Official NBA 2012-2013 Season Thread

i still dont get why Jazz have Al Jeff, Favors, Milsap, and Kantar. Kantar and Favors look like their ready for at least 30 mins a game

 

[htg designs]

Sixers this year gone look similar but not as good as Magic two years ago. just the facts

 

[licensed to ball]

Magic have one of the worst starting line-ups I have seen in years.
I almost feel sorry for them.

What did they get back in return for Dwight again? :x

 

[SORIANOTRON]

Isn;t Reke 6'5 though?
So who would you say does it more at that height Soriano?

 

[AEA18]

Are the Pacers the tallest team in the NBA?

Paul George 6'8
Danny Granger 6'8
Gerald Green 6'8
Tyler Hansbrough 6'9
Jeff Pendergraph 6'9
David West 6'9
Ian Mahinmi 6'11
Miles Plumlee 6'11
Luke Nevill 7'2
Roy Hibbert 7'2

 

[pmatic]

Yes, it's only pre-season but Andre Drummond.

Jefferson is a big expiring and Millsap has one year left too. They can unload Al this season or keep him and let him expire and get the cap room.. and same with Millsap, either trade for another young guy, or re-sign if they can get a good deal and have a good trio of big men with he, Kanter, and Favors.

I was trashing on the Pistons hard a few months ago but they got something really, really good there with Drummond and Monroe. With the mix of vets and good young players there I could see a sneaky playoff team in them.

supposedly Paul George has grown 2 inches to 6'10 since he's been in the league

 

[big j 33]

Even if Drummond doesn't put it all together, he's still a giant human being... that alone is worth the risk.

 

[bhzmafia14]

Why Thabeet couldn't do this?

exactly, its time to let favors get his PT. and remember they talk to milsap about a new contract in the offseason but couldnt work one out. you can get something good back for big al

Henson.

He is probably better than Sanders, Udoh and Mbah a Moute right now, but he'll end up getting buried on the bench.

this is exactly why the bucks suck they have 4 different guys that are pretty much the same type of player

Nah, the Lakers can't do sign and trades since they're paying the tax. But Smith is free to sign for the mini-MLE.

Pistons got 27 mill in capspace this coming summer.

Monroe, Drummond, Smith, Stuckey, and Knight

:x :x :x

 

[pmatic]

Because the last time Dumars had cap space, it ended so well.

Best believe most of that cap space will be used for Monroe's extension next fall.

If he resigns now he is only eligible for a 3 yr extension. If he waits for it to expire he can get a 5 yr deal

 

[acbboyz84]

Smith and Howard on the Lakers. It is destined

THIS

and smith is a PF how is he going to work in detroit?

im say smith is traded by the deadline

 

[Master Zik]

Not surprised, Smith was making trade demands last season. Son been unhappy ever since Horford got hurt and he got to see the team play without him. The lack of Joe makes it even worse.

I wanted him with Dwight in BK but LAL is just as good. Would definitely improve their defense.

He's wanted to leave the A for multiple years now.
