2017 NBA Off Season Thread: Draft & Free Agency & Summer League

[southsil4lil]

What intrigues me the most about this move is how we implement Chris Paul's mid range game into our offense....you dont trade for a player with one of the best mid range games in the league without any plans to utilize it

I think this really going to help diversify our offense and keep it from being so predictable and make it much more efficient expecially in late game situations

Going to be interesting to see how it works out

Doc rivers gon get fired eventually.. dont think he wants to steer the tank anyways lol

and wtf knicks you stay away from masai!

Hell yea. Read about balmer at microsoft. Dude is ruthless

 

[DaBull]

Kawhi >>> Harden

CP3 gon learn when the playoffs come and Harden don't have anymore fucks to give

Aldridge on the pick and pop w/ cp3 with kawhi on the wing...woulda been a scary sight...oh well

 

[Breezy_Kilroy]

Apparently Blake is expected to stay with the Clippers now

Guess he really don't fuck with CP3 like that.

Mostly likely apart of the CP3 deal

It's funny so many people are down on Frank Ntilikina. A lot of folks said the same stuff about Kristaps when he was drafted and the kid has so far turned out to be really good. Frank is a big point guard with long arms and good athletic ability that has started in a decent league overseas. I wouldn't be surprised if he turns out better than all the people that the fans were clamoring the Knicks to pick instead of him.

If the Knicks could get Masai Ujiri that would be big. Tim Connelly from Denver is a guy who most haven't heard of that would an underrated steal if they could speak with him

I'm banning myself if he's better than Dennis Smith. This ain't like that for me at all though, I was the only nigga here (I'm sure there was probably at least 1 or 2 others) that was LIT when Porzingas got drafted.

I watched that workout video and was blown away by.

I watched Frank's workout video and was enraged lol

Dennis Smith got drafted by a solid team with a great coach. Hopefully he doesn't fall into Rick Carlisle's dog house quickly. I see Ntilikina at the very least being a solid starter barring injuries while a guy like Dennis Smith could very well wash out quickly due to a numerous amount of things people are over looking about him.

1. Can and will he use his athletic ability to guard adequately

2. His wingspan is the same as his height which isn't gonna help him defensively

3. He can't guard multiple positions

4. He is just a solid shooter at best right now.

5. with his lack of wingspan his finishing at the rim might not be as good as it was in the NCAA

I honestly think Smith fell to a good spot because of the coaching aspect but Rick has been known to have a short leash with rookies. I'm not saying Ntilikina is a better player but I feel at the very least barring injuries he will have a long career in the league due to him being able to guard and play multiple positions right out of the gate. Both are young and will hopefully get better but I'm always leery of the super athletic, small wingspan, scoring guard types. Everybody in the NBA is either super athletes or have crazy wingspans so surviving off of just being athletic doesn't usual cut it. Unless you have a crazy mix of athletic ability and size

Rockets owner smart getting this done now because in the new CBA new non-guaranteed contract won't have money trade value

Back to the basement for the clippers. They had a nice 6-7 years but is back to being the Lakers' lil brother it seems..

Funny thing is, they have NO young players unless you wanna count Austin rivers

 

[D. Morgan]

Damn with all thats going on with the clippers. Wonder if they still plan on building them a new arena?
