OFFICIAL NBA 2017-2018 Off-Season Thread

[dat dude chris]

mavs are not gonna spend a top 5 pick on him

yall should be good

I know that. Im talking bout them letting the Lakers win, which messes up our pick lol

The Hornets losing too compounded the problem

 

[dat dude chris]

The league is better with Marshon Brooks in it.

He back?! Dude was so nice in 2k lmao

 

[jsindaa]

kept us in the game tho

Where did you get this?!

I still have Harden as MVP right but Lebron is a very close second and honestly if he plays all 82 along with the numbers he’s been putting up he kinda sorta should get it. He’s played with practically 2 different teams this season and the Cavs have never fallen below 4th

 

[storm2006]

Damn...I knew the mainstream media didn’t want Harden to win an MVP but with all this Lebby support in here, I didn’t know y’all were the same.

Russell Westbrook really ****** up this argument because the “Top 3 team in your conference” narrative is null and void (I know Cavs are currently seeded at #3 but they are only 0.5 a game up on #4 and 1 up on #5.

Also - Will Harden fall below the threshold for games played that folks were citing as almost mandatory in previous years?

******, it’s the East and He’s part of the damn problem .

Marshon back? I saw him playing against starburry a few months ago

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

41/10/8 on 53/50/81
Steph's last game 0/0/0

 

[buc em]

Yep. If he falls to 10-11 then picking him would be a no brainer

Then again Colangelos love of Euro players terrifies me

The only Euro player that’s even in the conversation for top 20 this year besides Doncic is the Bosnian kid named Musa who will probably go closer to 20 unless he has really strong workouts. Dude is an elite shooter/scorer though and is only 18. He might be a guy to look out for with our own pick if we actually even keep it.

 

[B Sox]

I was wondering why y'all were all of the sudden talking about Marshon. Had no clue dude was still in the league

 

[B Sox]

Back in the day

Remember when they had that show on ESPN or NBATV back when they had this team in the early 00s? Can't remember what it was called.

 

[jsindaa]

LeBron is not the MVP lmao
That’s obviously one of his manufactured takes just for ratings

This is the thing. It's actually not. And even if it is... You have sh*t like this

Happening in real life. Harden is CLEARLY the MVP but because narratives matter, you have ridiculous stuff like this happening. As much as you don't wanna admit it... LeBron is responsible for some of this mess because he's consistently copping pleas/being passive aggressive via the media and social media. I mean the other day Windy was going on about how it's unfair that there aren't two awards MOP and MVP, because LeBron hasn't won an MVP in 5 years and he's not getting his due. LeBron James, needs MORE respect. I mean, it's ridiculous.

 

[BIG FISH]

Where would you rank him in the convo?

2nd or 3rd but it doesn’t matter cause Harden is way ahead of everyone else.

 

[B Sox]

LeBron is shooting better than Harden, and averaging more rebounds and assists while playing more games though

Hes the exact guy i was thinking of lol. Hes frail af looking right now but he is long & his shot is wet

If we get Mikal at 10 or 11, we should draft a big man or a combo guard with our pick. If Shake Milton was faster & more athletic than i woulda liked him in that spot.

I wonder if Bolden & Pasecnkis gon come over next yr btw

 

[Peep Game]

Westbrook (almost averaging a triple double)
Harden
Bron
AD

Have some dignity

 

[B Sox]

******, it’s the East and He’s part of the damn problem .

Please stop acting like the West is better.

 

[BIG FISH]

While I agree that Bron is a part of the reason for the Cavs struggles... please stop acting like they would be better off without him.

Sideline LA Hoops. Yes, I remember. I have been emailing ESPN for years to throw it on ESPN Classics

I think Bolden is for sure coming over after this season

 

[B Sox]

The Rockets win 62.5% of their games when Harden doesn't play

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

How can yall blame bron for the huge decline of crowder, JR, TT, and IT.
Also won 18 of 19 games with calderon, korver and frye.

 

[wavycrocket]

Please stop acting like the West is better.

It is.
