2016 Official NBA Off-Season Thread: Former Greatness

Utah & Memphis are better than Portland

It doesn't matter if they're better. They not championsihp teams.

Honestly, they all need to be contracted. No point in them playing this year.

Did I do that right junglejim

 

[MajinZuub]

I like what Utah is doing but I think Portland is better right now. I'm not a huge fan of Lillard/McCollum backcourt because neither play defense and it's 2 small guards but the pieces they have seem to compliment each other pretty well.


Not a fan of Memphis dumping Joeger

Harkless $10M / yr
Turner $17.5M / yr
Crabbe $18.5M / yr
Leonard $10.3M / yr
Ezeli $7.4M/ yr

63.7M / yr invested in borderline starters/bench players

Top 4 seed

Looking like the grizzlies just handing money out to people who will never be allstars.

Memphis has 3 players that make more than $20 mil a year and only 1 is an all star. One of them is also Chandler Parsons.

I thought we were talking about borderline 4th seed teams who paid way too much for role players based on this:

Naw I was talking about borderline starters on a top 4 seed team.

Well my mistake.  Maybe we can take a look at how they performed 5 years ago in the playoffs to project how they do in the playoffs this year.

Considering its not the same core group of players, I'll say you cannot.

You losing, B

 

[Peep Game]

Mike yawnley . Putting hoops fans to sleep since 07

Aye that's foul

 

[wavycrocket]

Bosh has always been better than Amare.

I'll never forget the first few months of the 10-11 season...when Bosh was adjusting to the heat, and Amare was laughing at Bosh..... Talking about Bosh shouldn't have been the first PF off the board in Free Agency.

I always thought Amare was a lil overrated.

 

[jadaqwest]

amare fell off after he left nash he never had a good pg in new york plus his health

Amare averaged 20 when Marbury was his PG Nash gets way too much credit for how good Amare was.
