Can't have, hes someone Fat Elvis has great interest in. Hes been on our d-league team for a while now. And yea, hes turned it around in a BIG way. Dunno if the d-league has turned out any like him beforehand (in terms of improving his draft stock the way he has).

If the cap is right you can
But trading for picks is easy

Which is dumb. But i sort of get it in regards to it makes the cap situation weird to a degree.

Wizards for sure, if healthy, then it's between the Raptors/Sixers/Cavs/Pistons...I'd probably go with the Raptors.

Wow wasn't expecting that Doc trade to actually go through.
Not sure how I feel about it, though I guess getting Sterling to open up and finally pay a minority is a good thing. We're turning a new leaf everyone!

Are you sure? You can trade players for picks and cash
Just think the cap has to have space

I think they'll be better too, how much depends on how free agency plays out. We should find out soon, I love this time of year because trades should be coming left and right once July 1st hits.
Also, there's some dude on our Realgm board who's claiming that he interviewed for a job with the Bobcats and saw our draft board. He says that Anthony Bennett is the number one player on our board
He's short and doesn't play defense, I refuse to believe Cho likes him.
At this point? No. Just be prepared to suffer for at least a few seasons.
There was a time you could be called a bandwagoner al a heat fans now. So i think I should be ok now.
How is it bandwagoning when the best prospect for the Lakers is to tank the next season?
The Wizards and Sixers if Bynum is healthy.
The Lakers are always a gift trade away from contending.

He's a new NBA fan. Is there someone else he is supposed to like?

Bobcats
Darko was one of those guys who ended up being his own worst enemy. You would get glimpses of greatness from him, but every time he hit a slump, it instantly led to a 15 game streak of mediocrity.
No confidence

but wasn't that his best game? IIRC he destroyed Noel.

Ha! Ah man, that takes some steel in your spine.
Well Kentucky was garbage so a lot of people destroyed us last year =[
He had a good game, but I sort of contributed it more to Noel being bad than Len being great. Lots of silly bites on pump fakes and not pressuring his jumpshot enough. Honestly, Noel by the time of his injury midseason was worlds better than he was those first few games. He started the season off shaky.
Not saying Len is bad, just surprising to me that he's potentially risen to the top spot.

aka iby.h
Id say Cavs and 76ers. If the Cavs can get pierce too, id say its locked in for them.
Andrew Wiggins is coming this draft so if I know Toronto sports as well as I do I expect the Raptors to move as far away from even having a chance at drafting him this upcoming season.
Shame circle continues.

All aboard! The Love train!
I'm glad Taylor and KG are on good enough terms again to make this happen.
Taylor was never the problem. McHale was.
Of course, Taylor didn't get rid of McHale until like 7 years after the "Fire McHale" chants started being audible during Wolves games...
And remember, KG's first comment after the 2008 championship win was "This is for everybody in 'Sota." He never was on bad terms with us.
I have watched the past 2 years without having a team and from that time I have liked watching lakers. Thunder. Clippers and the spurs. I also quite like how Mario Chalmers plays. As random as all this is.
Its hard to pick a team

I thought Taylor had kinda thrown him under the bus after the trade, questioning his effort and such?
Whatever, water under the bridge, time heals all, etc. He's the best player that will ever play for this team, so they need to get him back in the fold.
I think Garnett's perception changed after the trade (I had soured on him for a time, for sure), but it'll be really cathartic when he comes back and they retire 21 and everything.

Come root for the Hawks with me, Messi. It's Olivia Wilde's favorite NBA team.
Lies she is a Knicks fan

If I were a new fan I would pick the Warriors. They're a young and exciting team with a pretty good future ahead of them
in be4 Curry's ankles
Wasn't that Noel's first game too? I wouldn't put too much stock in it. And I think len's rising mostly had to do with the uncertainty of Noel's knee. Which is kind of silly since Len has a stress fracture on his ankle and all..
After you said she was a Knick fan my post was "Well that makes sense because she likes taking it in the ass".
but that is Munn not Wilde.

Hawks are gonna draft Mason Plumlee aren't they?
-_-

Not a bad pick.
Bulls would be cool to see rose's comeback. Clips are cool too, but they're not doing shit
I laughed
Bulls are good also. Warriors havent seen much of outside of NBA tonight.
Why was rose out for so long?

What time does the celebration coverage begin?
Is there an easily accessible database which allows you to view career splits for a player under a certain age?
Like, say I wanted to see a player's basic and advanced stats from the years 2002-2008. Or their stats prior to the age of 30. Or their stats under the age of 29 excluding their rookie seasons.
I ask this because most players have their roles change throughout their careers but we get caught up in the career totals for stat comparisons. Like, I was looking through the NBA finals thread and I noticed there were discussions involving comparisons between KG, Duncan, and Dirk on their career regular season and playoff averages, despite differences in games played, ages, and, well, distribution.
IE: I'd expect KG's playoff averages to be lower than Duncan's and Dirk's because the vast majority of his playoff games have been with the celtics, on the back-end of his career. And I'd expect his regular season numbers to have had a sharper drop off than those of Duncan and Dirk because of the change in his role.
Similarly, I'd expect Kevin McHale's numbers to spike rather sharply during years 6-9 because those are the seasons he was a starter rather than a 6th man. His "prime" would be from ages 29-31/32, rather than 27-30.
