2016 Official NBA Off-Season Thread: Former Greatness

[jc619er]

If they don't win next season Durant gonna receive Lebron type slander on a max level. Problem is that he has too much pressure to win there now. If Cavs go to the finals again there's no pressure for Lebron. He fulfilled his promise. Anything he does from here on out is just adding to the legacy. Playing with that freedom and without that pressure will be a huge advantage come finals time. And the Warriors still gotta make it out the west. That ain't guaranteed like it is in the east.

Man, the Heat picked and signed super stars to build a team they didn't have.

The Warriors just added 1 person and are a product of trial and error, draft picks, and good coaching. Haters gonna hate.

Duncan is our second best defender and our only rim protector.

Which is why you won't get a title

What about in the playoffs?

These things were still true then.

        Book it!  They will not win the chip next year!

Not good when he's your only rim protector.

Wade bout to go to Cleveland.

this is what i am thinking. lebron offering 20m and telling him to do him a solid for him going to mia in 11.

 

[a-friend]

KD should opt out of team USA. It's about to be a crazy 11 months for him

He really should.

He doesn't owe USA basketball anything else either. He needs to chill and get ready for the Season. Last thing he needs is the unthinkable.

Let's be fo real now.

This move doesn't guarantee a Chip for GSW.

Still no post player. Come playoff time they going to physically get manhandeled

I agree with this. They need that Center, big time. They have no damn center now, just their draft pick.

 

[Kaleo15]

Once Bogut went down so did the Warriors. They just got outrebounded like crazy and the Cavs were eating in the paint. Yes adding KD is scary, but idk how it solved any of their problems.

Yeah because barnes not hitting a shot to save his life didn't affect anything.

Ofcourse it did. But i give the Cavs more credit to exposing their weakness than because Barnes missed shots. You dont blame a 4th option for losing a Finals series.

Barnes missed WIDE OPEN shots... literally NOBODY around him.

Cavaliers did not expose that. He just choked.

add a center that can defend the rim and they will be straight. nothing is guaranteed but they have the best odds. they went to 7 games against the champs and now add kd . i feel sorry for all the other teams in the nba right now. the only other team besides the cavs that couldve beaten the warriors were the thunder and now that is over. thunder will  be a 6th seed at best now. russ cant lead a team.

Thank goodness most of the good Centers are already off the market

 

[HNL HI]

Happy 4th everybody, anybody grilling anthing? Other than Durant jerseys.

They don't necessarily need a good center... just someone willing to crash the boards and play some physicality.

Kendrick Perkins/Tristan Thompson type of player.
