2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

[knowyourenemy]

Denadre Jordan, Dennis Rodman, Mark Price, Danny Ainge, Draymond Green, Manu Ginobili, Marc Gasol & Nikola Jokic all say hello.

You picked 8 players drafted in the last 30 years as a counterpoint? There have been 900 players selected in the second round in that time span. That’s less than 1%.

Buds good at that

honestly Buds was one of the best moves of the offseason for any team

i said it too- I thought he was an amazing hire- and one of the best 5 coaches in the league- i have no clue why the Hawks got rid of him- the Hawks won like 60 games that one year with a great system because of Buds.

What a great get by Milwaukee. His signing cannot be over-stated. It just might be a key piece to keeping Giannis there for the long long term.

The great coaching and stability that bringing in Buds is just awesome


plus have you ever seen the daughter of the Bucks' owner? SMOKING!

Pay attention to the end of my comment when I posted this- . Thanks for taking my sarcastic comment seriously.

Too funny.

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

FYI- he was only the #2 because Kyrie left lol

not in todays NBA as we are seeing

it seems the going price for a pretty good rental is 2 2nd rounders. they kind of operate as grease on trades too- to kind of even things up

they of course are not anything close to major assets thats for sure- and the probability of getting a real player is low- but if you take enough swings you are gonna get a hit at some point

Second rounders are valuable due to the CBA now too. Sometimes they're even preferable to late 1st round picks, if they're early seconds.

I like how everyone acts like there are tons of examples of one-year rentals staying with the rental team, when its really just Paul George.

Pacers got Dipo (when his value was a lot less than it is now) and Sabonis and no picks for the rental of Paul George.

Worked out very well for the Thunder (and the Pacers), but they still paid just a rental price for him.

There only needs to be one to set an example my friend. lol

Only except with KD they made the WCF AND the Finals lol

Season is still going. Also, the strength of your opponents determines a lot of how far you get. This team can be better than that one even if the Warriors prevent them from making the Finals.

So you think OKC is going to win a championship this year? Because that's what it would take for this season's team to be better than the Durant years.
That was just a non-factual & flat out dumb statement.

There have been lots of quality picks in the 2nd round the last 10 years or so. They may not all be stars, but quality rotational players and solid starters have been common.

2009 - Jonas Jerebko, Patrick Beverly, Jodie Meeks, Marcus Thornton, Danny Green, Patty Mills
2010 - Hassan Whiteside, Landry Fields, Lance Stephenson, Nemanja Bjelica
2011 - Bojan Bogdanovic, Shelvin Mack, Chandler Parsons, E'Twaun Moore, Isaiah Thomas
2012 - Tomas Satoranksy, Jae Crowder, Draymond Green, Quincy Acy, Quincy Miller, Khris Middleton, Will Barton, Kyle O'Quinn, Mike Scott
2013 - Allen Crabbe, Alex Abrines, Isaiah Canaan, Mike Muscala
2014 - Joe Harris, Spencer Dinwiddie, Jerami Grant, Nikola Jokic, Dwight Powell, Jordan Clarkson, Glenn Robinson III
2015 - Cedi Osman, Montrezl Harrell, Willy Hernangomez, Richaun Holmes, Pat Connaughton, Norman Powell
2016 - Ivica Zubac, Malcolm Brogdon, Tyler Ulis

2017/18 picks are too early to tell yet.

Always so salty. Take up your complaint with the people who agree with me. So, everyone.

I was just joking around. Here's another 2nd rounder (and M. Price's teammate)- John 'hotrod' Williams. I typed in the best 2nd NBA picks of all time & took some names off that list.

Stop it, just admit that was a stupid statement and move on. And only salty OKC fans will agree with that crap. SMH

Why are you always so angry? Also I'm right and you're wrong, this OKC team would beat that one

I generally pay no mind to the smiley faces on here.

Anyway, glad you weren’t serious.

KD to Knicks confirmed, but also the Warriors do have the means to spend if he changes his mind.

Why do you always think when someone doesn't agree with you that they are angry? I pointed out facts to you so take your opinions out of it.

Factually this OKC team has not performed better than the teams with KD on it.

The first season without KD they were a 1st round exit in the playoffs.

Last season after trading for PG they only won 1 more game than the previous season and again were a 1st round exit.

Regular season records can fluctuate & don't always tell the true story, however I'm pretty sure most people will measure a team's success by how they perform in the playoffs. And in this case 1st round exits miss the mark when compared to the seasons w/ KD.

that 2012 class was pretty bad ass--- Green, Middleton, Barton, Satoransky is decent, Scott has hung around.....

2014 pretty damn good too- of course cornw jewel Jokic, but Clarkson, Harris, Dinwiddie are all legit NBA players.

nd of course 2015- THE CEDI OSMAN!!!!!
