Official 2017 NBA Offseason Thread: Media Days begin

Also, what would be the upside for NYK to buyout Anthony? Would his salary still count against the cap?

You could spread the cap hit over multiple seasons or he could be claimed off the waiver wire and they wouldn't owe him anything.

TNT said Wade look like a Haitian drug lord now.

Minnesota not trying to have a bench??

One alternative is working out a sign and trade like datznasty suggested. Only problem is the thunder would benefit more than the Timberwolves.

Yall have to renounce Bazz too.

Rumor here is that Gay is actually still in OKC (don't know what he's doing, nothing is open on Sundays) and wants to be here but they have to figure out a financial path (ie someone to take Kantner)

Also says Sacramento has interest in McDermott and Minny did as well and for some reason we are reluctant

I don't understand how anyone could blatantly say this Warriors team isn't one of the best ever.

Yes, Shaq would have been able to score on them. But what in the world is he going to be able to do defensively?? You think he's running the floor with Draymond??

@ DFish and Horry trying to guard Steph and KD

@ Cha Cha and Klay guarding Shaq and Kobe

 

[carver]

Shabazz Muhammad may have to be renounced for the Taj Gibson signing to go through.

Someone may get a steal

Minnesota not trying to have a bench??

Bazz is dew dew someone getting robbed signing him.. Gorgui for 6th man of the year

We need to move Cole tho

lol you're acting like Kobe is unstoppable in the finals. easily, the biggest reason why the lakers lost the finals against the pistons. didn't he averaged like 14 pts against the Pacers and shot like 40% both times against the celtics? he's lucky his teammates bailed him out of that 6/24 G7 b.

17 Warriors: 115.9 ppg (1st in lg)/99.8 pace/1st ORTG/2nd DRTG (16-1 playoff record) 4 future HOFers

WHO?? kd,curry and steve kerr as a coach? with klay?

Felt like Minny could've used that remaining cap space on a floor spacer. I know Thibs loves his guys and all, but you already have Dieng, KAT and just drafted Patton (assuming Aldrich and Payne wouldn't matter). They can still make a trade per say, but I'll be interested to see how they fill in the gaps on the wings.

 

taj is a better fit IMO on that team then dieng. they just need a real PG now.

Durant and Klay taking turns on Kobe would be fun

I'm taking my chances with Durant, Klay, and Iggy on Kobe. He'd still get his, but that length >>> (Pause)

 

[friscostylez]

2004 Finals against the Pistons

Kobe: 38% fg 17% 3fg% 3.6 TOs while taking almost 6 more shots than the "most dominating player ever"

Same Kobe that was

24.6 ppg; 7.8 rpg; 5.8 apg in 01,

26.8 ppg; 5.8 rpg; 5.3 apg in 02,

32.4 ppg; 5.6 rpg; 7.4 apg, in 09,

28.6 ppg; 8.0 rpg; 3.9 apg in 10





Steph ain't live up to his rep til this year in the finals.
