i pretty much forgot that parsons was alive

call all destroyer, Wednesday, 27 April 2016 17:34 (eight years ago) link

he woulda helped them a ton vs okc

Spottie, Wednesday, 27 April 2016 17:35 (eight years ago) link

Should the NBA put the playoffs on hold for 2-4 weeks while guys heal up?

Jenny Ondioleeene (Leee), Wednesday, 27 April 2016 17:45 (eight years ago) link

Oops, wrong thread.

Jenny Ondioleeene (Leee), Wednesday, 27 April 2016 17:45 (eight years ago) link

i def believe dwight will get the max next yr but have consciously ignored as possible that he'll end up getting it from dallas, even though it makes a lot of (non-basketball) sense.

excluding tyson chandler, dwight really is a logical choice in keeping with mavericks tradition of paying & playing awful 5s

geometry-stabilized craft (art), Wednesday, 27 April 2016 17:54 (eight years ago) link

parsons is v good he will get a max deal if he opts out

ciderpress, Wednesday, 27 April 2016 19:18 (eight years ago) link

parsons is 'v good' but injury prone so that knocks him down to just 'good' imo

Spottie, Wednesday, 27 April 2016 20:08 (eight years ago) link

I can't believe we forgot Dallas for Dwight, cubes has even tried to get him a few times hasn't he? Dwight is gonna be a classic bridesmaid max contract anyway and cubes will probably jump in and sign him at midnight just to make a splash

I was thinking about how cubes also tried to get both Shaq and Kobe at different times and I really want to see a short doc or a long z Lowe column on the dirk teammates that might have been throughout the years

wondering if players are thinking he's an idiot now since durant told everyone that's the case. or maybe they've always thought he was an idiot. kinda crazy he's never been able to land the marquee star to pair w dirk

Spottie, Wednesday, 27 April 2016 20:15 (eight years ago) link

supposedly dirk doesn't want to play with dwight and has vetoed that idea already

ciderpress, Wednesday, 27 April 2016 20:16 (eight years ago) link

haha smart man

Spottie, Wednesday, 27 April 2016 20:16 (eight years ago) link

lol

lag∞n, Wednesday, 27 April 2016 20:54 (eight years ago) link

dudes like i'm not sticking around another year for that shit

(•̪●) (carne asada), Wednesday, 27 April 2016 20:55 (eight years ago) link

nomar, Wednesday, 27 April 2016 21:00 (eight years ago) link

dirk is like 50 years old and cooked ftr

k3vin k., Wednesday, 27 April 2016 21:25 (eight years ago) link

he's def sizzling but not fully cooked. like timmy more or less, actually slightly less cooked than timmy.

Spottie, Wednesday, 27 April 2016 21:27 (eight years ago) link

wut

k3vin k., Wednesday, 27 April 2016 21:29 (eight years ago) link

i can't believe timmy is 40

marcos, Wednesday, 27 April 2016 21:32 (eight years ago) link

also kinda crazy that jamal crawford is 36.

Spottie, Wednesday, 27 April 2016 21:37 (eight years ago) link

u really think dirk is fully done kev?

Spottie, Wednesday, 27 April 2016 21:37 (eight years ago) link

it'd be nice if dirk could play 6th man for a contender for a couple years, but that's so not gonna happen

Clay, Wednesday, 27 April 2016 21:39 (eight years ago) link

he's making less than 6th man type of money

Spottie, Wednesday, 27 April 2016 21:41 (eight years ago) link

oh I just mean he's never going to leave the mavs

Clay, Wednesday, 27 April 2016 21:43 (eight years ago) link

right right altho he did kinda say if they start a rebuild he wants out

Spottie, Wednesday, 27 April 2016 21:49 (eight years ago) link

unfortunately Cuban will never blow it up, he'll keep making creaky incremental moves to stay relevant

Clay, Wednesday, 27 April 2016 21:59 (eight years ago) link

u really think dirk is fully done kev?

― Spottie, Wednesday, April 27, 2016 5:37 PM (22 minutes ago

medium well, but i was "wut"-ing at you saying timmy was more cooked. timmy was great most of this year

k3vin k., Wednesday, 27 April 2016 22:00 (eight years ago) link

until the end. but that may just be cos pop isnt playing him much

Spottie, Wednesday, 27 April 2016 22:01 (eight years ago) link

yeah i mean there's worse things than making the playoffs every year and seeing what happens.

Spottie, Wednesday, 27 April 2016 22:02 (eight years ago) link

there's at least 3 ascendant teams in the West they have to keep ahead of if they want to make the offs again I think a lot has to happen for them to stay relevant past this year

ciderpress, Wednesday, 27 April 2016 22:06 (eight years ago) link

if daj hadn't wussed out on his commitment to the mavs, they would have won in the neighborhood of 50 and would have more to build on going forward

a little too mature to be cute (Aimless), Wednesday, 27 April 2016 22:09 (eight years ago) link

yeah probably so.

you know whats crazy, jamal crawford is 36

Spottie, Wednesday, 27 April 2016 22:14 (eight years ago) link

West could look extremely different next yr though it's hard to make real predictions yet. Rockets okc clippers could all blow up their teams or not

ciderpress, Wednesday, 27 April 2016 22:32 (eight years ago) link

otm

Tony Xypteras ‎@TonyXypteras
DeMarcus Cousins said the Kings would be a playoff team if Michael Malone were still here. Didn't hesitate.

Spottie, Thursday, 28 April 2016 21:23 (eight years ago) link

While the c's were down about 18 or so last night I idly wondered if there were any free agent wings who score about 20-25 ppg that could slot right in there

gis for westbrook shark jump (agent hibachi), Friday, 29 April 2016 15:10 (eight years ago) link

There's one who used to play in Seattle but he's probably loyal to his rookie college coach and energy robber baron team owners I guess

gis for westbrook shark jump (agent hibachi), Friday, 29 April 2016 15:11 (eight years ago) link

idk kd seeming very up for grabs

lag∞n, Friday, 29 April 2016 15:14 (eight years ago) link

wait was that sarcasm

lag∞n, Friday, 29 April 2016 15:14 (eight years ago) link

so gonna happen imo

if young slothrop don't trust ya i'm gon' rhyme ya (slothroprhymes), Friday, 29 April 2016 15:18 (eight years ago) link

derozan too but i'd rather have someone who can shoot 3s

ciderpress, Friday, 29 April 2016 15:22 (eight years ago) link

no derozan tyvm

call all destroyer, Friday, 29 April 2016 15:23 (eight years ago) link

yeah i still think he's a mirage

ciderpress, Friday, 29 April 2016 15:24 (eight years ago) link

also can't play IT/derozan together

ciderpress, Friday, 29 April 2016 15:26 (eight years ago) link

in the event that KD doesn't want to come here theres a pretty big drop to the next best available player in that role (parsons?) so you'd probably have to go for a big trade

ciderpress, Friday, 29 April 2016 15:28 (eight years ago) link

theres a guy in chicago who doesn't like fred hoiberg or that front office (that said paxson/forman hold onto assets with hooked claws)

if young slothrop don't trust ya i'm gon' rhyme ya (slothroprhymes), Friday, 29 April 2016 15:30 (eight years ago) link

ya i wonder where dannys head is at re maxing out 2nd tier free agents, trade does seem to be the way to go if youre swinging for the fences, nets pick lands in the top 2 and the celtics cld have some good options

lag∞n, Friday, 29 April 2016 15:31 (eight years ago) link

was reading a chris mannix thing just now saying the strategy will be to trade for a piece or two that would make the team appealing to durant or i guess some plan b free agent
