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

[antidope]

RIP man

My moms went to high school with Moses. RIP to an all-time great.

What's the worthiness of rumored trade talks w Knicks engaging trade talks w Bulls.....

There is ZERO worthiness. More media lies because they are bored.

"Per Berger, Phil Jackson and Steve Mills haven’t even addressed the possibility of dealing ‘Melo.

On count one, the parties are not guilty; a person with direct knowledge of the Knicks’ front-office discussions told CBS Sports Thursday that Jackson and Mills have not so much as had a discussion about trading Anthony — no matter how much Peyote may or may not have been in the air.

After that, count two becomes a moot point, but either way Anthony’s no-trade clause is merely one of many factors that would make trading the $124 million man problematic, to say the least."

Thanks for clarifying that.

Happy Sunday all

Hello all, I just want to talk about Moses for a bit. He still worked out everyday and I want to share a laugh. After the U.S vs. Africa international game I asked him why they didn't ask him to play. He simply told me Because... I aint African... I'm American! Which we both chuckled at. WE Worked out at the same gym (hbu in Houston) and we would both see each other enough for him to tell me to keep this my home court and I never said HELLO, JUST FO FO FO. I WAS really saddened hearing about his passing for a guy who works out as much as he does. Rip Big Mo.

hornets got smashed in a game by like 60 points .

It was CP3's fault

Can someone explain to me what a "pure scorer" is? Is that just code for a dude who can only score? Are kobe, KD, Lebron, Harde, Curry etc. not pure scorers?

TO ME, a pure scorer is someone that can score for every possible situation on the court. Kobe, KD, Melo are the only ones on that list that can do just that. Harden and Curry are too small, to me, to be "can score from anywhere" dudes. Curry can't post, Harden hardly posts. LeBron, nah man.

Great story

CP3 lost by almost 60 at HOME in the playoffs. Impossible. I have felt differently about him ever since that game. Pathetic leadership

Dope story about Moses. Thanks for sharing

Mudiay is gonna be a problem in this league. I have been following him for a long time and I will continue to watch for this kid out in Denver...

CP is never safe 

 

[awwsome]

Mudiay is big time, him or Jah for ROY.

All rookie first team predictions?

 

[essential1]

All rookie first team predictions?

Russell
S. Johnson
Winslow
KAT
Okafor

 

[Moheezy]

Based off of Summer league, I see Jah and Mudiay as an early two man race.

Down the line though, I think Mudiay could have a better career than Russell. Mudiay's ceiling seems to be so much higher. I can't wait for the season to start. This year's rookie class already looks deeper/ more promising than last year's.

 

[Moheezy]

All rookie first team predictions?

Russell Mudiay
S. Johnson
Winslow
KAT
Okafor

Based off summer league play, opportunity and playing time. Mudiay has the keys to Denver while Russell would have to share with Clarkson and Kobe.

Wouldn't Jameer play over Muddy

 

[awwsome]

Russell won't have a better first season than Mudiay.

 

[wavycrocket]

Wouldn't Jameer play over Muddy

I see we trying to make "Muddy" a thing now huh

I think Mudiay starts from the jump though. Lawson got shipped, you gotta put the rock in your franchise pg's hands from day 1.

All Rookie 1st team:

Mudiay
J Grant
S Johnson
Jahlil
Towns

Roy is Jahli: 16 & 7 on 47%

[osh kosh bosh]

I remember wathcing NBA TV all the time before it cam to Canada when we had the illegal direct TV hookup. I watched all the mimi documentarys. I also had these old VHS tapes, called legends of basketball or something...

I remember the mini doc on Moses, a fan had a sign in the crowd.

"Take us to the promised land Moses."



He made it there a too young but he still made it.


RIP to the ultimate workhorse Moses Malone.

I think it's positionless as far as all rookie teams go. They really don't care. All rookie 2nd team two years ago had 6 players on it due to a tie or something
