2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I remember when @tlance used to argue that Wall was a better bet than Irving to guide a franchise. Yikes.

Eh.....I was on the Wall train too.

I said he was a better pg than Kyrie because I saw Kyrie as a SG.

Magic Johnson to the Pelicans

Dude....I didn't know they added Hart to the deal and the Pelicans still said no....lol

 

[DJ Fieri]

I don't know, everyone keeps saying the Pels can't draw free agents, that quantity may become very important.

Yep.

 

[dtgold88]

Yeah, I didn't think he would subject himself to Lavar.

But, have you noticed how quiet Lavar has been?

I wonder if they told him to shut it or Lonzo is gone?

Off topic.....

Did you see the Wall injury news?

I put him ahead of Hayward, Noah, Parsons on the untradeable contract list.....lol

I do think Magic said something like "if we have to we'll trade his son". Lavar has been hanging out a lot in my area watching LaMelo play.

I did hear about Wall. Wow. Only thing that puts him ahead of those guys is he's a superstar if he is healthy....but those are not easy to come back from.

That is disgusting LOL

ouch

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Magic Johnson to the Pelicans

Im sorry the Pels are nuts.

 

[dtgold88]

I can't believe the Wizards could rationalize paying a HEALTHY Wall that much money. Houston is in much the same boat with CP3. There are select few players worth that kind of money. If you get to the 10+ years 35% max territory, tread lightly, GMs!

Sometimes teams can't help themselves as they think if they don't sign these guys someone else will. Obviously, they often should let someone else.

 

[dtgold88]

i dont see why they would f with the team they have

dont get me worng- id rather have gasol and conley over jv and lowry---- but geez.....why let the cat out of the bag on a deal that is so likely not to happen?

and this is another reason these rumors can be baseless and made up. Have to think Toronto would look at it exactly as you just said.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Dude....I didn't know they added Hart to the deal and the Pelicans still said no....lol

The Lakers offered the ENTIRE young core plus two first rounders and the Pelicans still rejected the deal.

Now they want 6-8 picks.

At this point it's just too much. I get AD is a superstar but they're not going to get a better deal.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

I'm a bit confused by the Detroit and Grizzlies trade. So they are just wanting Reggie Jackson?

There has to be more to that. I get his contract blows.

 

[raptorlife4]

Toronto is going to make a move no doubt I dont believe the Grizz deal though

 

[trojanfan12]

That's what I thought.....now it seems there are more than one who doesn't get that all I was talking about were trade rumors and, yes, spin and deflect as you might the "negotiations are negotiations of...say it with me......trades.

Uh, you are wrong on this.

A trade rumor is a rumor when there are no negotiations. Once the negotiations start, it is no longer a rumor.

For example, all of this started with reports that the Lakers were interested in AD. At that point, those were rumors.

However, once the Lakers and the Pels started talking, it became a negotiation and was no longer a rumor.

 

[dtgold88]

dJ give me a break- do you not know posturing when you see it?

But in his defense he did see it in a report from unnamed sources. So it must be true. I kid...I kid. Sort of

But you are correct...it's called negotiating.

 

[gordontrue]

Toronto is going to make a move no doubt I dont believe the Grizz deal though

Yeah I don't know why the Grizz would take on Lowry.

I'd imagine they're looking for young players and picks.

You live in Ohio?

I heard Lamelo has been playing well.

He always looked like he had the most natural talent of the 3.

But, he was a Shit team player.

 

[dtgold88]

They are refusing to keep bidding against themselves. They will address a counter offer if it comes.

right...and it's exactly how they should play it.

[Shanemansj13]

Dude....I didn't know they added Hart to the deal and the Pelicans still said no....lol

LMAO

Magic is an idiot, if he would have added McGee the Lakers would have AD

Javvvvvvale McGeeeee!!
