2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

Don't look now but OKC is quietly in first place in the West.

I noticed

 

[tlance]

lol.

Lebron is too low IMO

I would have him 3rd and push Kawi & Embiid down

LeBron should be 1.

Seriously.

Giannis and Steph are having great seasons. But how many times can the man get robbed?

Just look at What has become of the Cavs. Then see the Lakers on pace for well over 50 wins.

Giannis has better support players than LeBron, a similar team record and plays in the weak conference.

If you guys can get 1 more consistent threat off the bench I think OKC is going to be really tough this year. Your team's defense is no joke.

Since ya'll keep shitting on my facetious MVP rankings, here's my real ones:

1) Giannis
2) Steph Curry
3) Kawhi Leonard
4) Joel Embiid
5) Lebron James

Fun fact: Kawhi Leonard has only played in 5 more games than Steph this year.

Giannis, Steph, LeBron, Kawhi for me.

Lou Williams.

I know this is a oxymoron.

But, a healthy Gallo would be money for the Thunder.

 

[Mecca]

Because the prospect of paying him almost $50 million in 2023 is potentially a lot worse.

In 2 years this could be a Luol Deng level toxic contract. Now is the time to move him, trade kicker or no.

Fair enough.

Lowry for Wall, Oubre?

I'm gonna be honest, I wrote it up originally as a Steph 1, everyone else post, but then changed it up. Lebron totally slipped my mind and I just added him in there at the end. I would have adjusted it, had I put a bit more thought into it.

I like it, but not sure what the Thunder could offer for Lou that makes it do-able for the Clippers.

Couple guys I think they could use would be Trevor Ariza, Alec Burks and Terrance Ross. I think all could be had for a relatively light haul centered around a 1st rd pick.

I'm not sure what OKC wants to do with Robertson, but what about a swap of Robertson and Abrines for Allen Crabbe. Crabbe is still shooting well, and I think he'd be revitalized on this Thunder team where he could hunt buckets with the second unit. Brooklyn keeps Robertson for next year but clears an additional 8.5M off their books for the off-season.

I agree.

I wouldn't start putting down roots there just yet.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Fair enough.

I'm all for trading Lowry but I don't want Wall's punk ass anywhere near here.

 

[trojanfan12]

Ahem....

I tried to tell you all last year how good Kuzma was. Most thought I was crazy...and yet here we are.

Yes you did. I will say though, I am very happy to have been wrong. lol

 

[flyerhawk]

The MRI on Butler's groin has come back negative. Thank goodness.

Still might miss a couple of games but that's fine. Hopefully he's back before the Raptors and Celtics games late next week.

Well that is exactly what they are going to try to do. The 2nd team
Is now a strength instead of a weakness. I don’t expect them to win the west but they are a lot of fun to watch most nights now.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Draymond is back...
Boogie getting closer....


Green back; Cousins set for G League practice

Cousins practices, not concerned about Achilles

I don't blame you.

I think the flip side to that is it is also quite impressive to be that great along side other great players.

Is it similar to Steph's injury?

I wouldn't rush hum back. Wait till halfway through the season and bring him along slowly.....just have him at 100% by the time the playoffs start.
