lots of speculation that Kawhi is going to the Clippers. That'd be major.

also that the Lakers are trying to get Anthony Davis, which I think we predicted in the 2018-2019 thread.

also... i'm surprised Bol Bol isn't higher up in the draft.

I'd like to see MIA pick him up: Bam, Whiteside, Bol Bol. Huge squad. But there's talks of MIA trading Josh Richardson to the Pelicans, in some 3 way trade where the Lakers also get Davis, and MIA gets the 4th pick.

some serious footage right here. crazy potential considering he's 7'2 and moves/shoots like this:

I think any AD to the Lakers trade will be a 3 team deal. I understand the Lakers have the leverage considering ADs known want to play there but LAs refusal to add Kuz to the deal seems like a breaker.

I said last year any superstar to the Clips makes them incredibly dangerous. That squad to me is one go to guy away from making noise. Good team D all around. Strong on the boards. Versatile on the perimeter. Great bench led by a legit 6th man in Lou. All they need is a crunch time guy. The rest of the squad plays their roles exceptionally well.

I really like Richardson. (Not just because he went to a local college lol) Dude shoots, plays D, and is sneaky athletic. I was glad to see him get burn in Miami

Kuz is ok but I don't understand how that holds up a deal like that, lmfao.

OMFG.

"The Anthony Davis saga is over. Early on Saturday afternoon, the New Orleans Pelicans reportedly agreed to a deal to send Davis to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart and three first-round picks, including the No. 4 overall pick in this year's draft."

that's a disgusting duo.. LEBRON & Davis. oh man.

glad to see Lonzo shipped out, lmao.

yup for sure. damn @ the prospect of Kawhi going to the clips.

Lakers with Lebron/Davis would be insane tho.

definitely not CBosh 2.0 lol. Davis is a total monster. LEBRON, to me, would love to be able to take a back seat, he's all about preserving himself for the playoffs. If he has Kemba & Davis out there to take a brunt of the load, he'll be pretty fresh come playoff time.

i imagine the biggest thing on his mind right now is just staying healthy this year then going all out in the playoffs and trying to get back to the finals.

Lakers will be absolutely nuts if they can snag Kemba.

There's a few teams out there who might be able to match some of these super moves. Would have been even more epic if Durant was going into next season healthy, fu*k. Will be curious to see where everything lands.

This draft class should be an epic one too.. lots of beasts in this draft.

I'm most excited about 2019-2020 because of ZION. That's who I really want to see. Would be sick to see the Pelicans assemble a playoff team too.

Oh AD is for sure more talented than CB (or KLove for that matter). Historically Brons game hasn't matched well with in inside out PF (talking about production/efficiency for said PF), but AD is more versatile than CB or love. I agree if they get Kemba that's a loaded squad for sure even with an aging LeBron.

Makes you kind of wonder a big what if tho. Say KD doesn't get hurt and sees this love go down (before the trade/signing period is actually open). Everyone had basically said he was gone from GSW but with that kind of Lakers squad he may well have realized 'damn, they're stacked, I better stay' lol

A lot of NBA teams are still in the 1970s in terms of scouting. Pels probably one of them. How can you not get Zion and AD together and explain to them what the 2 can do?

Zion + AD  >>>>> Lebron + AD

There isn't another Zion just like lebron. but i have a feeling pels are going to butcher zions talents

I think AD has been burnt by the pelicans and like you said I think they'll do their best to butcher Zion too. I'm super interested to see the lineup next year though. Zion, Ingram, Ball, Hart, Holiday, Randle, Okafor. Sounds like they could do some damage.

i don't get the "butcher zion's talents" stuff.

if they play him too early, he'll just get more playing time, and he'll get better.

I still remember LEBRON's first game w/ CLE against SAC, like it was yesterday. it was incredible. CLE sucked and they didn't build anything around LEBRON, but he still became great. I'd have loved to see AD + ZION but AD was already gone.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLjH0rrNFeU



man o man. can't wait for ZION's first game. will not let anything interfere with me watching that.. lmao.

Butcher probably isn't the right term. Maybe just "do nothing to develop" is a more accurate description and if he has the drive to do it himself that's great. Could easily get lost along the way though.

no where else in the world is bball culture as strong wow!

they have one team & they've produced a few talents.

definitely not better than RJ Barrett.. not yet anyway. it's not even close. RJ carried Duke when ZION was out. Reddish struggled often, but showed signs of being great. He couldn't put it together consistently like RJ can.

