The Official Offseason 2016-17 NBA Thread: Waiting for Preseason

Still a little disappointed the Sixers couldn’t grab Clarkson. The Lakers made sure he wouldn’t hit the market requiring vast overpayment.

Also still very much disappointed the Lakers were able to leapfrog us in the 2015 draft and steal DeAngelo from us.

He’s starting because Walton realizes Lou is a terrible defender at the 2 position. Not that Nick Young is much better in that regard.

What needs to happen is moving Russell at SG, and reinserting Clarkson as the PG. They might try this now that Ingram is injured.

Anthony Davis should not have signed that contract.

Raps always play the cavs tough great win kyrie made when it counted

You see how Anthony Davis was talking to steph after the game

He’s going to the Warriors

Them Rockets.

Pringles has to use Montrezl Harrel more we need that energy off the bench.

Didn’t get to post it on game 1 but GG Lakers we will get that run back.

good for barnes.

heard KJ got some run tonight. fuck moreyball; unleash McDaniels.

Davis could score 40 points a night, and the Pels will still be cellar dwellers.

I hope he has an opt out halfway thru his contract, because his GM ain’t doing shit but wasting his best years. KG all over again.

GS needs to get McGee on the court. Zaza and West aren’t enough.

surprised no one made a post about westbrook going westbrook tonight…

Why do Varejao even get minutes??? He can’t grab a board, he is slow on rotations, can’t defend perimeter, doesn’t help… he is absolutely useless. Just give Javale +15 mins

You really want to give Shaq a field day for his segment?

They are giving McDaniels more minutes then they used to, ie he is actually seeing the court outside of garbage time and he is showing some promise. Have to worry how much time he would be getting if Beverly was able to play however, also the fact is that the Rockets are still for at least 60% or more of each game playing trash defense from the two games I have seen. You get some nice individual efforts here and there like with Ariza and moments where Nene doesn’t look like last contract guy, but the overall team still doesn’t seem able to stop people for long when Harden doesn’t play defense and he only does that for a quarter.

Anthony Davis passed MJ as the best start to an NBA season. 95 points to MJ’s 91.

I really hope Davis can opt out.

I’m fine with two bloopers per game if that means 2 blocks per game and someone who can do putbacks and get boards. Right now Varejao is useless and a waste of resources. ZaZa needs some development and gonna get better down the road but think Warriors will benefit from McGee as second unit center

Ive always seen mcgee as someone who has loads of talent and athleticism but is the dumbest player to exist

Shroder can’t guard Sergio Rodriguez.

Good job ATL on that contract. :rofl:

EDIT: He just made Shroder fall.

Look at this shit…

If dude had an average to slightly above average basketball IQ, he’d be a damn multi-year allstar.

I was going to talk about it last night but its to early in the season to argue with the efficiency circle jerk crowd. But, but, but he didn’t shoot 70% from the field and his TS was too low.

Westbrook doesn’t need Durant he’s just gonna take all his shot attempts for his own. Problem solved.

Orlando probably about to be 0-3. So much for Ibaka making a difference.

Pacers lost to Nets last night and are now getting blown out by Chicago. It’s early but… that Pacers superteam ain’t looking too nice.
