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

[ASE]

Most Knick fans don't even want Carmelo. Not sure where yall are getting info from.

Idk if it's most, but, I will say, his supporters are WAY more vocal so it makes it seem like it's the opposite. Melo is my guy but he really has no excuse if you put him in the superstar category, which most of his supporters do.

@daldridgetnt: Paul Pierce will not do exit interviews w/media in D.C. today, leaving open his plans for next season.

I think he'll be back. Emotions got the best of him following the game on Friday.

He means SO much to this team. From his leadership to clutch factor, this guy was the best thing to happen via FA since Gilbert Arenas.

Not that he would do it, but when he does decide to retire, I hope the Wizards bring him back in some sort of coaching capacity. He has a lot to offer.

It's been a treat to watch him ball this year...ya'll C's fans had it good when dude was in his prime.

LMA had successful thumb surgery this morning. 8 week recovery time.

Good news for Dallas.

 

[comptonprince]

Good news for Dallas.

U think he gone?

 

[Hahahaha]

I think he's definitely leaving Portland. No idea where he's going though.

Brooklyn really got rid of everything for KG and PP and then didn't even attempt to keep PP. Just let him go.

 

[shoeking2102]

Hmmm What makes you guys think LMA is leaving?

 

[Hahahaha]

Bigger markets and better teams are why LaMarcus is out of Portland. Portland is cold, gloomy and small. That's not a place for a young millionaire. Still a beautiful place though.

 

[awwsome]

U think he gone?

Yup, he wants to be a franchise player and Portland is obviously building around Dame.

I also feel like that Portland squad has reached its ceiling, Dame still gonna be a turnstile on defense, Wes got a long road back to full health, Batum is never going to be the player people thought he could.


But they do have the ability to drastically change their roster with all their expirings.

What do you think about Greg Monroe on Portland?

 

[awwsome]

What do you think about Greg Monroe on Portland?

I like it, he's 24 coming off the best year of his career and hasn't hit his prime.

I think he and Leonard could be a really good combo, the spacing on offense would be phenomenal.

 

[shoeking2102]

I honestly hope Portland doesn't think Dame is the franchise cornerstone to build around.

He's not good enough to be that. 

He's steph curry minus the ridiculous efficiency 

 

[jinkazama]

Wow...Portland wants to build around Dame...Really?

 

[georgescorewell]

Yeah, Dame fell off hard after the all star break. Hopefully next season he'll come back much more focused.

That's what I was thinking. If we lose LMA, but pick up Monroe and re-sign Lopez... I'd be happy.

Also hope we can keep Wes on a discount but *shrug*

I still think Wes gets his on the market, but perhaps his achillies discourages certain suitors.

The SG market this year is paper thin... that's my one worry in all of this. He loves Portland but someone is going to open up the checkbook. I can feel it.

 

[awwsome]

You could always pivot and go after Middleton.


I think Wes stays though, just hope he's still the same player.

 

[awwsome]

Also wondering what the Pistons are going to do with Jennings and Shmurda.

 

[Chester McFloppy]

Me too.

I had no idea how many players on the Spurs are UFAs/RFAs... goodness. :x

 

[hypebeast5]

Derrick Rose and Jimmy Butler are allegedly beefing

 

[ricosuave89]

Also wondering what the Pistons are going to do with Jennings and Shmurda.

I'm going to assume they keep both. Jennings expires after this season too.

They'll for sure trade either Jennings or Shmurda (Probably brandon) and promote my bro Spencer to an upgraded role. 

In all seriousness though, They are very high on him and for good reason. He really performed well for them last year when he got run. Very capable moving forward.

Dinwiddie was playing well after the Jennings injury, and had some good games. I liked what I saw of him this season, and am hoping for some lottery luck tomorrow.
