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

You can't call it a desperation move for one guy and an adjustment for another.

The Miami small ball with Battier can be called a desperation move then too using that logic.

wait until shoeking comes in here and sees you guys disrespecting scotty :eek

KD needs to sit another year. He's young. Make sure his foot has really healed. They'll still throw the max at him.

can you imagine how many players coming back from injury would have done this, if D-Rose came back as a monster? I think since D-Rose's prolong recovery period didn't really benefit him, some may even think it did him more harm, it's not an appealing option. i think it would definitely been a game changer if it did work out for D-Rose.

Ty Lawson: Lakers, Rockets and Pistons Reportedly Interested in Trading for Nuggets Point Guard
The three teams are interested in acquiring Lawson despite his DUI arrest on Tuesday, according to Sports Illustrated. The point guard averaged 15.2 points and 9.6 assists in 75 games last season.

so SVG is done with Brandon. J?

The thunder's issue with health farrrrr supersede anything fallacies that came with Scott brooks as a coach.

Without harden and with Scotty they were steam rolling the league until the whole pat bev thing in game 2.

Like, they got to the wcf the year after and Ibaka went down.

They were so overwhelming with Scott brooks at the helm that it's hard for me to say Scott was holding them back. Lack of creativity, poor rotations, those things all had them winning convincingly when they were healthy.

Then they wait until brooks has the most injury riddled season one can imagine to let him go :lol

oh well whatever

addict4sneakers · Jul 17, 2015

Ty in Houston would be worth a shot, but I'm not sure harden and Dwight would be the right people in his life with his reported alcohol problems

Vincent Van Goat · Jul 17, 2015

Wouldn't be mad if the drunk ended up in Houston. No reason to go to LAL or DET

DET really trying to get rid of Jennings since they'd rather have a mutli DUIer and Steve Avia shoes Blake

awwsome · Jul 17, 2015

Why would the Pistons want even more PG's?

well, usually when dudes in here give Scotty a hard time, you try to defend him by pointing out the teams success.

They were winning in spite of Brooks tbh

Clippers should have exposed that but they choked as usual and gave the series right back to OKC

Possibly a worthwhile risk for the Rockets.

Dumb for the Lakers.

Pistons - who cares?

Team would be putting up record breaking shots on and off the court.

Nah let KD play. Doctor say he's fine. Let's just ignore the history of players that never recover from the same type of injury.

Gonna play all 82 games you just watch!

Oh, well yeah.

If coaching means what it does to most, then he can't be that bad. At the very least, he hasn't had a fair season to be judged upon since what, 2012?

abematic · Jul 17, 2015

Houston is always in the trades/free agent talks.

keel252 · Jul 17, 2015

ty is much needed in Houston

Should anyone want to bet with this man?

It's nice to say they won in spite of brooks, but...they won.

They were having incredible success when healthy.

I don't know how you can kill a coach for having tremendous success with a team in spite of the injuries he had to coach through.

At this point, I'm not even talking about how good of a coach he is. If he was really that bad, then the thunder shouldn't have been that good.

So if billy d has improved rotations, great individual sets, but they lose to sas or lac in 6 then what do we say?

Would love to see fully healthy rose and russ go at it.

How many PGs do the Lakers need since they already Russell and Clarkson
