2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Has a player ever been sanctioned for tampering?

If they were, what would the league even do?

Much different than a front office guy.

I don't think so.

This kinda looks like its rival teams leading the charge on considering this tampering.

I don't see this going anywhere.




League executives contend that the NBA needs to start holding players responsible for public comments the way they generally do owners and management. “If these are the rules, enforce them,” one Western Conference GM told ESPN. “If you want to push Anthony Davis in LA, if you allow LeBron to interfere with teams, then just do it. Change the rules, and say “It’s the wild, wild west and anything goes. But give us a list of the rules that you’re enforcing, and give us a list of the rules that you’re going to ignore.”

Only a dumbass homer would take Burks over Lonzo. LMAO!

Shane and Wiggy are homers but I wouldn't say they are dumb.....we're all fans and blind to a certain degree....








Except @Mecca and @Bolts.....they have PTSD.

The funny thing is Ball's per 36 minute stats are very close to last season.

But he won't often play 36 min per game because he's passive.

Stats lie, especially this one.

Example

Player X averaged 25 pts and 18 boards per 36 last year and 25 and 15 per 36 this one.

Those are Joel Embiid type numbers and shits on every other Center in the NBA.

Player X is Boban.

Is Boban as good, or better , than Embiid, Jokic or Gobert?

I'm gonna say no...lol

Per 36 doesn't take into consideration the mitigating factors of WHY a guy doesn't play that many minutes.

He'd get 36mpg over a full season on Charlotte or Phoenix. And James being on the Lakers is why he needs to be dealt.....since they are running the offense through him.

Phoenix, yes.

Charlotte, no.

This pretty much supports your argument.

But, I still don't agree because he'd be a spectator for Booker, Ayton and Kemba as well.

He can't, or hasn't to this point, been able to sustain his aggressiveness.

You're not wrong about that.

Wiggy and Shane need to see this because they say he's trash and doesn't fit in today's NBA....LOL.

Holy Shit that's a lot of money.

Lonzo is trash but I still said I would take him over Burks, but it is still close for the fact they both don't fit in Cleveland.
Lonzo has the age, potential and contract over Burks.

The only reason this scUM fan is in the NBA forum is bc I pissed him off and he is following me around LOL he is a loser, like his team

Cleveland is the city of losers. And you make dumbass posts all the time. You are a true fuccboi

 

[Bolts]

I prefer downtrodden realist.

Kings could have a magic number to clinch a playoff spot of 2 with 10 games left and I'd think "it's gonna really suck when they don't make it." I don't like being a debbie downer as much as I am, but I usually don't get my hopes up when it comes to sports.

 

[Shanemansj13]

If Lonzo ever hits his potential than I will own up but from the start I said he was trash and he is trash. It's more than he was overhyped, his transition has been the easiest. I'm not sure what happened to his shooting/FT %....a real head scratcher honestly. His shooting stroke worked for him at UCLA.

41% from the college 3 line
67% from FT line (isn't good but look at it now)

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

One of the bigger surprises for me this season is how Embiid has been able to log on 34 mins/g while playing in every game but 1. Nice to see that he looks durable this season. Dude is a beast, granted he could take better shots.

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

Also wtf will Ben Simmons make a three pointer?

i saw Fox kick his ass in the tourney- and to me that said something.

Lonzo had a lot of hype and media coverage and the whole Lakers connection --- i think all that hype led him to be #2 overall more so than honest non-biased evaluation.

 

[msgkings322]

I would say since Sabonis is probably fair. Although I think you have to put Pau Gasol in there too.

And since Sabonis didn't come over until he was well into decline phase, that could make Luka the best International prospect of all time.

Which is crazy considering how many great international players we have had over the years.

Dirk says hi, both to you and Luka on the daily
