2013-2014 NBA Thread - IND @ WAS and OKC @ LAC on ESPN

[HEATHEN]

talk about dwight being a failure LA, i think the acquisition of nash was even worse :x

Correct, we mortgaged our future giving up those picks for Nash.

That and his contract is valid for next season if he elects to come back.

Pure desperation moves, all for nothing. I think it's time for Kupchak to move on. Without Phil Jack and Doc Buss to steer the ship Mitch is going to sink it.

Can't forget about him trading Shaq either.

imo rondo is a better fit to the rockets than dwight was for us

easier to work with a serious dude entering a locker room of fools

than a fool entering a locker room of serious dudes

 

[do work son]

Upgrading the PG isn't worth losing our only SF and our depth at center.

Not worth dismantling the 5th best record in the NBA.

 

[sea manup]

when you're trying to win a championship the 5th best record isnt impressive at all

 

[ballinsam23]

I wanted the Knicks to get Sessions for like 5 years now

 

[puglife]

someone said it re: bringing rondo to HOU. clashing styles/egos, and you have that in the video. and trust i totally agree with you, nash trapped on the baseline what the hell is he supposed to do, probably cant even see dwight waving his arms

maybe nash shouldn't have got himself stuck in that position


anyway, i don't want houston to force anything right now. only thing we need right now is some solid shooters/scorers that come off the bench. garcia and casspi have been too inconsistent thus far.

I don't think people get that asik and lin both make 15 million each next year

ill slowly back out the arguement because i honeslty forgot how yall snaked both of them from thier teams & had to overpay

only 8 mil against the cap
but those were like three yr contracts not some crazy 6/100+
it's bad, but not that bad to the point where they cant be flexible

rockets shouldnt even be thinking chip right now, it's more WCF and a decent showing in the playoffs. west still runs through SA and OKC

I get OKC, but SA? the team we've already beat 3 times?

 

[awwsome]

Lets put Josh Smith, Dre Drummond and Greg Monroe on the court at the same time.

What could possibly go wrong?

Had no words for Dumars offseason moves

Like how could you expect any spacing?

& somehow they suck defensively too

dont get me wrong, houston can hang with anyteam (aside from okc), but you have to give respect to the spurs.

David Aldridge ‏@daldridgetnt 14m
Milwaukee pulls trigger on deal with Charlotte for Gary Neal. Luke Ridnour also goes to Bobcats. Bucks get Ramon Jessions, Jeff Adrien.

Ramon Sessions is one of those good players that nobody seems to want. Good move for Charlotte though. They can use some additional shooting and Neal can do that.

He gets to the paint at will and draws (lots of) fouls, but he's a horrific defender and has tunnel vision.

 

[jjs07]

I can't call it an AWFUL signing at the TIME it was done. Yea looking back on it with the luxury of hindsight yea, but Maynor was a solid backup PG in OKC and The Wiz thought he would do the same here.

But yea, I don't know what happened there man. Hope he gets it together. I would have loved for him to spare Wall 15 mins a game. Completely different player, change of pace vs. Wall's blurred nature.

The thing is, people knew it was a risky signing due to him not looking the same after his ACL injury. Probably wouldn't have been questioned if he brought in Beno or Mo WIlliams.

 

[herbshuttles15]

Jeff Adrien was in the league

 

[HEATHEN]

At all.

That was the premise of my previous post. Rockets running around with their baby nuts like they're doing something.

 

[frink85]

or maybe help your teammate out and get open?


anyway, lot of small deals filtering through. doesnt look like any big names moving...unless theres some hidden secret info still out there

LOL.  I see progress w/ the Rockets, but I have yet to see Rondo produce the same leadership.  We won't know if he'll get that shot, since his knees and elbows are massively destroyed.  AINGE shopping Rondo probably says a lot about it already.  Rondo is no Kyrie, he's no game changer.  He'll look good picking up those assists with those ET fingers of his, but plenty of PGs can do the same.

Please don't let my dude rondo go to houston. He would end up slapping all them clowns. Dude wants to win and Dwight the type of dude to try to make a twerk video after a playoff loss. "Rajon, Rajon, do it for the vine?"

 

[ballinsam23]

Shumpert for Reggie Jackson DO IT MILLS!

There's no need to tinker.

 

[xxpizzo]

Pretty sure the sixers now have 9 2nd round draft picks

Word, he ain't about that nonsense that's for sure.

damn shump injured again

Wot

 

[maxelite]

Eh I think Andre Miller can still provide some good enough minutes.


At least they didnt trade Booker who is actually part of the rotation. Vesley wasnt.

 

[$tacy]

The bulls need to trade d rose while they can and clean house right now

Miller is INSTANTLY better than both Maynor/Temple. He's an upgrade. The problem is people are mad because of the reasons why the team had to trade for him in the first place.
