"Official" Around the NBA January 2015

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Holy shit dude you're right. Crabbe shows tons of promise on defense, he actually is almost Prince esque with worse defense and better shooting.

My dream scenario...

POR: Aaron Afflalo
DEN: CJ McCollum, T-Rob, Blazers 2016 (top 20 protected) first
NYK: JJ Hickson and Victor Claver

Then sign Tayshaun Prince...

Dame / Blake
Wes / Afflalo / Crabbe
Batum / Prince / Crabbe
Aldridge / Freeland
Lopez / Kaman

Why not trade anyone and see if we can grab jerm and prince?

 

[magnifier661]

I'd make a move on Prince over Chandler. The price would be much lower because we could waive Barton and Claver and end up with Oneal and Prince... 2 legitimate veterans for pieces who have struggled to prove their worth. That is a massive win if we could pull it off.

We could always trade those players for picks too.

Just saw on The Starters that Gerald Green only has 4 fingers on his right hand. Did you guys know this?

Nate Robinson anyone?
http://basketball.realgm.com/wireta...om-Nuggets-To-Celtics-Likely-To-Be-Bought-Out

The Boston Celtics are close to a trade with the Denver Nuggets for Nate Robinson.

Robinson's camp expects him to be bought out by the Celtics.

Adrian Wojnarowski reports that the Los Angeles Clippers and Nuggets previously discussed a trade. The Clippers are expected to attempt to sign Robinson once he clears waivers.

Robinson has been with the Nuggets since the 2013 offseason.

I think you get unfairly ripped on a lot, but it's stupid crap like this that drives people to do it.

Seriously wtf dude?!?! What a waste of thread space

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Has anyone made a Vucevic to Lakers joke yet? (Well maybe not a joke..)

That dude is ballin'

He also went to school in LA...

No doubt he will be the Lakers starting center in 2018

 

[Boob-No-More]

Just saw on The Starters that Gerald Green only has 4 fingers on his right hand. Did you guys know this?

Yep, that was actually one of the reasons he slipped in the draft. Scouts were worried it would affect his shot.

BNM

Hawks employing Spurs strategy and resting Teague, Millsap, and Carroll vs Sixers.

 

[KingSpeed]

I'd be fine with Nate. Gives us a third PG. Positive attitude. Finals experience.

And bench scoring (maybe in Portland he'd get the efficiency up). Real cheap too. He always plays hard on D as well and I'd feel more comfortable with him in over CJ.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Washington is abusing San Antonio... The Spurs look lifeless.

He was a laker at one point.

Then sign Tayshaun Prince.

Add Barton to that, return Nate Robinson, and sign O'Neal.

Dame / Blake / Robinson
Wes / Afflalo / Crabbe
Batum / Prince / Wright
Aldridge / Freeland / Leonard
Lopez / Kaman / O'Neal

Put it on the board. Hushmazilly--championship!

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

MO WILLIAMS 50 POINT GAME

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Add Barton to that, return Mate Robinson, and sign O'Neal.

Dame / Blake / Robinson
Wes / Afflalo / Crabbe
Batum / Prince / Wright
Aldridge / Freeland / Leonard
Lopez / Kaman / O'Neal

Put it on the board. Hushmazilly--championship!

That is the perfect mesh of youth and vets

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Why would we want to trade a 2016 first? That greatly hinders our future trade flexibility. Trade the 2015, because then on July 1st after the draft, we would be able to package 2016 and 2018 if we wanted.

MO WILLIAMS 50 POINT GAME

Good Mo.

52 was a franchise record and career high.

 

[KingSpeed]

Holy shit, Mo Williams. We should've kept him!!

 

[magnifier661]

Holy shit, Mo Williams. We should've kept him!!

Is this like when you said "MKW" was a superstar last season?

 

[KingSpeed]

Mo went all Andre Miller on the Pacers.

 

[KingSpeed]

The kids at RubeChat want to sell Mo now. CJ for Mo?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Good Mo.

52 was a franchise record and career high.

Even stat-stuffer Kevin Love couldn't put up 52 in Minnesota. But Stat-Mo can!

 

[KingSpeed]

I wonder what Cleveland could get for Kyrie Irving in a trade.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

I wonder what Cleveland could get for Kyrie Irving in a trade.

I'm listening to the Cavs Suns game. Amazingly enough Love appears to be the worst of the Cavs' 5 starters. They should try to deal him, not Kyrie. I wonder if they could get Bennett back...

 

[KingSpeed]

My husband's a big LeBron fan, thus a Cavs fan. Watching the game right now, he said he wished Lillard was on his team. I bet that's what a lot of NBA fans are saying for their team. In glad he's ours.

I've been saying it for a couple weeks now, Cleveland should call Brooklyn and try to deal Love and Thompson for Johnson and Plumlee

Irving doesn't fit with LeBron. Love is trash no matter where he plays. If they could do it over, I'm sure they'd keep Wiggins.

 

[KingSpeed]

That wouldn't solve anything just like JR Smith doesn't solve anything. How about Irving for Wiggins and Mo? Mo played well with LeBron.

 

[KingSpeed]

Cavs just scored 5 points in like 2 seconds
