Official NBA 2016-2017 Thread - 30 teams, 1 goal. 2 weeks left, so much can happen!!
They both play well against not God teams...neither will be a major factor against GS;and to be honest boston or Toronto won't have problems with them eitherYeah but picking up Korver and Derrick Williams tho
Nigga you are really stupid seriously...
I think Korver can offset Klay and Williams offers more than Frye or Jefferson IMO... Remember, hes a former lottery pick.
Man dont give that idiot any compliments
2014-15 season..
Korver is s liability on the defensive end and he will get destroyed against GS; did u see how they attacked him when they played? Cavs aren't good on defense and he certainly contribute to that; he offers catch and shoot but he's easy to defend; He doesn't move the meter at all against GS and other good teamsI think Korver can offset Klay and Williams offers more than Frye or Jefferson IMO... Remember, hes a former lottery pick.
Dude sanders if sign will be a non factor; there's a reason why teams haven't signed him and the cavs prefer bogut over him; that should tell you all you need to know
that's it...my goal this season is to see GS muthafuckin CRUSH the cavs in the finals...fuck dwill and anything he touch
Carmelo Anthony says he doesn't understand Knicks' direction
The New York Knicks did nothing at Thursday’s trade deadline, and Carmelo Anthony is as confused as anybody.
Knicks president Phil Jackson assembled a roster that was meant to win now, but instead is 23-35 and 12th in the Eastern Conference. Since a playoff run seems so unlikely, it would have been understandable if Jackson had sold off some role players for draft picks. That did not happen, and, after New York’s 119-104 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday, Anthony told reporters he doesn’t understand management’s vision.
From ESPN’s Ian Begley:
“No, not now. No, to be honest with you,” Anthony said late Thursday night. “I think they were kind of planning on the trade deadline, whether they were trying to make moves. I think that was one plan. Now they’ve got to get back to the drawing board and come up with another plan about the future of this team.”
…
Anthony said he had “no reaction” to the team’s lack of moves but acknowledged that it is frustrating to be unsure of the approach that management, namely team president Phil Jackson, will take with the team at this point.
“Yeah, I mean, nobody likes to be in limbo,” Anthony said. “We all want to know kind of what’s going on, especially when it’s involving you. But that’s not the way it is in sports. I don’t think I’m the only one that’s going through that or feeling that way. I think there’s other players who feel the same way, that they want to be involved -- not involved, but at least up to date with what’s going on. I feel like I’m kind of up to date as far as when it comes to me what’s going on.”
The uncertainty seems to be what is bothering Anthony the most. Most teams in the NBA are either looking to win now with established players or build for the future with young ones. A few clever teams like theBoston Celtics, Utah Jazz and Toronto Raptors have been able to do both simultaneously. New York is doing neither.
Anthony doesn’t know exactly what Jackson wants to do, and he doesn’t even really know that much about his own future. He has been on record saying that, if the Knicks decide they want to bottom out and rebuild, then management can tell him that and they can discuss their options. This hasn’t happened, but he had to answer a ton of questions about potential trades anyway.
As long as Anthony is in New York, there will be incentive for the front office to look for quick fixes and experienced players. That was what Jackson tried to do by signingArron Afflalo and Robin Lopez in the summer of 2015, then trading for Derrick Rose and signing Joakim Noah last summer.
This coming offseason, Jackson has to decide whether to try that again or just trade Anthony and build something new aroundKristaps Porzingis. Anthony would clearly like to be a part of that conversation.

we gone be sipping champagne in june while you and LBJ sip on your misery #warriors4life
Williams too...Damn..Cavs getting deep as shit. Signing bogut is the next move. He set the pace to keep the cavs out the paint last year...
Who can't play defense to save his life.. lmaooWelp.... Looks like LeBron got his playmaker
Dwill a bitch ass nigga and don't try and downplay the signing either it was a good pickup
Watch
Watch
great pickup
na it's not...yall barely experienced his bitchassness on the mavs...you'll see...you watch
Looks like Frank 'the Tank' Kaminisky might be a player after all! His Airness might have gotten this pick right
Man bogut is still a mavs....how long they gonna wait
Man sixers forgot he got send to the tankers

I will bet you 1 dollar that he won't do much of all with the cavs
; he will be a non factor come playoff time....
I will bet you 1 dollar that he won't do much of all with the cavs
I'll take that bet
I will bet you 1 dollar that he won't do much of all with the cavs
You hoping more than anything
That's a good pickup
I will bet you 1 dollar that he won't do much of all with the cavs
he will cause there's no pressure on him he's a backup guard come in and score some points 12 minutes a game and go sit his ass down somewhere.
it's all good
hopefully we can get more help too since it's ok to do that now.
Basically their philosophy to trying towards beating the Warriors is to wearing them down not trying to match talent with talent. (lets not kid ourselves this is what these moves are all about).
Even if the Warriors were to get deeper, anytime they sit Durant and Curry down its a win for the other team..
While in the finals the Cavs will still play LeBron and Irving deep numbers, but now when Durant and Curry sit, they will should have an big advantage with out having to still floor Irving and LeBron.
