Official NBA 2016-2017 Thread - 30 teams, 1 goal. 2 weeks left, so much can happen!!

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

Say bro we're typing so long ass replies, not go it's your turn. Shit I got about one more in me, then I'm done

Man how the hell Lebron made this shit happen, when Lil Kev replied after being asked about Cleveland, "I'll go if Lebron sign.
The one person I'll say Bron had a hand in getting rid of was Waiters(only because he wasn't a catch and shoot 2 guard, he kinda did what Kyrie did on a smaller scale)

Blatt did it to him self with the hate of having to coach lil Kev.
Bron didn't help, but I think Blatt telling them it's me or him was the kicker.

Let's imagine them with Wiggins, like ive said before I would've love to see that happen. I've been on record of saying that. Wiggins and Lebron on the wings probably would've reflected Wade and Lebron to a degree(depending on Andrew's will on defense).

Had a lot to say Bruh!

I feel you... Ultimately he made Gilbert a very rich man... Him, Wiggins and Kyrie?

Pistons Have Solicited Trade Offers For Andre Drummond, Reggie Jackson
FEB 15, 2017 10:49 AM

The Detroit Pistons have been quietly exploring trade scenarios involving Andre Drummond and Reggie Jackson.

Despite both being young, talented and under team control for several seasons, the Pistons were disappointed with the potential return.


Drummond is unlikely to be dealt at the deadline.

Jackson could still be traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves, Orlando Magic, New Orleans Pelicans, or some mystery destination.

 

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

It is literally amazing how LeBron has improved his 3 point shooting since he came into the league! Dudes shit is damn near automatic when he's wide open! he can really stroke it!

LOL man
drummond?
If they trade drummond then I'm off the stan van pretty high i.q. basketball mind bandwagon.
he ain't the problem. not having a true point guard so they could play off the post is.

Absolutely! They are dumb as hell to move him! He's what, the 4th option offensively and has no real help defensively! Reggie Jackson needs his ass kicked tho... trigger happy ass!

4th option because they don't play through him. He actually has post moves and go to moves in the post. he rebounds defends and contests shots but the guards want to have all the shine mainly reggie im better than kevin durant and westbrook i don't want to share the ball so trade me jackson.

what the fuck is wrong with Monta Ellis this year? He looks like garbage this year. He looks 30 going on 36. Indiana needs to make some sort of move.

A testament to how good Chris Paul is. Look at JJ Reddick since he's been out. He's been hot garbage and the player he was before he got to the Clippers. It's a big difference when he has to create his own shot.

The Golden State Warriors have jumped in value by 37 percent to $2.6 billion and third in the NBA compared to sixth last season. Golden State had the highest average cable TV rating last season and have a season ticket wait list of 32,000.

The Warriors hosted 14 playoff games and during the NBA Finals grossed $10 million per game, before the NBA took their cut.

LeBron, Durant, Curry, Harden, Westbrook Comprise NBA's Top-5 In Total Earnings
FEB 15, 2017 1:27 PM

LeBron James is the highest-paid player in the NBA in terms of total earnings for the third straight year at $88 million. James has earned more than $600 million since turning pro in 2003. James’ salary this season is $31 million after re-signing with the Cavs this summer for three years and $99.9 million, while he'll make $55 million in off-court earnings.

James added endorsement deals with Intel and Verizon over the last year, while parting ways with Samsung and Tencent. The new partners join Nike, Coca-Cola (Sprite), Beats Electronics and Kia Motor in James’ endorsement stable with James “lifetime” Nike deal potentially worth $1 billion, according to his business manager Maverick Carter.

Kevin Durant will make the second most money this season with earnings of $62.5 million, followed by Stephen Curry at $47.1 million. Curry’s $12.1 million salary ranks No. 83 in the NBA but he will make $35 million off the court.

Rounding out the top five highest-paid NBA players are James Harden ($46.5 million) and Russell Westbrook ($41.5 million).

The Pacers are fuckin' joke. Sorry ass . . . We gotta mold a star that's not cool with Lebron. Maybe GRIII can develop into something special.

That's why Reggie was my guy. He didn't like nobody.

And crying ass Kyrie aka baby bron. When did he start whining like that? Next thing you know, he's shooting seven free throws in a stretch. I don't know if I like him anymore.

Anyway, can't wait for the break. Enough is enough already. Geezus.
