2016/17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Rios15]

Philly, and maybe if Nola can find ways to dump some salary that's a possibility as well.

He's going to demand a 200 mil dollar contract, and I don't know if Masai will pull the trigger.

200 million? Is that how much we can offer him? Jeez. I don't think any other team is giving him close to that tbh but it is the NBA I guess

200mill for a regular season player?

Fucking nuts man

 

[Rios15]

I could see him going to Philly but I somewhat doubt him leaving unless it goes wrong in the playoffs. I mean that I think he has every intention to come back but I think it'll be more so in Toronto's hands and if they think he's worth going into luxury tax for. And that depends on how much this team proves it's worth it

LeBron has a long shot with the injuries to Love and JR, but it's Harden's to lose

LeBron has no shot

I think last season was a big success even though we limped to the ECF. In terms of Raptors franchise history. I'd be happy to see us return at least to the 2nd round. people can't forget we used to get kicked out in the first round or miss the playoffs every year. Masai has given us the best team we've ever seen lol

They're better without Lowry. Confirmed.

i made this a few days ago -- these are the max deals available for teams this offseason

For Toronto, Lowry falls in the 7-9 yr 7.5% category. For other teams, it's the 4.5% category for Lowry. nobody is getting $200M but it's still a fuckton of money

Lowry would've fucked it up

This is Lowry's 11th season in the league so it would be roughly $200M for the Raptors to re-sign him

LeBron is probably the most deserving mvp candidate. Cleveland isn't even a playoff team without him.

If they started from the beginning of the year without him , and had the system around kyrie and love with a differnt game plan , i think they would be

When he doesnt play midseason and they get smacked its different vs if they didnt have him at all

LaVar Ball: "Lonzo will make D'Angelo the ultimate scorer as a two guard. He'll make Ingram a nice slasher. He'll make Randle want to run the court."

[Medina] #LakersAllAccess: Luke Walton said Lou Williams told Lakers assistants that D'Antoni's staff they got on him that not every attempt was a 3

What the fuck

True. Yeah I wouldnt give Lowry even close to that max not even anything like DeRoxans contract. He's good but he's getting older too and we could potentially be better off looking elsewhere for less money. I would like him back though for the record... He's shown he wants to be here and his last contract wasnt bad. Wouldn't mind giving him a lot on less years but nothing like a 5 year max. It's going to be interesting to see how Ujiri handles it.

no idea what this is supposed to mean

 

[Pugz]

i think philly is the only option for lowry outside of toronto, but i think he stays

 

[Pugz]

i dont think "they" was supposed to be there. so the staff got on him for not making every shot a three point attempt
