Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

I still wanted him to wait til like September/October to announce just to piss people off and annoyed because they couldn't get what THEY wanted, lol.

So I definitely wasn't saying that just because...I really meant that.

Thats just overkill man...downright ignorant to try to pull something like that.

He can have scalabrine's old player coach spot on the bench.

And Salary.

I can't seem to find the seriousness in this post

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

So do the OS Bulls fans have any interest in Wade if Melo doesn't come?

Yeah, for the league minimum if he wants it.

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

parsons and defense , thats a funny one ^^

they will have Tjones, (i forget what garcia is doing), isaiah cannon, and some other guys they pick up. with that starting lineup you really dont need anymore than 1 big, and 2 wings to come off the bench. all the starters can do 35+ minutes a game

Is Parsons really that bad of a defender?

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

None at all thank you very much lol

Melo need to quit playing and come on to the Chi. Don't deprive the world of LeBron/Kyrie/Love vs Melo/Rose/Noah. Just sign here outright since Phil gonna be stubborn about a sign and trade. Sign at the four year price point after we amnesty Boozer and ship out MDJ opt out after the third year with his bird years and sign an extension with the maximum raises and make back up the money he leaves on the table now. There's nothing at the end of that Knicks cap space dream cause Love will be in Cleveland next year and Aldridge ain't leaving Portland.

Going against that passing team in San Antonio? You dang right lol.

Harden and Bosh are two liabilities. Parsons would be one as well. I think that team can beat OKC.

And speaking of OKC.....I was right in their championship window closing after that Finals loss.

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

What should the lakers do? It sounds like no Carmelo and it sounds like love may be off the table to. Things are really looking blick for the lakers. I know they made a trade for lin today and get a 1st round pick to but Huston is going to be good so the pick is not going to be a high pick. Gasol could end up leving for nothing or even if the lakers want to do a sing and trade how much could they get for him in return? The lakers could try for 2015 and love but that may not be a option if love goes to celevend and resings or 2016 and KD but kobe could be done by then and one star is not enough.

No he's not. He seems to have gotten worse this past season though based on the comments.

Warriors really sounding like they don't want to give up Klay. I really don't know why the Warriors are so unwilling to add in Klay, dude is far from untouchable especially in a trade for a superstar.

IMO, I'd rather give Minn Klay+Lee than Lee+Green+Barnes. Klay honestly benefits a lot from playing with Curry, he's not that good at creating for himself and getting to the basket.

Big dick Dray got so much better last year and this offseason has been working hard on his 3 pt shot, love the guy's hustle and overall energy. He also won't be demanding anywhere near the money Klay will be.

Barnes...I still believe, imo people got way overhyped over him posting up and scoring on Tony Parker (which I'm sure Pop was okay with), then he got a raw deal in Jackson's ridiculously heavy iso system which basically put Barnes in situations where he was a lot less likely to succeed. Kerr's more ball movement offense should utilize Barnes more as a cutter instead of running post up iso's for him for days.

Not that far lol, but waiting until 7/11 is seriously nothing for folks to be upset about

That whole team's scheme wasn't that great to begin with.

You saw what happened at the Portland game after McHale told them NOT to switch. Well Harden made them switch anyway then didn't even move over to help.

I hope people aren't expecting Parsons to be Scottie Pippen now

Realize that they have to strike gold in the draft to be relevant in this decade. After Kobe leaves say hello this team again

While barnes I don't think is has good has people thought he would be and had a dissapoting year this year and klay showed a good improvement so I could see why they wouldn't want to trade klay. Plus klay and curry are the best shooting pg, sg combo in the NBA.

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

So the Melo/Bron super team they were delaying their announcement to negotiate isn't happening?
