OFFICIAL NBA 2017-2018 Off-Season Thread

[buc em]

Been a Ben believer.

This got me killed in the offseason thread

So many gems in there. Wish I could still quote them, now I just have to screenshot.

 

[carver]

Fell asleep last night in the 3rd

Jojo unguardable

BBB gotta do something with that shot..he missing left, right, short and long...missing everything when he shooting.

Imma be on there heavy But instead of converting into a believer, Imma be the official member of #AntiCrocRondo

 

[Quincy McCall]

Myles Turner gotta come thru for these guys, early season, but him and Lowry are letting me down

 

[angels47]

But I agree though, still baffles me how Lebron to the Sixers is flying under the radar. You didn't even mention Fultz.

Fultz James Simmons Embiid Saric Covington

WOW (assuming Simmons coninutes to improve, Embiid stays healthy and Fultz is back to being who he is suppose to be)

No joke, EVERY year in my 2K GM mode, this man LeBron goes to the Sixers.

 

[100027]

Just want to note I've BEEN a Sixers defender.

Love Embiid and love Ben. Second favorite team to watch behind NY's own.

I'm not even going to hate on Lonzo, **** is rough I actually feel bad for him right now. When he looked down after missing that second 3 last night...

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

They need to change that shooting form nothing to lose.

[100027]

See I would never make that face because I never expect to make a 3, so it's nothing to lose. I just say "My bad, my bad".

Bricking doesn't hurt my emotions, just my team.

 

[Quincy McCall]

That's a drastic change tho, he shot the ball well on good volume in college... Seeing how he can't finish at the rim either, I would give him time and see if it's mainly his confidence

 

[addict4sneakers]

Not sure what Luke and team can do for Lonzo. They do need a backdoor lob play for him to maybe get his confidence going

Talking heads want him to go to the basket when he can’t even do that.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Kuzma and BI balled last night

Not just LeBron. Couldn't they also sign Paul George as well, since pretty much everything they have they obtained through the draft?

This starting lineup:

PG: Simmons
SG: PG
SF: Bron
PF: Covington
C: Embiid

Average height like 6'10.

 

[Olympus]

Bron and Simmons couldn't coexist together in the same team.

I'm not even sure what kind of FA I'd want to target this off season.

 

[getback]

The Garden gonna be LIT tonight. A seat that normally goes for around $300 is like $4,000

I was gonna go but nah not for that.

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

Celtic slaughter tonight

That's just not fair lol

Main reason I believe there's nothing they can do for real right now is because it isn't solely a confidence issue. They completely ignored very real, very apparent red flags and are just gonna have to suffer through however long it takes him to fix some of the issues. I don't believe he's a true 30% shooter from the field but I don't believe his issues are because he's not confident. He can't do some things because of his flaws

I think they could, probably would need to move someone like Saric though if Bron came to the Sixers

 

[getback]

Celtic slaughter tonight

Bron fan rooting for your team's kryptonite?

 

[bhzmafia14]

Sheesh Embiid

 

[B Sox]

It’s not the ideal fit, but I do think they could play together. He’s basically a Powerball winner’s version of Dario. Simmons-JJ-Covington-Bron-Embiid is really scary.

 

[flyerthandelta]

Celtics will come back to earth

Yes i need reality to set in for the celtics

That's true, but at the same time it's becoming a confidence issue as well which could potentially impact the parts of his game that do work right now.
