By Zeus Ex Machina Go To PostCan you explain this cause I just don't see the correlation between the Heat now and the Lakers.Not now. They are off by 2-3 seasons. Yeah they didn't get swept early 2 seasons ago but they didn't even make the playoffs last season, so it's still on.
Money and Hinkie, while really smart, are just reactionaries throwing shit at the wall hoping it sticks.
Morey takes over the Rockets wren they're saddled with injury prone TMac and Yao and their massive contracts. Decries max contracts in favor of underpriced value a la Moneyball. Markets prize acquisitions Shane Battier, Luis Scola, Carl Landry and Kevin Martin as examples of this. After a few years of ineptitude, ditches the plan and starts offering max contacts to Harden, Dwight, Melo, Bosh and everyone else who will listen. Essentially becoming like every other traditional GM with a license to spend. Offer as much money to superstars as you can hoping they come.
Hinkie drafts a bunch of long limbed athletic players hoping to develop their skills through rigorous tracking of all data, practice performance, and shooting mechanics and percentages and after multiple years of being a revolving door of players will probably start actually drafting and trading for actually talented basketball players

Interesting theory. Thanks
By Gabyskra Go To PostNothing typical about him. Knicks fans are annoying for entirely different reasons.
By db Go To PostIt was probably Blackace.wait what?
Let's back off the hostility and unlock Vahagn's tag too. Let's not forget why we're all on this forum.

Battier wasnt Morey's pick up tho
Scola wasn't really underpriced just unknown because he never played in the NBA
and Kevin Martin had like a 4 year 40 mill contract with the Rockets...
Honestly Morey-ball is just a media created buzzword because he does nothing like money ball
By DY_nasty Go To PostIt was so obvious who did it tbhIf I'm guessing correctly he pretty much said he would.

I knew what we were talking about... but I am more of a tag artist...
besides I have been super chill... letting name change and tag opportunities stroll right by me
The funniest thing is that "LoveTriangle" was actually more brilliant.
Works on so many shit talking levels
1) I love the triangle
2) I love the Lakers and the Knicks
3) I love Phil and Kobe.
I mean, it encapsulated all the shit talking at once and Kado had to act juvenile

Hezonja's weaknesses on DX aren't really scary. Bad shot selection and cocky. Sometimes doesn't try on defense.
All NBA players wax and wane on their defensive effort. And cockiness isn't really a problem on par with "can't shoot"
Why bother with draftexpress's take on a Euro player you can see hours upon hours of action easily available, right as he's playing in the biggest European tournament against NBA talent? Who needs a list of flaws? What is this, the internet circa 1998?
The Cavs have offered Tristan Thompson a five-year deal worth between $75-$80 million, according to Cleveland.comDon't be fucking stupid TT, take the money and run.
This jibes with every other report we've heard on Thompson, and it doesn't appear Cleveland is willing to budge off the $80 million cap when it comes to extending Thompson. With TT's camp still holding out for a max deal, Thompson signing a one-year qualifying offer may be the only result that satisfies all parties. If Thompson does go that route, his agent, Rich Paul, has already said that he will not return to Cleveland. There's not yet word on how that will sit with LeBron.
Who gives a shit how it sits with Lebron? There's no way he leaves a second time, especially after landing Kyrie and Love and having a young core that's in contention every year.
By reilo Go To Post$80 mil LOLYou got into the wrong profession.
By reilo Go To Post$80 mil LOLAnd dude may turn it down and sign a qualifying offer. And leave.
Didn't he turn down that original ~80+ million dollar offer because he was scared shitless of the expectations since he knows he isn't as good as Draymond and other players who got the max?
Is Tristan Thompson even better than Jonas Valanciunas? He think he deserves to make more money than Marc Gasol? Even Reggie Jackson deserves that 80 million more than Tristan Thompson and that's a terrible contract.
Cavs really gonna entertain something close? Either way their team is screwed.

Smart from TT, it's him or nobody and the Cavs can't fuck around next year. He has them by the balls.
Did I tell you brehs about the shooting at my apartment complex? it was scary as shit when it was happening. Basically, someone fired 4 shots about 20 feet from our apartment front door to "scare" someone. This happened about a week ago at 11:30 at night or so.
My gf woke me up and said something like "I think I heard gun shots" followed immediately by 3 more pops. Thankfully, I guess, the shooter shot straight up in the air each time.

By Moris Go To PostPysch scared of WInslow's jumper like he should be now.not even that
from the DX video, he looks like he has zero hops.
By PSYCH! Go To Postnot even that

Bingo
By Dipro Go To PostSmart from TT, it's him or nobody and the Cavs can't fuck around next year. He has them by the balls.No, its nice for Cavs to have him, but he's not a dealbreaker
I'll fine having him for one more year and seeing him GTFO if I'm Cavs
By fertygo Go To PostNo, its nice for Cavs to have him, but he's not a dealbreaker

Agreed. They have Love and Varejao coming back. Of course they're injury-prone, but they still matter. It would have been a very different Finals if Love played.
By Vahagn Go To PostWho gives a shit how it sits with Lebron? There's no way he leaves a second time, especially after landing Kyrie and Love and having a young core that's in contention every year.
why wouldn't he? Not saying he will but it's not unthinkable
By Dipro Go To PostSmart from TT, it's him or nobody and the Cavs can't fuck around next year. He has them by the balls.QO his ass and pick up a superior replacement next year when the cap goes up.
I really doubt Lebron leaves the Cavs over Tristan fucking Thompson, agency or no agency.
Thompson is their 3rd best big man... Mozgov makes 5M, and he's a FA next year. What is Thompson thinking, that another team would offer him more, or that Mozgov would deserve less, next year?
By Vahagn Go To PostBingoOld Wade can get higher up than him. I don't think I've seen a dunk from him that wasn't like a steph curry struggle two hander.
Lebron can go practically where ever he wants from a business standpoint. Fact of the matter is he draws in $$$$.
I bet TT is drinking the Kool-AId after becoming a "LeBron guy". Well Varejao was a "LeBron guy" long before him.
By PSYCH! Go To Postnot even that
from the DX video, he looks like he has zero hops.
His J going from Rondo pre-tourny and Ray Allen during is quite amazing.
Honestly when has Lebron ever been that loyal to a single player?
And we expect him to start with Tristan Thompson?

ehh.. they can't pick up anybody else. their cap is already tied up by Bron, Love and Kyrie. It's Tristan or no one for the forseeable future. Might as well pay him the max.