Kemba to BOS is odd. from one pg to the next. But Kemba seems like he'd be a good fit, and i'd take Kemba over Kyrie any day.

Seems like it's settled now that Kyrie is too difficult to play with.. BOS turned out very different than expected this year, and every finger is pointing at Kyrie. So much talent but apparently he's causing lots of tension/issues behind the scenes. weird stuff.

Kyrie + KD would have probably been an epic combo in the East tho. Apparently Kyrie doesn't want to be the #1 leader on a team lmao.

lac has montrez herrell who i believe was better right out of colelge just like Don mitchell and others, the nba tends to ruin some players because of lack of training schedule like NCAA

yup motrezl is great, he's an absolute monster and wouldn't be surprised if he's all-star level soon.

LAC still has lou and motrezl, that squad is going to be brutal.

probably pick up a few more solid players looking to nab a quick championship. that was starting to happen for LAK, but now LAC stole the thunder (no pun) 8|

Westbrook is a beast but, not exactly sure of what to think yet - tho I guess Westbrook might be even more of a threat in the East. Westbrook is an absolute monster, this is definitely exciting. It'll be fun watching him in MIA, going to be highlight szn down here.

The East is pretty open right now.. MIA didn't prepare for it too well but SOMEHOW pulled some serious magic to make these two trades happen.

Westbrook, Butler, joining Bam/Dragic/Winslow/Olynyk etc.. I think we still have Waiters, James Johnson, Jones Jr as well? Now Meyers Leonard & Herro seems solid?? If so, very solid squad right there.

uhhhhhhhh.. no.

but seriously westbrook has 0 finesse on his shots, has probably one of the worst square up and follow thru's today....

ya but he doesn't need finesse on his shots. he can get to the bucket, rebound, assist, etc. if he had more finesse on his shot, nice. but he's still averaging triple doubles for entire seasons.

when it comes to winning championships, i'm not high on westbrook (he's kind of "melo-ish" to me). but he's one of the best in the game right now.

ya. they both demand the ball so much. but maybe that's good.. because the previous Houston team had a big problem trying to get the ball out of Harden's hands.

Harden just dribbling the shot clock down, then taking crazy shots. Maybe he needs someone like RWB to demand more positions, and make it look like "normal" basketball.

so it could actually work .. but their personalities could also end up clashing & it could turn into a train wreck if they realize they won't be a real contender.

curious to see what happens.

and ya, damn @ OKC. big moves for a big rebuild.

Right and it just might work considering their already established friendship.


Agreed on the OKC reload, ESPECIALLY if they draft like they did a decade ago (KD, Russ, Harden, Ibaka). SMH. I can't believe.they broke that squad up!

I never know what level of bullshit meter to apply to the sports journalists in the US. Here in Aus there's about a 50/50 ratio so it's pretty easy. The market is that small that there's only a few journos who will go off the reservoir. From what I see though on ESPN and Undisputed, etc it could be 80/20 over there. Most of what I watch these days I write off completely.

ESPN is awful.. I like Jalen/Paul Pierce etc - ie real pros.. but Smith/Kellerman? awful.

basically, if a sports analyst "yells" and goes on some kind of loud preacher-like rant, they are full of shit. That's Smith, Kellerman, and a bunch of folks on ESPN. It's just theater.

As for ZION ... i dno. I don't see how him being 285, 300, or 265 has any affect on him taking a knee-to-knee collision. Being 285+ might take it's toll on him in an 82+ game season, but we don't have an idea yet. He was doing great in college before his shoe imploded. Would be great if he ends up being LEBRON-DURABLE in the NBA - tough to do tho.

Amen. The only non ex player with a decent analytical basketball mind? Chris Broussard. The rest are just spouting narratives.

FWIW I'm in the "Zion could stand to shed a few lbs"  camp. First he's NOT as lean as they make him to be. He could easily lose 10-12lbs without sacrificing strength and gaining explosiveness. Additionally a 82 game (+playoffs) season is physically taxing. I read once that the average guard/wing loses about 15lbs throughout the season. That's a significant amount of weight lose via cardio considering they have top flight nutritionist/dieticians and training staffs on hand 24/7. So anything to put less stress on his body would help. Hell, given the increase in game pace even LeBron looks like he's dropped a few lbs. The game is less physical and more speed now.

