Not enough playoff games for them to pull it off

You right, wasn't even thinking about that.

do playoff games even count?

 

[odnodnojad]

 
No, *you're wrong.

Derek Fisher is a terrible coach

Knicks are just horrible period. All they got is Melo. If you're gonna have a prolific scorer like Melo you need to surround him by defensive players and guards who can pass and spot up.

Not enough playoff games for them to pull it off

Doubt they count playoffs.

Even if they did, nobody shoots as much as kobe.

 

[offset pow clow]

Damn that sucks if they dont count playoffs

 

[a-friend]

I'm pretty sure they count playoff games toward points, makes misses etc.

 

[Peep Game]

Melo asked for this, which is a damn shame

 

[$tacy]

Kobe gonna make damn sure nobody ever touches his missed shots record

If gay blade plays for 20+ years he got a chance

Perfect time to use Google, brb

[a-friend]

Cavs pursuing a Waiters for Koufos swap

Spoiler

Sources say that the Cavs are well aware landing a quality big man likely depends on selling on potential trade partners to take back polarizing shooting guard Dion Waiters. Cleveland rates Waiters' talent highly, but sources maintain that the Cavs have let a number of teams know they are prepared to surrender him if they can acquire a difference-making center in return.

And Koufos, regarded as one of the league's more underrated interior defenders thanks to the limited minutes he gets behind Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph, would certainly qualify.

How willing the Grizzlies are to part with Koufos, meanwhile, remains to be seen.

It's naturally hard to see it at this early juncture no matter how blessed Memphis is with frontcourt depth. When you rip through the first quarter of the season at 16-4, there isn't much incentive to change anything.

Stay tuned, though. There are some significant differences between Koufos' standing with Memphis and the Cavs' long-running but ultimately unsuccessful attempts to convince the Denver Nuggets to bite on a Waiters-for-Timofey Mozgov swap.

In Denver, Mozgov is under contract next season on a highly favorable team option valued at $4.95 million. The Nuggets can't be faulted for wanting to keep a productive big man at that price for themselves when they know Mozgov can't bolt this summer. Koufos, by contrast, is an unrestricted free agent next summer whose camp, sources say, has made it known to Grizzlies management that it's less than pleased with the limited role carved out for the 7-footer over the last two seasons.

Interesting.

I've been on the trade Koufos bandwagon for a while. Memphis will more than likely let him walk via free agency and we currently have 4 productive bigs (Zbo, Gasol, Leuer, Koufos). I think every team really only needs 3. I'm not sure on Waiters, though. I really don't see where he fits in on the team with there already being a logjam at the guard spot.

I'm assuming a rotation of:

Lee / Waiters / Pondexter
Allen / Carter / Prince

But, Waiters just doesn't fit with what we are trying to do. Memphis needs a 3D SF, not a 24% 3 point shooting combo guard

 

[rck3sactown]

Waiters will tank the Grizz season 

 

[finallyfamous]

I can't picture Waiters on Memphis at all

Doesn't seem like he fits at all.

 

[iluvjordanxi]

Does that mean Memphis got one of the top back court duos?

From this point on Harden will not be referred to as the beard. He is now the blade. Ha ha ha

It stuck with me for a long while.

sidenote: Waiters to Memphis is going to ruin my 50/1 chance 

 

[freeze]

grizz would bury waiters on the bench bruh. no way he fits in their system. They're one of those 1000 piece puzzles and he's a screw off the bottom of a hot wheels car.

 

[a-friend]

Three way trade?

 

[IATT]

Saw this suggested someplace.. Who says no?

I think TA would give Waiters one of those OJ black eyes if he started to get crazy.

Memphis has way too many veterans around for Waiters to mess the chemistry up. I just don't know if I trust him enough as our 2nd perimeter scorer as much as Memphis needs one.

 

[dacomeup]

Damn, Cleveland goofed with that Bogans' nonguaranteed deal and is stuck with considering Koufas. :x

Anyone who says CP3 is a top 5 all time PG doesn't watch basketball or has 0 value for wins and loses. CP3 isn't even better than Marc Jackson yet. Dude is 4 or 5 all time in assist and has played in the finals. Tell Paul to reach the finals then we can talk.

Mark Jackson?

Yeah. Better than Paul. I can't think of another PG that gets more praise for ALWAYS coming up short. In NO his team was the excuse. Now he has the team and his supporters will still give him a pass. Meanwhile a PG like Tony Parker doesn't get half the praise he should. 4 time champ and finals MVP. Nothing CP does from this point forward means a thing unless he reaches the Finals for once.

Just wanted to thank you for the laughs.

MVP type **** right now. Point God. CP3
