2018 NBA offseason

That happened so often.
Will LeBron throw games again?

wtf are you talking about? throwing games? lol

the only game in LeBrons career I think he actually "threw" was Game 5 in Boston.

If he was happy to play 25-30 minutes a night, get his double digit rebounds, his put backs, not have plays called for him, run the court etc...taht would be cool. If he thinks he should play 30+ minutes a night and get the touches that a first or second option gets and have the team play inside out, etc. then i think its an absolute disaster.

Don't think Hassan will have any problems if he was at 30 MPG.

He was at 29 MPG in 2015-2016 & 32 MPG in 2016-2017.

Last year he was at 22 MPG in the last 2 months of the season which when he started complaining about. He only avg 26 MPG before the AS break and never made it an issue.

Can't blame a starting C for expecting to play more than 22 MPG

Go back and watch the film of the games right before the I.T. trade.
His effort was mininal at best.

thats true- i guess the touches are what seems to be more important....

I just think the worst thing you can do is give a big man a ton of touches and play an inside out game and make hi mthe #1 or #2 option. You just dont see that anymore practically ANYWHERE in the NBA and i certainly think Whtieside is not good enough to garner the touches that i think he thinks he deserves.

He's been working on his outside shot for a while.

do you want the Heat to basically feature him, play him 30 minutes a game and give him 13-15 shots a game, and play an inside/out style?

personally - id much rather play Bam and Onlyk at center and go small and run and go heavy on shooting and switching.

I want him to be more involved. That doesn't have to include more shots

how many teams do you think would offer whiteside a max now?

The Cavs apparently.

Exactly, if the trade rumors are true.

He’d run up and down the court for 4-5 consecutive minutes without a touch, get frustrated, then commit stupid foul(s).

Wonder how Portland does this yr. They did pretty good last year and still have some good talent (Lillard and Mccollum) but the West is loaded. Can Portland overcome all that or will they get lost in the shuffle?

7 of first 10 are on the road and they could easily start 0-7 or worse, it sucks.
