dubs shd adopt a 3 seconds or less rule
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 5 July 2016 19:31 (seven years ago) link
lma, even as a multiple all-star, was pretty deferential when he first arrived in SA. kd might feel he needs to fit in on the dubs, more than the dubs need to fit themselves around him.

yeah kd is def the least accurate 3pt shooter of the three

miami bout to have whiteside and... who
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 5 July 2016 19:57 (seven years ago) link
he basically can play for the most money for bad teams or can play for no money for the cavs. the heat are probably right in calling his bluff on that but if he leaves they have $20 million in cap space and no players left to spend it on.
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 5 July 2016 19:57 (seven years ago) link
seemed fake until today. maybe he wants out and this way he can blame it on them?
― moistest hoist (Spottie), Tuesday, 5 July 2016 19:59 (seven years ago) link
i don't think he wants out but you can understand why he would be mad over the way they went about the offseason
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 5 July 2016 20:00 (seven years ago) link
at this point they should just give him the 2/50 he supposedly wants, idk what else they're gonna do w/ that money
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 5 July 2016 20:01 (seven years ago) link
does that strap them for next summer tho?
― moistest hoist (Spottie), Tuesday, 5 July 2016 20:02 (seven years ago) link
it would but on the other hand if wade leaves the heat will get bounced in the first round next season (if they're lucky) and i dunno how that makes them any more attractive in free agency next summer
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 5 July 2016 20:05 (seven years ago) link
heat not sniffing the offs sans wade
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 5 July 2016 20:07 (seven years ago) link
the thing that makes it difficult to read the heat is bosh's health. he's getting paid $23m a year and there's prob like 5 people total who know his likelihood of being able to play beyond this season.
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 5 July 2016 20:07 (seven years ago) link
well if bosh is healthy i think dragic/bosh/whiteside & the young guys could be a playoff team but they would be in the bottom muck of the playoff race xp
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 5 July 2016 20:08 (seven years ago) link
ya bosh health obvs a big wildcard but their wing rotation wld be p bleak reguardless

presuming festus gets a deal elsewhere i guess zaza starts and west backs him up, don't think west has enough left in the tank for a system that fast-paced tho

My sense is that wade really wants those extra millions, so he's not bluffing in that sense. If the nuggets are ready to pay him what he wants and Miami isn't willing, I predict he'll go to denver.
His questionable health is both the reason he wants the big payday now and in an unbreakable contract and the reason most teams won't be willing to pony up the big bucks for him. He's lucky his health situation is vague enough that someone is willing to gamble on him being able to deliver good value in return for the cash.
― a little too mature to be cute (Aimless), Tuesday, 5 July 2016 20:21 (seven years ago) link
there's zero chance he goes to denver

despite the warriors ruining the league, pretty much every team has something interesting going on right now. i think basketball will survive this

re: david west, he had a career year in terms of efficiency. he'll be good for them off the bench, but he won't get any playoff burn.

spurs dumping reasonably priced boris contract so they can pay old pau $20 million per year feels a little.... desperate
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 5 July 2016 20:54 (seven years ago) link
diaw was a DNP in game 6 on the playoffs, and he's 34. and it's $15m for pau.
― 6 god none the richer (m bison), Tuesday, 5 July 2016 20:55 (seven years ago) link
besides pau is a duncan replacement, not a diaw replacement
wonder what they wldve done if they had the durant info first
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 5 July 2016 20:56 (seven years ago) link
i mean i love bobo, one of my top 10 all time favorite players to watch, but the writing was on the wall in the playoffs.
xp
― 6 god none the richer (m bison), Tuesday, 5 July 2016 20:57 (seven years ago) link
pau was still one of their targets, if they knew KD was GS bound, theyd still need a C.
― 6 god none the richer (m bison), Tuesday, 5 July 2016 20:59 (seven years ago) link
everyone has money to burn this summer, so I don't read taking pau over boris as a desperate move. spurs paid only ~4.5 million in luxury taxes last season, and had the second best record behind the dubs' 73-9. now they have more cap space, so they used it to advantage.
― a little too mature to be cute (Aimless), Tuesday, 5 July 2016 20:59 (seven years ago) link
pau's offensive stats overrate him, he's pretty redundant next to LMA & i don't think he's really any less ripe to being exposed by youth and athleticism in the playoffs but maybe there were really no better options out there for them
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 5 July 2016 21:05 (seven years ago) link
