    Yeah. You guys are resorting to Clint Capela as the third member of your Big 3.

    I pray you guys get sloppy thirds on LeBron just to see the ultimate failure for CP, Harden and D'antoni.

    That sucks. I watched the game and was just thinking how you guys just need another wing. Looks like he tore his achilles.

    Sucks for Boogie too, he was going to be a FA in a few months.

    That one felt like the second half of last year.. Just better conditioning and hustle prevailing. Ellington with the dagger when it counts.

    At this point I'm good packaging Whiteside and whatever pick for Barnes. We don't need him. Bam makes him redundant. He is not the guy he was 2 years ago.

    Who matches up contact wise or expiring next year, any idea?

    Kyrie Irving just makes good things happen on the court for your basketball team. Wish we could have gotten him.

    Side note: NBA League Pass + Android casting is really good .

    I'm lazy, what is the monthly cost? I will probably have to get this either way.

    $14. With Amazon Prime and Netflix both raising their prices, I think I'll cancel Prime.

    AD was pretty good before we landed Boogie. AD will be fine.

    Cousins still lands a Max contract. All it takes is 1 team. I’ve seen lesser guys who got hurt get a max before. Easily, Cousins gets one.

    Even if it's not a full, he'll get around 100 million. I think that should last him one generation.

    Certainly agree, I’m almost 100% positive it will be a max.
     
  27. CaribPhin

    CaribPhin Guest

    Cousins definitely pulls in a max. As shamegame13 said, there's going to be a team that wants to make that splash very badly and that's going to make his decision more about where he plays than what he's paid.

    Avery Bradley available for trade according to Woj .
     
  29. CaribPhin

    CaribPhin Guest

    I don't know if they could figure out how to do it, but OKC could use him. His game has regressed from playing under Brad Stevens (CoTY?) but if they want to keep up in the West without Roberson he could be an option. Roberson makes that starting 5 viable and what they'll lose in defense could be made up for with Bradley's ability to average more than 5 per game (Bradley puts up 15). The fact that his defender won't be able to sag when he's on the perimeter (38% from 3 vs 22% for Roberson) would open up a lot for their stars. Roberson somehow shoots 31.6% from the FT line as a professional basketball player and 76.3% for Bradley means he can stay in during clutch moments down the stretch .

    Roberson being comically bad at shooting is something I feel the need to stress for no reason other than how remarkably bad his scoring numbers are.

    If you shoot under 50% from FT the league should start taking points off the scoreboard when he misses.

    Clippers and Pistons taking about Griffin per Woj. Very interesting. DeAndre Jordan is the last man standing .

    Chris Paul is a phony for leaving after convincing Jordan to stay, but you can't blame Griffin. I'm not sure what the Pistons want to accomplish here though. Maybe there's a secret third man who comes out to leg drop Savage.

    Its done. Clips got Tobias Harris, Avery Bradley, and picks. That was a good haul for an overrated player that can't carry a team.

    Clippers also shopping Deandre Jordan, Heat are interested according to the Ringer.

    I hear Williams is also available. I don't think Miami gets either without giving up Bam. With no significant draft picks, they'll want someone young and preferably cheap.

    Remember that time when Deandre became a free agent... verbally committed to Dallas...

    And then Blake, CP3 and the rest of the clippers held deandre hostage at his own house, didnt allow Dallas reps to get inside despite several attempts knocking on his door and would not give deandre his cellphone.

    Begged him to stay. They had emoji drama on twitter and everyone was so entertained by that dumb crap. Now hes all alone, co3 left him and blake is gone.

    All that build up for nothing.

    Miami played like they wanted to lose in the 4th but luckily we pulled out the win.

    Hopefully Blake can beat the cavs so we go into our matchup with the 3rd seed on the line.

    Joakim Noah needs to hang em up. This dude is complaining about being pulled vs GSW last week and now needs “time away for personal reasons”. Everyone knew that contract was going to be a disaster the minute it was signed...except wait for it, Phil. Phil, should have just stayed away from free agency in general except for the Lee signing and the KOQ signa nd trade as a RFA. Maybe if Noahs overrated bum *** wasn’t done, he wouldn’t have been pulled. 2 years left after this at 18M per, doesn’t want to negotiate a buyout....just send his butt to the D league please!!!!!
