NBA Thread

This would make UA his primary employer, right? Wouldn't that mean they could dictate whether he participates in certain things (olympics, all star, etc.)?

How does that work?

I have no clue but I would imagine that the NBA team he plays for (hopefully OKC) has the primary rights to dictate his schedule.

Minnesota made our real well in their deal for Love. Don't be surprised if they end up winning more games this year than they did last year.

 

[BRule]

So weird that YOU would say that....never heard you say that before...

 

[Heyward]

Depending what's in the deal...

Rubio
Martin
Wiggins
Bennett
Pek

Barea
Lavine
Dieng
Young

Is an interesting core.

 

[thethe]

They should trade Pek for future assets. Dieng is a nice 5 in the new style NBA.

 

[Heyward]

Love trade official, nice job by their GM, LeBron James.

The Cavs get Kevin Love.

The Wolves get Andrew Wiggins, Anthony Bennett, Thaddeus Young and Wolves will get a $6.3 million trade exception.

The Sixers get Luc Mbah a Moute, Alexey Shved and a 2015 first-round pick.

So Cleveland is the favorite to win it all huh?

Spurs.

 

[thethe]

Still has to be the Spurs. Then I think its a toss up between the Cavs and Thunder.

 

[yeezus]

Cleveland are a good amount better than LeBron's Heat were last year.

Cleveland are a good amount better than LeBron's Heat were last year.

And they got absolutely destroyed by the Spurs. It takes time for a team to gel together. The Cavs will be better in two years then they will be next year.

Yeah, I could see that.

Oh how nice it would have been to have a healthy Ibaka this year:

Such a weird trade.

Thought Thabeet was a stud though

But.......but.............but.........you said............

What did I say exactly?

 

[BRule]

What did I say exactly?

Something about him looking good and him improving and that he would be a good or useful player.

 

[thethe]

Something about him looking good and him improving and that he would be a good or useful player.

And he was useful but Adams ended up being really good really fast so Thabeat wasn't needed anymore. I said at best he would be a useful backup.

 

[BRule]

He was "useful".....really? As a tall dude, sure....not much more. He shouldn't be in the league, he can't play
