2020-21 NBA Offseason thread: Officially a wrap

[pmatic]

Steve Kerr said something about them needing to be a top 10 defense, to fulfill potential. And he’s right. Stops & transition is where they will kill teams.

Trying to be the 2020 Lakers.

Thought that was one of LeBron’s 10 mvps, that he should’ve had?

2011 was Rose

 

[HOU$TON]

Y'all mfers get real humble when all that talking backfires. Now dudes don't wanna celebrate, trash talk, nothing. Just wanna have a nice peaceful NBA thread now.



This thread been real entertaining since the day that AD trade went through.

Dwight was putting up 20, 14 and almost 3 blocks per game. He was a force. Cats revising history as usual. Appreciate that man

 

[rolaholic]

Yea prime Dwight was probably the most dominant traditional big man of the last 30 years not named Shaq, he deserves his flowers imo.

Definitely a sure fire HOFer

2011 was Rose

Yup and he deserved it. But this one especially, is one that they say “LeBron got robbed” of.

it was either Rose or Dwight.

Orlando really tricked off the 2010 year. They were rollin. I forgot who was on JJ pod, but he was talking about that year specifically.

that’s the VC, being shook at the FT line year.

Do Duncan and KG not count as traditional bigs?

Dwight definitely a first ballot HOFer. Easy.

 

[Mark Antony]

Ya'll turn into such complete weirdos when Bron talk comes up.

Ya'll turn into such complete weirdos when Bron talk comes up.

Both sides lose their minds.

He got hurt and then turned himself into a clown

Yea those 2 specifically are why I had to put the qualifier there

They were bigs but more in the modern post-euro mold where they had skillful perimeter games just as good as their post game imo. Still 2 of the greatest regardless though.

Meant more the old school, bang down low physical type bigs that were the norm and standard for most of the league's history

 

[king j]

When the 8th seed We Believe Again Warriors upsets the not suppose to be here #1 seed Lakers >>>>>>>

Spoiler

MLGA will use this as receipt to show no one believed in them again

N_ ain’t you a Heat fan?

They went from Klay and KD to Oubre and Wiggins.

I’ll believe the Golden State propaganda when I see it.

I do think Curry goes off this year though. Just has to stay healthy.

Timmy a skilled perimeter player? I’m here for this Top5Timmy talk.

Hed have a 3ball today, if he played.

 

[ballinsam23]

This James Harden saga needs to end sooner than later.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Dwight was more of the prototype big of today than a throw it on the block guy. Dwight got unlocked playing 4 out with hedo.

Was always a monster down low but late career Tim was pretty damn good in the perimeter too. He shot more and more and better as he got older.

Can definitely believe he'd have developed a consistent 3 pointer in today's era

You won't find me arguing against his greatness , top 10 all time for me easily

Hakeem? Patrick Ewing? David Robinson? Duncan?

 

[MVP]

PG and Lou for Harden

 

[rolaholic]

Hakeem? Patrick Ewing? David Robinson? Duncan?

All big man 's but the first 3 all started in the 80's though in the pre-Shaq era

I acknowledge Duncan as the goat PF but he had a different sort of game

 

[antidope]

I need James Harden to do something so we don't spend the entire day hearing about this.

 

[ballinsam23]

It's business never personal.

 

[pmatic]

I wonder if Milwaukee would've made the same offer for Harden that they did for Jrue. All Giannis-Harden tension aside, that could've been fun.
