CFlan Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Season staring on Dec 22nd. Also this had the potential to have the most punchable backcourt since Mark Jackson/Reggie Miller. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 There any reason in particular to be shite, someone big in college/overseas or are we doing that thing where we're shite a few years before it'd be beneficial to be awful, and then make the 8 seed when a God is in the amateurs?

Pandamninator Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Draft this year is pretty trash so you picked a good year to avoid using your lottery luck. Might want to freeze the envelopes for next year though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFlan Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Aye, no one can seem to agree on who the best players are in the draft this year so we’re in a good spot at 8. Next year is stacked by all accounts. Luckily we’ll be no where near the 8th seed either Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I remember watching his first game as he was being billed as the number #1. The two draft express guys on Zach Lowe’s pod were saying that Lamelo was the best player which is wildly different from a few others I listened too.

Wiseman did look like a made for 2020 Dwight Howard in the little bits we saw of him, but it's always hard to gauge when you've got a stud prospect lined up against a bunch of accounting majors from Whodafuckareyou State in November. I watched LaMelo a couple of times in person for a laugh during the NBL season - was really not convinced. The entire gameplan was built around him touching the ball as much as he wanted and he was inefficient as hell putting up his stats. Illawarra also finished dead last, a position they occupied even before he quit halfway through the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFlan Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Presti getting out from under the Russ and Paul contracts in the space of a season is some impressive GM’ing and that’s before you look at the picks he got. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Yeah, they have an incredible haul of picks. It was a great trade for both parties. OKC can now build around SGA, and still have some players they can either keep or flip still as there would be interest in the likes of Rubio, Oubre and Adams. They can sign and trade Gallinari too I believe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFlan Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Bucks gave up a lot for Jrue but they haven’t much choice with Giannis a FA next year. Bogdanovic is a nice player, I watched a lot of the Kings and he always stood out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Rookie question - is there a really straightforward guide to how trades and salary caps work in the NBA? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFlan Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Haven’t a clue myself Basically you need the salary going out in the trade to match the salary coming in. The cap stops you signing free agents that would push your salary above it but doesn’t really affect your trades. Loads of teams are over the salary cap and they just pay a luxury tax as a consequence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Getting Holiday and Bogdanovic is fantastic for Giannis really. Chuffed for him. Big upgrades at the guard positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 This Harden to the Nets talk is so crazy to me. No chance a Harden, Kyrie and Durant trio works, surely?! Harden and Kyrie don't defend for starters and there's only one ball to go around for goodness sake. Don't like the move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Blazers with a really nice pickup in Covington. Love that move for them. Sent Ariza and 2 first rounders over to Houston. Jordan wants Westbrook at the Hornets. Think that would be a decent move. They're a young, scrappy team that had a decent season last year. Westbrook can be the main man there and have a decent young supporting cast. Think that's the best he can hope for going forward. He doesn't gel well with other top players IMO. A bit like Iverson back in the day, just surround him with complementary, hard nosed defensive minded players that can hit some shots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
