NBA Offseason 2016 - FreeAgency money dried up...Waiters gets $2.6 after OKC pulled $6+ offer...

Man Haslam was undersized.

Being undersized is not the issue. Haslem played like Rick Mahorn (who was only an inch taller). He played tough in the paint and would not hesitate to push a player on his ass in the paint with a hard ass foul. You're talking about rebounding which is a different issue. You made that same mistake last time we had this discussion. Defensive rebounding and defense are two separate things as I explained to you before. Love is a great career defensive rebounder was literally one of the worst defenders of all time, statistically.
 
NBA Finals isn't won or lost in 4 minutes. What about the other 44 minutes of that game and the games preceding it. Alright man.. don't listen.. just like I told yall it was major trouble when Bogut went out and yall didn't want to listen. He was only logging 15 minutes but he set the tone early and Lebron doesn't like a lot of contact in the paint. As soon as Bogut went out he started eating yall up scoring 40 points a game and shit..
None of that matters now..bogut is gone..cavs won..and now kd is on GS..let the games begin....
 
That game was lost in the last 4 mins. Without a rim protector or size the Warriors held the Cavs to one basket last 4 mins

You know the Warriors lost 4 games right? :lol: Don't be so stupid as to encapsulate the entire series into one 4 minute sequence. Lebron also played like ass during the last 4 minutes.. but what did he do during the entire series?
 
Bruh with Curry, Klay, Iggy, Durant and Draymond on the floor there will be no collapsing on him forcing him to take a contested shot.

The Cavs played them straight up.... which is easier if you default to shooting jumpshots. Durant along with Klay, Curry, and Draymond have to change the way they play if they want to maximize the performance of the team because shooting 30 (3s) a game is not the answer. It actually makes them easier to defend.

I think Curry need to become a better distributor. Green is going to run the offense a lot anyway, but Curry has to be a better passer and he needs to attack the basket more ...especially since he can shoot off the dribble and he's a great finisher. Klay can stay as a catch and shoot player.
 
We all know where Russ wants to go so hopefully Jimmy don't pull a James Dolan move and trade for a player who you can get in the offseason for cap space. No team is trading for Russ not knowing if he'll sign a long term contract.

Does he have a no trade clause? Just curious because if something pops up this year I wanted to know if he could veto it.
I'm reading wade wants more $$$ or @ the very least an additional year so 20+ for 2 yrs or exactly 20 @ 3 yrs...


Wade seeking more than Heat offer of $40 million over two seasons

THIS is where the Heat should see if they can put together something for a Westbrook trade.

You trippin if you actually believe that if the Warriors had Kevin Durant that he does not make a difference the last 4 mins of that game 7.

Argument makes no sense. During game 7 to win a title all they needed was one basket in the last 4 mins. Saying that having Durant during that time would have no impact is silly.

Durant's last game of the season was him having a complete meltdown over the last 4 minutes of a game.
 
Bills u think GS gonna resign Festus or speights?
They can't resign festus. Speights is probably gone as Zaza took one of the exceptions the Warriors had for 2.9

Speights made 3 million last season and would have to take a pay cut to stay for the vet min

Why can't they..they can go over the cap to sign him
 
Discounting the other 332 minutes of the series to try to make only the last 4 minutes meaningful is silly.
You using a strawman argument. The score was tied at 89 with 4 mins left. Who ever scores a basket wins. Saying Durant can't get you that one basket is silly.

Here is the situation

"The Warriors have limited resources to fill out a bench and acquire large humans, especially since they apparently chose Shaun Livingston overFestus Ezeli as the mid-sized salary to keep while squeezing in Durant's max money. Six months ago, Golden State brass prefered Ezeli, but they have no confidence left in his knees or his game. The Warriors have only the minimum salary and room exception, worth about $2.9 million, left to fill the roster. That buys you nothing in a world of infinite cap room. Jon Leuer is making eight figures."

Curious, why can't they go over cap to sign their free agent?

There are actually restrictions, though. As soon as the W’s go under the salary cap to make room for Durant, they lose all their exceptions except for the Room Mid-Level Exception, $2,898,000. A team may always add players at the league minimum salary (which depends on the player’s seniority). So they'll need to get players to take way less money and in this market, who is going to do that.. you got bums getting 10M a season.
 
GS was already the #1 offense and this is the replacement

"Durant will likely slot into the lineup in place of Harrison Barnes. Durant averaged nearly 16 points per game more than Barnes did last season. Durant also averaged more than three more rebounds per game and more than three more assists per game."

Anyone in their right mind would replace Barnes with Durant and the fucked up shit is Durant fits exactly what GS does... Now who niggas gonna worry bout defending on GS? Who gonna decoy? Man listen niggas gonna be hotter than bacon great if GS break their own reg season record

How you gonna game plan for these niggas on a night basis?

Not exactly true
 
Warriors will be extra weak in the paint and much thinner on their bench. They're pretty much depending on this starting lineup just to run your off the court. They don't have any money to fill out the lineup.

Goons to pick up lol
