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

[antidope]

 
See I dont think he retires though. Thats why I didnt even mention Parker, in my mind its a foregone conclusion he comes back

Parker will resign for 2 years, 1 year player option.  In no way shape or form will the Spurs trade him.  It'll be a Manu situation.

That said, I think they'll try and resign Patty with the same treatment they did with The Big 3 - take a reduction in wages for the better of the team.  

For now I think Murray has the potential to start in the next few seasons, whilst backing up Parker.  

Patty's such a great impact player and works well with the second unit.  I see Murray transitioning to Manu's (irreplaceable) role.

Who knows what's happening with Simmons, Dedmon and Lee.  I'd kill to lock up all 3, however Simmons may look elsewhere for more $$$ and more opportunity which he fully deserves. 

100% agree with everything you said.

what other front court player would you place ahead of him? millsap, dwight, melo, porzingis?

not really a lot of obvious better options

He's probably just mad cause his hyperbolic statements about the Lakers and their core looking real shaky.

Lamarcus isn't an all-star this year.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Maybe next year, KAT and Davis will finally share the floor

Quite the contrary hermano. Our core is only going to keep improving, if you catch my drift

Draymond isn't a all star this season at all. Wall > Lowry. Klay ain't a all star either.

 

[xan rather]

i guess he shouldn't have an all star last year either cause he's not really doing much different this year

 

[madgame87]

Lamarcus isn't an all-star this year.

He's past the 'all-star' level and more interested in winning rings.

He can prove to be an 'all-star' by making big plays and helping the team down the stretch (points, rebounds, assists, blocks - in any order).

Is he though? At a minimum there are two plays a game where I see this guy just completely space out. He frustrates me to Richard Jefferson and Gary Neal levels at times.

Y'all don't have a core

Lakers "young core" is just BI......and a few overrated young players who will be jettisoned once management realizes what we've known for the past 2 years.

Best option is to tank for a pick. And build a real core.

True. BI and the 2017 pick will be the future going forward. Zu, Nance and Clarkson are/will be adequate support pieces though.

Was he at the Cavs game?
