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

Imaginary franchise players

This is the best way to put it. Every year people hype up the draft like its some second coming, but in reality rarely do you get more than 1-2 franchise players per draft. As far as future starters, role players, borderline all stars, etc then yea i can understand the hype.

But in this scenario we're talking about 2 #1 overall picks.

OKB woulda loved LaVine if he was Canadian or Euro.

 

[QU!K]

I don't think Wolves need to choose between Wiggins or Lavine, they'd be wise to keep them both.

Just get rid of Rubio

 

[ballinsam23]

Didn't the wolves decline Dunn for Jimmy Butler? Another case of overhyping an unproven rookie and declining a trade for an established all star.

They have a top 5 pick this year, Rubio still has value, Dunn still has value. No need to trade any of your main 3 just yet.

Took the words right out of my mouth 

Every year there's some Euro he gasses to the 10th power and an American "AAU product" that he claims doesn't know how to play basketball.

Not saying it's his fault or he isn't supremely talented, but a lot of people were crowning KAT a top 10 player in the league going into this season. You can't be a top 10 player on one of the worst teams in the league.

 

[HIM]

Blake out for a month or so. If you're 5'5 or shorter keep your hands up.

So Anthony Davis isn't a top 10 player either?

He took family men to the playoffs 2 seasons ago. His pass is stamped

This should be interesting

The NBA is introducing significant changes to its All-Star balloting procedures that will give players and members of the basketball media a say, alongside fans, in voting for All-Star starters.

Fans will continue to account for 50 percent of the vote total for All-Star starters, with players and a panel of media members accounting for 25 percent each.

Lakers fans can have Rose for DLo if they don't want him

Nah. In 2 years we'll get Kris for a signed Kobe jersey.

Yea, Kris Humphries

Waste of a pick

You can easily draft a guy like him in the bottom of the first

Crazy how the 76ers have Embiid/Okafor/Noel...

Embiid/Okafor can't share the floor together and Noel is the odd man out. Only given is Embiid, but there are always going to be the underlying questions about his health.

What's the solution here? Obviously Noel is gonna be gone at some point...but what about the Embiid/Okafor pairing?

its quiet out here for Croatian Kobe

 

[ballinsam23]

Terrible pairing. Unless you have someone like Ibaka paired next to Okafor, he's better served off the bench.

 

[ill steelo]

Channing Frye taking practice jumpers every game must be nice

 

[addict4sneakers]

Okafor to D.C. for 1st round pick and filler

Who says no?

 

[awwsome]

Okafor going to have to play the Kanter role.

****** got mad me saying he's going to be a 6th man last year.

You can't have low post scorers with no rim protection/ability to switch as your franchise or even 2nd option in today's NBA.

He's not dynamic enough a scorer to make everything else worth it.

Going up against second units would highlight his value because he should turn unto an effecient volume scorer.

 

[starboy]

They just gave Ian Mahinmi $64 Million and Gortat has 2 more years left on his deal.

 

[awwsome]

Okafor to D.C. for 1st round pick and filler

Who says no?

Wizards got the worse bench defense in the league and already score a ton of points.

Okafor doesn't move the needle for them.

 

[ballinsam23]

Atleast Kanter rebounds the ball, Brook Lopez blocks shots, etc. Okafor is just
