Official 2018 NBA Preseason Thread - Jimmy Butler Does Things

[sohi 23]

Hawks have had a hell of an offseason.

Picked up two future 1st rounders, got rid of Schroeder's contract and picked up Huerter & Trae.

Good job.

Only team with significant cap space left in this free agent market is Sac right?

low-key I enjoyed live more then 2k last season but I didn't think either them were any good. The last ea basketball game I enjoyed was nba street volume 2 .
Last live game I really enjoyed was like 99 or 2000 .

Repped for mentioning NBA Street Vol 2. - tied with NBA Jam for GOAT arcade style game.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Stop it , Tony Allen has to be almost 2 years younger than those dudes

And equally as washed.

 

[FreshLeeLA]

SEGA 2K3 on the Dreamcast still the GOAT. All jokes aside, has EA Live been trash for damn near 2 decades?

The OG NBA2K on Dreamcast (with A.I. on the cover) will always be the goat. Too many late night battles with the homies on that joint

 

[vood99]

Lol I'll give you TA being washed but my mans Barbosa ain't get his due yet. He still got 2 seasons left in him

Allen & Barbosa can give you maybe 5-10 minutes max guarding the opposing team's second unit.

 

[Quincy McCall]

Both of those guys are past their primes my G.

Solid rotational vets

All of those games had Iverson on the cover my G - 2K to 2K3. I think 2K3 was the most polished of all the 2K games for that generation of hardware but I will agree with you that 2K was evolutionary in the way that NBA Live 95 was.

So how much did the trade save OKC tax wise? Are the savings worth giving up a 1st round pick?

90-100M

Solid rotational vets

Yep see my previous post but their contributions are super limited at this point. I don't think they can replace what Ariza brought to the table.

 

[tomdiginson]

OKC came up big with Schroder acquisition.

Without a doubt, Rockets need to take all the help they can get.

 

[kdslittlebro]

Some of these may be the same but god damn

 

[smedroc]

You think Felton is switching to a plant based life and is out there running hills?

 

[B Sox]

OKC going to be interesting. They should be really good defensively (despite Russ) if everyone stays healthy.

Defense fell off a cliff when Roberson went out last year.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Still not much separation between teams in the West after GS.

Utah = OKC = Houston = Lakers = Nuggets = Timberwolves = Spurs = Pelicans = Blazers

 

[B Sox]

Houston still on a different tier from everyone else.

Fixed


Houston would have beat GS if CP3 ain’t go down

CP3 always goes down

 

[EddieDoyers]

CP0's hamstring got eliminated in 5

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Houston still on a different tier from everyone else.

I agree but I’m nowhere near as confident in their separation as last season

If there’s any slippage in Gordon capela or Paul they will lose their grip quick

[storm2006]

Wait....dude is really suggesting Tony Allen...for a contender....in 2018. This ain’t 2009 bruh

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

They gonna promise Carmelo Anthony a starting role?

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Last time I saw Tony Allen...was on Area 21 w/ KG, Alan Anderson, K-Mart, and Andre Ingram

If that ain't washed...what is?

Before that he was being guarded by Andrew Bogut.

Mans been washed
