OFFICIAL NBA 2017-2018 Off-Season Thread

[sohi 23]

This throwing a bowl of soup that got JR suspended has got to be another thing that Bron is leaking out. Sounds far fetched tbh

This thread is really out of control with the Bron hate

 

[sohi 23]

The NBA remains hilarious. Only thing this reminds me of is when Cesc Fabregas threw that pizza

 

[blakep267]

How much cap space does 76ers have?
It would be dope if they could get PG and Bron

I wanna say they have 40+ million. starts at 75 mill free But embiid is getting $25 mill next season and Bayless is on the books for 9 million. so while Reddick and Amir Johnson are coming off the books, the sixers could max lebron but probably not afford to pay George a max deal

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Never!

ALA Forever!

Lonzo my dawg though.

This ***** out here false flaggin throwing up ALA in the streets but behind closed doors sleeping under purple and gold covers in his BBB jammies . We see you big dawg!!! You aint gotta lie

This was the exact argument made this summer about why Harden and CP3 wouldn’t work and would be a complete failure.

Both Harden & Paul have proven to be elite Spot up shooters tho..... As opposed to Bron being streaky & Ben being terrible at it, the doubt was in whether they would accept their roles not if the roles could work.

A team becomes a HELL of a lot less dangerous if Lebron is Spotting up or just looking to cut. Especially when you configure that Embiid needs touches in the post AKA there will be more bodies in the post when Lebron Drives

Two things he isn't top 3 & we hear yearly that he improves all the players around him & somewhere around midseason that doesn't happen & those same players are exiled for not being good enough.

Speaking truth to power.

We can only via a S&T

Now if that lakers pick conveys, I’m all for trading that for pg straight up. We can go over the Cap lol

Lebron is shooting 36% on about 5 attempts a game for the last 2 seasons. That's not streaky.

If 76ers have PG post westbrook, bron, and embid thats a scary team

No it isn't considering there was evidence that both Chris AND James could play off ball and were both very good spotting up. The discussion was if BOTH would not if they could. The sixers already have 3(Markelle when healthy) players who thrive with the ball as opposed to playing off. Why is it this difficult to gather why someone may not like the fit by adding yet ANOTHER ball dominant player that can't really spot up and most certainly refuses to do so?

Look at his shooting splits month by month. Its the definition of streaky.

Damon Jones? Man I ******* hated that guy

 

[hardens beard]

The Rockets also have one of the greatest offensive minds in NBA history in Pringles.

Nah trust me, I understand why people would have their doubts. The fit isn’t spectacular...but it’s LeBron ******* James we’re talking about and I think everybody on the team would be too good, too talented and too hungry to win for them to not figure it out.

 

[BIG FISH]

I wanna know who is still saying LeBron makes everyone better?
Y’all killing me with these false narratives.

 

[sohi 23]

Last 2 seasons he's been mediocre in January 17, March 17, December 17 & January 18 but that's really it.

I'd argue that 2 seasons with about 5 attempts a game is a good enough sample size to say he is a 36% shooter at this point. He just has his ups and downs like any NBA player though.

Gotta give him props for turning into a 35%+ shooter. He loves that above the left break three and shoots that **** with confidence.

 

[Mr.Guy]

Lebron shoots the three better than Jordan.

 

[amitt5504]

One thing w having Bron Simmons Fultz is that either of these guys can run the offense. All have good court vision and can pass

Fultz can play combo with both of them as a shooter (coming soon) and ball handler.

And the biggest thing is that Bron doesn’t have to be “the guy”. This is JoJo team not his

To say the Cavs would be better without Lebron or that the Sixers would be better without Lebron is dumb.

Lol. Here you go again

[hardens beard]

Anybody who shoots 40% from 3 then 22% on a 14 game sample sizes is considered streaky. I don't know how that could be argued.

 

[pmatic]

This is all going to be a moot point when Bron re-signs with Cleveland this summer.
