I'm pretty sure it's impossible but Houston would be the most ridiculous team in a fantasy world where they somehow could resign Clint Capela and get King James+PG13. It would kill the league until Lebron and CP3 start to slow down.

Spite posted:The celtics are trying to get super long and switchy. The combo of tatum and brown is probably more valuable than kawhi going forward imo. Leonard healthy is a MVP caliber player, when you have a chance trade for a player on that level you go for it. It's not often players like that switch teams.

Comrade Gorbash posted:That’s my hesitation - plus no one knows if Kawhi would re-sign in Boston, and making that trade for one year of Kawhi is a bad deal. That's why the GM tries to get a guarantee from the player before pulling the trigger. If I was the Mavs GM I'd at least consider DSJ +Powell and draft pick from a non-18 draft or 18 draft pick + Powell+ future first round pick for Leonard if he agreed to stay in Dallas. Spite posted:My point was 2 long switchy defenders are better than one, especially when you are trying to design your defense around having as many long switchy defenders as possible.

Rick posted:The Lakers played .500 ball after January despite a ton of injuries and basically deciding to heavily feature the South Bay Lakers during April. Ingram took a pretty nice step forward, Kuzma bounced back from hitting the rookie wall pretty hard and finished the season strong. Julius Randle was a monster and averaged 20/9 after the ASB. Even Josh Hart is even contributing is looking like a nice glue roleplayer. Do you think the Lakers will keep Randle? I assume the decision will be based on their chances of getting free agents but haven't read any rumors on this. RaySmuckles posted:who are the lakers giving up to get kawhi in this situation? Sign and trade Randle for Kawhi instead of keeping him in that situation and try to sign Noel for ultra cheap.

RaySmuckles posted:there was an somewhat interesting article from ~~the ringer~~ (i think) about the supermax and how its basically never been used by a small market team, nor ever will be because 35% of the cap is simply too limiting to teams. Allow every team one contract that does not count against the salary cap and has no limits on amounts that can be offered. Maybe some guys might still think about teaming up but it'd be hard if a team is offering you $50 million a year.

Akbar posted:Where is this hot rear end take coming from? An example of a player that deserved his rep for being hard is Jerry Stackhouse. Dude beat up a player in the hallway because he made him mad in a game. also I have a very painful cyst on my face and likely have finals stress. I've never had a stress cyst, not fun. The Stackhouse Snyder fight was a 1 game suspension. I can't imagine how many games a player would get suspended for now if something like that happened. The closet thing I can think of from this season is the Chris Paul secret tunnel into the Clippers locker room situation. Also, I missed the last Sixers Heat game but man has that series been physical. Having teams that hate each other in a playoff series owns. Did they have issues with each other or is it just playoffs? Spacebump fucked around with this message at 22:54 on Apr 20, 2018 |

WhyteRyce posted:I love how Sonics fans were so concerned about the welfare of the city of Sacramento in taking on a terrible arena deal. Some poster who I don't remember even replying too ever tried to call me out in the Intel CPU thread of all places about him being right about the deal being a city killer like he said it would be. He linked to an article he didn't even read that had a title about how the city was missing out on huge benefits from the arena as proof, but all the article was about how the city wasn't fully utilizing their free use of the arena for a certain number of events each year and why weren't they using it for things like police graduations. Lol at fans of a stolen team getting that passive over not being able to steal someone else's team.

Cool Buff Man posted:If you are under the impression that the Warriors haven't been coasting to this point that's fine but I don't agree with you, no need to get so pissy about it I think it's less the Warriors coasting and more they had injury issues throughout the regular season. Personally I think the Rockets are a real threat to them and shouldn't be dismissed so quickly. Will be interesting to see the series to see if this is true or not.

Ghost Dog posted:clint capela is valuable but a garbage bucket geter and good defender is not comparable to an elite 3pt shooter/shot creator and whatever superlatives you want to bring up for draymond green I don't think I'd call .301 from three elite 3 point shooting. Green is a good player but would he be an all star if he was the best player on a team? I'd lean towards no. Capela wouldn't be either but he is also a good player. They fill different valuable roles for their teams. Still the Rockets trio are top 12 in winshares or top 10 in the lesser ws per 48 stat. This should probably not be ignored.

I did not realize Hibbert was unable to make a roster this season. It seems like just yesterday he was trying to get FIBA clearance to leave Team Jamaica to join Team USA. How is he not good enough to have Perk's spot on the Cavs' roster?
