2016 Official NBA Off-Season Thread: Former Greatness

Damn if that kid was a real man he would've trolled Steph with a Love Jersey.

Like, if that was me. I would've had a Love Jersey under my Dubs Jersey. If he challenged me to guard him I'd just whip the Love Jersey out. [emoji]128514[/emoji][emoji]128514[/emoji][emoji]128514[/emoji]

Shocked Curry hasn't had some type of surgery yet

 

[Cashflow]

I don't think many of you understand the cap

Shocked Curry hasn't had some type of surgery yet

We don't know if he has or not.

I wanna see Greek Freak-Wade-Middleton-Jabari-Henson badly.

 

[casper90403]

they would have announced it. Good excuse.

Being facetious.

Who are the vets? They need a few solid vets.

LeBatard breaks it down here. Wade is trying to get back that 10 million his BFF cost him. But there isn't 10 million extra to give him.

Exactly. Also Wade having the same agent as Bosh but Bosh got all the money. Wade had to settle for that 1-year deal at 16 mil because he looked washed in the 2014 finals and only played 54 games. Nobody was gonna pay him big money. That's not the heat's fault. That's on Lebron and his agent.

I'm aware he opted out & took less so Bron could get his max.

But Miami can absolutely give him 2/50 or more. They just don't want to, which is ridiculous given all he's done for the organization AND most importantly the fact that he still provides production on par with every elite SG in the NBA sans Harden.

This isn't Kobe playing 20 games a year and struggling to shoot above 35%.

The heat have 20 mil in cap space.

Not even a cavs fan but I hope they wash gsw again next year. If gsw signs Ray Allen. Cleveland gotta sign d wade. I don't see anybody competing against the cavs and the warriors next year.

 

[illoquent aka dsk]

 
Wade Rondo and Butler is a disaster waiting to happen. I hope he goes to chicago just so that I actually get to see it.

YES, please. I need this in real life.

With Fred Hoiberg's weak *** commanding the troops slfdjd;dsajldslf;l

 

[Air Pope]

To bad he couldn't do that against the Cavs

Wasn't he injured in every loss or something like that?

 

[shoeking2102]

This is false because to be eligible for a NTC, you have to be in the league at least eight years and with the team giving you the NTC at least four years.

Maybe there was one there initially?

Break it down for us.

I mean Middleton and Henson are going into their 5th seasons, Greivis and Delladova have playoff experience, Greek Freak going into his 4th year, Jabari going into his 3rd...Wade would be the type of battle tested veteran that they need to put them over the top. They could still make other "veteran" signings as well for the bench if they wanted them.

I have to imagine it would not go over well with his wife if he told her they're moving from Miami to Wisconsin though....

Dwain Price is an idiot. All the cap experts promptly tweeted this was false.

 

[mgrand15]

Thought his apologists said he was hurt though.

Curry's definitely 100% if he could cross up a child.

 

[illoquent aka dsk]

Wade joins the Bucks and opposing coaches would basically get a night off. Tell your squad at tip-off no matter what happens just pack the hell out the paint. Coach can spend the rest of that game scouting prospects in the stands.

 

[Based Jesus]

Barkley and Reggie salty ***** talking **** about KD 

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Stopped taking Barkley seriously years ago

 

[slick vitale]

Y'all rallied behind Heel Lebron but hate Heel KD.

I'm loving it. They got everyone scared and haven't played a game yet.

Middleton, Dellavadova, Teletovic. They're really not that bad.

 

[illoquent aka dsk]

Completely forgot about Dellavadova/Teletovic additions. I had last year's team in mind.

I'd still let 'em try to beat me on the perimeter though.

 

 

[antidope]

Sports are funny man. I changed jobs last year and got nothing but pats on the back for going to a better company.

This happens and it's burn KD at the stake.

 

[JD617]

Dwain Price is definitely not the sharpest guy.

Midas well just throw up a college 2-3 against the Bucks