Granted... That also means he can use his strength to his advantage of played correctly.

basketball players (high school through college) lift now more than ever before.

70's, 80's, and 90's era basketball was some of the toughest around, hardly any of those guys lifted. all they did was hoop.

the "stunt your growth" & "it'll make you slow/tight" stuff was popular for their generations, it isn't now. weight rooms & facilities were hard to come by, now they are everywhere. every athletics program (especially in college) has s&c coaches who make their athletes lift.

lifts aren't magic.



we all know the truth why these guys are getting injured so much. they dont do the proper lifts.

no.

That was back in a more physical era were size mattered more. This era is speed and skill based moreso. He has all the skills to excel: great handle, explosive quickness, can shoot, can finish well with either hand, great vision/passing ability and, the kicker, he can ACTUALLY run the PNR coming out of college!!!! The only question is will he defend his position well and with his athleticism, that's more of a learning angles/strategy and having a want to play D.

makes me question nba regiment vs ncaa......

i imagine it's just zion. he's massive. hopefully he's not going to be knee-injury prone etc. it does seem like he became more injury prone after his shoe blew up though :/

Heat/Bucks.

what a game.

heat down 70-50 or so at half time.. end up going up 8 with a few minutes left in the 4th. but then we start missing every free throw.

ends up going to OT.. keep missing ft's.

have the lead but let them back in, more missed FT's.

but finally pull it out.

this heat squad is awesome. i loved the last 2 years but this year we're even better. and Butler isn't even playing yet..

man that is surreal. nuts.

https://www.nba.com/article/2020/06/04/board-of-governors-approves-nba-return-official-release

Quote
NBA Season Restart: Competitive Format Plan

The 22 returning teams for the season restart would be the Milwaukee Bucks, Toronto Raptors, Boston Celtics, Miami Heat, Indiana Pacers, Philadelphia 76ers, Brooklyn Nets, Orlando Magic and Washington Wizards from the Eastern Conference and the Los Angeles Lakers, LA Clippers, Denver Nuggets, Utah Jazz, Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets, Dallas Mavericks, Memphis Grizzlies, Portland Trail Blazers, New Orleans Pelicans, Sacramento Kings, San Antonio Spurs and Phoenix Suns from the Western Conference.   

Each returning team would play eight seeding games, as selected from its remaining regular-season matchups.  At the conclusion of the seeding games, the seven teams in each conference with the best combined records across regular-season games and seeding games would qualify for the playoffs.

If the team with the eighth-best combined record in its conference is more than four games ahead of the team with the ninth-best combined record in the same conference, then the team with the eighth-best record would earn the eighth playoff seed.

If the team with the eighth-best combined record in its conference (Team A) is four games or fewer ahead of the team with the ninth-best combined record in the same conference (Team B), then Teams A and B would compete in a play-in tournament to determine the eighth playoff seed.  To earn the eighth playoff seed, Team A would need to defeat Team B once and Team B would need to defeat Team A two games in a row.

The 2019-20 season would conclude with a traditional playoff format with best-of-seven series in the first round, conference semifinals, conference finals and the NBA Finals.

Yeah I was meaning due to the restrictions on players being able to participate in the movement for several months. I think a lot of them would be getting frustrated being sidelined for that long.

i loved it.

been saying it on this forum for probably a decade, can't wait until athletes really band together and use their voice/demand change.

so much power.

i like how they are making a statement and then also continuing the season. not like i care if they continue it or not, but the idea of them taking a stand, demanding changes, having their demands met, then continuing on with their platform is pretty sick.

wouldn't mind at all if this happens more often.

i love russell westbrook but my god he sucked last night. sloppy turnovers early and late.

also dennis schroder was freaking terrible. looking at his stats, i guess he's good, but man any time i watch him play he looks like the guy in the pickup game who thinks he's 50% better than he is.

i felt bad mentioning how bad RWB played last night, that's how awful he was down the stretch especially.

he's definitely "not himself" in HOU.

if they lose to OKC, that harden/rwb experiment is definitely over with.

Lakers playing alot better. HOU keeps closing the gap, then LAL breaks it open again.

curious to see how this ends up. HOU seems like they are still in it. surprisingly impressive ball movement, leading to some big 3's by gordon etc.

jay-will just said "RWB needs to slow down, he's playing way too fast" -> truth. hah.

78 - 75, LAL.

gordon/harden draining huge 3's.

