****The Official 2014-15 NBA Thread****

Varejao is better than Oden even if both are on a roster (notice I did not say more talented).

 

I don't see Miller starting. It'll either be Waiters or Wiggins IMO.

 

No he isn't.

 

Meant 3.

 

They're about equal statistically.

 

Varejao is a better rebounder, McRoberts is a better passer who stretches the floor more.

 

I've never had a high opinion of Varejao. Whenever I see him play, I don't know what it is, I must just always catch him on a bad day. It's like Kendrick Perkins.

 

Varejao has to guard McRoberts three game, so his rebounding is going to go down.

 

He is a very good rebounder and he HAD good feet for defense. Injuries robbed him of his lateral quickness and now he is a specialist rebounder, garbage point picker.

 

Deng has proven he can guard Lebron, so that makes me feel better, Lebron won't be able to dominate him as he would with others not named Jimmy Butler and Leonard.

 

Lol. I chuckle at Perkins. Then shake my head. Like, how does this guy still have a job? How does he start?!

 

Correct but not anymore so my McRoberts > Varejao stands lol man oh man does the Miami Heat look good as the number 2, no idea why most people wrote us off completely.

 

He was good until Wade dunked on him which caused him to fade away.

 

Curious...do you think they can get the 2 seed with Wade sitting out one out of every three games or so like he did last year?

 

Depends if we can get Rush, if we get Rush then yes.

 

I'd say no, but it would probably be Chicago and maybe even Toronto that jumped us in that scenario.

Also I dont think he misses as much time. He admittedly could have and wanted to play more, and now he also doesn't have the luxury.

 

Rush won't score us D Wade points but his perimeter defense is nice, also if James Ennis can step it up when Wade is out then we will be fine.

 

I really want Beasley to come back to take over for Wade on the offense during the regular season, he has more to show than JJ.

 

If we don't get Boozer we could possibly bring Beasley back for the minimum. Not sure anyone else in the league wants to take a risk on him.

 

Can we get both Boozer and Beasley?

 

Technically yes but I think that's too many big men to carry unless you want Beasley at SF and Ennis/Granger at SG

 

Read this from 2012:

I do think Lebron signed with Cleveland with an eye on who he could get to come there in 15 and 16......

 

I think Lebron knew all along since 2012 he would go back, Rich Paul is the devil!

 

...

 

My question is more along the lines who would be the best DW substitute/insurance policy?

Whoever it is more than likely will see a lot of minutes, especially earlier in the season.

 

Lebron used us just as Delonte West did with Ms. James.

 

Beasley in my opinion, his age is what makes it much more attractive.

 

I'd tend to agree, the FO knows him much better than we know him, do think Riley has a soft spot for him

 

Nobody? Like Always? Throughout History?

 

I think I know what happened, when Lebron, Bosh, and Wade went to that restaurant in Miami, Lebron probably said so guys I'm going to Cleveland and I want you two to come with me so how about it? Wade and Bosh looked at each other and laughed really hard which was mistaken for them all having a good time which is why people thought they were all coming back.

 

Section do you any other NBA rumors like I dunno Kevin Love?

 

With a young LeBron made playoff runs including a finals appearance with a much weaker supporting cast that he has now... So naturally the butthurt is kicking in for Heat fans and a much better LeBron with a much better supporting cast will be a 4 seed and lose in the second round.

Am I the only on that thinks this is a tad ridiculous? ?

Damn. Good call by Sec a couple pages back. Hornets will be interesting this year.... still kinda wish they had Paul Silas coaching haha, love that guy.

Shocked Lance was had that cheap though, at first glance.

 

Sweet Lew to the Mavs on a 1 year deal. Dang... Rashard has always been one of my favorite players. Best of luck Shard - your play in the playoffs was a joy to watch.

9 mil a year sounds about right considering his antics

 

Hornets should be real tough again this year.

 

Who's the SG for the Pacers? They lost Lance and Turner. Hill and Watson did not cut it at PG last year. What is their guard situation?
