OFFICIAL NBA 2017-2018 Off-Season Thread

[lovehateself]

Fultz was the right pick. Just doesn't look it right now. I'd shut him down until he recovers fully, mentally and physically.

damn, i didnt think it was worth shutting down...but i guess the red-shirt tradition continues.

I was kinda amazed at how many people didn't realize the Grizz style of play has completely shifted. That's the first thing I think people need to realize. Offense is much better, they're able to switch on everything defensively now and they're playing much faster. This is exactly why you should've moved off Zbo/TA two years ago.

Not to mention, Marc dominating on both ends

The days of abusing Zbo in the pick n roll and playing 5 on 4 with TA are gone. More versatility, giving Conley/Marc the keys officially. I don't how good the team will be this year, but I thought it was funny how people wrote them off because they lost two net negatives from the past season in Zach/Tony.

Conley off to a slow start but OG mario Chalmers has been great.

And Mempis stays with some great value wings getting the job done. NOP should take notes

 

[carver]

i hope fultz gets right, if not philly's 2017 draft will be right there with the wolves in 2009

 

[Peep Game]

Not to mention, Marc being on the ground more than a stripper

correct

So basically Dwight regressed into Drummond

Hmph...good point

Clutch Conley still killing it in the 4th though. Need to get Harrison out of the rotation once Mclemore returns. Harrison being a dud offensively is kinda slowing Conley down to start games. It'll also be interesting to see what happens with Martin when Jamychal returns. Martin has been playing pretty well and has a higher ceiling.

The bench is the most fragile bench in the league, but could be really good if they stay healthy. Rio, Reke, Brooks, Parsons, Wright. A bench full of knee/achilles/ankle surgeries (outside of Dillon) They've been the difference maker this year because usually the bench sucks. But, they've dominated every team's bench thus far.

Mempis needs a rebranding. Go back to the Vancouver colorway

Dwight is probably better than Drummond right now. He's playing real well for Charlotte.

 

[abubakr shaheed]

So we just gonna act like the Grizz ain't just expose The Warriors and Rockets in the same week...

did not expect much from memphis, but im liking their new look. very athletic and versatile. fizdales a good coach

i dunno man, philly seems set at PG with simmons. they could have gone a few different ways in the draft that might have been better. especially not trading the lakers pick

 

[buc em]

Fultz isn't a PG, he's supposed to be a combo guard that can shoot from outside and be a perfect fit to Simmons. The problem is right now he can't shoot the damn ball.

If he gets it right, he’ll be a perfect compliment to Simmons.


It was hard not call him crocodile Rondo but he’s better than that name

Mempis needs a rebranding. Go back to the Vancouver colorway

we need a black & yellow NBA team

I wish. How our G League team uni's look better than the NBA squad lol

 

[BIG FISH]

realistically any other player outside of fultz wasn't as good of a fit (jackson, tatum, fox, ball) or would've been a reach (monk) so that trade kinda had to happen imo.
plus isn't the lakers pick top 2 protected or something

 

[tireless drive]

Fultz is trash he should just learn Lonzo jumper

 

[BIG FISH]

I remember addict not being a believer in simmons cause of his limited scoring ability but everything he was saying is looking like it applies to lonzo

 

[wavycrocket]

Not too long ago NT said Drummond was already better than Dwight Howard (who hadn't really declined yet like now), and was set to be greater than prime Dwight Howard. LOL.

I vividly remember this

 

[freeze]

Except neither of those stats are true.

Give it about 15 games, both Covington and Bayless won't be in the top 10 in 3pters made.

This. Remember those months a couple seasons ago Rasual Butler was statistically best 3pt shooter in the League. Then he died. Now he's in the Big 3 .


Nobody will be talking about Covington and trash *** name Jerryd, in a month.

 

[100027]

Just watching random college highlights like this and his shooting form looks totally normal

 

[addict4sneakers]

I remember addict not being a believer in simmons cause of his limited scoring ability but everything he was saying is looking like it applies to lonzo

I’m going to hold the L on Simmons. Not so much on Lonzo right now.

 

[SupremeBeing5]

D'Aaron is the sleeper. He'll be the best player from this draft is 2 years.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Just in case there are pockets of non believers left

 

[freeze]

I think the 6ers do need to try to win now considering Embiid’s health.

win what though? a championship?

cue up vince mcmahon theme music.

 

[AEA18]

So is Josh Jackson S. Jack 2.0?

 

[addict4sneakers]

win what though? a championship?

cue up vince mcmahon theme music.

Who said anything about a championship? Or even the ECF?

I’m saying I’m maximizing Embiid’s health while I can. Tomorrow ain’t promised, word to Greg Oden.

Y’all gotta chill thinking “win now” means the same for every team. 6ers don’t need to be in the lottery again
