Official 2018 NBA Preseason Thread - Jimmy Butler Does Things

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Lol. Good rebuttal.

Lol I wasn't aware. Point still stands tho

 

[Retroballer]

Rhyno playing off book and Alton
He might have a better year than Melo

Am I the only one who thinks phx won this trade ?

No pressure to win at all

If Ryan Anderson can’t play with Harden/Paul, going to phx isn’t going to solve it

What point? That Phoenix won the cap side of this?

How is Jordan Bell rated 77.

Chriss probably got the most out of the trade he needed a change of scenery.

Bell is solid

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

What point? That Phoenix won the cap side of this?

That Houston is basically strapped for the remainder of harden/Paul's contracts and 5.5 mil won't make a difference except to sign mcw's replacement anyway

Basically this

 

[sole searchin]

Plot thickens.

As if the Rockets were not interesting enough, Knight's comeback from a season lost to an ACL injury yet another storyline to watch. Has a better chance to get playing time as a fourth guard than Anderson had as a third power forward.

MCW is trash, but he's def making the team. He's Luc's replacement. MDA can turn him into a serviceable player. Its what he was always best at, getting the most out of his scrubs.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Lol. That's like saying Lance stephenson's comeback is a storyline to watch. Knight should be solid but not that solid

 

[geno90221]

Knight is a poor mans Gordon

Basically this

it's not just 5.5m only tho

they'll save at least 10m+ this year in luxury tax alone. that helps when you need to re-sign guys and the cap is also expected to increase in the upcoming years

He’s on a non guaranteed minimum deal on a team deep in the luxury tax. I’d say he chances are at best 50/50 to make the team.

 

[nick.]

So what're the chances Ariza goes back to Houston after he eventually gets bought out?

 

[hardens beard]

Harden sending the goons when he sees this

 

[lovehateself]

Literally all Chriss has to do is run and catch lobs from Harden and CP3.

Problem is he’s not gonna want to run

Zzzzzz

Houston Rockets 2018-19 luxury tax conference finalists

Pleas getting copped alrrady

Hopefully CP3 can make something out of Chriss.

Hopefully when Chriss swings on him, it's non fatal.

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Lol. Melo is the prototype for 'even the worst dude in the league would get buckets in pickup'. No rules, no 7 footers, no defense and dude is a cooker

Harden sending the goons when he sees this

Dudes really be lacking knowledge of self