HOU's ball movement is way better now. Harden figured out how not to just drain the shot clock (this season/post season).

LEBLOCK strikes again.

NASTY.

Never has it been more evident of how much of a superior being LeBron is. Even at his age. His ability to wait for the block and get up so high so quick is insane.

Watching that game yesterday reminded me so much of why I love basketball.

ya man he just does the next level stuff.

his team doesn't impress me much.. they seem so "disjointed". when LEBRON is on the court though, hard to count them out of anything but title contention.

also same.. absolutely loving these playoffs, like usual.

If the Lakers can bring the intensity on D like they played yesterday then they can go all the way. Can't imagine they can keep that up though.

Also shits me to tears how little they use AD in the post against Tucker or any of the other Hou defenders. They guy has like a 27" height advantage.

we can't also forget that Rondo was hitting 3's.. that's not going to happen every night.

take Rondo out of that game 3 scenario (just defense/assists, no significant offense), HOU might win that game.

expecting a close game tonight.

seems to me lebron is carrying this team every bit as much as he carried cleveland 15 years ago. AD is a better player than any teammate he had back then but if i just feel like if it were AD's team they'd already have been knocked out, or maybe not even made the bubble. he's just missing something that lebron and very few other players have. that ability to just decide to take over, and then do it, on both O and D. who else in the NBA has that gear right now? maybe kawhi?

100% agree.

this team is pretty bad.. AD is legit, but without LEBRON he probably wouldn't get them to the playoffs.

meanwhile, LEBRON prior to getting hurt last year, had an even worse team in the playoff race.

compared to the clippers.. this Lakers team is awful. but if they end up matching up, as long as LEBRON is in it, it'll be a series.

DEN takes out jokic & murray..

then some dude on DEN drives to the rim, thinks he's fouled, throws his arms up, doesn't get back on D, and Kawhi hits a 3.

if there's any time to just get back on D and not complain at all, it's when your two allstars are on the bench and you're up 4 with 10 to go in the 4th.

heat switched it up to more inside ball, pick & roll, lobs, driving etc.. huge change.

this is great. stop relying on the 3 ball 100% of the time.

BAM IS CRUSHING IT. which he is capable of. stop making him so passive sitting at the top passing the ball. he's a solid scorer.

i def believe brown/tatum had to be separated .. during the game, brown had one moment where he BLEW UP on tatum during the game... screaming at him for the ball. Brown looked so pissed.

lol. in the last round he said the nuggets had "no chance" to beat the clippers. so funny.

he also said the Trail Blazers would sweep the Lakers in the first round. yea he's awful when it comes to nba predictions :f

the theme is.. after one game, people make their picks. so, one bad game-1, and oh man it's sweep/no chance etc.

Jokic/Murray last night getting into foul trouble in the 2nd quarter, mixed with some of those bad calls (in the 2nd mostly), changed the game drastically. I don't expect them to get destroyed next game. They showed good signs of being able to hang.. Refs will review that game I bet, and realized they made some really bad calls. They will call more on Howard and less on Jokic next game. Howard also took a swipe at Jokic's head, that I don't see anyone talking about. Pretty sure the league will see it.

yeah i was disappointed, too. but like AD said afterward, as a star, you want to be given the chance to take shots like that, they're what define your legacy as a player. respect to him for draining it and making it look easy.

watching him and jokic go back and forth for the last couple minutes of the game was so fun. i hope denver gets a couple of wins just to prolong the series.

ENORMOUS W by MIA.

without 2 of their starters, end up getting the W, behind JIMMY MOTHERFUCKIN BUCKET's 40 point triple-double.

man he looks like D-WADE out there.

crazy.

Just huge!!! LA had no answer for him. Hope he can keep it going into next game.

yea man. :wowthatwasnutswtf: :wowthatwasnutswtf: :wowthatwasnutswtf:

hoping as well.

LA played pretty decent, but still got beat. that's a good sign for MIA. man we need BAM back, hopefully on tuesday.

LA is just draining so many damn 3's.

so glad the refs called those travels on LEBRON. finally. we need some (legit) makeup calls in this series. :ninja:

pc!

tough L for MIA. played them close all game.

KCP comes thru in the end and lights it up in the 4th. he's been great all series. a real thorn in the side of MIA.

game 5 on FRI.. DO-OR-DIE.

Herro is the real deal. Jimmy needs to be way more aggressive, like he was in game 3. Bam played great back from injury.
