Official 2017 NBA Offseason Thread: Media Days begin

[Vincent Van Goat]

Lauri needs a fit and they must really hate portis

I'd take smith over Dunn tbh, use Dunn for another trade if possible

 

[bishopstrongbow]

I hope the signing of Lauri means they let god awful Niko Mirotic go as a RFA. 

I'm also all for Pooh going to the T-Wolves 

 he respects the hell out of Thibs and he'll play hard for him.

Derrick still got something left in the tank.

Said they're resigning Mirotic
Bulls gonna bulls

This is why I don't bother. 

 

[addict4sneakers]

Bulls
Knicks
Lakers

:x

Me either.

 

[ill steelo]

I don't like Stringer in Minnesota. Not next to Maple Rudy.

Someone has to go

They certainly needed a vet but Jimmy's developed some terrible offensive habits. One of the league's premier ball stoppers.

I like the group's defensive potential, but I don't think Thibs is the guy that'll get everything out of them offensively.

 

[AEA18]

Thibs really gettin D Rose now

And Taj

Deng please

Thibs trying to finish what he started in the Chi

No knees are safe!

 

[100027]

Butler gonna have to deal with drama queens.

Butler is a drama queen though

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Didn't rondo get on Jimmy for not being nice to his young teammates?

 

[100027]

The thing that scares me about Minnesota is that Thibs doesn't know how to run an NBA offense.

 

[illicit305]

look.... i hate the loss of lavine.

but

jimmy butler/wiggins/kat are a legit big 3.

wiggins averaged 23 last year.

KAT IS KAT......

all three are ABOVE AVERAGE defenders, i would dare to say ELITE especially

so they have a legit defensive big 3, two of them havent been in the league 4 years......wiggins will breakout this season with the braids and sleeve, its iverson time for him.

kat will start to average DMC numbers as soon as this upcoming season.

jimmy butler is a gauranteed 25 points per night and only allowing his matchups to total out at 10 points.

wiggins will be the same.

kat is a young tim duncan thats actually athletic.......they still have rubio,shabazz,dieng,tyus.....decent role players.

with this addition of jimmy b and the development of kat and wiggins its gauranteed atleast 6th seed in the west.

 

[illicit305]

oh and if lavine recovers from injury well.........and has no further injuries ofc.

he averages 25 with 8 assists next season minimal.

 

[illicit305]

jabari parker came back dunking harder than ever after losing that first knee.

russell westbrook came back better.

lavine is 22 now i think, he will come back better.

 

[bballkid11]

Lavine the truth.

Let see how long or how he comes back.

Dunn-TBD

Lauri-EHH

That's why he is getting a bunch of ball stoppers to play ISO ball.

dunn came in the league washed....he spent those 4 years in college trying to make it to the league but he almost looks gassed......i watched a lot of t wolves games and hes not nothing...........

lavine is legit VC.

by 25 lavine will be averaging prime VC numbers and dunking like prime vc, you can tell hes not one of those party/get drunk type of players. this dude is about his craft and his lady, he gonna average 30/8/5 atleast one season in his career

butler is not a ball stopper.

stahp hating on my wolvez we finally made it.

Curious to know what's your definition of a ball stopper?

Define left in the tank

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Kat is not above average on defense. Neither is Wiggins I don't think

 

[Based Jesus]

Wiggins aint no damn elite defender

 

[nick.]

Bulls
Knicks
Lakers

Knicks ain't do nothing wrong

Lakers had a great night imo

I don't want him back for 24 million. He and his tracksuit can stay in Chicago[/quote]

For sure not for 24m :lol

Meant if he gets bought out eventually which seems likely given how Chicago is officially in tank mode after blowing it up

Could see him joining the Cavs though if that happens :{
