2016/17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[elcheato]

The Warriors definitely get worse from that

 

[Paulius]

Warriors need rebounding and rim protection not bradley n crowder. This wouldnt make sense , must be a lame ass rumor

 

[buzzy]

You stopped reading before you got to Nerlens Noel

 

[Paulius]

Youre right buzzy

 

[Paulius]

Klay on the celtics would be so dope tho

 

[Mexi]

How does gsw get worse??
They get a 3 and D guy and depth in Crowder

Klay is a luxury

I'm really not sure about that
 
Bradley 2016-17:
7.3/15.6 (47.1%) FG, 2.3/5.7 (41.2%) 3PT, 3.9 AST, 8.1 REB, 18.4 PTS
 
Klay 2016-17:
7.5/16.4 (45.7%) FG, 2.3/7.2 (31.9%) 3PT, 2.5 AST, 2.9 REB, 18.8 PTS
 
Klay 2015-16:
8.1/17.3 (47%) FG, 3.5/8.1 (42.5%) 3PT, 2.1 AST, 3.8 REB, 22.1 PTS
 
Klay is definitely a better player than Bradley, and 1-for-1 it makes no sense to do that trade. But Avery is a hell of a replacement when you add Crowder and Nerlens as well. Move Zaza to that 2nd unit of Livy, Iggy, Crowder, and West and you have fucking great depth with minimal loss at SG. Bradley's numbers I would actually presume to go upwards if traded to GS, knowing he's getting a ton more attention in Boston than he would with Steph and KD alongside.

 

[Paulius]

If warriors can get noel with that deal , then fuck yea , but if its just crowder and bradley , im not too sure

 

[bosoxlover12]

Crowder is good depth for GSW, but he's more of a throw in value than anything. Warriors def dont do that deal without getting back Nerlens or a comparable big -- if they were even going to do it in the first place. At right now its as much of a rumor as anything else proposed to Celtics fans

 

[elcheato]

Do people not realize that Nerlens Noel is just kinda alright?

Trading a star of Klay's caliber for a crew of role players is not a good idea. I suppose it could make sense if he was a star offensively with short comings defensively, but that is not the case.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Dumb trade for golden state

it's not nerlens straight up though

 

[elcheato]

Hence why I said "crew" of role players

 

[Paulius]

Dont get cheato mad

 

[tyfreak]

Kings still suck 

 

[buzzy]

Water is still wet

 

[tyfreak]

That 2017 would flip to Philly for Noel
 
I'm telling myself this isn't going to happen so I don't get my hopes up, but IMO all three teams get better here. Bradley's off-ball shooting is significantly improved, and you add Jae Crowder to that 2nd unit? And Nerlens is a great fit with Dray too
 
 
But its not gonna happen.

Noel, Bradley and Crowder? That's a pretty nice grab. I know they don't want to toy with chemistry, but that would be something they should consider if the rumor is legit. 

 

[buzzy]

Their ceiling with Klay is just so much higher imo. 
If they want stability and depth but lose a player that can single-handedly win you games, go for it.

 

[Paulius]

They also have curry and kd who single handedly can win them games. Depth / rebounding / rim protection is way important now when theres curry and kd on the team

 

[tyfreak]

I can see that stance, and I'm sure the Warriors feel that way but Bradley and Crowder are both good contributors, Bradley shows flashes of his scoring potential. Noel could be huge for them up front
