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

I'm afraid Lamb will always be a player we're waiting for to breakout. Always waiting for the right situation or moment. The jumper was pure at UConn.

Well to be fair to Lamb this is kind of like his real rookie season. He got drafted to a contender which completely complicates things.

Your boy Roberson started tonight after 2 games of DOMINATING the D League. Had a nice rebound and putback sequence. Other than that, completely invisible. His offense is just horrendous, he needs a year in Tulsa (D League), but he is already an above average defender/rebounder for a perimeter player in the NBA.

I think MDA is more worried about integrating Kobe than winning right now. They'd match up better with the Suns if Wes Johnson and Xavier Henry were playing instead of Kobe and Blake.

Man aside from Kyrie the Cleveland GM needs to be gone. TT seems solid but the rest of the squad was horribly put together. Not to mention Anthony Bennett is a bust.

Y'all stay sleeping on the bulls. I know rose is out but they can play both Miami and Indy tough.

The Bulls are not gonna be a problem for Miami or Indy.

word....Postseason is when it really matters

i think the Nets are much better match up for both teams compared to the Bulls.

That was clear on Sunday when they subbed in Kobe to replace their two best players (Exavier and Young). Alllllll for that Danny Granger max deal

 

[lawdog1]

^^^The Bulls are 8 and 11 and barely in the 8th spot in the East. There's a legit chance they won't make the playoffs. I don't think anyone is sleeping on them.

So, the thunder really looking to move Lamb? 
If so, it's got to be one of the most lopsided trades in NBA history 

The only guy who may get moved is thabo, since his contract expires at the end of the season.. If someone is stupid enough to take on Perkins and his contract then he would be out the door too

Lamb, Jackson and pj3 are all cheap and doing extremely well in the time they are getting (ditto steven adams).. Any player coming in has to be cheap and have a few years left on their contracts to even be realistic

That dude is clearly fishing.. And it isn't his first time with thunder trade rumors (I believe he is batting .000 in that regard)




When I said couple days ago I wouldn't mind the thunder taking a flyer on waiters.. There was no way in hell I was suggesting giving up lamb or Jackson..

Thabo, sure and maybe a late 1st.. Or 2nd round picks

we're not really going anywhere this season so getting kobe back into a grove and scouting out our one year contract players to see which ones are worth resigning > going all out to win games in a meaningless season

 

[00david00]

watch the bench take this lead

 

[lawdog1]

I know we couldn't keep him, but I really wish we had gotten more for Bledsoe than Jared Dudley. Oh well.

 

[abubakr shaheed]

Yeah they lost to Miami in 5 last year but played them tough a game or two.

No rose but also no deng, hinrich, and Noah playing hurt.

Not saying they are favorites but if one or two things don't to either teams way (injury or otherwise) bulls could beat them.

His offense is just horrendous, he needs a year in Tulsa (D League), but he is already an above average defender/rebounder for a perimeter player in the NBA.

I agree, coming out of CU I had no idea how he would perform well offensively in the NBA because he was too small to play on the frontline and doesn't have the offensive game/qualities that allow him to be a threat at the 2/3 position. So really, I had no idea how he would make it work He was an awesome rebounder though at CU and I didn't think that would translate either but it has to a degree.

So I guess his niche would be a thabo stefolosha kind of a player? I don't know but the D League would be appropriate right now for him but that may expose him Still my ***** though

He knows about and goes on NT too

You must be a heat fan.

He's not. Neither am I. But I agree with him.
