2016 Official NBA Off-Season Thread: Former Greatness

[casper90403]

This man used the phrase "man up and place an avy bet."

You gotta take it easy, man. Crazy defensive for no reason. Stay in the Knicks thread if all you want to read is optimism about your team. No one can give their opinion about the Knicks without you getting all mad and callng it "hate."

But, but, but, The NYK's are the most expensive franchise in the NBA, so you have to respect them...........

Man Lebron is really the champ right now. You have to rspct him

Zaza Pachulia decided to turn down a 2 year, $20 million deal with the Wizards for his 1 year, $2.9 million deal with Golden State.

Cot damn

Damn. He wants a ring that badly I guess. He's made $50M so far in his career. Passing on $18M was not a smart move.

But damn, 2/$20M sounds low as hell. Mozgov worth 2 + $45M more?

Nah

Nah

Im more sad that wizards even offred that

 

[Moheezy]

Hubie and his leash. I would watch full Memphis games and maybe if I'm lucky once a game he would do a no looker or crossover.

That Memphis squad was my ish on NBA Live

J Will
Bonzi Wells
Stromile Swift
Gasol
Mike Miller

Plus Posey and Lorenzen Wright (RIP)

Don't forget Michael Dickerson, dude was a beast in Live 03.

Him and Jonothan Bender were my secret weapons, I only brought them out the last quarter of tight games.

 

[casper90403]

Did Mugsy Bogues or Earl Boykins?

they did to me, compared to Tyler.

But Tyler has that natural leadership quality. I root for him

 

[casper90403]

you don't think he's worth that when Mozgov getting $65M and Biyombo getting $72M?

I'd rather commit to just two years for Zaza than the other two

Zaza doesn't help us get any closer to the playoffs or a title

 

[shoeking2102]

Did Mugsy Bogues or Earl Boykins?

Well no, but how many of those are out there?

Musgy and Earl are probably exceptions and not the standard

 

[casper90403]

i think you can say that about 90% of the guys who signed this off season.

 

[shoeking2102]

When I say look, I dont strictly mean the eye test.

He obviously doesnt look the part but my issues with ullis go beyond his size.

He cant shoot, wont be able to guard, wont be able to finish in the paint, and I have reservations about his ability to actually get in the paint and make real plays in the NBA.

We'll see though

Ok Im right either way so wats your point

 

[buc em]

I love how people act like these guys are playing a bunch of 5'10 rec center players in summer league like nothing anybody is doing they'll be able to do against "real NBA competition."

Tyler Ullis was DPOY this past season in the SEC...he'll be able to hold his own in the NBA on that side of the ball.

 

[pmatic]

No thanks to small guards.

 

[JD617]

It's crazy to me that Ulis weighed in at 149 at the combine. Has anyone under 150 gotten drafted before? Other than like the '50s...

At least a guy like Isaiah is a solidly built 185.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Small guards have success every year B.

mugsy is 5'3 he might not be 150lbs thick

 

[JD617]

Muggsy, Spud... that's all I got.

Edit: Forgot Boykins.

 

[Naruto]

Tyler has higher iq than the other small guards n to me a better team player than Thomas n Robinson or Felder

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

At least Ulis played well in Summer League, that's a start

I'm rooting for him to continue to prove people wrong

 

[Sonny Corinthos]

I'm rooting for him to continue to prove people wrong

I hope he goes to China and stays there for 15 years

 

[casper90403]

relax man. Does every conversation with you have to be like this? Got friends?

 

[frshstunna]

Tyler ulis doesnt look like an nba player to me

He was pretty good in summer league

 

[casper90403]

team felt good enough about him to guarantee 2 years out of the 4 year deal he signed, at $1M per. Pretty solid.

Lebron is the only friend he needs.
