2013 NBA Off-Season/Free Agency

[jonathanlambert33]

Paul George isn't the elite offensive player people make him out to be. He's a poor shooter, can't create off the dribble, etc. his defense though, is elite. I'm not sure if there is another "star" in this league that's goods are so good, but there bads are so bad.

 

[Pugz]

hes just getting a ton of hype because he boosted his ppg by so much within a year. hes a star but not a superstar and probably won't ever be that.

 

[Mexi]

He averaged like 16 last year lol

 

[Mexi]

He'll be like iggy where people expect him to get great, but he peaks and we just accept who he is (I think he'll be better)

Iggy has had a strange career. Look at his numbers

 

[Pugz]

It seems like iggy would be so much better than he is scoring wise but hes just not that guy. really hes a more athletic tayshaun prince

 

[buzzy]

I can see PG having a bigger upside offensively than Iggy

 

[jonathanlambert33]

That's the funny thing with Paul George. He was talked up so much last year that I thought he was a 20+ ppg guy, but he was only a 17 ppg guy.

 

[Mexi]

anyone else concerned at the Thunder's lack of bench?
they have no bench
 
shows the advantage of a superstar in the NBA. OKC's roster minus KD/Russ is pretty shitty. worse than Charlotte

 

[RipCity32]

They don't have anything outside of Westbrook, Durant, and Ibaka really lol. Harden deal was so awful.

 

[Pugz]

was awful because they dont play the guys they got. they would have a decent bench if they played their bench.

speaking of which who do you guys have winning the west?

 

[RipCity32]

West is wide open. Clippers maybe?

 

[Pugz]

im leaning towards clippers too. just seems pretty stacked but not with overly strong talent, just a lot of good teams.

 

[RipCity32]

Forgot they have Rivers too now. So definitely Clippers for me.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Yeah the Thunder literally have no bench. Maybe Lamb steps up and contributes, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Adams is too raw and will see no playing time. Perry Jones isn't someone that's going to contribute. Nick Collison is the kind of guy coaches like to bring off the bench, and I like Reggie Jackson but he won't get many minutes behind Westbrook.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I think the Thunder, Clippers, Spurs, and Grizz will top the West. Not sure who's better.

 

[Mexi]

I wish the rockets had patrick patterson on this team. He'd be perfect

 

[Mexi]

The former usc bball playet who has matt leinart's kid has blake griffin's kid
Lmao

 

[jonathanlambert33]

She's kind of hot too.

 

[Mexi]

Blake is only 24, he could get some better looking younger girls

 

[Pugz]

who is she? sounds like a good ole gold digger
