Damn we got worked last night.

KAT had a real nice game. Wiggins had a pretty decent scoring game but not much else. I really hoped this season his rebounding numbers would go up or even his assist but those are worse than his rookie season. Still a long season but I ain't liking that he's really just been a scorer.

Adam Silver interested in 3-round NBA Draft, raising D-League salaries

http://cbsprt.co/1Ok0cWJ


D-League players should be getting paid more than they do. They need to make more than 18k a year.

3rd round would be a waste since most mid/late 2nd round picks don't make the roster.
After like the 20th pick the draft is usually a mess, except for a few surprises /dudes that slid... 3rd round will be nothing but overseas players that will never be in the NBA, teams ain't paying 3rd round salaries :lol:

And the D league shoulda been raised the pay, can't even make 20k :x ....I would go with a 40 , 50, 75 pay scale

The point of the 3rd round is the same as raising D-League salaries. NBA should be trying to make a real minor league. The D League is awful. Dudes are getting paid like 10K a year. Anyone that's a borderline NBA player is throwing up 2K MyPlayer averages. Everything is bad. They need to figure it out.

The funny/messed up part is all they been had to do is raise the salaries ...literally one thing and everything with the league gets better :lol: :smh:

Nobody turning down 70k in Europe or China to play in Maine for 14k
 
The D league is working. Sure they can stand make more $ but everything about it works. Only a handful of those guys are going to be legit NBA players anyway and they are rotation guys at best.

Late first rounders get a chance to play minutes and if they are really that good, they get recalled and play well.

Borderline guys get to play for their next contract whether it be in the league or something abroad.

Guys who are good players but not NBA players more always leverage that 20 racks into great deals. I know guy that was a D2 scorer that's making 350k now. He doesn't get that w/o the D league. I know another guy that was a full time trapper but now is making legit money for the first time in his life in Europe.

The d league is the most scouted league in the world. It works if you use it correctly
 
Or maybe the D League can be like a relegation league
I wish there was one this year

Sixers deserve to get relegated

what kind of numbers did those guys put up in the D League? Can it be simple as being on a roster that will help you get more $$$ your next contract?

My main man Dominique Johnson averaged 12 ppg for the Legends who were stacked with NBA talent. He flipped that into a summer league invite then shot 45% from 3 in Poland. Now he's playing euro cup. the d league really helps guys you've never heard of.
 
I have no proof, but I strongly believe Jimmy is becoming a locker room cancer. Reports of lack of camaraderie in the locker room, no one talking to each other, and the Bulls writers always tweeting that the Bulls don't look like they like playing with each other.

I can't help but think Jimmy being more outspoken and showing his colors through the media isn't a coincidence.

Jimmy needs to stop hanging out with Wahlberg. I strongly disapprove of that relationship.

wont be long before there's articles like this about my Bulls :smh:

NBA Trade Scenario: Save Anthony Davis, the Pelicans blow up their entire roster

This one goes out to the, "Let’s blow the whole thing up" crowd. If you love expiring contracts and clearing payroll then this trade is for you.

BDDD, I cried a little when I imaginarily sent Tyreke away, but I’m hoping he’d be loved in Milwaukee like he’s loved in my living room — also, I have League Pass so....

View media item 1838935
Note: The Pelicans receive the bucks 2016 1st round pick and the Clippers 2017 1st round pick from the Bucks. The Pels also get the Thunder’s 2017 1st round pick and the Hornets 2nd round pick from the Thunder. This trade is also followed up with a second trade with the Rockets.

View media item 1838936
Why the Pelicans do it:

New Orleans decides it is time to throw the season away, clear the roster for reshaping by perhaps a new general manager. They move their two big expiring deals, but also dump another $27.6 million in contracts. Unfortunately, they still have to hold onto Omer Asik’s contract. The Pelicans receive 3 first round picks — though at minimum two should be non-lottery selections if not all 3 — and a 2nd rounder to use to add players either through the draft or future trades.

The front office also brings in the non-guaranteed 2nd year of Ty Lawson’s contract, which may come in handy in a future trade. At worst, it made the Eric Gordon for K.J. McDaniels (whom I really covet) move work salary-wise. New Orleans also fields a pretty bad team to improve the chances to draft Ben Simmons.

When examining the expiring contracts the Pelicans would acquire, only one of those players should even be considered as a potential long term piece — O.J. Mayo. O.J. had a sneaky decent year last season. Had he not been injured to start this season, the Bucks would be in better shape than they currently are. He’s an above average 3pt shooter, and he is also a decent distributor from the 2 spot. (I thought he would have been a much better addition to the Thunder than Dion Waiters was when that trade went down.) Being the 4th option on a good team is really the perfect scenario for Mayo. If the Pelicans could re-sign him to a cap-friendly deal at season’s end, he could be an interesting piece in the new roster construction.

No one else is really worth keeping around. The only other guy worth considering is Miles Plumlee on a deal close to what he makes now which would look very good in the new CBA.




Why the Thunder do it:

The Thunder don’t have to give up much to get a much better backcourt player than they’ve been fielding next to Russell Westbrook. Jrue Holiday could either be the starting off guard — providing perimeter defense, secondary playmaking and efficient scoring without the need to be a high usage guy, or he could fill the James Harden role and be that second unit leader while playing starter’s minutes.

Oklahoma City also gets added perimeter defense on a cheap contract for when Kevin Durant moves to the four with the Dante Cunningham acquisition. Or, worse, the Thunder start preparing for a potential Durant departure during free agency in the near future.

Why the Bucks do it:

The Bucks need scoring to get them back into the playoff push. Tyreke Evans doesn’t necessarily give them better shooting, but he does give them scoring, rebounding and playmaking. At 6’-6" with a nice handle, Tyreke also gives the Bucks the positional flexibility they love — allowing him to play 1-3.

Ryan Anderson does give Milwaukee the shooting they need to open up the floor. Quincy Pondexter when healthy also provides positional flexibility, shooting and defense. The Bucks lost Greivis Vasquez to injury and now to trade (also, Bayless) so between Evans and Augustin they add solid players to the point rotation.

Why the Rockets do it:

McDaniels isn’t being used anyway, and he’s on a 3-year, $3 million deal. The Rockets love to make plays for free agents each offseason, so moving on from any expendable contracts is a plus. The Lawson experiment has been a bust. They can use him to land a bigger fish, but I’m not sure anyone is selling a player they want to buy with that contract.

With this move, Houston gets a decent backcourt player in return who will not saddle them with a large contract to impede the free agent spending spree this coming offseason. Gordon can be a solid catch-and-shoot player on a team that loves taking threes. He could play alongside James Harden whose penetration will set up a lot of good looks for Eric. Gordon can also create when Harden is getting a breather.

The Pelicans would be getting TOO many guards in return. And the Bucks basically lose their length and versatility. I can see your rationale behind this trade, but IDK how realistic i'd be.

I think a more interesting trade scenario would be to figure out a 3-way trade involving the Thunder, Clippers and a 3rd team. Maybe the Rockets?

those are 3 teams who don't wanna help each other(any more than the okc/rock's already have)... would have to be a east team or 2 w/ the pels imo

I expect the Grizz to be involved some sort of deal soon. Whether that's getting Pau from Chicago or moving off TA, Jeff Green and/or Zbo.
 
If the Wizards fall out of the playoff picture, they have some spare parts that could intrigue playoff teams.
