getbig's official NBA thread

[El Diablo Blanco]

he lost plenty in washington, and his star teammates didn't get hurt

or are we all supposed to pretend that stint never happened?

E

Yep basically. 

On a different note.  Rumors are the Lakers trading their 2nd pick for Cousins.  Interestating.

He was 40 years old dude.  You are ridiculous.

"I watch LeBron James, for example," he said. "He might [travel] every other time he catches the basketball if he's off the ball. He catches the ball, moves both his feet. You see it happen all the time. There's no structure, there's no discipline, there's no 'How do we play this game' type of attitude. And it goes all the way through the game. To the point where now guys don't screen—they push guys off with their hands."

Phil Jackson should concentrate more on the Knicks mess and the #4 pick and less on Lebron

[Hulkotron]

His first year on the Wizards, before he injured his knee in the 2nd half of the season or so, MJ was averaging 25 points/game, playing a new position (SF) against guys 10-20 years younger than him, at age 39.  He scored 50+ points once, 40+ points four times, 30+points 16 times, and scored 20 or more points in 35/60 games played.

He then came back from this injury and averaged 20 points/game while playing all 82 games at literally age 40.

Truly a dreadful performance

[BDsauce]

He was floor Jordan as a Wizard, so he played with his mind and fundamentals.

His speed and athleticsim in his Prime made him the most unstoppable force the game has ever seen...

This!

[Davidtheman100]

Should be alot of action especially in the NBA during this trade-deadline as it seems Celtics will/are heavily involved in many trade rumors as well as teams like the Knicks and Lakers...Will be interesting to watch tomorrow night/

[Hulkotron]

Jordan retired 13 years ago even if you count the Wizards years (for all intents and purposes he retired in 1998).

Will LeBron be on video game covers 13 years after he retires?

Sources told ESPN.com that Love notified the Cavaliers on Wednesday that he is opting out of the final year remaining on his contract -- worth $16.7 million next season -- to return to free agency.

Sources tell ESPN.com that the Los Angeles Lakers and the Celtics are among the teams planning ‎to make a run at Love in free agency. Sources say that the Portland Trail Blazers, furthermore, are likely to pursue the former Oregon high school star in the event that LaMarcus Aldridge -- as many league executives expect -- flees the Blazers in free agency.

Love missed most of the Cavs' run to the NBA Finals after suffering a dislocated shoulder against the Celtics when Kelly Olynyk pulled down on Love's left arm and yanked it out of the socket.

After he suffered the injury, Love was asked if he wanted to return to the Cavaliers next season.

"Yes," the power forward said on June 5. "I want to win."

[calfzilla]

Kevin Love would have a huge following with the Trail Blazers as he's a local guy. Maybe he wants to come home like LeBron.

Yes but doesn't mean he won't resign with the Cavs.  The Cavs can give him the largest contract allowed due to their CBA.

Silly right now to sign a long-term max deal if you are an elite player in my opinion, since the salary cap is going to explode year after next.  The "max" part of max contracts is defined as a % of the salary cap.

If he can get a one-year deal from someone else I suspect he's gone.

Don't know why all the boos from NY fans where happening last night..As if they've watched porzingis play a single game overseas lol? All the possible #1's asside from mudiay were already taken...And they needed a big man..So an athletic legit 7'2" guy who is young is not a good option? Very confused at knick logic? Maybe because he's not black? Who knows...All i know is Melo knew what he was getting into..And he CHOSE to take the money rather than go to chicago and want to win..He shouldn't be angry..On the other hand, Hardaway JR. should be a good addition to the Hawks roster and could provide some shot creation off of the bench..

no more than you guys criticizing lebron for not winning a title with players the caliber of jordan's wizards teammates, btw the wizards missed the playoffs altogether
