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

[Vincent Van Goat]

I still think Dragic for Kanter is good for both teams

Make it happen

The Timberwolves' Zach LaVine single-handedly brought the dunk contest back!

Welp, better to have him tweet it than hearing him shout it during the broadcast . . . on every LaVine dunk.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Lawson, Afflalo and Lopez up for grabs

Midseason pickups are always a crap shoot

Could you imagine the butchering of the young man's name " Lavines"

 

[jumpmantwenty3]

Thunder would be foolish not to try to grab Afflalo

Also, IIRC when it was just Amare as the main guy, Knicks were actually a decent team. Then they mortgaged their future on Melo

 

[011781]

Aware want minutes and the green light to chuck at will and flourish on the glass, he better come to Dallas... whole team think they in range soon as they step in the gym...

 

[romcadoo]

Jermaine O'Neal still stealing checks?

 

[art vandelay]

^^^^ Nah,  I think it was said somewhere that he isn"t ready to comeback yet.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

This kobe interview already

 

[nelson999]

Is that rumor of Demarcus cousins trade to celtics truth?

in the sense that Bill Simmons always says that the Kings should trade him to the Celtics, yea

 

[awwsome]

Lawson, Afflalo and Lopez up for grabs

Midseason pickups are always a crap shoot

If the Rockets got Lawson they could win it all.

[bronconation24]

Bill Simmons is such an idiot

 

[awwsome]

Simmons is the homie, my favorite media guy in sports besides maybe SVP.

If you get jammed up don't mention my name?

I'd like to see MJ's playoff advance stats. Im sure they are still unreal.

 

[MVP]

On the advanced stats tip just quick check of PER, WS/48min, TS% and Value over Replacement players of some current stars and past greats.

These are career rankings in parentheses:

PER:
Magic-24.1 (14)
Larry-23.5 (1
MJ- 27.9 (1)
Barkley- 24.6 (11)
Kobe- 23.2 (20)
Lebron-27.2 (2)
CP3- 25.5 (6)
KG- 22.8 (24)
Duncan- 24.5 (13)
AI- 20.9 (49)

Win Shares/48 min:
Magic- .225 (
Larry- .203 (20)
MJ- .250 (1)
Barkley- .216 (9)
Kobe-.178 (4
Lebron- .240 (6)
CP3- .246 (4)
KG- .183 (30)
Duncan- .210 (12)
AI- n/a

True Shooting Percentage:
Magic-.610 (9)
Larry-.565 (96)
MJ- .569 (7
Barkley- .612 (
Kobe- .553
Lebron-.581 (1
CP3- .576 (61)
KG- .546
Duncan-.550
AI-.518

Value over replacement Player:
Magic- 77.4 (12)
Larry- 79.7 (10)
MJ- 104.4 (1)
Barkley- 93.5 (5)
Kobe- 72.3 (16)
Lebron- 98.6 (3)
CP3- 57.7 (25)
KG- 93.6 (4)
Duncan-85.0 (7)
AI-44.1 (39)

Just some reference, just looking at this MJ should be the undisputed number 1, Bron is right behind, and CP3 is a top 5 player in league history by the numbers, good thing that advanced stats are only a part of a player's legacy.

If the Rockets got Lawson they could win it all.

I think it all depends on Dwight's knee, if he doesn't get back to near 100% they're finished 

 

[pmatic]

@ShamsCharania Amar'e Stoudemire has committed to sign with the Dallas Mavericks, league sources tell RealGM.

Young Woj.

This.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Amare will be a nice old KMart type addition off the bench, except should produce even better numbers since he still has some left in the tank

 

[pmatic]

"Dirk, in the next eight months we're going to give you Tyson back, Chandler Parsons, Rondo and Amare. You just have to sign for $25M...over three years."

 

[suavamente]

Russilo on the other hand...

 

[dman14]

heard andray blatche is gonna get a big offer from his chinese team. may not sign with nba team this yr even though he had a few calls. thought he could help a contender if he decided to sign late in the season.

 

[antidope]

Wish we could have gotten him. For what he's probably gonna make its worth the risk.

I also mess with Bill Simmons heavy.
