2016/17 NBA Regular Season Thread

How is that a random group? I put the best player at each position for both teams? I'm sorry OKC's lack of a supporting cast startled you

you think adding in 3 guys who combine for less than 140 minutes total played for the team isnt random?

No way is Taj better than Kanter
Is Norris Cole even on the OKC roster? EDIT: just signed yesterday
No way do the Thunder play McDermott more than they play Roberson

this is the biggest reach post i've seen from you, possibly ever

What other point guard is on the roster for them? Payne is gone.

Put Kanter in, fine. But I bet he and Taj minutes will be about the same on the thunder. Kanter was only playing like 22-24 pre injury.

Thought I was doing a favor by putting in Doug. Roberson is the biggest offensive liability in the league. But you're right, based on minutes he should be there.

If he could play there, lakers should go for lonzo

Lonzo dlo ingram randle would actually be pretty cool

if they get lonzo dangelo will be traded

 

[Paulius]

if they get lonzo dangelo will be traded

Why tho? Hes a willing passer and Dlo is a scorer . Move clarkson , give dlo some time man u hard af on him

 

[Mexi]

Dlo isn't good and will never be a star
Give him a new start and trade him before his value tanks

 

[Mexi]

Look dangelo has been better lately
If he matures he definitely has some game

In just not sold on him long term is all

Don't think his future is with the Lakers. But if im wrong that's good for the lakers

 

[Paulius]

I still bullieve

 

[bosoxlover12]

you keep on saying this in different ways. "if the celtics get lonzo they have to trade isaiah"
why do you think that ball or fultz can't play with another guard? and why can't isaiah or d'lo play with another guard too?
 
this is a point guard driven league. there is little downside to having multiple players that can handle the ball on the court at once

 

[Mexi]

Never said they had to trade isaiah

I keep telling paulius hes crazy when he says not to give isaiah the max

 

[Mexi]

It could work

Lakers also have other needs so trading dangelo instead of clarkson could be an option
I think dangelo has higher value right now

 

[elcheato]

Lakers gonna be trash forever

 

[Paulius]

2-3 year max makes sense if they bring in another star

 

[Mexi]

Lakers gonna be trash forever

i said a few years ago
This is the dead zone

 

[Mexi]

2-3 year max makes sense if they bring in another star

2-3 year max for a guy having perhaps the best offensive season

If he even comes close to this next year good luck convincing your fans hes only worth 2-3 years of the max

He wont age well

He wont age well

Allen Iverson averaged 26+ppg until he was 32
Thomas is currently 27, with significantly less burn than AI had at his age
 
He could easily maintain his play success throughout his next contract.

Is AI really someone you'd want to build your team around though? I wouldn't although I'm not sure what the alternative is

Youve got a point , yea . We will see in a couple years

You mean the guy who single handedly took his team to the NBA Finals? Averaged 26+ppg for 10 straight years? Yes
 
His career went completely south when he was traded to a Pistons locker room that clearly wanted Chauncey over him, but prior to that he was a star

 

[Paulius]

Yea awful point BNC , AI never had a team around him in those sixers days. He woulda done so much more, dude was a superstar
