2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

[tlance]

so coach, Mecca says she's a loyal follower of yours on these boards. Any others we should know about...?

#sportsboardzombies

Most of my groupies reside on the fantasy football boards.

Mecca is probably a little better looking than them though. No offense guys!

 

[LAD]

I am just so amused by this guy.

He actually said " You sided with T Lance over Wiggy" ........


I am starting to think this guy is either a mental patient, drug addict or a minor.

The Clippers gave up a 1st for Green means I agree and I'm pledging fealty....lol

Clearly he didn't lurk here before joining & posting lol

"Aren't promising Tatum". Man, if Tatum has another great postseason, and the Celtics get to a 6 game NBA Finals...it's reasonable to believe that Ainge is gonna try to keep Tatum, and the Pels are gonna just have to take what they get from whomever they get it from

 

[dtgold88]

I am comparing how each player is important to their respective teams. YOU are comparing them player to player which is a pretty flawed argument given we're talking about a game of match ups.

If you aren't good at math let me help you. Love and Kyrie missed 11 games between them Green and Bogus missed 2.5

11 > 2.5

Never mind Bogut played about 10 minutes/game when he was healthy.

As much as I'd like to see AD in Celtics Green unless Ainge gets a guarantee that The Unibrow will resign I wouldn't trade Tatum.

 

[dtgold88]

Well, we will find out when AD leaves. And we already know the answer to that question in regard to Love, yes? It resulted in LBJ leaving him to be the player that changes the Cavs franchise lol

How about we look at Minny after Love left (they fell off the map after a 40 win season) to NO minus AD.

I don't understand how the Lakers saying they won't make an offer in the summer is bad for NO. I mean, why would NO WANT to trade him in their same conference? If the Lakers bow out that should be looked at as a favor....or all that talk is bluff. Either way NO can't lose by waiting. SMH

 

[dtgold88]

Can you please follow the conversation?

I am saying I know the Cavs would get at least a 1st and a 2nd if Love were expiring. I think maybe 2 firsts.

He is not expiring though. So he is not worth that because of his contract.

Try and practice what you preach. I get you said that, I'm pointing out mecca agreed with you which is odd since she said they could not get an asset for Love. Weird knowing you think they could get 2 firsts you would not correct her.

 

[dtgold88]

I get that AD has already FAR out performed Love if we're comparing them at the same age group. And we only have to look at the defensive side of the floor to EASILY reach that conclusion my friend.

I also know that teams are willing to throw the kitchen sink at NO for AD. That wasn't the case with Love in his prime.

Not sure how anyone "far outperforms" a guy who went for around 26 and 14 per game.

 

[LAD]

How about we look at Minny after Love left (they fell off the map after a 40 win season) to NO minus AD.

Why would we do that when the conversation was about LOVE...and not what Minny was left with after the trade?
Why don't you just agree Love can't hold AD's jock strap & move on already?!?

 

[dtgold88]

I don't know...

Siakam is a pretty good defender.

If they were a team in need of an offensive host, Love.

But, they are doing pretty well on both sides of the Ball.

Plus....compare those contracts.

But we are talking about a 3-4 year window and it's not like they'll be attracting a FA with the money they'd save with Siakam. 20-10 guys who hit 3s are rare ya know.

 

[dtgold88]

Da Fuq?

Is this even English?

You are stepping on your words more than you've been stepping on your Dick.

Take a deep breath and try again.

Who said what?

pretty simple. Lance said they'd get 2 firsts for Love. You of course backed him. Even after you claimed they couldn't get any asset of significance for him.

I get it's not in you to admit your logic was off base, so I wont ask you do it.

But nice try with the "da fuq"? If you don't get it, check out the post yourself.

Well thank you Captain Obvious. With insider info like that how do you not have Jeff Van Gundy's job? You better send in a resume pronto.

 

[dtgold88]

And when would all that scoring be happening? Isn't he hurt RIGHT NOW?!? Lol

You could not kick your own ass more if you tried. AD is also hurt. Guess LA wont want him?

 

[dtgold88]

Dude, check out what the Bucks traded for George Hill this year. I mean if you're a Cavs fan you should know what the market price for a huge expiring is. Bucks traded Delly and Henson, a 1st rd pick and 2nd rd pick for George Hill and Sam Dekker.

Huh? I never said whether I agreed or not.....I only pointed out the comedy of mecca agreeing after saying no team would offer any assets that mattered for Love.

 

[LAD]

Lol first off Love only averaged those #s 2 seasons out of 10 ('11 & '13).
Second, Love's career average is only 18 & 11 per game.

AD is averaging 24 & 10 in 3 less years played. SMH

 

[Mecca]

How about we look at Minny after Love left (they fell off the map after a 40 win season) to NO minus AD.

Lmfao

It was a short fall.

That was the only time in his tenure that they won 40 games.

24, 15, 17, 26, 31 and 40.

That's the amount of wins Kevin led the Wolves to

 

[dtgold88]

Clearly he didn't lurk here before joining & posting lol

Nope....but it's funny you don't think the loon is the one who said the cavs can't get an asset for Love, then agreed they could get 2 firsts for him.

 

[LAD]

And you claim others have a comprehensive challenge. My GAWD.

I am still waiting for you to quote that post.

Spoiler alert...

You can't because it doesn't exist.
