OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA THREAD - June 2021

[KSF-ERIC]

Couldn't you say something similar about the Roy-and-Aldridge Blazers? Didn't we have the worst record in the NBA in their rookie year?
And apparently it's not CP3, it's James Jones.

No. We won 30 some games in Roy’s rookie year. That team made a gradual climb from there. Phoenix has gone from garbage to possible champion in like 18 months. And I don’t think it’s Paul. I don’t.

 

[DDolla]

Question… are we saving money again that we let Seth Curry to walk away?

We never had his bird rights. Couldn’t match what Dallas paid him. If any team should be upset it’s the Mavs. Paid all that $$$ to steal him from us and let him go.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Enough of this trade CJ for Simmons stuff.
Sorry. CJ McCollum is the better player.
There I said it.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Did Gallinari get better? Or have I just been missing something?

 

[BigGameDamian]

Monty Williams vs Nate McMillan in the Finals sure would be funny as a Blazers fan.

But Nate's a shitty ass coach.

 

[Hoopguru]

But Nate's a shitty ass coach.

Better than Rivers thats for sure.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Better than Rivers thats for sure.

Rivers gets a lot of praise for being pretty good?
A bunch of people who should know think he is one of the best?

 

[Ed O]

Did Gallinari get better? Or have I just been missing something?

He's been good. He's also been hurt. Like... always. Haha

Soooo are you’re saying they’ll be adding a 1st with Ben for CJ? Count me in lolol

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Atlanta is letting Simmons bring the ball up completely unguarded. They are playing 5 on 4 Defense when he has the ball in his hands.

 

[LayneStaley]

CJ for Harris is the deal to make.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Soooo are you’re saying they’ll be adding a 1st with Ben for CJ? Count me in lolol

In my opinion. Understand that is worthless.
They would have to add at least that. But remember. Their pick isn’t very good. So maybe two picks?

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Now Simmons can’t even have the ball in his hands.
Absolutely no respect.

 

[LayneStaley]

After this series I’m not even sure it would take CJ to get Simmons. A sign and trade of Powell is probably fair. The dude looks broken to me.

 

[DDolla]

Simmons is one scared dude

 

[LayneStaley]

Simmons as a small ball center might work, he just distributes to 4 shooters and gets rebounds on the misses.

 

[DDolla]

I wonder if Nurk was playing for the Hawks. Would Trae throw those lob passes to him?

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Atlanta is not quitting. This has been a good game.

 

[crandc]

This board: Anyone on any other team does something good = Blazers are trash.

Not the whole board.

 

[crandc]

Both Game sevens thrillers.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Wow?
Terrible foul.

 

[BigGameDamian]

I did not think Kevin Huerter would be this good coming out of college. This kid has really stepped up big time.

 

[Mr. Robot]

lol phila

 

[B-Roy]

Take us home Kevin Huerter

 

[DDolla]

Haha Fire Doc !!!!

 

[JoshuaHall]

I wonder if Aldo is going to mention how bad Seth curry is on defense or not

 

[LayneStaley]

No chance Morey doesn’t break this up.

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

Haha Fire Doc !!!!

And hire Stotts. He can then reunite with CJ when we trade him.

 

[JoshuaHall]

Been saying it.
