2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Right now? Sure

After the Knicks flex their free agency muscles?

Nets = Clippers.

Doesn't matter who has the better team.

It's sad. But, so

 

[tlance]

Pass.

They are going full rebuild.

Why would they want Derozan or Aldridge?

I like Murray.

But, he's injured.

They didn't want injured Porzingis.

Why would they want a injured lesser guy?

Your picks are worse than the Lakers if you make the playoffs.

I would rather have Tatum and the Kings pick.

I would rather have Knox and the Knicks pick if it's top 3.

I would rather send him East to avoid him killing me 4 times a year.

Honestly, that would be terrible for the Spurs too.

Because if they make that trade, it is likely they only get AD for 1 year.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

just wondering if anyone still wants to question my statement regardnig Baker Mayfield and LeBron James that Cleveland fans, the vast majority of them, if given the choice between having Baker on the team playing for the city, or LeBron- would without a doubt take Baker.

It would be Baker

It would be a landslide

It is not even a question

as Jim Rome is saying

the Cleveland Browns are "American's Team"

You always have to take it one step to far...
Lol

I think today, considering where the Lakers are, you would be correct.

I was one of the ones who scoffed when you said this month's ago.

So, I will eat the L.

But, damn...

Maybe play a game first before crowning them the People's Champ?

Everyone said the same about the Celtics before the Season started and they probably won't even have home court in the 1st round.

Yeah, I think they are wanting to send him to the EC most likely.

Well, that could be a win.

If Pop retires, they might as well blow it up.

I keep seeing Aldridge back to the Blazers isn't as farfetched as it sounded when he first left.

If he walks, keep Demar at that price for what?

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Anthony Davis

1) Offering one of their prize young guards (Murray/White) or both if also necessary
2) Two first round picks they have this year, and a 3rd first rounder if also necessary
3) And then either Derozan or Aldridge to add a veteran ready allstar type player

That is better than just about any team besides Boston can offer.
And if they offered both guards, it would be arguably the best package out there.

I just dont see the Spurs parting with both of them. That would be a little too much to give up.

Obviously if I'm the Spurs I'd trade Aldridge as opposed to DeRozan if you're adding Davis

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Yeah, I think they are wanting to send him to the EC most likely.

That and they are lusting after Tatum.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

So, is this a wrap for Midget Isiah?

What a horrific turn his career has taken.

Some of it is due to injury.

BUT, some of it is due to his feelings of entitlement.

You are not Steph Curry.

You are not Kyrie Irving.

Shit, he isn't even Lou Williams or at least he should stop trying to be the Denver version of Lou.

The Clippers need Lou to go Kobe if we have any chance to win.

The Nuggets don't need that from him.

# ThatBrinksTruckAintComingSon

He is one of the worst defenders in the league. Kind of an issue when you can't D up the point guard. Things kind of break down from there.

 

[bksballer89]

Great night for the Heat.

Now 2 up on both Charlotte and Orlando and 3 up in the all important loss column on Orlando.

The Browns should be good. They should win the division and be a top 3 or 4 team in the AFC.

Should be.

But let's see how young Mayfield manages expectations and OdEll Beckham before we anoint them.

oh i dont expect the Browns to get t othe super bowl or anything this year

i mean baker is still a 2nd year player, they have tons of young guys, barely over a year ago they were ocming off an 0-16 season

this year i expect them to win 10 games and make the playoffs- either as a wild card or division winner. IF they stay healthy, get a little lucky maybe they win 11-12 games.

but i can see 10 wins and a playoff game......that would be a great step.

going from 0-16 to 10-6 and a playoff game in 2 seasons would be ridiculous.

that talent on offense though Mecca

-Baker
-ODB
-Jarvis
-Chubb
-Hunt
-Njoku

holy shit.

now that Baker is in his 2nd season and has weapons on the level of Mahomes we shall see who has the better season.

Yes we will.

Just let me know if you want me to take any more of your vcash.

Yep.

Plus, he won't even let the ground touch the ball.

He plays like he has never even heard the word pass.

Total ball stopper.

He's playing hell-a-selfish and has been taken out of the lineup because of it.

I wouldn't be surprised if they release him.

Health permitting, you will be a playoff team.

I'm happy for Browns fans.

Take it easy, Turbo.

Baker looks like a Franchise QB and was very deserving of going #1 overall.

But, give him time to build chemistry with the new guys before expecting him to lap the league MVP.

Possible? Yes.

Probable? Maybe in a few Seasons.

Browns will be good for sure. However I really like the deal for the Giants as well.

OBJ needs to stay on the field as well.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

I like Murray.

But, he's injured.

Supposedly he is getting better.....and lobbying Pop to play this season still.

Yes. Anything is possible.

Hell no. Mahomes is another level of special.
