Crashing this plane... with no survivors!
And with Lebron playing for MJeff, they could change the team name to Tune Squad.
The Bulls need to deal Rose and/or Butler this week.

Lebron James
Steph Curry
Kevin Durant
Russell Westbrook
Kawhi Leonard
Chris Paul
Draymond Green
Damian Lillard
Anthony Davis
LaMarcus Aldridge
James Harden
Poul George
Klay Thompson
I'm gonna keep a sharp eye on these players next season I think. Also Kyrie Irving, I really liked this player in the final.
Man those Kobe Bryant 24 jerseys on eBay are quite expensive. Like $230.

The Stages of Loss..
Team needs a rim protecting big man who can be somewhat of a threat on offense (just move the ball around). I think Myers is smart enough to not make a deal with the Dwight. I will put it out there though that Biyombo has the same agent as Draymond Green. Probably can't afford him but there's an outside chance that the Warriors might heavily pursue him.
To have a top players list without Klay Thompson, the best shooting guard in the world, is a travesty. Only guy with an argument for being a better shooter than Steph.

I can't see him leaving Miami.

I added him. Thanks!
He was also on the list on the ESPN link, but were only like #13. Had no idea he were the best shooting guard after Curry.CreeperBlocks

Kevin Durant is going to Toronto. Masai has something up his sleeve, I know he does.

I'm curious how Harden plays next year. You put up 29/7/6 and the only offseason award you get is a Shaqtin a Fool? I don't see how someone doesn't take that personal and comes out on a mission.
The Warriors should get Dwight Howard, if they had any halfway decent inside offensive big they would have won back to back
Howard brings rebounding, shot blocking and can score around the basket, GS needs that badly

Everybody is going to try to get Durant.

Durant ain't leaving OKC after their playoff run. He's going to sign a 1 year deal and wait and see what OKC does in the long term.

Yes but he's going to the Celtics.
I'd personally would take Paul George over 4-5 guys on that list.
Added him too, but I gotta limit it a bit, so I can follow them and see how they play. I weren't that impresse by Lebron in the final though, but I did like his 4th quarter and his block was epic.

I hope Al Horford will come to the Rockets. They really need a new center to replace Dwight after he leaves.
It's not recommended to have children for 2 years after playing against Draymond?
Warriors desperately need a big. I don't think they get past OKC without one next season (assuming KD stays).

doesn't he get a ring no matter who won the finals? That's insanely lucky if you ask me
Elite talent who is great at accumulating lottery picks for the Kings.

So I've only been starting to pay attention to basketball since the OKC vs GSW Finals. Can someone please explain how do the drafts work, and who are some players to keep an eye on?

Dwight.....a player who wants to joke around and have fun......joins a fun team........I could see that working. Plus the system easily could get him involved so easily compared to the shit in houston

The teams with the worst record are submitted into a "draft lottery" where they have a chance to get the top pick. The team with the worst record had the highest percentage chance to get the top pick, the team with the second worst record has the second highest percentage and so on...

Joakim Noah checks all those boxes
You're almost like me, I'm also trying to get into it all, and it's exciting. I made a list of the players I'm gonna keep an eye on here:
And in addition to the other links I also found this:
Also, Jarate is explaining the basics of basketball really well in these posts:
Basketball court and positions
Penalties, stats and strategies (I haven't read this one myself yet)

Noah is broken goods. If we got the Noah from 2-3 seasons ago, yeah I'm down. But he looks completely cooked.
I'm hoping Draymond is able to convince Biyombo to come over.
Draft prospects to watch out for:
Ben Simmons (rumored to go #1)
Brandon Ingram (rumored to go #2)
Dragan Bender (top international prospect)
Buddy Hield (top senior)
Jamal Murray
Kris Dunn (best pure pg)

Is that really a ring you would want?
ProvenDeadly

Noah would be a cheap situational big that can pass and still give you toughness in good limited minutes that's better then overpaying for a smaller Biyombo that has only been a flash in the pan. Then again if you guys can get Biyombo for a discount then definitely do that.

Man, I didn't want Chriss and I definitely do not want Dunn. I don't need another guard that can't shoot.
Noah fits the team perfect. Great passer. He's just a broken gimp.
but he played college ball. I really don't count him as an international prospect.
Yay enter the Dragan or Jaylen Brown who can't shoot too or take the other two guards that might top off as JJ Redick.. This blows...

Give me The Dragan. I want boom or bust.
Yeah, just realized what you meant.

Right Noah would've been perfect. I totally get that... But he's broken and we don't have the PHX Sun's Lazarus pit training staff (not knocking on ours).
I think the team needs to start thinking about developing Bogut's replacement at this point. I thought Ezeli would've been it but he's regressed so badly...
They already have great passing gimp in Bogut though.
