Around the NBA - April 2017

So when Memphis blows it up this offseason, should we go after anyone on their roster?

Not really.

 

[MickZagger]

Not really.

Jamychal Green and Tony Allen are nice.

See at the end their camping? You can see a tent in the distance. The first three times, they are parked in the middle of nowhere having sex.

No, they had sex in 3 cars, and got an extra kid in the scene after, while getting a bigger car. Then the last scene, they make you think they're having sex again, but the car is full of kids making the car move.

Alright I can see how you took it that way. Good point, you are probably right.

Chandler Parsons

Chandler Parsons

Would you trade crabbe, and Leonard for him?

Pukes in mouth*

 

[MickZagger]

Fizdale went off on the refs after the game. Honestly, can't say I blame him. I'm not even a Memphis fan, but that was about as one-sided officiating as I've seen. Kwahi had more FT's himself than the entire Memphis roster combined. It killed their momentum.

He's going to get fined pretty hefty. Haven't seen a coach go off like that in awhile.

How's that for data!

Memphis is hot garbage. They need to blow it up. Trade Conley and Gasol. Go young.

I wouldn't trade my lunch for Parsons.

[Strenuus]

I love it. Love it.

 

[e_blazer]

Well, that's going to make for a lighter paycheck for him.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Gotta appreciate the guy for standing up for his team. Maybe it'll make the National Basketball Agenda take notice... he'll get fined but I'm sure he knew that going into the interview.

 

[julius]

Im glad he did it, even if it doesn't end up changing their series. Someone has to call the NBA out on it's obvious bias towards certain teams and players.

 

[PDXFonz]

Memphis is hot garbage. They need to blow it up. Trade Conley and Gasol. Go young.

But they are still stuck with Parsons. CJ was right...

 

[Chris Craig]

Good, I hope other coaches start calling them out. The Grizzlies got screwed tonight. I'm tired of refs controlling the outcomes of games, calling one sided games, blatantly. I'm Glad Fizdale called them out, the fine is worth it.

Needs to happen more often

 

[H.C.]

At least he didn't pull a Dennis Green.

That was great from Fizdale. The NBA should be lambasted for their shady, unprofessional manner in conducting games.
It's because of shady marketing/reffing shite like this the NBA has been on a downward slope for a long time now.

Quite frankly I'm surprised more coaches don't call out the bullshit that so blatantly occurs on the court.

Fizdale just earned himself a new fan. . .

 

[BBert]

That was epic.

There should be a go fund me to pay his fine.

Been thinking, how great is Celtics outlook for the near future? They have two great backcourt players locked down on favorable contracts, IT will need to be extended next year but they don't have to worry about it now. They have two Brooklyn picks which will be top 3 in the next couple of years, the one this year is probably one of the most prized assets in the market and they don't even need to use it - and if they do use it on Fultz or Ball, then they will probably be looking to trade Thomas whose value will be very high as well.

They will be looking to trade the Brooklyn pick this year for Paul George or Jimmy Butler. George would be a better fit, Butler is a great defender but they already can defend on the perimeter and have one of the best ones around in Bradley. George is also a good defender and a more versatile scorer than Butler (also better from the range). If they offered Indiana the #1 or #2 pick, I think Indiana will take it. They will be looking to rebuild with Fultz or Ball and Myles Turner, and they know George won't stay beyond 2018 anyway. Then they need another big man. Rumours are that they want Porzingis who looks like he might be on his way out from New York. Porzingis + Horford looks like great frontcourt but still lacks rebounding, Horford is not a great rebounder for a center so perhaps it'd even be wiser to move him to 4 and get a center, but then again Porzingis can be a good rebounder so that could compensate. They could offer Knicks a lot too, they have some good young talent like Smart and Brown, and they will have another Brooklyn pick anyway even if they trade the one from this year for George.

They also want to pursue Griffin in free agency.

Thomas/Bradley/George/Porzingis/Horford looks like a potential championship winning line up.

Thomas/Bradley/George/Griffin/Horford looks amazing as well.

They'll be challenging Cavaliers in the East in 1-2 years for sure.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

Maybe he'll accept a trade to Portland now if he cares about making the playoffs?!?

Wait. Crap. I gave you a like not knowing who you are talking about, its George right? Cause if its Melo I am going to have to rescind my like.

I turned it off once I realized he was going to attempt some sort of freestyle.

This is what Kingspeed and/or HCP should do. We need our celebrities representing!

 

[KingSpeed]

Love it!

 

[PDXFonz]

Cmon that shit is weak.

DJ only catches lobs but Chris Paul thinks he nailed it, Rudy goes down but the Jazz prevailed it. Something's going on, the Clippers need to blow up, game 1 of the playoffs and they don't even show up.

 

[KingSpeed]

Antetokounmpo is awesome.

 

[PDXFonz]

The East-West talent discrepancy really is BS and I'd expect them to address it at some point.

The idea of league wide playoff seeding 1-16 would be interesting.
