It will probably be close in Vegas markets, but I'd take Pels

Sometimes you gotta give your picks away to clear the space to sign Belinelli to 3/19

if anyone can recover from it, it's wes, who relies on post game/shooting open shots/crisp passing for most of his offense. i know he "can" beat guys off closeouts but i doubt he shot enough shots at rim in his career for it to be a huge problem for him. that said, i just have no idea how much strength you lose in the lower half of your leg and how much it'll bother him this year, just saying he's the type of guy who should age well, in theory

he would probably be awesome in the Monta Ellis offensive role and he put up sick PnR numbers last year so he could probably help keep DAJ from getting super depressed when he realizes how terrible 90% of the guards in the league are at running the pick and roll compared to Chris Paul.
Lou would be sweet there imo, but i thikn rick wants a little more passing out of his pg(s). Lou is gonna wind up somewhere overpaid. he's actually a pretty good player, the raps did great to take a shot on him, but once he rehabs his career he'll just be overpaid again.

who cares, when you hvae dAJ dunking it and shooters around the perimeter and willing passers you'll be shocked how easy it is for JJB, devis harris, whoever to create buckets. plus, carlisle is a guy you can rely on to be resourceful/creative

Who big free agents left? I look forward to rolo with a bigger role tho im not sure its a good thing


In b4 Rondo to China?

Chris Paul gets on him for his abysmal free throw shooting, can u really blame paul for that?

Mark Cuban 100% told everyone not to mention free throw shooting at all! just sell him this Cinderella offensive story and get him to Dallas.

And of course you cannot underestimate the DIRKKKKKKKKKKK factor.
I would put a 37 year old dirk factor on the same level as kobe. Not much there any more besides reputation.

this offseason is GOAT but NBATV has been WOAT. Next year they better be prepared for this stuff and just be rolling live all day as a News channel.

maybe it's just NBATV Canada but basically we get repeats of the 2002 dunk contest instead of free agency talk
07-03-2015 , 05:10 PM
omg new rick and morty is ****ing amazeballs

Well since it didn't work, yes. Paul is a massive Napoleonic dickhead.

It was brought up in here repeatedly Mavs best offense ever! (pre-Rondo)

Rondo out, W3s for Monta, DAJ for Tyson. A lot better shooting and a younger approximation of Tyson, should be very good if you believe the pre-Rondo stats.

Doesn't want to practice free throws so he runs away.

What a clown, I'm dumbfounded and I'm not even a clipper fan. Someone really sold this guy a lemon story and he bought it.

How many times do I have to post that DAJ wanted to be the athletic big w/ the spotlight and that was never going to happen w/ Blake? And yet post after post is 'huh, wonder why he'd leave?'

I also tried to talk about the Clips being ****ed and what they'd do w/ DAJ gone pages back and no chatter ensued

I am dissapoint
07-03-2015 , 05:15 PM
ADJ is not a better shooting Tyson, he's a better finishing more athletic worse shooting Tyson
07-03-2015 , 05:16 PM
Best offseason in franchise history, at least since I've been alive. Can't wait for the season to get here.

Thanks Dean

But the narrative that Chris Paul is a cancer is so much more fun, I know

Years back would evone have been shocked when TMac left Vince?
07-03-2015 , 05:24 PM
wow

and LMA hasn't signed yet


and i think the Belinelli signing was horrendous

More about playing with people you like that make a good impression on you like Dirk cutting his family vacation early to be at the meeting while no Clippers players seemed to give any ****s about DAJ.
07-03-2015 , 05:31 PM
Dirk is still a really good offensive player but his decline is meaningful and DJA/Wes and no Rondo probably isn't enough to offset it.

He can still be a focal point of a winning team though, he isn't close to Kobe status.
07-03-2015 , 05:34 PM
Right he's closer to KAJ than Kobe

Size doesn't wane w/ age so he can linger around and shoot unguardable shots into his 40's pretty easily

He's also has a much much much better make-up to accept decreased roles along the way ldo, there's no way for me to write that sentence w/o it being a major understatement. I'd have to keep lists 'much' for the next few hours

07-03-2015 , 05:39 PM
what about chalmers and birdman for that haywood contract? (gets miami under the tax)
07-03-2015 , 05:42 PM
