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

[P C H]

If the Clippers could somehow get Paul George with only losing DJ/JJ, I would like them as much as any team.

I don't see how you compete against GSW or even the Cavs/Spurs without somebody to matchup up against 3 off the most transcendant players in the league with KD/Bron/Kawhi.

PG ain't on that level (yet, in a better team he could be) but he gives the best chance right now easily out of any player that's going to be available over the next couple of years.

Indiana is going nowhere with McMillan as coach and the roster Bird has built.

George going to LA would be great for his image to play on the national stage all the time.



It's a long shot but if you're the Clippers what do you have to lose?

They can be a great team as we've seen when they beat the Spurs in the 1st round 2 years back but the game has changed and they are still the same.

Gsw and to a lesser extent the cavs, you're right. But I still don't see any real tangible problems that San Antonio could pose for LAC in a 7 gamer currently. I honestly don't see anyone outside of gsw in the west that could tangibly give LAC real problems, esp if they grab the 2nd seed and have HC to the wcf

Luke gotta go all in and start D'Lo, Young, Ingram, Randle, Nance for the culture.

I know it's early but the Lakers gotta give up on the Deng/Moz situation.

The younger guys are more talented and at least have upside, they need reps.

Luke done a great job of still getting them minutes and I guess he just has to play Deng/Moz because they gave them so much money.

This

Deng has been god awful :x Ingram looks like poop as well but at least he has the rookie excuse and didn't just get a 72m dollar contact

 

[P C H]

I'm surprised at Ingram's shooting so far. Thought he would be better at that. The other stuff was to be expected, I think. Making moves off the bounce in the league when you're that thin and weak is tough.

 

[frshstunna]

Ingram only shooting bad cuz of confidence ...once he gets comfortable he should hit some shots

Who the starter anyway now at sf? I hope it ain't luol

 

[P C H]

Oh I think the potential is there for sure with Ingram. The fact that he's still effecting winning even when he can't hit a shot is telling, in a good way

 

[awwsome]

Ingram already rebounds well for a toothpick with tats so that's only going to get better and he moves well of the dribble.

Gaining strength/explosiveness should be his main concern because his game will fall in line after that.

Definitely needs that in between/floater game, with his length that should be a shot he masters.

 

[nick.]

Ingram is built like Cinnamon from the old Apple Jacks commercials

 

[a-friend]

 @ Bron gotta wear a full Cubs uniform to the game tonight for losing the bet w/ D. Wade 

It's the only Story today.
It's why the loss to the Clippers last night has been erased from history.

White excellence.

Meanwhile Gordon Hayward is somehow still underpaid.

Dekker sucks.

When he hit dude with the shamgod in the NCAA tourney, I thought dude was gonna be the truth. I haven't seen That same magic in the pros. It seems like he doesn't have a specific skillset that he excels at, so his role is uncertain with Houston. Do the rockets need him to rebound well? Be a great perimeter shooter? Lockdown defender? I don't know if he can carve a niche out in this league without having that go-to skill. Hittin the shamgod can work wonders in that league jimmer fredette is in right now, but defenses are too good for that to work at this level

 

[awwsome]

More interested in what happened to KJ McDaniels.

Dude showed upside like he could be an elite peremeter defender who didn't kill you on offense and could score in transition.

Dude is wasting away now.

People said just 2 years ago when Hayward signed his deal and Utah matched that is was too much and they saved (forget which team) millions by matching his contract.

I think I was like 1 of 2 people that endorsed that Hayward signing.

ON another note, he is underpaid now but he got the max available when he reupped.

Leave Jimmer alone

It was Charlotte.

And their consolation prize was Lance Stephenson.
