Someone said that was Queen Tea but I was like naw it ain't him. Knowing his gay ass he would've had the gun in his mouth.

A faggot to the end
 
How am I wrong. I am still waiting to hear any one dispute how pat Riley is overrated

Last 10 years 3 titles

5 NBA finals appearances in 10 years winning 3

Back to back titles.

How the world is Pat overrated?

Didn't Shaq want the Miami trade in 2004? Riley just needed to put the pieces together for the trade. No Shaq, no title. And the Big 3 orchestrated 2010 and beyond.

The problem with playing Wiggins is floor spacing and outside shooting.

They should be able to get through most teams but when they face teams that can prevent paint points scoring could be an issue. Lebron nor Wiggins game is not really an outside game.

While they are talented enough to make a shot from anywhere on the court they will not shoot a very high percentage from outside alone.

Wiggins has a nice mid-range game. With Lebron, Kyrie will shoot over 40 percent from 3-point range this year. Waiters has a nice mid-range game. Waiters might float close to 40 percent(from 37) from 3 with more open looks thanks to Lebron.

A few pieces and they can compete with the champ out the West. Blatt is an important piece of the equation. He could Brown/Brooks this team or Popivich it.

Riley set up all the contracts to expire in in 2009. Now Wade could have come to Riley with the idea they wanted to play together and it was a possibility.

Riley made it happen by structuring all the contracts to expire prior to that free agent season.

The one thing that was learned from the Big 3 is that having role player be consistent is tough because of cap issues. Wiggins did not really impress me on the college level so I am not sure about the NBA>
 
Melo is on the cusp of making the worst decision of his playing career so I'm not anticipating his decision.
 
Trevor Ariza and the Rockets have been in talks

Seems like they might not match Parsons

As if they don't already know what Ariza brings to team since he has already played there before and the numbers weren't all that impressive

I have to ask what has Trevor Ariza done to get hyped up so much?

He is a flat out contract year player

He gets teams every time :lol:

and what would that be? :lol: man, people think everyone has the same value system.

some people would like a ring some would take 50 mil and chill on their own island.
 
Vince is going to Memphis?

Good choice

Melo is on the cusp of making the worst decision of his playing career so I'm not anticipating his decision.

What decision is that?

what do you guys think of gasol to the bulls?

They need him more than the Spurs

I'm not sure how the pieces to their team look

Noah, Gasol, Dunleavy/McDemott, Butler and Rose

That's an interesting line up.

To me the Nets problem is that they don't really have wing men. Last year they were top heavy with bigs and not may wing men who can play great defense and hit shots

Sometimes I really wonder why you enter basketball threads

So

KG, Lopez, Blatche and Plumlee(rookie) is top heavy with bigs :hmm:

They're saying Ariza might end up being the most overpaid person during this off season

For the teams that miss out on Melo, it's Deng and Ariza

They said dude might get over 10 mil a year...I'm like what the fuck. For a fuckin role player. :smh:

Oh it's clear at this point he is getting over 10

Wizards have a standing offer of 9 currently

And you know what he is as a player

He isn't getting any better

He is about to be 30

At least with Deng he has made a couple all star teams and is a clearly a superior player

But Ariza is being lumped in that 2nd tier when he is actually a notch below they

That MLE contract he just got done with is actually his skill leveland pay grade but this offseason teams have shown to be real desperate paying these role players

Look at the deals for Meeks, Swaggy P, Channing Frye, Collison, etc

The lockout changed nothing
 
Yup and word is Washington ain't going nowhere near $10 mil a year for him. And he (Ariza) is looking at the rockets because he know if we don't match we'll be desperate and Morey will over pay to get him here.

Missed on Bosh so now I'm looking at perimeter defense and I'd gladly pay for Deng

I called this yesterday, they need to start filling out their roster. Deng and Ariza's agents played this perfectly.

We're trying to do it with short term contracts

And they're doing it with long term contracts. The Heat will still have a pretty good team, especially in the east.

Fuck you can roll out a D-League all star team in the east and make the playoffs.

This was a good year to be a three, Parsons, Hayward, Ariza and Deng :smh: Four over paid muthafuckas.

To be honest....I didn't think Ariza year was that great last year. I honestly thought he would get something like a 3 year 20 million dollar type deal. They acting like he put up 20 points a game or some shit. There's guys like Ariza all over the league.

Rockets are just adamant on getting a guy they already had on the roster. From Lowry to Ariza. :lol:

He wasn't

He just performed his best during the playoffs.

And now it's like a player blowing up during the NCAA tourney. I think Ariza shot like 50% from three in the playoffs.
 
Deng ain't shit.

Wiggins is the real deal. The cavs don't really need positions or roles on the wings all of them are fluid

Yesterday Lebron was jesus now he ain't shit? the same thing they accused people of doing, they're doing now. love it.

kevin love and wiggins have just as many playoff appearances... fuck that bullshit

kevin love would be nice to add but he ain't no max player or a #1 option and wiggins has the chance to be that and much more for the city of cleveland after Lebron retires...
