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

[starboy]

Was it the finger in the face that did it? Otherwise I'm trying to figure out why they're making a big deal about this ****. 

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Did the kings fine him or the league?

Either way I understand the fine. Can't stand over someone like that in a threatening way

If someone did that to me who wasn't huge like cousins I'd be forced to use physical force. Being that it was boogie the reporter was ****** lol

Stephen Curry leaving GSW will be the biggest shock to the sports world since KD leaving OKC for GSW. He's not going anywhere. He's gonna make upwards of $139 million in the Summer.

Nuggets have a alright future. Emmanuel Mudiay is nice and the face of Denver. Front office isn't gonna trade him.

Damn Aaron Affalo & Rudy Gay already letting front office know they won't be returning next season. I think this is the summer DeMarcus demands to be traded. He's gone. Finally Sacramento can rebuild!

Disappointed in Detroit. I had them in the 6-7th seed in the East. Looks like Chicago will replace them this post season.

lol at the peanuts that is 139 mil. curry not getting less than future conley fam bam. that brotha coppin that 207 milly check

You also have to factor in how boogies been warned by the kings for his actions and language towards the media. He's had history of negative behavior

 

[abubakr shaheed]

basically we aren't gonna see any superstar leave their team during FA under the new CBA

 

[ill steelo]

Demar derozan=kobe

I gotta salute Demar because he had no idea what to do with the ball when he got here.

That man started from level 0. All he had was hops. No 16 footer, couldn't dribble, weak. Nothing.

The life cycle of an NBA superstar will now look like this: After being drafted, he signs a four-year rookie contract. Before that contract ends he signs a four or five-year extension. Before that contract ends he signs a five-year extension. A superstar who wants to maximize his salary may not hit the open market until he's played 14 seasons in the league.

Ughhhhh, as if incumbent teams didn't get enough benefits of a star player for the first eight to nine years of a player's career. :x

 

[worldbeefreeg]

Players still might leave in free agency if shoe companies will pony up the bread to get them to switch markets

Throw them that 30 mill under the table like Nike did to KD this summer

Also, Reggie Jackson must really suck as a person cause this is now two teams in a row who really don't **** with him at all

Ish Smith was running the team fine.

Reggie gotta go. And ship Drummond IDC !

29% usage on 48%TS is so incredibly selfish man Reggie gotta chill

 

[bballkid11]

Then Yesterday he comes out and does not attempt a shot in the first half.

Trying to be a smart ***.

Ship him Stan. DO IT

The only way the kings truly rebuild is if they somehow get rid of Vivek or at least limit his involvement. Dude should just stop playing pretend GM and let professionals do their work.

He learned from Russ except left out the alien athleticism, elite passing and rebounding.

I remember when Gilbert pulled that move and didn't shoot until the 4th quarter. He finished with 18 and brought the team back from the hole he dug them into

Problem is that the NBA is a cash cow.


So a clown like Vivek who obviously knows nothing about building a successful franchise can just continuously run one into the ground while still gaining value each year off the strength of the TV deals and revenue sharing.

He learned from the school of James Dolan and Jim Buss sans all the nepotism.

to be fair, DJ Augustin was also running the team like a well oiled machine, same as Ish, and in both cases, SVG downplayed their value for Reggie.

It's crazy to me. Like, bruh, are we watching the same game.

Reggie is a backup pg at best. John Wallet was right af. I'm sorry @The Collector

 

[moe200069]

jury is still out on lavine but he's starting to be more than just an athletic dunker like gerald green. his defense and shooting have improved but his ball handling and ability to be primary ball handler are not on kobe's level even when he was 2 to 3 years out of HS

 

[awwsome]

Sounds crazy but the Pistons need to find a way to tank because realistically how else are they going to find a franchise PG?

Reggie at his best is still not even going to get you out the second round in the east.


Good thing they signed him before the cap REALLY jumped, he's still movable.

 

[xxpizzo]

"Deron your crossover hasnt been good since 2012" lol

Jury isn't out on him, he's a player.

You don't shooting 38-40% from 3 on high volume 2 years in a row and its fluky.

Even if he doesn't develop the ball handling/playmaking, he's already a + offensive player and provides spacing.

Facts. Can you imagine Reggie on $110 contract :x :x :x You already cant tell him **** with his 85. Bruh a 55 type dude.

This might be it.

Idk if we are bad enough to tank but if we miss the playoffs he got to get moved.

I am fed up with Drummond too. Everyone will say "cant get equal value", "he is still young" blah blah.

Boy aint had 1 move in all his years, no work ethic, Not a elite defender, and effort is mediocre at best most games.

Just going through the motions out there.

Seeing talented NBA players waste their careers on bad teams for big paydays >>>>>>
