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

[Vincent Van Goat]

Rejoice! Bradley Beal says he wants to "eliminate long twos" this season.

*wipes tears*

If he can stay healthy, this should be his breakout season.

If he doesn't average 20 PPG he never will

 

[awwsome]

We'll see what Randy Wittman says about that.

Bizarro Wittman turned into a good coach in the playoffs, let's see if that continues.

@ESPNSteinLine ESPN sources say former NBA Sixth Man of the Year Ben Gordon close to securing training camp invite from the champion Golden State Warriors

@ESPNSteinLine Warriors are on lookout for an extra shooter and Gordon, I'm told, is closing in on a deal to go to camp with champs to try to make roster

 

[awwsome]

Ben Gordon hasn't been good since 09.

 

[bhzmafia14]

Watch Ben Gordon somehow turn into the 06-07 version all because he's at Golden State

Barbosa doesn't have that position on lock and Gordon could possibly beat him out.

 

[nick.]

is Ben Gordon still getting paid by the Pistons?

During a recent radio appearance, Dallas owner Mark Cuban said Doc Rivers’ “professional life” would’ve been over if DeAndre Jordan had signed with the Mavericks. Cuban also said he now has doubts whether Jordan can be a “cornerstone player.”

Thursday in an interview withThe Register, Rivers responded to Cuban’s comments.

“I’ll say this. I’m so grateful to work for a team owned by Steve Ballmer, someone who stands for character and substance and who is so loyal,” Rivers said. “He is someone who I know will stand with me, even when things aren’t always going our way. I think what happened with D.J. was he decided to choose substance and character over smoke and mirrors.”

Rivers was also grateful to work for Sterling at one point, so there's that.

I thought GS would have learned with Jordan Crawford. They might as well bring him and Jamal Crawford then too

Jordan Crawford played like a Dear in headlights. Dude looked scared every time he touched the ball while at GS.

9 players in the NBA from the 90's remain. Wonder who will be the last to retire:
Andre Miller
Kevin Garnett
Kobe Bryant
Dirk
Paul Pierce
Jet Terry
Manu
Timmy
Vince

Paul Pierce probably. He's the only one on that list outside of VC / Timmy/Terry (all have shorter deals) and Manu (who is already contemplating retiring) that's still truly competing for something. I see Pierce playing as long as Doc and the core is still in LA. I believe everyone else on the list will retire after this season or the year after.

That Lin Video is Hilarious!!!

Real cool dude man!!!

 

[lawdog1]

andre miller i bet that.

Agree. Basic Game is going to hang around as long as any teams are willing to give him a job.

F PP. But this is going to be me when Bean, KG, Dirk, and Timmy finally hang em up

 

[pretty tony]

Andre Miller trying a put back slam last season was probably a top 10 highlight. Even if he missed.
