i dont think the bucks are gonna do jack shit, that roster is still a mess despite the talent on it

imo giannis/delly/middleton/parker/henson is pretty sound

xp it's not like they can just sign whoever and he can still shoot

i dunno they were one game away from the conference finals w/ their starting PF and C from the beginning of the season not playing
finding whiteside, josh richardson & tyler johnson was prob some of his best ever GMing
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 7 July 2016 03:53 (seven years ago) link
whiteside was some near miraculous gming for sure
― lag∞n, Thursday, 7 July 2016 03:55 (seven years ago) link
if bosh is healthy im slightly more optimistic regarding the heat than the rest of you. dragic's game was totally neutered playing next to wade & he showed in the playoffs he can still be a game changing force. they almost certainly don't have the sheer talent to seriously compete w/ the cavs, raps, celts etc but a penetrating guard like dragic with an alley ooper/rim protector like whiteside and a mobile stretch 4 like bosh is at least moving in concert with the modern nba stylistically speaking. they'll still need more shooting but they have a lot of cap space to play with now.
again if bosh can play i think they'll be in the fight for seeds 5-8. if he has to retire then they're fucked on several fronts.

u r high af, delly is garbage, middleton is a good stats on a shitty team HOFer, all these guys are completely untested and won 33 games last year. lots and lots and lots of teams are bad for years and draft lots of young talent and dont go anywhere with it and bucks are that team.
― 6 god none the richer (m bison), Thursday, 7 July 2016 04:02 (seven years ago) link
i think bosh is done, thats why i think miami falls. if he's healthy enough thatll cushion their fall.

i would have paid wade but i can't fault riley for wanting to be a year early on getting off of wade's contract than two years too late

they play in the east and their lineup is rondo/wade/butler/mirotic/rolo, they'll be a playoff team
― k3vin k., Thursday, 7 July 2016 04:03 (seven years ago) link
don't know why everyone thinks the pacers are good now ive been seeing that everywhere
bucks are on upward trajectory but prob still like 10-12th
― ciderpress, Thursday, 7 July 2016 04:03 (seven years ago) link
sounds reasonable tho i dont even know who starts at 2 for them then whos the backup and then winslow at the 3 their wing production cld be real bad, losing wade and deng is a lot
xp jord

u knows whos weird that everyone thinks will be good is the jazz
― lag∞n, Thursday, 7 July 2016 04:06 (seven years ago) link
the final 3-4 playoff spots will prob be determined by a few games difference in record and there's a lot of downside w/ the bulls if wade's body breaks down like it did in the few seasons before this one. if he gives them the season he just gave the heat this year then i'd agree they're likely in the playoffs.
also they had tons of bad vibes there last year. hoiberg seemed in over his head & jimmy does not seem to have been a positive presence behind the scenes. throw in rondo & desperate wade.... i could see them having another disaster year.
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 7 July 2016 04:08 (seven years ago) link
jazz are definitely good
― ciderpress, Thursday, 7 July 2016 04:08 (seven years ago) link
they still have so little playmaking just like last year and r insanely slow great defensive team prob but theure not gonna be able to score their big addition is the famously non penetrating george hill

yeah i dunno they'll have to get creative. richardson prob plays the 2 for them and they'll need him to shoot really well again. a starting 5 of dragic-richardson-winslow-bosh-whiteside could be something i think but they have no bench. it will all be hanging by a thread for them and like the bulls the downside is pretty big. but there were a lot of bad parts to wade's game that i think the heat will benefit from flushing out.

on the new zach lowe pod him & arnovitz agree that the jazz are the 4th best team in the west
this seems crazy to me
― lag∞n, Thursday, 7 July 2016 04:11 (seven years ago) link
they barely made the offs last year and didnt add anyone that good

like what % of jazz possessions ended w an off balance hayward 20 footer as the shit clock expired

lol shit clock
jazz missed the playoffs by 1 game without starting an nba quality point guard all season
― ciderpress, Thursday, 7 July 2016 04:15 (seven years ago) link
also they had a bunch of injuries apparently
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 7 July 2016 04:15 (seven years ago) link
yeah wow the west is kind of top-heavy now. top 3 are obviously warriors-spurs-clippers, but after that there's not clear 4th. hard to tell who the best of the mavs/thunder/rockets/jazz bunch is. what did the blazers do this offseason?
― k3vin k., Thursday, 7 July 2016 04:16 (seven years ago) link
paid evan turner a lot of money
― ciderpress, Thursday, 7 July 2016 04:16 (seven years ago) link
they gave evan turner $75 million

oh shit right
― k3vin k., Thursday, 7 July 2016 04:17 (seven years ago) link
yikes
i think the jazz will be better than dallas. prob memphis too.
yeah there are like 5 teams overall you can pencil in for at least 50 wins next year and after that who knows

if M Gasol stays healthy they are arguably better with the addition of parsons, could see them hanging around the 4 seed

i have no idea what to make of the rockets. i hated their offseason but you still have to imagine they won't be as bad as last season.
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 7 July 2016 04:21 (seven years ago) link
ppl seem to think hill is a really good fit w/ their roster
xp yes these are all good reasons why they're not one of the top teams but they still easily project to make the offs

dantoni with ryan anderson and harden could be kinda fun? idk

probably at the expense of the mavs or blazers, i dont think the rockets are better
