The 2014-2015 NBA Season Thread. Lock It Up Please: The Golden State Warriors Are The Champions

Should be going after deng instead

maybe the Grizz offered the same package to Miami as well but were turned away?

Its not like the Grizz have much to offer anyways.

You're better than that

There was a clear difference when LeBron was guarded by Leonard. Can't just use his overall stats to prove anything, especially since there were 4 blowouts out of 5 games

Only 19 percent of James' touches against Leonard in the Finals resulted in a James field goal attempt. Against all other defenders, that rate jumped to 33 percent. 


LeBron was held without a touch on 33 percent of the Heat's possessions when he was guarded by Leonard. Against all other defenders, he was held without a touch 23 percent of the time. 

1. yes Kawhi was good but he didn't lock him down, the pacers did a better job of that. The heats problem was not scoring in that series. and Kawhi's defense was not the difference maker in the series or

2. but this is precisely my overall point, it is really easy to reduce the impact of a great perimeter defensive player.

You didnt disprove anything he said and you know it

Love it. I've been talking about adding a 4th guy that can score the basketball on this team for a while since we moved Rudy. It'll be nice to have a SG and SF who are capable of being offensive threats with Conley, Zbo and Gasol out there. I also hope this moves TA back on the bench where he should be. Joerger should adjust lineups accordingly depending on who we matchup against. Whether that's start TA some nights or start Lee.

Considering Koufos is #6 in rim protection and he only plays 17 minutes a game, I was hoping we could've swung that deal with Cleveland to get 2 1sts. Koufos and Mozgov are pretty similar in most analytical stats. Maybe Cleveland was offering less since Koufos was coming off the bench? But, I'm thinking we may use Koufos in this deal. I think keeping him all season long only for him to play like 5 minutes in the playoffs is a waste. Also, keeping him for insurance in case Marc gets hurt is a waste. Last year, we found out that without Marc, this team is barely pushing .500, so it wouldn't matter if we had Koufos or not.

Package Koufos, Prince and Pondexter in the deal to get Green or Deng and pick up Dalembert.

Here's what BHZ said a Memphis deal for Green might involve.

Basics of a Jeff Green deal would be Green for Tayshaun Prince and a pick.

Depending on what that pick is, hell of a deal 

 Green is on the books for a player option for 9 million next season

 

[awwsome]

Kosta a niece piece for Boston.

Sullinger going to flourish next to him.

Tayshaun and a pick? Really? Maybe they're throwing a bag of Fritos too...

 

[bhzmafia14]

As long as we keep Adams and our core, I'm fine. Keeping Koufos, while adding Green would be .

Honestly, whether it's Green or Deng, both would fit well as a 4th option. I like Green a little more due to him being a little younger and I think he just needs a better situation. He's also good friends with Lee, so there's a connection, which I mention weeks ago.

I'm thinking MIA would want Koufos, Prince and a pick. Where the Celtics may not want Koufos or really need him.

Not sure about the Grizzlies giving away another first rounder, but their window is now so I can't blame them.

West Arms Race.

Couldve easily signed a free agent or just waited until the draft & got a valuable big late in the first

signed who?

 

[sea manup]

 celtics are going to need a second dleague team with all the draft picks they have 

even a monkey would be able to build a contender out of all the assets they have 

 

[awwsome]

Ainge gonna mess around and have a whole lottery to himself one of these years.

 

[offset pow clow]

signed who?

Dalembert, JO

 

[pmatic]

If the answers are Dalembert or JO, I don't want to know the question. You already lost.

[senorroboto2k5]

Wright in Phoenix might be fun.

Meanwhile the Celtics added another future pick :x :x

Phoenix is sending Boston the first-round pick that it owns via Minnesota, league source tells Yahoo Sports.

Celtics are gonna end up getting Durant or Westbook when they ask out, because they have so many goddamn assets.
