2018 NBA offseason

[trojanfan12]

But, I'm sure teams like Duke, Carolina etc....have facilities and staffs that rival those on the pro levels.

So, what's the difference really?

The difference is that it's still not NBA teammates, practicing with the team, learning teammates, teams system, how to break down tape, etc., etc.

Places like Duke, UNC, etc. can provide a lot, but they still aren't the NBA and players aren't practicing, training, learning, etc. from the actual NBA teams they will be playing for.

 

[Black Adam]

He's much better than Javele

not ATHLETICALLY, he ain't...

he can pop an occasional trey. so what...?

 

[trojanfan12]

You are usually a really good person to talk basketball with but then you get into these little bitchy modes when you think the honor of LakersNation has been sullied.

Lol. What a load of crap. You had an issue with how much credit Magic seems to be getting and you kept pushing and questioning.

I pointed it out and you decided you were a victim.

Don't get fool by the Warriors version of Javele. They make every role player look much better.

He is hot trash

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

You're a last word freak, that's all
Let's see if you can resist....

you're trying reverse psychology...

cute...


challenge back atcha...

Yeah...

Agree.

ok, well i guess we'll see...

at the very least, he can get out of his own way...

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Meh... Milwaukee has a niche with long and athletic... I don't love Lopez for them... too old school and slow...

... but this isn't a big signing, so not a huge deal.

They need shooting in the worst way.

He can play pick and pop with Giannis or Bledsoe.

Seriously, he might be their best shooter....lol

 

[DJ Fieri]

@DJ

Lopez to the Deer.

I actually love this...

Meh....Knew he was gone pretty much.

Other than James and Rondo I don't knoe what's going on....won't be shocked if Magic signs Melo since he and James are friends.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

better them than us...

dude was too slow to guard my living room chair...

Yeah, Slow-pez was a fitting moniker.

But, y'all gonna have to depend on Mcgee and Zubac....

You only get 6 fouls in the regular Season.

I could see you having to go small with Mo often....

that ain't necessarily a GOOD thing...

Melo to the Lakers or Rockets.

The Lakers need another Center.

Both of your guys are prone to mental blunders and foul trouble from chasing every block.

True to a point. Ability/talent has never been Javale's issue. His issue has always been that he's dumb as a box of rocks.

I think the key that the Warriors figured out and the Lakers will try to emulate is to put him in for a few minutes here and there and get him out before he does something to end up on Shaqtin' A Fool.

 

[Black Adam]

lol, well you got me there...

Zubac gaffing on rebounds, blockouts, and other defensive plays might give the average Joe Fan nightmares for a decade...

 

[DJ Fieri]

Melo to the Lakers or Rockets.

I could see them going with Zublocka, McGee, and Wagner at C.

I'd prefer to add a shooter

^ This is true... can't argue with you here...

... he sure doesn't help their team defense, though. Milwaukee could be one of the best defensive teams in the league if properly motivated/coached.

 

[trojanfan12]

I don't really want Melo. But, a 1 year deal wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing as long as he understands his role.

The problem is, the last quote I remember from him is that he "wasn't sacrificing" and coming off the bench.

If that's his attitude, I say let the Rockets have him. If he finally realizes that he isn't "that guy" anymore and will accept a different role...then he could possibly be the shooter the Lakers need.

the length's obviously there. question of mindset imo...

I think you guys would have taken Mitchell Robinson over Bonga had the Knicks not grabbed him at #36.

He looks like he can develop into a hell of a defender in a few years.

If you don't get Melo, Midget Isiah is available as a rental.

Did he get renounced?

Can't you go over the cap for him?

If LeBron can be all bygones with Lance., midget Isiah shouldn't be a issue either.

heard that, too...

agree. if he can't check his ego,who needs him...?
