Around the NBA- February 2018

Can you set it up where whatever notes you seem to be looking at are more in line with the camera? Bugs me for some reason.

You're good at speaking without stumbling. I'd be like the cavs uh uh traded for uh some guy uhhhh

Normally I don't look at notes while recording but I didn't have a ton of time and I record with my phone so I did this without editing stuff out.

Thanks man! It's fun and I'm hoping it at least builds speaking skills I can use later in life.

Lakers kind of have chance at playoffs.

Lol. Just like the Magic did?

 

[handiman]

I thought Cavs were clear winners in the Irving trade...

Really? A couple role players (and a pick of TBD value) for one of the best point guards in the league...not even close, on paper or in reality.

Whitsitt was all about chasing big names and making a splash. He was much more likely to sign a big name has been than a no name never was

Nonsense. Some, but not most. Especially as Sonic GM, he made surprising finds.

Man...... I really wish we would have gotten Mirotic.

21 points, 16 boards, 5 blocks, 2 steals tonight................ fuck man.

We stay on "internal Development"

They are a good team. Them and Kings are good. Warriors trash.

 

[DDolla]

I can hear Bill Walton on Wednesday when he see Nurk try to finger roll that ball to the basket.... “Throw it down Big Guy”

 

[Lukee]

Let's go Bron, smash Celtics!

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

George Hill and Jordan Clarkson are gonna be really good players for the Cavs

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Cedi Osman looks good, maybe a Wally Szczerbiak type.

But we need wings, Only WINGS will make us better.

Pretend that’s all Green font for anyone who has a problem identifying sarcasm.

I like Zach Collins a lot but I would have sent him and other pieces for Blake Griffin if I could. And that's coming from someone who isn't even a big fan of Blake but he'd make our team so much more deadly with the 3 guys we already have.

There's a saying in the NBA, if you can get a star without giving up one, do it.

Yeah I wanted him too, but I also agree that giving up our pick was not a good idea.

 

[LayneStaley]

I wish JVG was our color guy.

I suspect that this will be a post that gets bumped three years from now.

I loved the idea of blake Griffin until I remembered just how injury prone he is and the fact he is signed for 4 more seasons after this at 132m, 31m, 34m, 37m, 39m is his cap hit. Blake doesnt' make our team better then Houston/GSW this year and if you think we are fucked capwise now we would be worse with Griffin whos body already shows signs of breaking down. Griffins contract could easily turn into Roys but much much worse and without the medical retirement break.

Hopefully not because Zach Collins is playing for the Canton Charge and Blake Griffin is going to ECFs lol

Griffin has played in 219 games of a possibly 376, 160 games missed or he has played in 58.5% of games the last 5 years. If he does make it to the ECF statistically he will only be able to play in 4 of the 7 games if it goes to 7.

Watch what Rodney Hood does for the Cavs now that he’s in his correct role. Lower usage rate and higher efficiency. I like the moves the Cavs made, no drastic game changers but a lot of solid pieces.

Hill could be a drastic game changer against guys like Curry and Irving in the playoffs defensively.

If Blake’s going to the ECF in three years, it’s going to be either as a color commentator or a ticket buyer.

I wouldn't be so sure, the Pistons are a good guard away from being ECF contenders imo.

Maybe Kennard ends up being that guy.

If he plays like 2016 George Hill, you’re right. He was just so bad in Sacramento he has to prove it to me.

I mean, it's Sacramento... wasn't a good fit bottom line

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Poor Osman lol

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I wish we could've landed Clarkson or Hood :/

In three years though, they’ll be a good PF away from being an ECF contender.

I hate Boston fans.
