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

[wavycrocket]

it's not advanced anything, it's basic reasoning. It's called using your brain.


It's funny people only ever point out the year he averaged 6 boards int he playoffs, how about the year he averaged 11 boards, that year don't count?


LET's not even talk about the fact that Atlanta was running spread pick and roll with Pero Antic leaving Roy 30 feet from the basketball.



What do y'all have against Roy that you want to say flatly untrue thins and igrnore context soleley for the purpose of insulting him?

No, use your head. That was the year I'm talking about. That was his best year and the pacers best year. So clearly, he's capable of rebounding...and if he does...the pacers benefit from it.

Simple

Also, it doesn’t look like the Milwaukee Bucks are getting that meeting with DeAndre Jordan http://clipperholics.com/2015/06/29/bucks-wont-meet-with-deandre-jordan/ … #SorryJasonKidd

Of all the teams originally on DJ's list, the Bucks made the most sense to me (other than the Clippers). Oh well. I think its really down to the Clips and Mavs.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Why would Jordan leave LA to go to Milwaukee of all places

 

[osh kosh bosh]

It's like people don't want to use their brains when it comes to Roy Hibbert.


"omg how come a 7-2 guy can't grab 10 boards a game."


Maybe the same reason taht all the other 7-2 plus guys can't, they usually have 280 pounds weighing them down. Roys rebound rate is well in line with all the other dudes 7-2+,

Mark Eaton, Tree Rollins, Luc Longly, Yao Ming, Rik Smits, Shawn Bradley, Manute Bol ect ect.

 

[keko jones]

Wolves ain't even close to contenders yet, brakes need pumping.

They still ain't even playoff bound for another couple years.

so what you call that? Smh .... I guess it needed further clarification.

 

[Olympus]

Girl is a savage.

Smh.

Went to that Chicks Twitter and while she looks good, she's like the personification of millennials and social media. All about attention, talking freaky, celebs and "exposing" people.

Vapid and Vain as ****.

Co-Signed.

Straight putting it all out there. Fab's "Cuffin Season" was made for chicks like her.

Simple

wrong again, the year after was there best year.


and the reason he grabbed those boards is because Miami was trying to stay big, at one point resorting to playing dexter pitman.

Miami finally committed to small ball with shane battier at the 4 in game 5, resulting in less boardw for roy as they played more small linups,


in the final game only 8 in 40 minutes.


of all of Roy's limitations complaining about his rebounding is silly, linups with roy hibbert always seem to be good at rebounding. thats all that matters.

suns will sun

 

bet he had to settle for the jumper

what kinda shoes are those? they good to hoop in?

Lebron 12 lows remix. 

 

[hometownhero]

they any good to hoop in? don't hoop as often as I used to but when i do, it's in 3s 14s or 12s

hooped in 2s a while back and they weren't bad. 

 

[nick.]

anyone see what Marc Berman tweeted before he deleted it?

 

[antidope]

Preach OKB Preach. Dudes still a very solid basketball player

 

[Olympus]

Who do you guys think should be traded from the sixers bigs a
Solid answer!

Yes, I do agree to keep them for the meantime and see how things pan out with Embiid's health. I was thinking maybe it would be best to trade EMbiid because of his health but then I saw some of his pre-draft workout videos and oh my lord. I remember why he would have gone a head of Wiggins and Parker. His moves are so fluid and effortless.

In terms of Jah + Noel to start the season (assuming Embiid will take time to recover), didn't a Duncan/ David Robinson tandem work just fine? I know it's a different era but that doesn't mean that going big is obsolete. If Jah is consistently compared to Duncan and Hakeem, can't he develop a jumper and play old school basketball?

As of today, there does not seem to be wrong answer for who to trade (assuming we will get a star return), I do value defensive bigs over offensive bigs any time of the day. So I would keep Noel, he plays with a chip on his shoulder and goes 100% every time. Baring injuries, I will pick Noel/ Embiid over any other options.

Just have to see how it all plays out. I'm preferring Okafor to Embiid, but it's easy to forget about him since he's been hurt the last year and a half so. We'll see. Not like we're in a rush.

 

[frshstunna]

Shorty pullin that classic get salty and talk dirty about somebody that used to be dem guts move ...players gotta have these ho's in check more

And Hibbert just isn't that good , all star

 

[hometownhero]

those 0s Hibbert put in the stat sheets are hard to get over. it's still actually hard to believe that can happen. 

 

[jpzx]

 

[pjdabullsfan]

if jimmy butler signs a 1 year deal with the lakers, or whomever. what do the bulls do? I say go after wes matthews. better offensive player, solid defender. or a secondary plan danny green.

no point in matching a 1 year contract and passing up on viable options

bulls front office continues to take Ls

Bulls are gonna offer the max and if that is the case, he can only sign for three years plus a player option for a year. So worst comes to worst he'll be a bull for 3+ years. 

 

[dacomeup]

Hope Bled goes to Sacramento.

Bled/Boogie/WCS is

#UKNBA

That would be dope.

Are those names supposed to be impressive?

 

[wavycrocket]

Nobody said Roy Hibbert isn't a solid player. He can be very valuable to you on the right contract, minutes and schemes.

What in saying is at the time...he became severely overrated.

 

[pmatic]

Bledsoe should have waited.

Fair enough. I never bought into the hype around that entire Pacer roster. It was another media contrived rival for LeBron.

That first sentence is spot on and thats all I was saying. I still am a fan of dude.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Are those names supposed to be impressive?

no, I'm showing that guys who are 7-2+ don't grab a ton of rebounds. So saying "omg he's 7-2 why doens't he get a double double." is dumb.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Not everyone can be GSW. There is only one Steph Curry, only one Draymond Green.

Hibbert can help a team.

 

[franchise3]

Heat expect Wade and Deng to opt out. Dragic to most likely resign. According to Stein.

 

[Peep Game]

It was all good just a year ago.

Sign and trading Jimmy Butler is looking like a viable option 

 

Suns really have a 150 million dollar backcourt with both guys under 6'3. Jeff Sarver tripping.

One of them is getting traded, probably Bledsoe.

I saw that out there, I feel like its gonna be hard, no team out there besides Indy off the top of my head would really be a suitable trade partner.

Eric Bledsoe and Alex Len for Roy Hibbert. Everyone wins

 

Only team that wins in a trade involving Hibbert is the team that won't have him
