2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

[DJ Fieri]

I'd have to start a yeoman workout to get in shape but I throw the ball to AD and James....

 

[LAD]

Kuzma, Ingram, Ball, and multiple 1st rounders.....try and keep Hart at least but if needed.....include his ass.


James, AD, myself, @trojanfan12, @ChiefsLakers67, and a veteran bench=contention.

 

[trojanfan12]

This isn't the only way to get it done- so again I disagree. Games can be won on the defensive end as well.

As early as LBJ stopped playing defense he still had a choice IMO. Especially when we consider how much everyone thinks he's the "king". Kobe on the other didn't have a choice due to his injuries.

Agree to disagree.

That's a Shit offer, for multiple reasons.

Without even getting into how late those first rounders would be....


Reason #1

You don't trade a dollar for 4 quarters.

The brow is that rare $2 Bill and I don't consider two of the 3 you proposed as even being quarters......yet.

Reason #2.

Unless they are trading Jrue, why on earth would they want Lonzo?

They already have a erratic scoring project in Elfrid Payton.

I'm thinking most teams would want Hart, not Lonzo.

* See Ariza trade.

Suns wanted Hart.

Reason #3.

I wouldn't want BI.

He has value and he still teases major upside.

But, he's due for a contract extension.

Fuq do you even pay a guy like him?

I'd be afraid of getting stuck with a Wiggins, Otto Porter overpay based on potential.

He's looking more like Harrison Barnes, less like Kevin Durant.

Pass

Davis is going to have to straight out say, I'm going to the Lakers.

Even then, Teams could roll the dice because they have him for a year, minimum and can try to change his mind.

* See Kawhi, George, Kyrie

Suns up 13 in boston

This is a terrible deal. Reality is the Lakers doesn't have anything that New Orleans would likely accept for davis

Raptors defense steals the game and only gives up 11 pts in the 4th to comeback and win

 

[raptorlife4]

Kawhi is unreal. Such a dominant force on both ends.

this is one of the places where thsoe picks really come back to fuck them.

If they had a Fox or Tatum or Porzingis to trade as a centerpiece MAYBE this becomes a conversation that is a bit more realistic.

As you said- Ingram looks a lot more Otto Porter Jr. than Kevin Durant and you are gonna have to pay him soon.

And another great point- really, is there that huge a difference between Payton and Ball? not really.

 

[raptorlife4]

Why do the Lakers think they will be able to get AD? Because LeBron said he wants him? Every player in the NBA would say the same.

I think he stays in New Orleans

 

[tnapucco]

THEY ARE FUCKING FREE

TAKE THEM

WHY DO YOU NOT WANT THE FREE THROWS?

Well, I don't think it's a coincidence that Davis hired Rich Paul.

I mean, it's not like his next contract needs to be negotiated.

The problematic part of the conversation is the fact that the Lakers can't offer a homerun return.

The Pelicans will sell to the highest bidder IF he turns down the Supermax this Summer.

Lakers want AD
they will end up over paying Boogie Cousins

Not being a fan of your local sports teams is bad parenting.......

If you weren't born and raised near a particular city, I suppose you can go your own way, but what's it like rooting for a team in which nobody else in your hometown can identify with? Part of being born and raised in the suburbs of Philadelphia is that my dad and I will always have a connection through sports. That passion is matched throughout our area and we all ride the same rollercoaster, whether it be a Tony Wroten process game or the Eagles winning the Super Bowl.

Just doesn't make sense to be born and raised in the Philly area and root for another team. There will be exceptions, but for the most part, I call shenanigans on those that jump on the bandwagon of the 'popular' teams at the time.

But, that's just like, my opinion, man......

I'm a mixed bag because I'm from Toledo. Which is a total mixed bag of alliances.

But I definitely get being from a sports city like Pittsburgh and not liking all Pittsburgh teams is different for sure.

They lost but Rose had another 30-plus point game.....he's had a rejuvenation of sorts....

I think Lonzo is Slightly better.

Better rebounder, better court vision.

But, similar numbers.

They'd be redundant on the same roster.

Lonzo is 21 and Elfrid 24.

So, both can still get better.
