Mark Price has started working with MKG on his corner jumpers. I'm excited for vegas summer league to start so I can aee if his form has changed any yet.

i know about his PR stuff but i thought he was done with basketball. i didnt think he was rehabbing to get back in game shape since no one really talked about him last season.
so we signed CJ leslie for the summer league. what do you guys think of him? his highlights on youtube looked pretty decent when he was in NC state.

Those odds are terrible. Burke looks like he will struggle against bigger and better players. Oladipo is a huge project offensively so 0% chance he wins in. They might as well cut Alex Len off the list. Got to be McLemore as a favorite and MCW as a darkhorse to fill it up on a bad Philly team.Lets take a look at what Vegas says:
Trey Burke the favorite to win ROTY? Meh. I'd probably take Oladipo. Or Olynk as a dark horse. Throw a hundid on Olynyk and possibly be $900 richer at the end of the year.
And here we have bullshit. Rockets only behind OKC and the Heat to win the ship? Vegas is trying to scam some people out of money with that and I'm sure it's working.

Cavs offered Bynum a deal?
The Cavs construction of their roster so far has been such a joke with zero forward thinking.
An organization with no thinking is just the place Bynum should be.

So basically according to Vegas, the Celts are fu(ked, since they will sit in the middle of the pack for years to come with no chance at a lottery pick, unless they get rid of Rondo, and a few other guys to truly get into tank mode..... F you Vegas....

if you see me in a fight with a bear, don't help me fool, help the bear!
It's a one year deal basically..Cavs offered Bynum a deal?

What exactly is wrong with the Cavs trying to sign Bynum? It's not exactly a long term deal so theres not much risk but theres a ton of upside.

This. One year deal without giving up any asset. Why not?
Sorry Blackace.

What upside?
Look at the guys body of work. He barely contributed to the two rings that he has and beyond that his knees are probably more likely to explode than Oden at this point.
This guys knees have been getting opened up maybe 3, 4 times a year for the last 3 seasons now.
Thing is, the one year deal looks low risk, but if he comes in and plays 50 games, gets his knees lubed but puts up stats then you're just going to extend him or give him another year to do the same thing. He puts up the stats but has zero impact on your culture or long term prospects while destroying your tank ability and putting you on a treadmill and eating cap space.

I was thinking 15/1 is a damn good bet for the Pacers. They were in the ECF Game 7 last year ffs!
They're just jealous they didn't get their asses kissed like Dwight by the organisation.

1 year deal with a team option?
If he returns to form they can either sign him to an extension or trade him for assets either at the deadline or after this season. And if it doesn't work out then its not a big deal, hes gone at the end of the season
lol, they getting past the Phantom Pain Bulls or the Boston Nets? Plus if Wade is healthy this time... well you saw what he did to them in 11.

McLemore will probably come off the bench and barely get any looks on the Kings since there's so many chuckers on that team. He can't volume score either. MCW is going to shoot less than 35% from the field this year.
Might be interested in Olynyk, Karasev, or Noel with those odds given though...

None of the teams that are rumored to want him even have assets right now. Most of the tanking teams had or have cap space and they aren't going after him, so it's not like you're getting any value from a trade.
And the thing is--the fear isn't that he flames out and you cut him lose, the fear is that he is actually in that grey zone of playing 50-65 games his first year with the Cavs and looks good. He is just a grey zone--keeps playing 50-65 games, doesn't give you anything for the post season, doesn't have trade value, meh..
I think they did
They were never going to beat Miami
Fuckball just made the series unnecessarily long.

Why not? They're getting Danny Granger back. Paul George should be taking his game to the next level. David West is getting healthier. Roy Hibbert earned his contract in the playoffs. Bench can't get much worse than they were last year.
The Bulls should definitely be legitimate if Rose is back and healthy. I'm still not sold on the Nets. Heat deserve the 2/1 odds, but Wade's a year older and I expect to hear the same things about his knees in the playoffs next year.
Just saying that they took the Champs to Game 7 and should be improving. Those are good odds for that situation.

They gave them trouble, you really think lebron wanted to play 7 games? Give credit where due.
Wade's a year older but David West is healthier? I can swap the name's around.... plus Wade is dropping weight and working on his J, people want to act like his mid range game wasn't legit back in the day.

Rose is coming back.
And? What's Phantom Pain Rose going to do that MVP Rose couldn't do with an inferior roster to boot?

Rose didn't do shit when Bron was on that ass

you guys really think the heat will get to 4 finals in a row

Knicks have a shot.
They just need to kidnap Lebron and threaten the Pacers with something
CreepingFear

and what the fuck is he going to do when the Heat trap him, double team, and put Lebron on him during crucial moments like they did in the 2011 ECF? Thibs still hasn't taught his players how to deal with traps, that or they don't listen.

Yeah but being able to impose himself physically while driving is a big part of wade's game, if his knee causes him to slow down as well? Who knows?.....
On the flip I wonder is david west will be at peak condition (let alone healthy) without psycho T to spot him minutes going forward......

It's not doubting but bulls will be hungrier naturally. Heat won two titles in a row.
They just need to chill during the reg season, let the Bulls kill themselves for another #1 seed.

Lol people still talking about the Bulls?
Derek " Kaz" Rose doesn't even know who he's fighting for anymore.
