2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Black Adam]

Nope. If my opinion were Lebron was not very good I suspect you might try and refute it.

You claimed you were so worried about missing games. I only pointed out the guy you are hoping your team gets has missed just as many over the last half a decade or so.

Why? First off, I don't even LIKE LeClown. never have, never will...

2nd, I simply said Love was hurt too much for my taste. You're the one that wanted to toss in AD's injury history as a counter. And quite honestly, there's no comparison between the 2 players...

but DO keep on trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill...

My team may actually be in a worse spot than the Cavs long term so no lol

Who do you root for?

 

[dtgold88]

Sure, but he doesn't.....getting paid an insane amount for an injury prone player. That contract will haunt the Cavs in a few seasons.

Or he will be one of the players helping a young core or be moved by then.

Great game in Boston... turn it on if you ain't watching.

 

[dtgold88]

My comment was entirely in jest

I know the Lakers wouldn't take on Love and that deal

If they struck out in FA next offseason I bet they'd go all out to get him.

Detroit

Hold your breath on that one. He'll be 32 going on 33.....


Never been known as a mentor.

I'm watching

Great game from start to finish

 

[dtgold88]

I bet you wouldn't mind since there are no winning days in sight for Cle. SMH

Of course that plays a part in it. and? Seems to work well in the NFL. I doubt fans in smaller cities mind being able to hold onto their star players.

 

[LAD]

That's true, but Love is a better scorer, rebounder and shooter than Green. could probably pass as well, but is needed to score. Green is a better defender.

Well when Love is out more than he plays it's hard to see he's better than anyone.

Yeah, you put up with undesirable traits when the player is good enough.

Kevin Love is in Blake Griffin's tier, not Anthony Davis.

Pistons

I've made several jokes on here at their expense

But hey I've got to witness a few good runs

Never said there was a comparison between them as players (thought there is if you care to compare their first 7 or so years in the league).

IF you are truly worried about injury history I would think AD would not be "your taste".

OKC closed that gap.

But, Boston just went back up 5.

It's a reason the Cavs kept him around. A mentor? Maybe not as he's quiet, but definitely could lead by example.

Also not that explosive where age should factor too much for him.

No one in the league reminds me more of Kobe with the ball in his hands than Irving.

"The trade of Rodney Hood to Portland will see Cleveland create a $3.47M trade exception. The Cavaliers have a $2.8M and $1.5M exception from prior trades. Nik Stauskas and Wade Baldwin are on an expiring $1.5M minimum contract. The Cavaliers are now $4.47M under the luxury tax."

Probably as not bad enough this season to get a top pick (most likely). Not sure about their cap situation.

same type of location, though, so gonna take some luck for either to get back to the top. as you said, though, as least you had a couple nice runs (1 for us that included a title, but loved our team from the late 80s).
