2019-2020 Official Regular Season Thread

I think Looney will be nice for that offense...it would really surprise me if he doesn't work out with this team tbh.

Burks is a nice deadline asset for sure, so is WCS.

Oh yeah I want the Warriors to keep Looney. I actually think he'll be one of our most productive players this year. I wouldn't be surprised if he upped his average to close to 10 pts per game. Also wouldn't be shocked if he starts shooting 3's this year. In the past he's not been asked to produce offensively, but he has the skillset. Also he shot 40% from 3 his one year in college.

I don't want the Warriors to trade Looney, just saying he's probably the most attractive trade piece they have.

 

[bksballer89]

fair point....but still could be something that would have kept anyone out.

Exactly. Once again it is called personal reasons for a reason lol.

Not hard to understand

 

[shopson67]

I mean, he isn't a star but the idea a fan of a team like the Lakers wouldn't want him is absurd.

Exactly how do you propose the Lakers obtain TT? He makes too much to be a viable trade option. If he's waived, sure, dump Dwight's ass for him.

 

[shopson67]

Waiters and Johnson- 2 awful signings by Riley -- 2 guys he gave long term deals to that were just basically setting money and cap space on fire.

Those guys are both under contract for not only this season but ALSO next season at a combined 30 million dollars (roughly)

Are you finally willing to admit that Waiters was a horrible draft pick that early?

 

[shopson67]

Doesn't change the fact that we are deep.

They have 11 or 12 guys that can make a case of being in the rotation. That's a deep team

"we" lol

 

[shopson67]

I'd take him on the Lakers in a heartbeat. Solid rebounder, good defender, doesn't need the ball, knows how to play with Lebron and if they still had Javale or Dwight on the roster, AD would almost never have to play the 5 spot.

What's not to like?

That salary, unless the Cavs give him away.

 

[Black Adam]

Yeah...who wants a guy who can go for a double double any night, will play any role asked, can switch onto a perimeter guy as well or better than any big and will be among the league leaders in offensive rebounds.

yeeeeaaaahhhhh...

you were also the guy who swore KLove was just as good as AD...

you'll pardon me, of course, if i think your "assessment" is a bit...tainted...

 

[Black Adam]

agree...that's a mistake to omit him.

About as silly as you thinking your team could not use TT who would only be your second best big.

yes, EVERY player that wears the ol' wine and gold is fantastic...

STILL pass...

 

[Black Adam]

That salary, unless the Cavs give him away.

EXACTLY...

'sides, why help the Cavs outta THEIR problems...?

#fuck'em

 

[dtgold88]

Yet the Heat still have a very good, and deep rotation.
Herro is a beast.
What about Nunn?
And, go watch the game film of Silva from last night.
The Heat can come at you hard for 48 minutes.

1 game. Just saying.

 

[dtgold88]

After the fact. I posted the facts from last year that Russ didn't close the reason he missed a game due to personal reasons UNTIL AFTER.

Are you really saying guys don't disclose BEFORE the game takes place they will be missing the game for the birth of a child?

 

[dtgold88]

You of all people are saying this

Yes, I am...because if I make a mistake, especially one that can be considered factually incorrect, I own it.

Know how you know? Because in this situation I forgot about AD and admitted as much. Wasn't that hard.

 

[dtgold88]

yes, EVERY player that wears the ol' wine and gold is fantastic...

STILL pass...

Would TT be your second best big if you had him?

 

[bksballer89]

Are you really saying guys don't disclose BEFORE the game takes place they will be missing the game for the birth of a child?

I'm saying not everyone make it public as i showed with Russ last year. I'm sure the Heat knows whatever happened.

 

[dtgold88]

EXACTLY...

'sides, why help the Cavs outta THEIR problems...?

#fuck'em

He's an expiring contract playing for a salary that today is not crazy at all. A good locker room guy and solid player.

How, exactly, is he a problem?

 

[bksballer89]

So now the 2 cavs fans would like personal reasons/family issues should be disclosed to the media.

Players deserve privacy. Hope you guys know that

On this I agree, but you said in post 690 "They never give specifics. There's a reason it is called personal reason."

I get you are one of the many 100% guys and get confused when someone can see both sides but, in fact, I said wiggy was wrong for ripping the guy without knowing why he missed the game.

And, yes, I do believe when it is the birth of a child it is more often mentioned than not and disclosed to the media before the game is even missed.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

That salary, unless the Cavs give him away.

Last year of his deal.

If healthy, he's worth the roll of the dice...

If you don't have to give up much to get him, like you stated.

lol, those memories of Whiteside DOMINATING his short ass still are stuck in my mind...
