2016 Official NBA Off-Season Thread: Former Greatness

I think it went from three contenders (Cavs, Warriors, Thunder) to just two.

It blows.
There are no other contenders. If everyone stays healthy, the entire 2016-17 NBA season is a mere formality. There has never been a team this overpowered in NBA history. A team where if you completely remove their best player from their roster, they are still the favorite to win the NBA title. Not just contenders but favorites to win the title without their best player.
 
CP3 still a top pg in the L. Be cereal.

And if you keep all things equal. Meaning player 2-5 is the exact same, and give every pg in the L the reigns...I'd say CP3's team would probably fair the best.

Anyone really thinking kyrie is better then cp is just straight up trolling. There is no argument .
The only thing Kyrie got on CP is shooting :lol

By that argument a guy like Rondo is still a top PG in the NBA :lol

By that argument a guy like CP is legit better than Steph.

Why ppl so in love with high assist numbers and high percentages or the pure point guard in general

Whatever

Continue with the CP overrating fellas :lol

Dray kicking hella nuts this year fambs. suspensions dont mean a damn thing.


Here's something though..


dubs started last year, what..24-0? Anything less than that is foo foo.
 
Give me Myrie. Hot sauce is the ultimate #2 guy. Sure he pounds the ball, as does CP3 but he's one of the best scorers in the league. He's not afraid of the moment. Don't eem care if he doesn't pass

That worked real well for him when Lebron wasn't on the team.

Rondo is pretty good when he's in the right system
Steph is sometimes worse than CP
CP is a top 3 PG in the league
He has done well with the team that he has
/kanyeshrug
As much as I don't like his flopping and on the court a-hole tendencies, he's a great PG
 
Barkley out here saying KD trying to cheat his way into a championship when he held phx at gunpoint to trade him to Houston. 

Houston had Drexler, Pippen, Barkley and Olajuwon in that lineup and Barkley out here flappin his gums. :{

Hakeem, Barkley, and Clyde were still good players then, but they were still 33-34 years old. When Pippen came in and Clyde retired, Hakeem was no longer elite anymore, and was getting injured, and Barkley was struggling even though he was still scoring. That 98-99 Rockets team was more 2010-2011 Boston Celtics than anything, except they didn't have a Rondo or even Glen Davis to back up all that age from Hakeem, Clyde, and Pippen. What Barkely should've done though is get himself traded their heading into the 95/96 season.

We just need one of Clips/Grizz to be a 4th seed.

Can't have Clips and Grizz somehow taking each other out before they see GSW.

WE need GSW to see one of those teams in the 2nd rd and the other in the 3rd rd.

Can't really count on OKC or Portland at this point of the conversation, don't know what either will turn out this year.

I like the fact that a sports pundit is this much of a fan of a team and you can tell that he's hurt. Royce Young is legit distraught.
The morning of The Decision: Part Deux, ole boy was on SportsCenter AM anxious af looking like he could burst into tears at any moment.
 
Maybe they let Royce follow KD to GSW :lol

Its the only way that predator Windhorst was able to survive was by following Lebron to Miami.
 
I really have no idea who Royce Young is :lol

Is he from ESPN? Why do we care about his awful opinions?
 
bruh Hyperdunks drop tomorrow. The OG joints form 2008. The kicks Kobe jumped the Aston in. Swerve. Kicks went too hard on the court.

There was no outrage when Ray Allen left the Celtics for the guy who kept "takin him out"


He was continuously called a snake, traitor, Benedict Arnold, Judas, etc. People hated the move.

I think you're misremembering. I recollect there being way, way more positive commentary on NT and excitement from neutral observers when he made that move. A wide margin of people said he was making the right basketball decision and they had no issues with it.

At first it was whatever to me, but then he opened his mouth and kept talking about why he left. And kept talking about it. And said some more. Eventually came off as a jaded herb and I didn't like that.

...then he hit that shot in Game 6 and chokeslammed my feels straight to hell. :{  

nah b. we were all **** ray allen. Same as KG and Pierce were. Ray was a f boy to the 10th power.

Pretty much, though I personally didn't have a problem with it. But yea, a lot of people hated Ray Allen going there, especially in regards to KG and Pierce.

Which team does Ray readily identify with though? I remember back then people bringing up which team would retire his jersey, cause I actually think he was key for all 4 teams he was on.

Ray Allen's shot :smokin :smokin :hat :hat :hat >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Probably the only two teams with the size and physicality to take them out :lol

I really need to see how Memphis is looking next year and hope they remain healthy going into the playoffs. Going through the last two playoffs unhealthy sucked badly.

Is next year going to finally be the year that the East is better than the West?

Celtics improved, heat will be decent if wade is back, pistons going to take a step forward, Raptors still have the trash brothers, and the Pacers and Knicks seemed to have taken a decent leap forward.

Meanwhile in the West OKC will be fringe playoffs, Spurs are older, Mavs will be in the usually basketball purgatory, the trail blazers wasted 75M on a guy who shoots 22% from three.  The Clippers and the Warriors are seemingly the only playoffs teams that may be better than last year.
