Around the NBA - the 2020 Playoff Edition!

West gets the top 2 of course. Why does the east even exist

 

[Dom McBlazer]

Well.............at least the Warriors didn't get #1.

 

[DDolla]

LaMelo to the Wolves... the West keep getting tougher

I think it will be Edwards.

Waiting for the Wiggins and #2 for CJ discussion!

That would be gross. Im all for trying to trade CJ, but not for a very overrated Wiggins and a young player where there is no real superstar in the draft this year. We need to get Dame a proven player/star not a rookie.

What would the Warriors do with CJ?

Play him at SG? I don't think either team would do that deal, I just figured someone would propose it.

And do what with Klay Thompson?

 

[Tince]

And do what with Klay Thompson?

He's bigger and taller the GTJ who we've been playing at SF a lot. Klay could certainly defend most 3's in the league.

 

[Road Ratt]

Go Jazz. Hand Jock-itch another loss!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

In the Jazz-Denver series, I have a feeling we're the Nuggets and the Lakers are the Jazz.

If they wanted CJ they could've just kept D'Angelo Russell.

Nobody wants Cj that’s why Olshey can’t trade him

 

[DDolla]

OMG Denver doing what the Blazers did last night.

I think there is a market out there for CJ. I really do. There aren't many players in the league that can score all of the ways CJ can. CJ has also shown that he can pass well when he views that as part of his role. He is a bad defender but could be put in a much better situation if he wasn't always guarding guys bigger than him and if he was surrounded by better defenders. The thing about Olshey is, I don't know if he's even willing to gauge CJ's trade value. On several occasions Olshey has unbelievably called CJ McCollum untouchable... it's beyond me but those have been Olshey's words. When the season is over I'll get more into the teams that might want CJ, the guys we might be able to get for CJ and if it would all be worth it. For now, CJ is who we are rolling with at the 2 and I'm pulling for him to succeed.

 

[GhostOfPGA]

Denver should be a lot better than they are.

 

[calvin natt]

Should Denver fire Malone?

 

[Titan]

at this point I might as well be like “go Mavs!”

 

[speeds]

For a guy that's headed to free agency in the summer you'd think he'd be relishing his opportunity to play playoff basketball. He's not wrong, but my guy, enjoy it while it lasts. You'll probably never get playoff burn again.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Philly really could use CJ. We could probably fleece em.

 

[Dom McBlazer]

Tobias "5 yr/$180M" Harris - 15 points on 6/19 shooting
Al "4 yr/$109M" Horford - 6 points on 1/5 shooting

Quick reminder that New Balance had zero KL merch available during the Raps historic run last year. Now they come out with this... once he's left that team and their fans won't buy it. Brilliant.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Denver should be a lot better than they are.

It's like Denver and Philly both have a bunch of good pieces but haven't can't find the right way to put them together. Meanwhile teams like Miami and Toronto manage to be greater than the sum of their parts.
