Official 2016-2017 NBA Season Thread - NBA rules Chris Bosh has a career ending injury

[jumpmantwenty3]

Barnes and Klay are proving this year if you don't touch the ball that much, there's no way you can establish rhythm, unless your role is purely a catch and shoot guy. Klay's gonna get better as the season goes on but I think he's gonna have a lot more cold nights than last season just cause he rarely touches the ball beyond shooting it.

Yup only reason Lance was even playing was cuz of all the other injured guards ...they need somebody that can actually play by just be on th roster

And all this George hill luv is cool until he has to handle the ball n make decisions under pressure situations ...dude is about as shaky as it gets with the ball when it matters

The thing is, you don't need Hill handling the ball in big moments They have Hayward, Joe, Diaw and even Hood who can execute in the halfcourt. All Hill needs to do is make the open shot if they decide to take him off the ball and defend.

He really is a great fit for Utah and Teague offers Indy IMO more upside than hill with that group

 

[da r entertainment]

pelicans actually need the roster spot, right? isn't that roster depleted?

Bingo!!!!

Klay had more % of his shots assisted than DeAndre Jordan last year.

With that tiny assist rate, a catch & shoot guy is exactly what he is (even though he can obviously do more than that). Also his shot attempts aren't that far off from last year.

“They’ll never get what they want in return,” an East Conference general manager told Amico Hoops. “They think Cousins is worth more than he actually is. He hurts you every bit as much as he helps you. He’s like a cheeseburger, or booze. Too much and you’ll pay a price.”


"I’d be terrified with that guy on my team," one general manager said. "They’ve asked me about him, what I’d give up. The answer is not much, no one that I value.”

at the cheeseburger or booze comment

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

These gms aren't fooling anyone lol at them trying to drive the asking price down

 

[carver]

No such thing as too much cheeseburgers or booze

Vincent by they you mean Danny Ainge

Absolutely but at the same time some of these GM's are idiots so it wouldn't surprise me if a couple were serious.

Utah has depth and we can all agree Hill is not something that can be just considered as an "upgrade over barely serviceable PG's Mack/Exum/Burke" but he's a legit option in this scheme, and above all he is a knock down shooter from outside, but...I think one of their biggest strengths is in Quin Snyder.

He put in a lot of work last year in just preparing his guys mentally to take the next step. We haven't got to see a lot of that come to fruition in Gordon/Favors because they've been hurt but it is more than clear that Hood/Gobert took his words to heart and appreciate the confidence he has in them and they repaid him with what we've seen so far.

but klay aint sacrificing ****

GS offense looks best on broken plays and offensive rebounds. I like barnes i hope this season is validation for him.

 

[everysingletime]

Klay is Klay. Streaky as hell. When he's cold, he can't make anything. When he's hot, he's more unstoppable than Curry.

i wonder how many player of the week honors jeff teague will earn this season

Lebron could have taken last years LAL team to the Playoffs.

Put Lebron on any team in the NBA and they are going to the Playoffs or winning a Chip

LeBron isn't taking the...

Sixers

Suns

Nets

And I think that's it, to the playoffs.

[HIM]

Bruhs, I know this will be followed by some jokes but this man Bron is really finna make the Finals 7 straight years (Assuming he does this yr). In 50 years we'll be telling our grandchildren these stories.

Except for Noblekane, he's got like a year left.

 

[Based Jesus]

I would disagree. Bron might take Suns to the Chip though.

Players that need to get traded:
- Bougie cheeseburger
- Noel
- Monroe
- Robin Lopez
- Brendon Knight
- Wall or Beal

The problem here is that other than Knight they are all Centers.

New Orleans needs to nab anyone!
Spurs need a PG

I would keep Wall over Beal if I was the Wizards.
