2016/17 NBA Regular Season Thread

I don't think Rondo can just decide he's uncut

 

[Hurricane Season]

He already agreed to it when he signed the contract.  The only way he comes back to Chicago next season is if both parties opt in.

 

[buzzy]

Right. I read that as "mutual opt out" instead of mutual option. Makes sense. 
 
Who the fuck is gonna pay him anything?
 
 
And apparently Wade had an elbow injury and "heard something pop". As much as he'd like to leave that team I think he'll go the safe route that is worth 23 million

 

[Hurricane Season]

Are mutual options a common thing?
 
I had never heard of it in the NBA before Rondo.

 

[Pugz]

i havent heard of them. we've all heard of the partial guarantee but his contract doesnt sound like that.

 

[elcheato]

Because mutual options are useless. The player will think he's worth more or the team will think he's worth less.

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

Dwyane Wade is out for the rest of the season.

 

[Hurricane Season]

[Mexi]

[elcheato]

I mean with 20 minute halves and a 30 second shot clock, its simply harder to score a lot of points. If you scale the scoring of the UNCW / Virginia game to 48 minutes and to if possessions were 24 seconds not 30, it turns into a 114-107 game. That's why its low scoring -- doesn't mean its not competitive
 
It's elimination basketball. Why would you rather watch a meaningless Lakers / Rockets game that has no impact on anything for the year over an elimination basketball game where both teams give their 100% because if they lose, their season is done?

 

[elcheato]

Klay is an epsilon

 

[elcheato]

College basketball is definitely trash, idk if that's cause OSU sucks now. But it is boring, especially teams like Virginia and Wisconsin
