2011 NBA Offseason Discussion Thread

Lol at you calling West a role player.

He's certainly not a star.

Lol at you calling West a role player.

What should I call him? A starter in the NBA? Thats a role player.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

He's certainly not a star.

Lol but he isn't a role player either.

I don't know what I'd call him, but a role player is someone who is just a compliment to the teams best player, and West certainly isn't that. Ariza is that, Okafor is that, Belinelli is that, not West.

This is a bit over the top lmao. But everyone hates the governor here so he's definitley trying to get on the good side of some people.

He's not a role player on your team, but he is on good teams

Can't wait for the draft. Kemba just worked out in Sacramento. Jimmer will be working out in Phoenix.

 

[bestkeptsecret13]

Gimme Charles Jenkins and JaJuan Johnson in the draft, plus either a trade for O.J. Mayo or a signing of J.R. Smith and I'll be happy.

 

[DJT]

Lucas Nogueira, a skinny 7-footer playing in Spain, said he is seriously considering withdrawing from the draft as the Monday deadline approaches.
Most clubs feel that would be the right move – “I don’t know why they put him in the draft in the first place,” one scout said. Even if Nogueira stays in and gets the guaranteed money of a first-round pick, a possibility for a team picking near the end but wanting to avoid taking on a contract now, it is a near-certainty that he plays overseas at least one more season and possibly two.

News from Eurocamp. Dang I was really hoping this guy would stay in. I can see him being kinda like a Ibaka type player.

Guys I just bought Bill Simmons Book of Basketball to further my knowledge in the sport known as basketball. Any tips, ideas, comments, or critiques?

 

[DJT]

Never read it, lemme know if its good.

 

[bestkeptsecret13]

My friend read it and now thinks he knows everything about basketball.

 

[buzzy]

have it since christmas actually, never got around to read it. I'll probably do in the summer ..

it's funny though that you ask for information after you bought it.

 

[The Young One]

It's a good book...he has his bias moments of slurping celtics though.

I knew it was good, I just wanted to know what YOU guys thought about it. I enjoy Bill Simmons' podcast so I knew it would translate to the book. He is also pretty funny as well.

He's the exact same Bosh is. A very good not great PF.

 

[Elite]

Bosh is a better player, easily

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Maybe, saying easily is false though. But hey go Heat man. Go Heat.

 

[lonesomefx]

man I love the off-season. everybody's homer goggles return i guess it's my turn. Amar'e is the best PF in the league and Melo is the best player in the league. Chauncey is arguably a top 5 point guard in the league.
