NBA Off season

[Flugel for 3]

SO I'm reading Laker's traded D'Angelo Russ & Mozgov to Brooklyn for B lopez & a draft pick

Off loading cap space for PG13 maybe ?

 

[exzibit3]

I like it. Lopez is an excellent centre and it frees up cap space. He can stretch it out to the perimeter and hit threes now too.

Dwight to the Hornets too - this is shaping up to be a hyper active draft time

wow he has been ticked off a few teams now

David Lee won't return to the Spurs next season and they are shopping Danny Green, hopefully we get CP3!

I'm surprised why Dwight gets such a bad rep.. He's actually a really good centre still and is efficient on limited plays. In a recent interview, he said that he is going to unleash the 3 point shot into his game this off season as that's how the game is evolving. Bigs don't stay under the basket anymore.

I had Dwight in fantasy bball. The dudes free throw shooting is putrid and he gets techs all of the time. He's constantly whining.

I'm not surprised teams get so sick of him. CHA didn't have to give up much to get him. That says a lot.

In saying that, he's still a pretty damned good player and was a solid pick up for CHA.

Anyone else not a fan of the NBA Awards show? When the Champions have already been crowned who really cares who the MVP is.

I'm not a fan.

What's strange is that you could still bet on the MVP after the votes were all taken. Seems dodgy.

Definitely a little dodgy if there is no limits on the bets.

Two and a half months since the regular season finished - there is just way too long of a gap/disconnect.

Agreed.

It's clearly a ploy to keep the NBA in the news during off season.

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

Ridiculous concept but who knows with the yanks and their concepts - that ESPY's shit show goes alright on the ratings doesn't it?

 

[exzibit3]

Agreed. I think just blardy make the announcement as soon as the regular season is over, not even early playoffs like it used to be. It is after all a regular season award. How hard can it be to tally couple hundred votes? Guess there's a few million reasons why they've made it into an awards ceremony $$$. People far smarter than us would have worked out the revenue generated from it I guess.

 

[exzibit3]

So stoked to see Phil leave the Knicks. Maybe, just maybe, they can start to make some good basketball moves starting now.

 

[exzibit3]

Holy moley! CP3 traded to Houston! Weird move when harden is so ball dominant..

Agreed not that I'm a knick fan . But had to shake my head when hearing some of his possible moves

 

[nike1]

i've said it elsewhere, but it appears the general consensus is a harden/cp3 backcourt won't work.
the awards show? i semi-liked it, would have been better if it was a bit shorter, and change the timeslot to maybe before the nba finals?

 

[edac6942]

Totally agree, im sort of confused as to what they are trying to do, they sent away some very decent players for him, it just wont make sense unless houston knows something we dont know, maybe paul george is heading houstons way.

rumors/fake news
DMC to the cavs for tristan thompson & scraps.

 

[exzibit3]

D'Antoni will have a bit of an interesting time trying to reinvent the offense for CP3. This trade likely was the best deal that the Clips were offered and it makes sense that they'd try to get something rather than nothing when CP3 becomes a free agent. On the other side, the Rockets owners have always said that they would gamble when it comes to winning and if you have a chance to go all in to acquire an All Star point guard for a bunch of second tier players, I think you pull the trigger.

Meanwhile, Dan Gilbert has let go of their GM and was seen schmoozing with Clown Trump who LeBron has been critical of. I really wouldn't be surprised if LeBron leaves the Cavs in the not too distant future, maybe try to prove that whichever team he goes to, instantly punches their tickets to the Finals.
