2016 Official NBA Off-Season Thread: Former Greatness

[Lovetohate3000]

Should Steph ever get to the point where he can finish around the rim, he'd be unstoppable, but he isn't close, for now.

hes in his prime . hes is who he is . hes not 22 where he can add  to his game. 

 

[art vandelay]

I would love it if Russ went East, specifically Boston. If not, the Cavs could steamroll straight to the Finals.

Kevin Durant

Serge Ibaka

James Harden

Reggie Jackson

Jeff Green

I don't think there's been more good to superstar players leaving 1 team entering their primes

Shows you that you need a team to win.

jeff green dont really belong on that list. 

 

[rolaholic]

he same people who say steph ain't elite are the same people who are upset that KD is joining up with another elite star... wait, something ain't adding up

I know he gets a lot of hate now but even then,who says this?

Steph is an excellent finisher around the rim.

He does because he was legit good at one point.

Issue with all of those dudes is they needed the ball to b good. Everybody was a scorer.

Have you watched the playoffs, sir

 

[casper90403]

Damn, Jeff Green being allowed onto that list.

Keep being you NT, keep being you. Don't ever change

 

[Master Zik]

Where do you trade Russ, and who has enough assets to get him?

Wouldn't matter. He ain't staying with that team unless they're a top 2 team.

 

[jjs]

if Russ gets traded, OKC about to go from 1 game to the finals to dead last in the west

Steph had one of the highest percentages at finishing at the rim this season. Part of the reason they lost in the finals was he wasn't finishing the shots he usually makes. Steph will be fine. He was first among guards and top 5 in the league at field goal percentage in the paint.

Will forever be known as a coach who didn't win a championship with a 73-9 team while choking away a 3-1 lead and losing a game 7 at home.

Overrated.

Kerr was terrible in the playoffs and finals.   Might have cost them a title.   Although there is plenty of blame to go around for why GSW didn't win like Lebron, Kyrie and Steph.

Kerr's offseason homework:

how to stop lebron/Kyrie PNR which they switch Curry onto either guy.   And when not to play guys who #@$* the bed in critical moments i.e. Ezeli, barnes

W's get lucky once again with KD.  Impossible to screw this up, right?

Agree to disagree, you say excellent, I subpar.

Interestingly enough, the closest comparison I can come up with is the Seattle Mariners losing Randy Johnson, Griffey and A-Rod over three consecutive seasons (1998-2000). But Johnson and Griffey were in their primes, and A-Rod was entering his, though.

 

[shoeking2102]

Steph is an exceptional finisher what the hell is going on in here

He kind of is tho...

Half of his homework is gone with Festivus for the Rest of Us and Barnes on the way out of not out already.

 

[oldhotdogwater]

I remember everyone saying that about the 2013 Heat on 2k. And it was easy to beat

 

[casper90403]

yeah, ***** *** Steph is kind of excellent around the rim. Defenders freeze on him

 

[nick.]

Stephen Curry shot a better percentage at the rim this season than Russell Westbrook.

 

[dmbrhs]

That's the thing: teams don't need to have equal value. They know OKC has to trade him, so they can put together whatever they want. When LeBron went to Miami, Cleveland got a bunch of draft picks in exchange (sign and trade).

 

[earldagoat]

Going to be interesting to see which vets come crawling out of the woodwork to join GSW.  Dudes are going to be coming out of retirement to get in on the action.

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

Not official until the 7th. KD fooling GSW into making moves thinking he's going there.

( I hope)

The idea has been thrown around since last week among many people for not only GSW but other western squads.

There's like a 99% chance it won't happen but if KD pump fake these ****** mane..................
