We should all go to one of his shows and troll the hell out of him...

I just hope the same cats that whine about super teams weren't on the Melo/Amare/CP3 bandwagon

That's actually a funny idea

might be late pass but whatever...

Brons 'recreating' the Heat.
Love = Bosh. both can score, stretch 4s, can rebound. Love is more efficient/consistent.
Kyrie = Wade. both can score in multiple ways. Kyrie is younger, can shoot the 3, can bring up the ball and set up offense (so Bron doesnt have to do it all the time)

now just filling in the role players. Miller, Thompson, whoever

amiright?

 

[arrjae2]

oh and Grunwald was hired by my local uni. (McMaster University) to be head of basketball operations, or something like that yesterday

 

[the gr8est]

Rodman won DPOY with the Pistons and was one of the best defenders of all time in Detroit, even more so than in Chicago because he was younger and more athletic in Detroit and could pretty much guard every position on the floor. I hate what Bron is doing as much as the next guy, but how are yall going to say that Rodman wasnt established until he got to Chicago?

And im surprised to hear that Grunwald took a job at a small college, last I heard he was in the running to become an NBA team's GM earlier in the summer (forget what team but I remember reading about it)

theyre starting 5 looks good, but they have no depth. the only one on their roster that COULD be useful is tristan. mike miller cant do much of anything but spot up and shoot at this point. hes not even a 3 and D guy. theyre gonna need big men even more than the knicks do and their defense is looking even worse than the knicks too. IMO just because you have bron and love on the same team does not equate into championships. they cant play 48 minutes and all 5 positions at the same time.

 

[Mark Antony]

**** are y'all blabbering about, isn't the goal to build the best team you can within reason? Who gives a **** , even if he somehow got kd and Westbrook.

doesnt look like a championship team to me

 

[hsalem]

The only names needed to be listed are:

Bron
Love
Kyrie

That's it.

That core produces a championship, whether you want to believe it or not.

First you want to trade Prigioni, then you saying Lebron is right for "building" super teams and not competing against the best, and now you saying stuff like this?

You're getting on my last nerves

Wasn't saying Bron was "right" for that. Was just making the argument that lebrons not the first to win with allstars.

 

[hsalem]

And if lebron, kyrie , love, waiters, and varejao, in your eyes, aren't a championship team idk what to tell you.

 

[nick.]

@ShamsCharania: Thanasis Antetokounmpo, New York's pick, deciding between D-League Westchester or Spain/Italy deal, sources tell RealGM. Knicks roster full.

as a starting 5, yes, they are probably a championship caliber team. then you look at the rest of the team and realize you have brendan haywood, james jones, mike miller, and john lucas as your back ups. sure the starting 5 will be nice when theyre on the floor, but when the rest of the team is getting destroyed, thats not gonna win you a chip.
