2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Don't think it's been mentioned here yet but Elton Brand is turning out to be a pretty damn good GM. That's two huge deals that you would call big wins for his club in a matter of months. Good for him.

Amen....I hated hearing before the season the Cavs thought they could fight for an 7-8 seed.

Getting obliterated in the first round by the Dubs is not worth losing our draft pick this year.

He's batting 1,000.

So, how are we ranking the East?

Call it trade induced psychosis...

But, I have it....

1. Philly

2. Raptors

3. Bucks

4. Celtics

I'd switch Bucks and Raps as of now.

Nobody here is doubting he can play or his toughness. His issues are availability and pay scale vs the cap. $30M per is a lot to invest in a 3rd option on a good team if that player isn't really in their physical prime any longer.

An FYI Love was a #2 option on a good team last season. Only team that stopped them beats everyone.

Love when a fake account fools someone

Wasn't fooled. Was trying to troll DJ. @Mecca ruined my game. After all we've been through (mainly me).

I think at this point I'd rather have JR. Both?

I'm torn....

JR. Likely helps them more.

But, Melo can be had for a stale Twinkie and a half empty can of coke zero.

 

[dtgold88]

Kyle Korver.

Korver and Bullock are pretty much the same player, but Bullock is a better defender and Korver is a little better on the treys. But, Bullock is no slouch.

That's fair, but no one considered Korver to be a big move. Still time, though.

Hopefully I deleted it before it was seen.

I'm not sure a twinkie can go stale....at least not in the wrapper.

Not sure who the Philly fans here are, but congrats

Tobias Harris is the new Eddie Jones.

Really good player that was traded many times due to no fault of their own.

Eastern champions always get to claim that, even if they wouldn't make it far through the Western playoff ladder.

Eddie Jones was one of my favorite players

WiggyRuss did.......had a Korver fathead on his ceiling and used it for target practice.....

I noticed the fake acct before you even commented.
