Not worth a first.

Disagree. We're talking a first that's likely in the 20's.

Even when LeClown was playing there I was saying that that organization was like a dysfunctional family...

 

[bksballer89]

Wizards are a bad basketball team

 

[bksballer89]

Clippers currently on a 16-0 to increase their lead to 26
