Momma There Goes That Man Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 It's crazy, but right now Kevin Durant is the single most important player in the NBA right now. Whoever he signs with, if it's between OKC, GS, and SAS, becomes strong title favorites. Well those 3 along with the Cavs are really the only 4 serious title contenders anyway. Signing with GS takes them to an insane level and cripples OKC. The Spurs...would have to shop off Aldridge so it's hard to say how much better he would make them even if he is obviously a much better player than Aldridge. Their team is a little odd right now. Signing with OKC keeps the status quo and everybody runs it back next year, GS likely without Barnes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I chose the wrong line of work I imagine that's what NFL players are thinking while reading this. Andrew Luck got 87 million guaranteed, compare that to these NBA contracts that are fully guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticVillain Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 GS likely without Barnes This line made me think about something somebody in here posted within the last year about how the Warriors could become a dynasty. I think even though they lost the Finals this year, they are still a dangerous team and that L could make them that more dangerous. They played pretty bad in the Finals and it still went seven. I don't know what they're going to add this off-season, could be KD, Pau, etc... but it's going to be that more interesting watching how they recover from this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predicto Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Gasol would be a nice Bogut replacement. They'd lose some rim protection on defense but man he would fit that offense nice with his passing ability and offensive game dwarfs Boguts. Thought they would make a push at him if they lost out on Durant but they might not have a chance Golden State needs to wait until Durant decides (even though they are unlikely to land him). If they don't get Durant the obvious target is Al Horford, but it may be too late to make a run at him by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'd be great for them, but not what I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Al Jefferson's deal is shockingly reasonable. WTF? Indy has built a nice team. I think they might get the 2 seed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont Taze Me Bro Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Al Jefferson's deal is shockingly reasonable. WTF? Indy has built a nice team. I think they might get the 2 seed. I'm pissed about that. We could definitely afford to resign him. Only thing I can think of is the drug suspension that forced him out. Now we pretty much have the worst center in basketball in Zeller, Hawes and the summer league guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Harris Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Two years, huh? Yes, because the prefect solution for a kid that keeps skipping school is to give him out of school suspension. LMFAO OJ Mayo is 28 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilMonkeyBoy Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Wade has nothing left to prove in Miami, if he really wants to cash in I'm all for it. I'd love to see him end up on the Bucks or Nuggets, if only because it's becoming really entertaining to watch Cuban strike out every year.

So the Rockets rolled out the HoFers and Harden but Bazemore turned down more money to stay in Atlanta? What the hell is going on in Houston?

Momma There Goes That Man Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) This is how I break it down. Dwayne Wade and Gabriel Union are not living in Milwaukee. Scratch them off the list. lol nice try bucks. Denver is the middle of nowhere. Nobody wants to be that cut off from society in a flyover state. Even though it's his hometown and a big market, I'd scratch Chicago off the list too. Those winters are rough. Wade loves the warm weather. Only thing that might push this is being closer to his boy in Cleveland Dallas has to be the front runner. Decent weather most of the year, large market, competitive team, great owner and facilities etc. And finally, he returns to the heat in the end after they up their offer a few million more. Maybe get to 15-16. So the Rockets rolled out the HoFers and Harden but Bazemore turned down more money to stay in Atlanta? What the hell is going on in Houston? Two years ago they were the hot front office working miracles.Coach being thrown under the bus, Harden and Dwight mess from last year...they seem kinda toxic right now as a franchise Edited July 2, 2016 by Momma There Goes That Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) Wade situation feels more about money then anything else, even rings. He should just go to the Knicks to help their run for the 2012 NBA championship. It's the perfect setup for when LeBron eventually gets bored with Cleveland.
