Official Offseason News and Rumors

[LAD]

Agreed.

But, that's why you have to love guys like Dirk and Duncan.

Not only did they stay loyal, they took extensive pay cuts to keep winning.

If Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimmy doesn't make another penny, he's still set for life financially.

But, he's still winning Championships.

And Dallas?

Outside of MAYBE Charlotte, nobody has had a better Offseason.

They are gonna be right up there with the Clips and Warriors fighting for that 3-6 seed in the West.

Let's try this again...
I like Cuban more as a business owner after watching him on Shark Tank rather than a basketball teamm owner.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I think DURANT...KYRIE [now]....KOBE.....DUNCAN...are just a few to name...

That will end their careers there..

I half ass thought the TRUTH was coming back to BEAN TOWN...

Many believe Durant will go back to DC after his contract ends.

I think he stays in OKC for the long haul.

Speaking of Timmy I really thought he was gonna call it a career after the Spurs won it all. The West will be brutal again this year & the East is still weak. Of course the off season moves aren't over yet but as of right now I don't see a team from the East winning it all.

 

[LAD]

I think it was a forgone conclusion that he was staying.

Nobody wanted Wade on a max deal.

But, I think is foolish to think nobody wanted him period.

I think he knew only the Heat would pay him what he thinks he's still worth..and foolish 2 think any other team would do so.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I just don't get Cavs fans that say they don't need Love, they do. This team as presently constructed isn't winning a title (even James said that)....Wiggins may be great in 3-4 years, but LeBron is nearly 30 and he's never had a serious injury....but he's played in close to 1,000 games and has 3-4 really good seasons left. By the time Wiggins becomes a star, LeBron will be starting to decline imo. He has a lot of mileage on his body for being just 30.

 

[DJ Fieri]

And when James starts to decline, Irving and Love would still be in their primes.

 

[Shield-Thread Killa]

hah

...i don't think many teams if any reached out. And, 4 good reason.

IMO it was because of the word "NO!!!!!!!"

But I can see your point as well..

Injury prone VET who requires limited minutes for big bucks...

A player who has never really lead blah blah blah blah...

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Let's try this again...
I like Cuban more as a business owner after watching him on Shark Tank rather than a basketball teamm owner.

Maybe...

But, his team will be very good next year after being left at the alter so many times.

Tyson, Dirk, Parsons, Nelson, Monta is a nice mix lineup.

Top 6, easily, in a stacked West.

 

[Wamu]

I think DURANT...KYRIE [now]....KOBE.....DUNCAN...are just a few to name...

I half ass thought the TRUTH was coming back to BEAN TOWN...

Maybe but KD & KI still have many years left. Durant & the Thunder...I'm not sure Durant & Westbrook alone will ever win it all. I wouldn't be surprised if somewhere down the road one of those 2 leave OKC.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I think he knew only the Heat would pay him what he thinks he's still worth..and foolish 2 think any other team would do so.

Same with Kobe .

 

[Shield-Thread Killa]

naw

Go pull a Jim J, Sac-Town and BM and piss of Hammer. That should get you ban hammered.

I got other plans...

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

Agreed.

Is that with or without Doc coaching?

Kidding Mecca. Sucks what's still going on out there.

and HI!

Yeah....He wasn't gonna get a monster offer anywhere.

But, lets not pretend he was straight garbage, despite sitting half the Season.

 

[Shield-Thread Killa]

you all dat n a bag of DORITOS

Many believe Durant will go back to DC after his contract ends.

I think he stays in OKC for the long haul.

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

ummm.. you should consider that for yourself.

 

[TxHeat]

Maybe...

But, his team will be very good next year after being left at the alter so many times.

Tyson, Dirk, Parsons, Nelson, Monta is a nice mix lineup.

Top 6, easily, in a stacked West.

and the fact that so little credit is given to Carlisle. He is one of the best coaches in league.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Speaking of Timmy I really thought he was gonna call it a career after the Spurs won it all. The West will be brutal again this year & the East is still weak. Of course the off season moves aren't over yet but as of right now I don't see a team from the East winning it all.

I think he stayed because they have a great shot to reach the finals again.

They kept EVERYONE and even managed to land another Pop-like Player in Kyle Anderson.

The West is stacked.

But, the Thunder and Spurs are still the creme of the crop.

 

[Shield-Thread Killa]

2 SEATTLE?

Maybe but KD & KI still have many years left. Durant & the Thunder...I'm not sure Durant & Westbrook alone will ever win it all. I wouldn't be surprised if somewhere down the road one of those 2 leave OKC.

Every day I'm hustling..

and DIE!

So Kyrie is a better spot jump shooter then Ray Allen or Mike Miller or James Jones?
Negative to all 3 (even though I understand that probably only Allen would actually be on the court).

Didn't Kyrie usually dribble down court and then if he saw the opportunity, just shoot a 3?

Kyrie is a career PG.

If James is handling the ball, then he will basically have to invent a new part to his game.
If Kyrie is handling the ball and then just shooting, it mans James isn't touching the ball.

His mid-range is one of the best on the game IMO. No but he will be on the floor more and with Wade being the 2nd option in Miami he couldn't shoot the 3 like Kyrie. I didn't mean he was better than those 3 pt shooters, but he has more options now.

Kyrie will be throwing the lob to Lebron, he is one of the best ball handlers in the league if not the best. If Bron does pass it to Kyrie, Kyrie is also a very good passer. Behind-the-back lob, anyone??
