NBA Thread

Forget that. Let Cleveland draft Wiggins... He's not going to be a huge contributer for 3 or 4 years... Let him reach free agency and sign him. No one stays in Cleveland. The Cavs getting Wiggins is the best case scenerio.

 

That's 7 years before Wiggins head to FA. f*** that, bring him home now Masai!

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Clearly rigged to pay Cleveland back for losing Lebron.

[Angrioter]

Cleveland could realistically have Canada's national basketball team's starting front court by the next Olympics

 

Nicholson > Bennett

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Wiggins will enjoy himself in the Cleve:

lol @ the nba

[theblujay]

Real winner of the draft was Mallory Edens

Will it ever f***ing end?

 

3 First picks since 2010, 2nd time when they were supposed to be picking from below 7 and they won it

[dineke]

Stop with this rigging talk, why would the NBA rig the lottery for f***ing Cleveland?

[SpeedyGose]

Because they endlessly bitched and complained of collusion when LeBron "abandoned" them

[Glock]

Steven Adams and his brow are throwing down some authoritative dunks.

[jays_fever]

No one honestly should think the draft was rigged. Its just a s***** organization hitting the jackpot once again.

[SpeedyGose]

The chances of winning the lottery 3 times in 4 years is astronomically low. Like under .0006 low

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Everything falling into place. Thunder getting blown out. KD will get frustrated and bolt.

 

KD or die trying

Sefolsha and Perkins are pretty bad basketball players.

 

People like to criticize Westbrook for being a chucker but he and Durant are often the only players on the court who can even make a lay up most of the time.

[SpeedyGose]

Lol ya. Thunder are pretty overrated, they just rely on being more individually talented than other teams. Trouble when you run into well coached teams.

 

Also, Ibaka has a bigger impact than most realize. Probably the best defensive anchor in the league to go with being a good rebounder and hits open shots/spaces the floor.

False.

They are good for a certain role. They're like Barney and Brendan Ryan

It's hard to lose your starting center and compete against teh best team of our generation.

 

The Spurs are going 100% in the playoffs. They clearly took the regular season off and still won like 60 games. They're a powerhouse. Says more about the Spurs than it says about OKC IMO.

[dineke]

Kawhi Leonard is such a stud. I wish they had gotten another draft pick in 2011 and gotten both JV and Leonard. He would be the perfect SF for the raptors.

[jays_fever]

What role, watching Durant and Westbrook do everything?

I love this Spurs team, they're such a joy to watch. Duncan, Parker and Leonard are all amazing

[SpeedyGose]

Keep an eye on Elfrid Payton as a potential draft pick @ 20. Looks like Avery Bradley 2.0, except more explosive and longer wingspan

[GD]

I like Payton, but I don't think we'll be looking at him.

[jays_fever]

Rodney Hood would be an interesting option if he fell to 20. Not much of a defender but he has size and can really shoot/ score the ball.

[GD]

^want

I heard the Grizz are looking to trade their HC for a Timberwolves 2nd round pick. What the f*** is going on in that org

There are rumors about everyone. Mike Conley being one of them (guy is a stud). Randolph probably comes back for at least one more year....

 

I don't get it either. They have a really good team.

[jays_fever]

Their coach wanted a more up tempo team and tried to force them to play that way until. The loses piled up. Bad fit I suppose

[Glock]

I thought Joerger was leaving because Robert Pera is canning everybody right now. Edited May 23, 2014 by Glock

False.

I'll give you Sefolosha because of the good defense, but Perkins is terrible in every aspect of the game of basketball.
