2016 Official NBA Off-Season Thread: Former Greatness

The Kings are going to suck so bad. No way Cousins makes it past the trade deadline.

i agree with this completely . 1st round and out is they ceiling with the current makeup of this squad, unless they get lucky like portland did this year. portland wasnt a real 2nd round caliber squad . was a total fluke. . people forgetting who westbrook is and are really overlooking all his flaws and what we know bout him. cant shoot , bad at finishing at the rim , doesnt have the benefit of playing one on one anymore, bad in crunch time , low iq and bad decision maker.  he may get a lot of assist but its misleading. he cant run a offense good. 

yeah i know everyone mad at  durant now  buts let be real. durant is  the better player easily.

Yea you guys are giving OKC way too much credit. There's literary no one on that team that can win them a game after the the amount of attention Westbrook is gonna get in crunch time. Plus we all know how much of a chuck he is once it gets to that point in the game.

38-42 wins at most

Thank you.
 
I saw a whole bunch of slander up in here today. 

Yall are lucky I got saved at Church last Sunday or I'd let the hands fly.

One thing is for sure, though, NBA fans will be blessed with the emergence of Mr. Mitch this year.

Co-signing this. They'll be fighting for 8th along with Minnesota, Sacramento and New Orleans. Outside of Westbrook, that roster isn't good at all. I don't know what Russy was thinking signing the extension but then again, it's really only one more year on the contract so it was smart.
I like Ilyasova but he fell off. He was nice on the Bucks. After he got traded to Orlando or Detroit, i think it was. He's been trash.

Sacramento? The Sacramento Kings? Cowbell Sacramento? State Capital Sacramento Kings? The one with Ben Mac? Vlade Divac led Sacramento Kings?

Yeah. Demarcus, Rudy, with a healthy season. Could be 9-8th.

New Orleans when healthy can easily be a 7-8th seed.

OKC is way overhyped. Y'all really are giving them too much credit. Russell is top 5 in the world but c'mon y'all.

im saying though.. this man really said demarcus cousins and scrubs is gonna challenge anyone for an 8th seed.

Rudy Gay isn't a scrub! I refuse to believe this! My son shoulda' never got traded from Memphis~

Don't forget New Orleans was thrown in there too

New Orleans with a healthy roster can definitely challenge for 7-8th. Even with the losses of Eric Gordon & Rya Anderson.
 
Damn Wessy getting up there in age, something tells me OKC finds a way to finesse something in the next draft. With their luck, they ought to

Oladipo almost won a game for Orlando vs the thunder last year:






The real reason the thunder lost game 5 vs the Warriors was fetus basically jumping on adams' back early in the game causing him to limp around the rest of the game and the refs giving him 2 quick fouls

Congrats man.
 
I kind of like the Pelicans roster. Management surrounded Davis and Holiday with competent players that can play both sides of the court.
 
Why did KD owe him anything more than a text? People seem to think they were closer than they actually were.

And these guys dribble basketballs for a living. I don't know why y'all are applying these real world moral ideologies to that profession. None of these people owe anybody anything.

He didn't even owe him a text.. Didn't owe him anything

As an attorney, I feel obligated to out point I don't know of any business relationship or otherwise where he may in fact owe him something


But, everyone assumed they were friends.. If one of my actual friends pulled that shhh with me, there would be problems and I would question the nature of the friendship and that relationship


I don't use the word friend loosely.. I have a ton of acquaintances.. A fair amount of drinking buddies.. And a couple of real deal evander Holyfield friends

People might think that cuz Durant has said for years that they are like brothers. :lol:


Nobody really owes anybody **** but when you act that's your brother that's how people are gonna take it.
 
Yall act like KD and Russ weren't fighting on the court a few seasons ago. They never liked each other everyone can see that. Why the **** would KD tell Russ anything if they're always at odds on camera? KD just said the PC stuff for his nice guy image

First off KD didn't txt him: Russ' homie text him to give him the news after the article dropped.

Second,People aren't shocked because he didn't tell Russ face to face or via text, it's that Russ found out when we did.

People are shocked to find out they weren't as you said "close enough" for KD to tell him.

I mean come on, how "close" do you have to be to show a little, I guess respect is the word....

I got dudes I work with that have never chilled with me outside of work, but when I leave every Summer, I make my rounds.

They don't have to be best friends for KD to shoot RUSS A TEXT OR CALL before hitting the start button on the Players Tribune joint. That's all

never played a team sport in your life?

And if you have, there is no way you're that competitive

I also wonder whether if you have a sibling
