2016 Official NBA Off-Season Thread: Former Greatness

[cpf262]

People sleeping on Pau.

You see, basketball teams and games are won in pieces. In order to succeed, you need all the right pieces that fit together. Pau would be perfect for POR and fill a nice void on their team.

The Bulls weren't a good fit for him, but he's a still great PF/C option. He would do great on the right team.


They have too many similar pieces, not a complete set.

When all is said and done pau will be one of the more underrated players of his generation.

 

[krazy88s]

I like the moves the Nets made so far. Thumbs up.

Portland choosing Pau over Crabbe/Harkless

Evan Turner is the 3. You don't need Harkless.

If you're just adding Pau to your team & don't have to get rid of anyone, then it's a great move.

If you're not close to a title and you're paying him so much that you can't keep your young players, it's a stupid move.

The latter situation is what Portland is in.

 

[juleswinnfield]

you don't think Gasol is worth that? He's easily worth that in my opinion. Assuming its a 2-3 year deal

Would have loved to see him end it on the Lakers.

He's the kind of guy you want to keep around in the front office, unless he truly does decide to be some brain surgeon when he retires

Definitely worth it.

Na I don't want him traded.

I want to see him suffer tryna carry the team without Noah, without Thibodeau, without Rose, etc etc. Let's see that bum *** do everything cuz that's what he been wanting to do

You think you a star, Jimmy. Let's see our money's worth!

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Didn't realize harkless was also a rfa along with crabbe

Dame, turner, pau and Leonard defensively seems great

Rather keep young promising talent like harkless and crabbe

Please don’t bring “Why would Voulgaris break it” when a random gym trainer had LeBron first. Things get out.

Wish Pau went to Minny

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Go to Boston or stay in OKC please Kd....pleasssse

This. Don't make me hate you

 

[juleswinnfield]

Portland paying Turner is horrible.


Brad Stevens a magician.

No. Turner is a Grant Hill super super lite

 

[a-friend]

@NateDuncanNBA Quick look at the math indicates a 2/$40 contract for Gasol could mean dumping Crabbe and either Leonard or Harkless holds for POR

Super Stupid!

 

[everysingletime]

Wish Pau went to Minny

They have absolutely no use for Pau in Minny.

Got Aldrich. Got KAT. That team is young and athletic and should be playing uptempo.

 

[getback]

Boston brought the whole city to meet with KD.

It's not even that serious g, what are they gonna get Tom Brady to send KD to his weird body guru or something?


It should be about basketball only, KD has showed that he cares about the game and winning above everything, he's a superstar but he's not a high maintenance guy.

It is that serious though. This team needs a bona fide superstar to contend for a title. I hope they gave him the Chick Deagan treatment.

No. Turner is a Grant Hill super super lite

Grant hill lite lite three years after he retired and if he theoretically had more ankle surgeries

 

[a-friend]

Shoulda never gave you teams money

 

[a-friend]

I wish RFG would weigh in on the KD free agency.

It's the market

Cole Adrich 3/22... I think I would rather have that contract than Noah's...

But then again, it seems like Noah was really instrumental in bringing in Lee...

No doubt about the contract part. We had Cole before. He was definitely nice for us. Right now, we need Noah more than Cole because of vocal leader. We needed one badly. Noah is that man for us
