2019 Offseason Thread

There are 10 TITLE contenders IMO. My list in no specific order

Bucks
Sixers
Celtics
Clippers
Lakers
Nuggets
Jazz
Blazers
Rockets
Warriors (if Klay comes back healthy)

Rockets no
Blazers a big long shot

But basically wide open, yes

Maybe, maybe not.
Point is Woj didnt speculate 100x
Others did.

That is true....Woj just kept speculating on when we'd hear something and couldn't really get that right either.

 

[dtgold88]

Only on offense. Besides AD, do the Lakers have any elite defenders? Don't think we can count LeBron anymore (he's still quite good).

And definitely still need a couple more shooters.

Much different than saying Kawhi is going to team A and team C is completely out of it

Original discussion was about Cavs getting lucky to be in situation to get James back.

That sure as fuck wasnt 2011.

Keep trying though.

Ok, but you posted something about 2011. Even admitted you were confused and shouldn't have posted it. Instead of leaving it at that, you tried to claim some kind of "win" over your mistake.

Here's a flash - again - if you had simply mentioned the Wiggins draft no one would have argued with you. Have maintained they were lucky to win that one.

The NBA is wide open with lots of teams looking like playoff contenders except for the Mavs.

Mark Cuban sits on his hands while other teams get better.

And definitely still need a couple more shooters.

They've already improved a lot in shooting.

Danny Green and Quinn Cook are both career 40% from 3 and Dudley is at 39%

I have a feeling Lakers still have something up their sleeve...

Might....as hopefully most have figured out. The big moves are not moves we usually hear about.

Say what you will about the guy, but have to think they'd have at least made calls about Love. Would only have to be their #3 and we know he plays well with Lebron.

Just not sure what they could offer for him (as I'm assuming they would not want to include Kuz).

Hard to write off Rockets already. Pretty sure no one but a Durant led GS has beaten them the last couple years in playoffs, right?

They better this is a nice team but not favs imo. I like the 4 moves they made today though

 

[dtgold88]

On that I agree. Woj plays his role well. Don't speculate and report the story after the deal has gone down.

 

[Shanemansj13]

I would say the Lakers will get Cousins. Before his injury him and AD played well together

 

[dtgold88]

They've already improved a lot in shooting.

Danny Green and Quinn Cook are both career 40% from 3 and Dudley is at 39%

Cook and Dudley don't do much for me, but honestly I totally forgot about Green. Seems to disappear often, but should be a good add to play with Lebron for D as well as shooting.

 

[msgkings322]

I totally agree that it isn't just cleveland. All smaller market teams as you said

And not just smaller market...Toronto is not a small market and they can't get any big names to stay let alone new ones to sign there.

 

[dtgold88]

Sure, homie. I dropped the debate a while ago. You're the one still carrying it on. But do you.

says my homie who just cannot help himself while doing him.

 

[msgkings322]

Pacers?

No

The post I made with the 1.7%, Gilbert not being there was only about the Wiggins draft.
I said I knew the 1.7% was correct, but didnt know or care if Gilbert part was true.
You ranted about it being inaccurate countless times, yet it was totally accurate.

 

[dtgold88]

You used no logic. And you're full of shit, nothing new. I said (over & over) between Klay Thompson & Kevin Love I'd rather have Thompson. Nothing else. No other players, just those two. I don't get why you can't understand that. Other than you being stubborn.

You didn't like my selection so then you tried making something up by saying because I'd rather have the shooter (again only talking about Thompson & Love) it somehow meant I'd take Klay over AD & Embiid. You're crazy.

You really should stop the idiotic little game that you like to play. This isn't the 1st time or the last time you'll try to make something up when someone doesn't agree w/ you.

You said you'd take the shooter.....always. Klay is a better shooter than AD and Embiid.

Kuzma for Westbrook.
