2017 NBA Pre-Season

[Paulius]

Lmao

Will this be the year the point god makes it out the 2nd round?

 

[bosoxlover12]

Lol.
 
More like:
 
Steph
 
Russ, Wall, CP3

Westbrook is definitely a tier above Wall and CP3

While overly monotonous:

Tier 1. Curry
Tier 2. Westbrook / Harden (if counting as a PG)
Tier 3. Wall / CP3
Tier 4. Irving / Thomas / Lillard
Tier 5. Conley / Lowry / Kemba
Tier 6. Bledsoe / Dragic / Holiday
Tier 7. Rubio / Hill

and so on, dont feel like doing this for 30+ players

 

[Paulius]

Damn so Jabari will be a RFA. Two ACL tears, wonder what teams will throw at him. Hard to see the Bucks matching a max id assume, idk

Wouldnt be surprised if GarPax maxed him lol. Anything to fill up the seats and make money.

Seem Jabari play twice here at Simeon so i love him but a max would be too wild. 15 Mill id consider it

Also this could be Smarts last year with the Celtics. Could see desperate teams throwing a big bag at him and Ainge not matching

Conley is a tier too low. Lowry would be as well for regular season.
 
But yea I just wanted to go with the two tiers and point out that Curry is in a tier of his own

I mean we don't really have practical cap space for like 10+ years, because by the time Horford and Hayward's deals end Jaylen and Tatum will need their own
 
As of right now I'd be shocked if Boston didn't match a deal, because he'd have to be very overpaid to not be matched. Anything over $16M/yr is too much of an overpay at this time, so if a team is willing to do so then go for it lol

If he keeps up the efficient scoring and hits the ocassional three, he’ll get paid by some desperate team


Itll be like Otto Porter and the Nets situation, except in this scenario, celtics wont bring him back

So cherish this season bro

 

[bosoxlover12]

if marcus can prove he can shoot the ball well enough for teams to throw money at him, then yea you better re-sign him lol. he's a mini-draymond if he can shoot respectably 

 

[elcheato]

Id balk at anything higher than the vet min

 

[Jimmer]

Excited for the Kings

 

[Paulius]

Excited for the Kings

Fox is that dude

[Paulius]

Yea i totally didnt even process that thru when i read it lol


Mini Draymond lol

 

[Mexi]

He definitely has the draymond gene
Just makes winning plays. Right place, right time

smart and the celtics were close to an extension. he'll probably stay. especially if he doesnt have a career year, he has high expectations imo.

i really hope no one maxes parker. his injury concerns may be higher than embiids.

Apparently extension talks fell thru and he’ll be a RFA next summer

 

[bosoxlover12]

I mean of course the extension didnt happen

Smarts value can only go up at worst hes gonna get a contract like Andre Roberson if he doesnt improve at all. But if he can actually shoot his value skyrockets, and Id be shocked if Boston wouldnt offer to him this offseason what they are currently offering him

No reason for Marcus to sell low

 

[elcheato]

Can we stop with the "if he can shoot" or "he can become this if he improves his shot"?

He is the worst shooter for anyone who chucks up a decent volume of 3s. What exactly is he going to improve to? Slightly worse than the 2nd worst?

 

[Paulius]

Im sure they offered him around 15M and hes betting on himself instead

He gone

 

[Jimmer]

Smart has high expectations?dudes a defender that's it. He's had like 4 seasons to fix his Shot

 

[Paulius]

We need more people for pick’em
