2018 OFF-SEASON DISCUSSION THREAD

bowen fired by lac for ripping kawhi lol

they gotta do that to appease their 2019 FA acquisition

 

[Mexi]

Nah, they're a young up and coming team but they were completely awful last year. They have a ways to go for people to be high on them. But the young core is there. It'll be interesting to see how much of a step or leap forward they can do this year. I expect a leap with their new coach.

I don't

I just find it hilarious how many people act like losing ariza is that big of a problem

You'd think they would then love Phoenix since he went there

wonder who they'll hire to replace him

Corey Maggette does pre/post sometimes

Oh gotcha. Well Ariza was one of Houstons best defenders. So thats a pretty big loss.

This is some really stupid logic, mexi

You’re better than this

 

[Paulius]

So Melo didnt wanna come off the bench in okc but now since houston the only team who wanted him, he’ll come off the bench smh

Straight bum

Not sure if he agreed to this but prolly did before signing with them

Yup, said that a few weeks ago

He has a season under his belt playing this way. This season he will definitely be better than last

Defensively? Still a disaster
But shooting wise? He’ll have a way better season

So mexi i better not hear you coming at me about this melo signing midseason

Everything ive predicted so far has been on point from the beginning of his okc run, and im predicting that he will be better than he was in okc

Plus bc of chris paul being in his ear. Best friend vs Westbrook is completely different

 

[Paulius]

The only problem that i see happening with him coming off the bench is a similar one okc had when they tried to take him out early in the 1st and then bring him out with the second unit to start the 2nd


He shot every. Single. Time. Lol
Demanded the ball on the block everything single time and stopped the ball movement bc he felt like hes better thn any of the back ups and second units on the court

He needs to shoot and shoot to find a rhythm, thats the problem. And since he wont get many opportunities due to coming off the bench, he’ll just keep shooting

Yall will see

 

[Paulius]

I did not know duke got RJ Barrett too lmao

RIP NCAA

[Paulius]

Heard it here first

How would they get there?? 

 

[Paulius]

I meant to say one or the other

Most likely James tho

Morey might dump ryno on the heat for a future

 

[Paulius]

Heat wanna open up as much as cap for 2019 FA as possible

Taking on useless ryan and a pick would be smart of them

And rockets wanna get rid of ryno. Adding a guy like James who has 2 years on the contract and fits their need at a 3/4 would also be smart

 

[DJT]

Is Ryno an expiring? Would be great for them if they can get James. He's a hard nosed player, that they need.

 

[Paulius]

Holy shit i jus checked

Lmao

Hes not even an expiring

What the fuck man, nvm then

Yo morey really dropped the soap with that contract. Thought he’d be expiring by now

 

[Paulius]

Man i had it all planned out as the answer why Melo wont be starting

Cp3 Harden James Tucker Capela

Thatd be nice overall

But now

I just dont see how melo doesnt start? Pennis gonna start over him? I cant see that. Ryan at the 4 and tucker at the 3? Cant see it

Melo is gonna start
