Official 2013 NBA Offseason Thread

I'm not sold on the Warriors. Their only good bench player is Klay Thompson. Then you have mediocre players like Speights, Douglas :x , Green, Bazemore, and the corpse of Jermaine O'Neal :x .

Three of he guys you just mentioned are good players. They're not Jarrett Jack, but they fill needs. Golden State is very deep they will be fine

Which 3 are you referring to?

Speights, Douglas, and Green, and I used to hate Green

 

[Cashflow]

everyone aside from Lebron on that team is old and injury prone.

good luck with that

Besides DWade, who exactly is injury prone that is currently in the regular rotation?

 

[suberzat1]

If he makes the team it would be underrated lol... I thought he was washed up but he looked pretty spry today

he doing good knocking down the three ball for the pelicans and was actually playing good in games

It's official, Doug Collins will replace Mike Wilbon on NBA Countdown. Bill Simmons, Magic Johnson and Jalen Rose return from last season.

As of now Klay Thompson is the one coming off of the bench. Soon they'll swap him and Barnes out and see what works best, but I'm willing to bet he ends up the starter for the opener.

I can mess with that, Wilbon seemed out of place on there.

^ i would have thought they would have started klay and steph with iggy..

iggy could take some of the ball handling duties away from steph.. and then you can just sit the 2 of them in the corners for spot up 3s..


then barnes could play the SF or PF spot depending on what's going on in whatever game









i would have rathered they had gotten rid of magic and let it be more free following.. bill and wilborn work when they're on PTI together.. and jalen and bill work when they're on podcasts.. magic just seems awkward in any setting

 

[certifiedflyboi23]

Why isn't Klay starting though?

 

[coldcity]

2nd unit scoring

 

[certifiedflyboi23]

Klay going to the Lakers after this season anyway.

 

[pmatic]

Has anyone's scouting report made a 180 spin more than Draymond Green? He went from being a defensive liability with offensive intrigue entering the draft into now a defensive clog but offensive liability for Mark Jackson.

I said the same thing. I really like their team, but I'm not confident in their bench or their starters staying healthy. They will be good, but interested to see if they are capable of grinding games out in the halfcourt come playoff time. I would like to see how they perform against Memphis this season because the past 2 years, Memphis has pretty much owned them due to their style of play. I will say this, I love their big man rotation. Bogut, Lee, Speights, Green, Ezeli, O'neal is a solid rotation of bigs. The key is for them to stay healthy.

That layup Douglas missed last night remind me of something I'll see in a church league game . He literally just threw it off the backboard, while slowing down enough. I'm sure TA has done it a few times too .

My brother is praying that this happens.

Not a single person. He was the epitome of frustrating to watch last year, I cringed whenever he shot the ball. He redeemed himself in the playoffs in my eyes though.

The most painful Warriors games to watch were agianst the Grizzlies, they did not play them well at all.

His dad was on the radio saying he wants it to happen, so you never know...

so what does LA offer golden state to make this happen?

He did play better in the playoffs, specifically against Denver.

Well he's gonna be a RFA

 

[RickBlast]

I still think he is overachieving I did not think he would be in any teams rotation coming out of MSU. Props to him.

Judging by last night, Deandre looks like he's been working on his game on both ends of the floor. If the Clips can get that from him on a consistent basis during the reg season, and especially the playoffs, we're gonna be scary good.

 

[IATT]

he's going be a RFA in the '15 summer.. which still means golden state can match any offer

I'm not going to count on him quite yet. He looked good in preseason last year too, then fell off when the regular season rolled around. But VDN may have been partly to blame for that. I'm hoping Doc will help DJ be more consistent.

i really just don't want to see wilbon's senile self on tv at all, so every little bit helps

Man yall said the same thing att he start of last year. He made 3 hook shots in the pre-season and folks went crazy.
