Around the NBA: Feb. 2017

With Lebron pressuring the Cavs to acquire Carmelo Anthony, do they do this trade? I think they might trade Love for Anthony if they can upgrade their backup PG and C spots.

PG Irving / Jennings
SG Smith / Korver
SF James / Jefferson
PF Anthony / Frye
C Thompson / O'Quinn

I think that rumor was click bait trash. No way the Cavs are pushing to trade Love right now the way he's playing. If it was last year then that would've made sense. But not now.

Infuckingsane shot!

How many people think he meant to bank that shot? #notbuyingit

Yeah, but if it's true that could be a good trade for both teams. Love and Porzingas would be a great front-court for the Knicks going forward. They'd need to try to get rid of Lee's and Shumperts contracts, but they'd have a good deal of cap space to go for players that they think could help them (Holiday, Evans, Teague, etc.)

Cavs have no business trading that much for Anthony though. If anyone gets Anthony it'll be Clippers who are deluded and think they could be contenders with him.

Oakley looks like he could still kick some serious ass.

Can we sign him to a 10 day?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Crazy!

Between Melo and this situation, some shit is going down within that organization

The Knicks and Bulls have both been highly entertaining organizations this year. Talk about implosions. And with Melo and Wade at the center of them, mixed in with a little Phil Jackson and Charles Oakley? LMAO.

Kyle Korver gets so many open looks in CLE. His 29 points tonight is the most he's scored in a game since February 21, 2007.

That's what happens when you add one of the 10 best shooters of all time to a team that already features LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love. He's going to be huge for them in the playoffs.

BNM

Meanwhile Neil Olshey isn't doing shit. Thanks Neil

I'm really not understanding why this got likes. We NEVER hear about Neil's moves until they happen.

 

[dviss1]

Well last I heard we weren't gonna go after Noel which was a huge fucking mistake. By the looks up it we don't plan on doing shit. Fucking organization is pathetic

Then BOUNCE BIAAATCH!

 

[dviss1]

He's the greatest player of this generation and it's not even close. Those Laker fans who think Kobe was better are sniffing glue.

Kobe came way before Lebron. Kobe played against Jordan.

Kobe came way before Lebron. Kobe played against Jordan.

Jordan was drafted 12 years before Kobe. Kobe was drafted just 7 years before Lebron.
Kobe and Jordan played simultaneously for 4 years (2 of those being the "Jordan on the Wizards" years that don't really count). Kobe and Lebron played simultaneously for 13 years.
Kobe and Jordan played head to head 8 times. Kobe and Lebron played head to head 22 times.
Kobe is easily more Lebron's generation than Jordan's.

Sucks man. Damn

 

[Cippy91]

Then BOUNCE BIAAATCH!

nah im good

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Sucks man. Damn

Damn that really blows, luckily for him his game isn't really reliant on extreme athleticism.

I just saw the news as well. That really sucks for them. Jabari was having a very nice season.

I think you just made my point for me. It was Kobe's generation before it was LeBron's. LeBron came during the Kobe era. As much hate as we want to give Kobe Bryant, he's still was the best player on the best team for a long time. If we really want to get down to it, it probably was the Tim Duncan era.

 

[dviss1]

nah im good

But you're not though. You just called the organization pathetic. Well we don't need fans like you saying bullshit like that. If it's so pathetic, why do you continue to root for them? Quit while you're behind...

OK--I assumed that since your comment about Kobe playing against Jordan was in response to the post that said "He's the greatest player of this generation and it's not even close. Those Laker fans who think Kobe was better are sniffing glue," you were saying that it was fallacious to consider Kobe and Lebron being in the same generation.

Even if it was "Kobe's" generation first, or Duncan's, Lebron is still the best player of that generation. The fact that Kobe came first doesn't change that.
