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

[lawdog1]

And why is this man Royce White wasting the Clippers time.
Why are the Clippers allowing their time to be wasted.

Dude is a female dog and an entitled prick. 
I use to sympathize with him, now.......nvm

(he was the best player that one year in College though, not AD  )

Just a summer league spot, so it was a low risk, potentially high reward proposition. If he plays to the level that made him a lottery pick, the Clippers will have another big for cheap. If he doesn't play well, then, nothing. He's just one of many summer leaguers who don't make an NBA roster.

they were lucky to get in last year. They aren't that good.

Getting 45 wins in the West got zero to do with luck fam, they were pretty much never at full strength either since Holiday was always hurt.

Still think they're stupid for resigning Asik, shoulda went for Bismack for the low.

 

[Quincy McCall]

Kings should be in playoff contention assuming they don't implode, like to see them get a stretch big not named Josh Smith... but hey maybe it'll work 

 

[youngwolf]

Portland and Dallas will fall off next year. OKC back in the mix, so it's gonna be Kings/Dallas/Pelicans/Suns fighting for the last 2 spots.

I think you can drop the Suns. Eric Bledsoe is not leading them anywhere near a playoff spot.

Luck is the wrong word. Look at the Suns 2 years ago, getting 48 wins

Not saying Pels will fall off like PHX did because they won't but shows you nothing is a certainty, especially in the west. I could easily see the Pels not getting 45 wins again

made it on the last day of the season by beating san an. I would call that luck as far as making the playoffs. If you don't I can understand.


True on holiday but lots of other teams had injury issues.

 

[casper90403]

Starting to feel the same way about the entire team, not just Rondo.

But i guess we'll see how it goes. Karl has only had one losing season in like 29 seasons right? so that would be great if he can get the Kings to 40+ wins and into the mix for Playoffs.  Be this teams Mark Jackson and then replace him in a year or two with the guy that takes them to the next level

Just seems like a bad fit for both sides.

Beating the Spurs to make the playoffs is luck?

I can think of some lucky things, that ain't one of them.

They were trying their hardest to win that game for their seeding as well.

I feel more confident in the Jazz than Kings.

Their defense is going to take them a lot further than what the Kings have planned, me thinks.

I agree except for the suns

Most definitely, they likely get the 8th seed last year if Gobert started the whole season.

Good deal.

What are the clips doing lawdog? Doc asleep at the wheel. He should have been all over biyombo at $3m per. At this point, amare and javale combo would feel like hitting the lotto.

I think Doc is working on stuff, but it may be a case of him trying to find the best possible replacement for DJ. Probably looking at FAs and what he can get for Crawford. But he needs to do something. Taking all this time is just decreasing the number of options.

True.
I just wanted to get my shots in on dude.

Why has javalee mcgee played so little the past 3 years?

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Realistically, what are the teams you see have no chance to get to the west playoffs

For me it's only Lakers, Wolves, Nuggets and Suns

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Injuries and because he's Javale McGee

[Lovetohate3000]

Lakers wolves suns blazers nuggets who I see having no shot at the po.

 

[noblekane]

Hopefully chris paul can turn him into a beast

[letsgetit22]

If West comes in I hope that doesn't result in a Diaw exit. Diaw gives us too much from a playmaker/ball handler aspect, and I watched Kyle Andersons D league run a fair amount he needs another year before he can really contribute.

Diaw under contract. I don't think spurs are looking to trade him.

 

[noskey]

Lillard's on NT too much
