Support NeoGAF

[spyder_ur]

Only makes sense if they plan to extend him and trade. He is....not good.

No, he is definitely still a good player. The game has moved away from his playstyle to some degree, he seems to be aging quickly, and I know everyone is ragging on him because of the way last season ended, but he is still a 20/10 guy.

That being said, and knowing that on the internet a guy is either the best ever or totally useless, this still confuses me. Doesn't he have two years left on his deal? What's the rush to extend a 32 year old LMA? Perhaps they think they can get him at a discount.

Would you say he's Horford without the GOAT?

One thing he matches Horford on is his looks.

Nah, this is his last guaranteed year, next year is a player option.

"LaMarcus Aldridge and the San Antonio Spurs are engaged in talks on a contract extension, league sources tell ESPN." - @WojESPN

Uh, what?

I believe it was Zach Lowe who recently predicted Aldridge would get extended and subsequently traded.

Everything is proceeding as Lowe has foreseen.

 

[Bread]

You're right, that was wrong of me to say.

Horford is the most handsome man in the league.

 

[Gigglepoo]

I'd be pretty surprised if someone other than LeBron or Leonard won MVP. I think the best shot for someone other than those two would be some young stud taking a huge leap, maybe Giannis or KAT? But that's unlikely.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Predictions:

Easter Conference Champ: Cav
Western Conference Champ: Warrior
NBA Champ: Warriors
MVP: LeBrong
Coach of the Year: Snyder
Most Improved Player: Kyle Kuzma
Rookie of the Year: Kyle Kuzma
Biggest Baller: Lonzo Ball
Biggest Disappointment: 3 way tie between Kyrie, Tatum and Heyward
Paul Pierce Award for Biggest Shit Stain in the NBA: Al Horford

This post has been reported to the highest authorities as hate speech.

Except the coach of the year, that's good quality.

Don't call it a comeback. Been here for years.

 

[LegendofDragoonLives]

KD or Curry should win it if they win 70 times or so and it shouldn't be close for anybody else. However it's about narrative than any sort of critical thinking, that's why the dummies voted for a superstar carrying his team to an incredible 6th place in one conference last year!! It was just unbelievable that he took them in a position where everyone of those dumbasses that voted for him thought he would end up last season.

 

[manzoman96]

When are we drafting, my friend?

If we fill the rest of the spots today, we can try to do it later on tonight if that works for everyone. That way we'll be ready for tomorrow. maybe around 8-8:30ish est?

Picking the MVP based on team wins seems less than ideal.

Who is going to trade for him unless he has a come back year?

LD really should have beasted last year against small ball lineups. I liked a lot of the shots he was taking but he just seemed to miss all of them. Was that because he is washed up or was it something else (not healthy, loss in confidence, etc) where it could be different this year?

Dubs would still be favorites to win the chip if either KD or Curry went out for the season. LeBron seriously should be MVP every year. The Cavs would be bottom feeders in the eastern conference without him

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Milwaukee if they can be convinced they're getting the next you know who.

Jabari Parker for Aldridge.

There is never going to be another Cedric Ceballos.

He is not coming through that door.

LeBron is the best player in the league if you forget Monroe, but still, there are people with better regular seasons and thTs what matters

Winners should be rewarded instead of losers. This is how it's been most of the time and how it is in the much superior sport (soccer). Nobody would win as a feel good accomplishment-type of trophy over someone that won CL/Euros/World Cup because of how unfair the world is.

Lebron can be MVP when the Cavs don't underachieve every single year he's been there. They have 3 all stars in one team and the most expensive team in the entire league for years, maybe we should ask why this team is exploding when Lebron ball is not on the floor?

We can ask Kyrie since he just gave an interview explaining it

Can't even say I look forward to opening tipoff because Leonard is still out. Like, how bad could that calf be???

Celtics traded Isaiah and Ainge shit on him in the process. Friendship ended.

Dear Celtics bros, why is Horford literally afraid of rebounds as shown in that clip? I have seen him do it elsewhere last season too.

I mean your average 5 year old wouldn't flinch from a ball like that even.

Instead of going to the mods take it to the court like a real ass man.

Me and CD versus you and Bread. Because you have Bread we will do some things to make it a little more competitive so you can't complain afterwards. CD can only shoot left handed and in honor of the greatest basketball player of all time I will play without my glasses and blindfolded. That should mostly offset whatever negatives you have playing with Bread so you can't cry afterwards that Bread made you lose (not an unreasonable thing to say btw).

Winner is a verified Big Baller who will be allowed to leave the game in Big Baller brand clothing and shoes.

And loser is a bum ass bum. Loser has to go home wearing some British Knights or Jordans, whichever is more shameful.
