THE 2015 NBA PRE SEASON THREAD: BEST WISHES TO LAMAR ODOM

[abubakr shaheed]

what does this illustrate? how many 6-8 seeds have outstanding records?

the 8th seed in the west last year had a better record then all those teams he posted. 

if this is meant to discredit lebron count me in.......

i was just pointing out that lebron has been running through the entire east, including the bulls for the last 5 years. and i do blame thibs for the ugly losses in 2010 as well as 2015.

That 2013 *draft might be one of the most underwhelming in recent history :x

anthony bennett needs to go to pheonix, replace the crazy *** morris twins

Send bennett to GSW and learn from Draymond Green. #smallball

And I think he is pointing out that running through the east is the equivalent of being the fastest kid with Cerebral Palsy

Oladipo, Nerlens, Giannis, Gobert.

There's a few guys with talent but no real "superstar" potential it feels. Trey Burke is also not bad

 

[wavycrocket]

Lebron's first round opponents:
'06 Wizards: 42-40

'07 Wizards: 41-41

'08 Wizards: 43-39

'09 Pistons: 39-43

'10 Bulls: 41-41

'11 Sixers: 41-41

'12 Knicks: 36-30

'13 Bucks: 38-44

'14 Bobcats: 43-39

'15 Celtics: 40-42

Much competition.

I legit get disgusted every time I see just how bad the East is. This conference has been horrible for almost 20 straight years.

 

[tomdiginson]

Good one.
It appears I hurt your feelings, but I'm the sensitive one worried about what others think.

Your response was trash. Come up with something better.

Lol there are tiers to this b

Preposterous to put all teams without a championship on the same level

Just want to make yourself feel better about your situation, that's all

You know dusty knicks fans. They want everyone to be in the same garbage heap as them.

 

[everysingletime]

If there's one positive thing I have to say about LeBron, it's this :

All the team switching he does and he hasn't gone to the west. Smart man for that.

Question fellas,

So Tristan Thompson who hasnt made a ALL-Anything team and will be coming off the bench wants a 94 million dollar contract that will make him the 13th highest paid player in the league. So my question is where is he getting his kush from?

 

[al3xis]

I don't see the issue unless he actually does take the qualifying offer and gambles into next off-season - that could be a big mistake since he'll be about a 25 minute a guy role player this year. But Tristan and Rich Paul have known they have the leverage. The Cavs window is short with LeBron and they're not getting anywhere near the cap anytime soon. All that extra 14 million impacts is Dan Gilbert's wallet with the luxury tax. If Gilbert lets him walk next off-season because it was too much of his own money, he'll look like the jackass he is.

*I'm sure there are minor cap implications and flexibility issues that go along with caving to him, but still. It's a tax bill issue.

It's unbelieveable.

He should take the 80 million but I understand that he wants to try to take advantage of the market.

 

[awwsome]

How does he think they gonna spend 200 million on two guys who play the same position?

 

[tomdiginson]

Let me just apologize. How's that? Sorry.

[Platinum State]

2013 draft wasnt that bad, pretty average imo
You got Oladipo, Gobert, Dieng, Noel, Schroder, Atentounkounpo...........
2000 draft was the worst hands down

[Vincent Van Goat]

Which classes are the worst 

 

[Lovetohate3000]

2000 was the worst ive seen. 2002 was really bad as well . much worst then 2013.... early 2000s had some really bad drafts a few  years in a row.
