2016-2017 NBA Season Thread [ARCHIVED] Basketball • Page 48

Obviously Curry and Durrant will be taking many many many many days off during the regular season. Kerr should play a straight up platoon after the all-star break.

 

Yeah but at least in okc the universal hate isn't there. Only thing that took it off LeBron was winning.

 

The NBA may suck next year. Haha.

 

Duncan was great pretty much his entire career, but also boring. I will not miss him.

 

How to beat the warriors:

Post up
Have a good bench

 

Also idk how he purports "his growth as a player" as his basis for his decision. Since when does attenuating the adversity in any situation ever make you better? He might become a better more resilient person from all the hate he will get, maybe even a better off the ball player, but hell never get to legendary status going this route.

And agree, this is way way way worse than Lebron leaving. As its been said, lebrons was more the way he handled it than the actual leaving. This is just flat out weak from a competitive-mindset standpoint, leaving a championship contending team to go to the team that you were beating 3-1 and when you had a noticeable faltering at the end of game 7. Not saying he should get all the hate or even that its a a bad basketball decision, but id agree when you are so highly regarded and being penned as a HOF and trying to become a legend and one of the best players ever which is obviously a primary goal of his, this is possibly the worst decision he could've made.

 

Score one for Nike.

Those Curry twos needed help.

 

Am I the only one kinda hoping that Green and KD don't get along at all?

 

doesnt really matter, just happy for an exciting brand of basketball

more fun than alot of these teams that will try to slow them down

 

How about Kemba, MKG, a couple 1sts

 

Heh, a bench that will probably now have to face one for sure, if not two, of the four all-stars.

 

Watching the Rockets lose by 40 is an exciting brand of basketball.

 

itll be right in line with Portland and everyone else =/

what a gross season this will be

 

Lakers might have a shot at Westbrook next season as well. Especially if Ingram lives up to his potential.

 

This really makes no sense though. Like Stephen A. Smith said, if you're going to sign a short term deal with the Warriors, why not just sign a short deal with OKC? see if Oladipo gets you over that very short hump that you needed to get over, then go from there. You're only 27. Its not like your 32 and you're body and skills are starting to go and you're worried about never winning a championship.

 

Have Lebron James

 

Roman is a decent backup. Especially at that price.

We still have a little room to go after another piece. Maybe a backup SF or C.

 

Hornets had to make sure KD wasn't signing in Charlotte before signing Sessions.
