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

[awwsome]

Imagine how good Charlotte would be with Hayward with MKG small ball 4. :x


Lance.

I remember the hype train after he played well for Indy in the playoffs and dude has fallen off a cliff since.

 

[rck3sactown]

'memeber when Lance was blowing in Lebron's ears and **** 

 

[dman14]

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

SD will be fine. fianlly healthy and getting some playing time. dantoni will make that kid look like a stud

 It was Charlotte.

And their consolation prize was Lance Stephenson.

Oh yea I remember that now, how sad.

They bounced back quick though by bouncing him and throwing Batum in the fold.

Damn that old Portland team had some talent together.

Lillard

Batum

Aldridge

(Wes Matthews before achilles)

Will Barton

Afflalo

Robin Lopez

YoungCJ McColl

Tim Frazier

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.

It was Charlotte.

i wanted no parts of this bum from the jump...i knew it wouldnt work bc he needs the ball to be effective and nobody is taking the ball outta Kemba hands in Charlotte. 

Trash as Lance. i think he shot like 9% from behind the arc...locals kept screaming he has to adjust. i just kept saying yea aite, wait on it. 

 

[wavycrocket]

I really feel like there needs to be an investigation on how Parsons' keep finessin these deals. Gotta be more than what meets to eye.

Being a 2nd round steal....was the BEST thing to happen to Chandler Paraons

Houston also not picking up his option was the dumbest **** ever. Still makes no sense.

Parsons went from making 800k to 16mil to 25 mil. Talk about a raise....

Signing short contracts when the NBA is throwing away more money every year. Shoutout to luck, timing, and Chandler Parsons agents.

How did this get missed last night? 

****** might make the mistake and think Big Roy soft because of how he plays. In real life, he is BAT **** crazy. I remember when he was an incoming frosh @ G'Town and him  and Brendan Haywood got it into during a Kenner League game. This ***** Roy dead *** picked up a metal stanchion and went after Haywood 

 

[tommyicerocking]

Roy  took down the Warriors 

 

[pmatic]

I'm not all that surprised at Ingram's shooting struggles. I didn't think he was this Durant-like shooter that others thought he was.

 

[bhzmafia14]

I don't think its Parsons play that makes the signing suck. Its just the fact that he can't stay healthy

Considering the kinda guys out here getting paid, Parsons abilities on the floor are worth at least around $70M in today's market. Great as pick n roll ball handler, great 3 point shooter, 6'10 point forward, pretty high bball IQ.

What sucks is he said he would've took less from Dallas (probably closer to $70M).

 

[carver]

Better than what those fools in Portland got

Maybe he said that bc of income tax?

He's been a sub 40% 3 point shooter every year except last

 

[bhzmafia14]

He's been a sub 40% 3 point shooter every year except last

He's a career 38% 3 point shooter and that's including this season shooting 24% during his recovery stage.

You saying sub.400 like 38% is not really good

 

[wavycrocket]

He's been a sub 40% 3 point shooter every year except last

Since when did being a sub 40% 3 point shooter become something to scoff at?

A 6'10 versatile forward, that shoots careee average of 38% is GREAT!

 

[Peep Game]

SD will be fine. finally healthy and getting some playing time. dantoni will make that kid look like a stud

You may be addressing someone who's seen Dekker play in the NBA 3 times. He looks like he's already ahead of where Parsons was at this same point, who was on a course to becoming a very good and important player before the surgeries.

right

It sucks that he's hurt, but I understand why the FO wanted him and why teams do pursue him as a 3rd option. He's a good player when healthy and if he ever gets healthy here, Memphis will be really good with him. He fits exactly what we're trying to do with Conley / Marc. Just unfortunate with the freak injuries right now.

I just wish he took $70M here and it would've gave us the money to sign Eric Gordon before signing Conley. We let Houston take him away because we just didn't have the money.

 

[a-friend]

My man JR Smith should be embarrassed, that is all.

 

[starboy]

He's a career 38% 3 point shooter and that's including this season shooting 24% during his recovery stage.

You said great. 

I never said it wasn't good.

You gotta be in the 40 and up club to be considered "great". JJ Reddick and Kyle Korver are "great shooters".

well Marc is a great shooter then at 43% so far

i considered those guys above more so elite. i guess it depends on how you want to define it.

New CBA news:

Not sure about extensions after a player's second year.

Dirk Nowitzki shoots exactly 38% from 3 for his career....

I think we would all call him a "great shooter".

And I'm not saying Parsons is the shooter that Dirk is....of course volume etc comes into play.....but Parsons is a good shooter...and at his size and skills...it makes him extremly valuable when healthy.

I don't think bhzmafia14 was trying to throw Parsons into the Curry/Korver/Redick tier of shooters.

Nvm that the Warriors have been an elite defensive team while being an elite offensive team for the past 4 years dating back to Marc Jackson.....

But you know. #FACTSDONTMATTER
