Was reading this earlier, and while the Clips are in a tough position financially, and I would Okay a melo trade, they really just need health more than anything.

They've handled Utah 2x, Handled the Spurs 2x, (Once w/o blake and partly CP) handled the Grizz 2x, Beat the Thunder 2x, Handled the Cavs, and have played the Rockets once this season w/o Blake and CP.

They'll be a tough out for anyone sans GSW.

Looks like they'll be in the warriors bracket so they won't make the conference finals again, but (when healthy) they're clearly the #2 team in the West.

Jimmy Butler to Celtics and Wade bought out and joins a contender. Book it.

I don't think black Hayward is better than Stringer. Stringer can get to the line

This is all very true, and I do think Butler is the better player. But we're talking about fit here. I personally think PG-13 is a better fit for what Boston does on a nightly basis.

If the celtics can somehow keep Bradley then you have another shot creator that can get to the line and create offense. String does both of these things better.

Could be wrong, but I think Wade is done with paycuts.

 

[the collector]

Man...I been championing for Wall since he came in the league. However, he's gonna get NT's wrath due to @TheCollector

John Wall has been getting NTs wrath. These the same dudes that said Kyrie, Dame and Reggie were better at one point. Now it's IT. Next season it'll be someone else.

Yeah, but GS handled them 3 times already

 

[nflowshoe]

I think so too, exsp the way Chicago is dropping games.

Wahlberg will be happy

If I'm Boston I wouldn't go after Butler, something about his game is unsettling. Butler is pretty much Shrumpert with a green light to shoot. Boston might as well trade for Shrumpert

 

[Bert.]

Dwight made the NBA finals though.

Has a couple ECF appearances,

He's Been all nba 8 times man

He's been DPoy 3 times man.

In what universe is this NOT HoF worthy or "underachieving"

I think people mean he could have been MUCH BETTER which is true

[Animal Thug] Chris Bosh? Na man, he's pretty much Ryan Hollins with a green light to shoot. Might as well trade for Hollins [/Animal Thug]

Yall gotta stop playing

Whose man is this?

Exactly. People still ride Shaq because he didn't care about free throws. Yet Howard gets a pass and can't shoot free throws or has a post game.

One is a 4 time NBA champion and most dominant post player ever. Yet him not caring about free throws is a issue. Ha ha ha

I don't think anyone said reggie was better then Wall. I don't believe that. I don't think it is better then Wall either. Curry and cp3 yes.
Russ and wall are the same tier
. I want neither as the best player on my team.
The other guys you named, nah.

Yep, I said it in the Clips thread,

Blake Griffin playing like a top 5 player since returning from injury is going to keep LAC from falling beyond the 5th seed.

Only hope is that Houston goes on a losing streak at some point and that the clips go on a singular winning streak in the same span to snatch the 3 seed.

 

[P C H]

Yeah, but GS handled them 3 times already

Well yeah, which is why I said "sans gsw" I don't get what you're saying

 

[bhzmafia14]

You are

Show your face if you repped.

Wow

dude's takes lately have been WILD

 

[P C H]

I mean I guess, but that's debatable.

He said Dwight Howard shouldn't be a HoF player, and that's just ridiculous on any level.

Narratives

Man, Dwight Howard and Shaq aren't the same players. Two VERY different categories. Your logic basically states, HOF players = Shaq caliber players. Which means Howard =/= Shaq which means Howard =/= HOF

If this was the criteria, there would only be 25 players in HOF

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease.

Contender like whoooo though?

Not the Land.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease.

Not the Land.

Probably Cleveland. I'd rather see him on the Clips or Spurs

 

[kdslittlebro]

Man just ship everybody to Cleveland. Get an equal team to GSW and say **** it for the next few seasons

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Well yeah, which is why I said "sans gsw" I don't get what you're saying

Means your point in moot
