re: 2016 NBA Offseason Thread

Everyone already talking about how it's a 2 team league and we gonna be seeing Cavs/Dubs for years. Just throwing in my .02

People ready to crown GSW already but as Lee Corso would say, not so fast my friend...

Don't worry a lockout is coming next year where owners will guarantee a hard cap/super max so this won't happen again and GSW can't keep Curry and Durant so it's only a one year destruction.

Agreed. Plenty of good teams that can still contend and win. Nothing is easy in the NBA.

Nothing.

So happy that I can root for KD again. This is great!

While that might be true, I'm sure it doesn't make it any less sweet watching the franchise that ****ed you over suffer. It's like eventually walking into McDonald's to get a cheeseburger and seeing your ex working the fries with the dude that she left you for cause he was "so much better and successful than you" because he HAD a better job at the time. Yeah you might still be single at that point and still not quite where you want to be professionally, but that sight will be PRICELESS.

Can definitely confirm that feeling

Y'all right.

I mean the NBA isn't exactly the poster chid of parity, and this really isn't going to help that. At all lol.


edit: ISN'T not is lol

re: 2016 NBA Offseason Thread

Last time I looked they went to 4 straight Finals and won two titles. They did exactly what they should have. Competed every single year for a title.

Winning titles is no joke. In fact I would say winning an NBA title is the hardest road in sports.

With that being said I think the move is weak. Really weak because he did not have the burning desire to go back to his own team with his brothers and get back and this time finish the job.

I was a benefactor of Lebron jumping ship as a life long Heat fan. But this reeks even more. More so because your going to a direct rival who bitch slapped you down 3-1.

Back in my younger years watching the Association you would never have seen all this team jumping.

Jordan
Magic
Bird
Isiah
Stockton
Malone
Drexler
Hakeem

Yeah Clyde eventually went to Houston later in his career and Malone went for it after Stockton retired. But all those guys came back every year and went to battle. No buddy buddy BS, and chit chatting after games. These guys went at it.

The NBA has changed drastically in that regard. I think it's weak and quite frankly....cheesy as hell.

It's also like Red-Sox players going to the Yankees......****ing weak *** baby back BS.

Call me old. But I liked it better growing up.....oh well.

In the meantime (health allowing) my Heaters will be a ECF contender again.

Dragic
Wade
Winslow
Bosh
Whiteside

And we are going to match Tyler's offer sheet no question now. We just need to pick up some bargain pieces but if WHiteside and Bosh were healthy we would have had an even more successful season and reached the ECF in all likelihood.

Having a healthy Bosh is critical. Fingers crossed for one of the classiest players in the league.


Go Heat!!!!!

And **** GSW......weak sauce. Hope whomever plays them beats their asses again. They are public enemy number one now. There IMO will be more discontent with them than my Lebron Heat. This is pure fantasy basketball LOL so cheesy man.

Unless your GSW fan.....you can't root for the team. If you do....your a bandwagon Jabroni.

You really sat down, typed this out and hit post as a Miami Heat fan. Spectacular.

I generally agree with this. I think the Eastern Conference has a handful of teams that can conceivably take down Cleveland. I don't really see much of the same parity in the West though which is why I don't think it's too crazy to say that GSW has a legit chance of making a run of WC championships in the short term.

re: 2016 NBA Offseason Thread

It's always interesting to see how people define parity because we've had 6 different NBA franchises win a championship in the last 7 years... Well 5 if you define Lebron as a franchise lol.

re: 2016 NBA Offseason Thread

Are we ruling out Durant's 1+1 as a sign that he's just out to sabotage GS? It's actually GENIUS...get GSW to trade away their depth and then be like "lol, later" 1 year later as he returns to OKC with GOATbrook.

GENIUS

re: 2016 NBA Offseason Thread

Maybe Durant will finally learn how to move without the ball now...

Westbrook is the straw that stirred that drink.....no doubt. Love that kid. He is a dynamite cold blooded killer on the hardwood. He just needs to mature a little more but he has got "it".

But wow. I really feel for OKC fans. I really do. It is a real kick in the balls. So weak.
