Yay NBA 2016-17 season!


The Poojer

Recommended Posts

I understand like less than 5% of all NBA trades. I have no idea who is good, bad, and why the moves are made for salary or picks. Seems like sometimes draft picks are considered to be gold and other times not. Then guys like Brendan Haywood are considered huge trade assets because of their salary, even though he is terrible. Just don't get it.

It looks like Deng and Mozgov were huge FA mistakes for he lakers and probably led to Mitch getting canned

 

The ghost of what used to be Luo Deng is running around out there doing nothing and Mozgov is on the end of the bench getting NO playing time....huge contracts went to those 2 players

 

Meanwhile.....the lakers continue to tank while they find young players that with experience might be good

anyone wanting to discuss a better sport, the daytona is starting up

 

thread here

Racing and Golf aren't sports. Enjoy the circles

Cuse is -10 today against the birds. That spread is wacked. Look out for a whooping. To much easy money will be riding on Cuse after that big win against Duke.

Cuse was minus 10 ? I hope you housed Louisville, they aren't bad

So many terrible players are given big money deals, that swapping out a terrible player with a 3 year deal for a terrible player with 1 year left is actually worth a lot, trade value wise. All about creating cap. That's why the NBA with its 15 man roster per team has just as many big dead money bad players as the entire NFL with 53 man rosters.

 

Conversely, picks are worth much less, or at least valued much less for the most part. A team like GS or the Cavs will probably not be lottery teams for 5 years, making their first rounders next to useless compared to a team like the 76ers or the Magic. Basically, the top 10 picks in the NBA are treated like the entire first round in the NFL.

KD out at least a month with a knee. Not that i think GS skips a beat but still tough. Still pissed about this whole Bogut thing with Philly....they let him go for nothing, all the while he has SA, Cleveland and others vocally interested in him...and oh by the way Jahlil is out for a little bit....i just don't get it.

Bummed about the Ben Simmons injury.

 

Simmons/Saric/Embiid was gonna be fun.

 

Time for Justin Anderson to step up and kick some butt.

What was the connection between Simmons/Saric/Embiid and Justin Anderson back in October? I decided to read this thread from the beginning and am confused by this.

 

Anyhow, Dario for MVP.

Wow how random. Well I'm a Mavs fan who was enthused with Justin Anderson that day.

 

Never knew he was gonna get traded to the Sixers, but I'm happy to have Nerlens going forward.

LaVar Ball tells @latbbolch that his new sports agency, Ball Sports Group, will only represent his three sons.
