2016 Official NBA Off-Season Thread: Former Greatness

[hankmoody]

POSTED: November 19, 2001
"Tim Hardaway, joining other former Miami Heat teammates in criticizing Pat Riley, predicts that his former coach never will win another NBA title because players no longer want to play for him.
Anthony Mason, Jamal Mashburn, Voshon Lenard and Ricky Davis previously complained about Riley.
"I don't see Riley winning a championship again," said Hardaway, who will return to Miami on Friday as a member of the Dallas Mavericks. "It's going to be hard because he's not going to have the same type of guys he wants. Guys 10 years ago would want to be in that philosophy. Now a lot of people have heard things, and guys don't want to play there. And he's not capable of changing."

So basically Pats position has never changed throughout the years

Can't believe we lost Boban. Feels like we are losing more than we are gaining. We already lost Diaw.

Detroit is signing Spurs restricted free agent Boban Marjanovic to a three-year, $21 million offer sheet, according to league sources

God damn I love the NBA... this offseason has been nuts. I'm still really bummed OKC and Durant are finished. I really wanted to see KD and Russy win one together.. next to a Knicks championship and Lebron winning another, it was the story I wanted to see the most.

It's just going to be weird not seeing those two together on the court.

Anyway, I stumbled across probably the best promo ever from a few years ago.. classic.

this recently made for LeGoat

what the hell is HB showing off on his right arm?

although he completely pissed the bed during the finals i wonder if he elevated his game now that it seems like he's been given the keys to an offense. besides dirk, who's taking those shots?

 

[bballkid11]

Big Bobaaan

What?!?

 

[art vandelay]

Wowwww, Boban left, dude was the future center down here, damn. SAS has no big men left besides LMA. Their starting center is gonna end up being Stoudemire.

T-Wolves got next if so

 

[art vandelay]

Where are the sauces?

 

[ballinsam23]

Where is Kris Dunn in all of this

 

[Platinum State]

Im glad Boban got paid by someone

 

[hand2handking]

aint no point in any player being "loyal" or doing anything to help a team get better

if when you do ppl will turn around and say oh well shouldnt have done it

no such thing as a franchise player anymore according to you guys

 

[picasso swerve]

Nvm.


Saw a post on IG and people say it aint true. Looked legit though, even threw in a fake Thibbs quote.

Spurs Legend, Boban... who is next?

Feels like most of the Superstars I've watched for the past 10 years are leaving their home team and going somewhere else, wild...
