2014 NBA Off-Season; Paul George suffers a double-compund-fracture, likely out for season. Speedy re

that's what OKC needs, another corpse for Scott Brooks to overplay.

O/U on Jeremy Lamb playing 20 minutes per game? I'll take the under just cause Brooks is clueless.

In Brooks' defense (that hurt to type) Lambo hit a really hard wall near the ASB. 

His own admission to "not caring about defense." didn't help either.

OKC has young talent that they refuse to use. Instead they go after more over the hill players in hopes they travel back in time 6 years

What OKC needs is a new coach. Point blank period

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Lamb said that? Damn never knew. Dude should continue riding the bench then. Not caring about defense, go work a minimum wage job then.

Lance & Kemba are both pretty good shooters tho... It's not like they would lack scoring ability in Total. Not to mention ideally they could get a shooter at the 3 to back up MKG and be money.

With Kemba & Lance ability to get to the basket a real knockdown shooter would FEAST in a line up with them.

But in all honesty i could literally see this lineup being a top 4-5 in the East next year. They have a lot of cap and will be able to sign some good pieces off the bench even if they do land Lance. & Defensively they would be TOUGH

man I'm done...

ESPN Free Agent Board had the Heat with only enough money to sign Chris Humphries as their highest paid off-season addition

Ainge still regrets letting Tony Allen go. With Meeks getting paid not surprised to see him get what he got.

Overall I'm happy we're keeping him, Bradley and Smart going to be crazy defensively.

Or which escorts they have waiting

 

[AEA18]

I wonder which strip club dwight n harden take Melo during his "recruitment"

Which club does Maliah work @?

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Avery Bradley getting 8 mill a year? Idk about that one.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Any word on if slim thug will be assisting in the recruitment?

 

[blastercombo]

OKC could use another defensive player too. A tony Allen type player. Couple that with ibaka and they'd hold teams to 60-70 a game

 

[011781]

Bradley getting paid for that lock down defense ... word to Revis Island

having those guys as security blankets, isn't a bad thing.. scott brooks' dependency upon those guys is

last year during the regular season, with westbrook missing the amount of guys he missed.. and Thabo and perkins both missing 20 plus games each

one of brooks major priorities during the REGULAR season should have been to get Jackson, lamb, PJ3 and adams consistent mins on a nightly basis.. just in case they would be needed in the playoffs

OKC needs another shooter so actually not a bad pickup if Miller signs there

The problem is since harden left the OKC bench has been a non factor aside from occasional big games from Reggie. OKC literally has 3 options for scoring and ONE play to do so.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Not as bad as what I initially thought he said. More of an immaturity/growing issue than a disdain for defense and effort on both ends. Kid has some talent as a scorer and he's long enough to be annoying at times on defense, he needs to keep growing and that PT will come eventually.

 

[blastercombo]

Because thabo lights it up and plays great D?

 

[NickFolarin]

With Howard's 9 baby mamas (plus his underage girls visit), Harden's habit of tricking on women, and the abundance of strip clubs.... Lala ain't letting that s*** happen. Melo is going to sightsee and give Houston a thanks-but-no-thanks.

He had some PT, 

unfortunately him hittin' that wall hard  forced Presti to pick up Caron Butler.

Huge mistake.

Both he and PJIII expressed an admiration for Russ playin' both sides of the ball with intensity (ain't always true but..) and expressed commitment on working on defense during the off season.

2012-2013 Thabo was nice. 44% from 3 (or something?), great defense...

2014 Thabo?

Yuck.

Gonna miss Bertille.

These dudes are high as ****

I always wonder how trashed some of these dudes get together when they get together for their lil recruiting parties. It's just like college visits..,yeah you go and meet the coach and see the facilities and such but for the most part you already know all the basketball part of it, you're just trying to see who you'd like to hang out with for the next 4-5 years of your life.

with westbrook back.. that should help things a lot.. because that then moves reggie back to the bench, to provide that "harden" role (or at least it should)

we start out with: westbrook, lamb, KD, ibaka and adams

we sub in reggie for lamb early (say 5 min mark).. then you stagger the mins of westbrook and Durant, so they are taking rest at different periods (but you're trying keep them around 35 mins per)

with 4 guys playing 30 or more mins per (kd, westbrook, ibaka and reggie), it shouldn't be hard to work out substitution patterns were there isn't a real lull in the offense (since your integrating guys around those 4)
