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

[franchise3]

besides patrick beverley being able to play again, nothing gives me the feeing that the rockets are gonna be close to repeating what they did last season.

Still a 50+ win team. Dwight missed half the year last year and it still didn't matter. The road to the WCF again though is definitely tougher.

 

[finallyfamous]

With no effect on their ability to sign MosGov? Considering they're already paying Bron, Irving, Shump too?

Yeah thats a good point I have no idea what the plan is for him... he's a FA next summer and they need to lock him up too.

I wanna say **** you to Tristan so bad. but Bron runs the organization now

They better pray this **** works out.

Could be right. Although Howard was injured and missed many games. Jones and Papnikalu missed like more than half the season

Brewer gets a full season and training camp

They add Harrell and Dekker which isn't too shabby

Just some things to consider

 

[franchise3]

Southwest Division. :x

They ain't gonna be able to add any FA's for the next 5 years b.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I'm saying breh. I just don't know how necessary it is to sign Love and TT to big money. I'd rather just choose one

 

[awwsome]

Southwest Division. :x

Bloodbath.

 

[dat dude chris]

Who are the Pacers planning on starting at PF and C?

Lavoy Allen 
Mahimi

Lavoy Allen :x :x :x

Dude is legit garbage. How hes still in the league is a wonder to me. I HATED him on the Sixers. He was only good at bodying up KG...

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Houston gonna let Clint Capela get some burn this year or nah

Especially once Bron signs next year... they saying 6 year 200M :x

This is honestly what I thought was going to happen and LeBron would have been happy with Thompson getting paid anywhere in the league, but now that it has to be Cleveland IDK what happens to this team Flexibility wise going forward

 

[awwsome]

Especially once Bron signs next year... they saying 6 year 200M :x

Payroll gonna be reaching Brooklyn levels, at least yall will still actually be good though.

 

[IATT]

Kevin love should be in this

Payroll gonna be reaching Brooklyn levels, at least y'all will still actually be good though.

Haha yeah good point. idk man I worry about this team tho.

gotta stay healthy but we have the 2 most injury prone starts in the L. Plus Andy is a time bomb.

gotta pray it works.

What if jR leaves?

Team is buns guard wise.... Kyrie/Delly/Shump/Harris? :x

 

[dat dude chris]

Noel, Wroten and 2016 Heat 1st rounder for Lillard

Let's do it

NO JUST NO

 

[finallyfamous]

Kyrie-Delly
Shump--Harris
LeBron-Miller
Love-TT
Mosgov-Varejao

now what?

JR is a maybe to coming back.

Haywoods contract will hopefully land a good player.

then gotta replace Marion, Jones (possibly back) and Perkins.

Don't see any of the draft picks being on the roster.

 

[a-friend]

If I was Cleveland, I'd pay TT whatever He and Lebron want.

Think about it, they are going to win atleast 1 Chip with this team and maybe more.

Nothing is more important than that, least of all Money.

Lebron knows this and Cavs are lucky he returned in the first place. 

Just do what Lebron says and pay them.

This team is not near as good without TT so there is some consolation in overpaying him and that is the fact that he is worth something.

Just pay the man and lets get on with it.

And I don't think Lebron is making a basketball mistake by holding the FO hostage, money mistake maybe but that doesn't hurt his pockets so who care, Just do what Lebron wants, serious

 

[finallyfamous]

He got 5 year 80M offer... that is more than enough.

He want the Kyrie 5 year 90M deal? the same time Kawhi just got.

are you ******* serious??

But I hear ya man and thats probably whats gonna happen.

 

[comptonprince]

Bron jus wants what's best for his kids...

 

[julius wrek]

Jake Fischer @JakeLFischer

The Kings have continued a dialogue w/ Josh Smith, according to a league source. In contrast to Rudy Gay's snap, nothing is close, however.

 

[dennistrane]

I just finished another season on Mycareer in 2k and Kobe just retired after his 25th season, still on the Lakers too 

 

Hopefully that does not happen in real life too

 

[lawdog1]

he is nowehere near DJ...
lettuce be cereal. 

I am serious. Nobody would have said two years ago that DJ was far and away better. But in that time DJ got to flourish playing under Doc and with a Top 5 PG and PF. Meanwhile, during the same time, McGee's been dealing with injuries and being on an imploding Denver team, then the Sixers. We'll see how big a gap there really is if JaVale gets in a good situation. Again though, provided he's healthy.

JaVale is trash

The problem with that is lebron will probably be broken down in year 4 of that contract especially if the cavs make it to the finals all these upcoming years.

Deep playoff run after deep playoff run is gonna take a toll

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

Honestly I would've loved to see them work a S+T with Kevin Love for any number of targets available but if they wanna pay him and Tristan 200Ms then whatev.
