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

I like Giannis. I hope he can develop a jumpshot in the near future.

Goddamn.

Whelp Warriors farming wins against us, 3 starters out. I guess the only good thing outta this is that Ingram is getting heavy minutes

Kevin Martin retired. Hard to believe how fast his career went by. Seemed like just yesterday he was averaging 20 in Sacramento when they tried to make him their new star after the early 2000s Kings broke up.

A shame his career never hit the next level. He was always a great hand to have but for whatever reason couldn’t break through the glass ceiling and find that missing attribute he needed to become an All-Star.

He was always injured. He’s so good at getting to the line, and I fucking love the way he shoots.

My Hornets beating those fake ass Knicks.

Melo for #shaqtinafool

Amazing stat: Dion Waiters is making his matchups shoot 38%. Still inconsistent, but dude is turning a corner and becoming a legit two-way player.

Russell tied LeBron tonight with yet another triple double.

I seriously didn’t notice him get any before last year, and now he’s 6th all time.

The way he’s going, he’s probably going to be #1.

Russ averaging 32pts, 10.9 asts, and 9.8 rebs for the season.

I doubt he maintains that but it’s impressive for 17 games in.

Westbrook’s team is set up for him to get those numbers all year. Easy assists with Kanter and Adams, and everybody boxes out so he can get rebounds. His points are a necessity even though Oladipo is playing much better than expected.

Poor Javale

Well, at least the Mavs are still fighting, not winning, but fighting.

The mavs are just injured to shit this year. Next year it won’t be better. Dirk should have jump ship to GS with KD so he can get that final ring.

Yo, the Sixers/Cavs game is really good right now.

D-Mo is dumb for not accepting the Rockets offer, sigh and we could really use him to.

Suns fandom is chock full of morons. “Trade Bledsoe!” “Trade Len!” “Trade Knight and a pick for Cousins!” I absolutely hate what my team’s fanbase has become.

Sixers play hard. Can’t wait until Embiid and Okafor can play a the same time w/ Simmons.

This is why the Clippers are still the Clippers. Blowout loss to a PG less squad

Goddamn Corey Brewer is fucking trash.

Hawks and Clippers both coming back down to earth.
