Random NBA Observations 2015 - 2016

They're probably gonna have to choose between him and Ezeli unless their owner is willing to be paying a shytload of luxury tax

he probably is

 

[jaguar paw]

Really good slate of games tonight.

 

[mastermind]

Anyone who invests max-money in him is doomed. He sucks.

he sorry but he fits that team.

But you would think they could find a replacement in the draft. But yeah, that basic haircut, stiff hipped, non dribbling, articulate to white ears clown is a bum.

I was just thinking the same. I was trying to see which one I'd want to watch and MIL/CLE, MIA/SA, GS/LAC are definitel must watches and then you still got DAL/POR, Utah/HOU, TOR/BOS, and WSH/ATL all with playoff implications and should be entertaining too.

My question is will the Warriors have any cap room if they don't resign Harrison. He fits perfect for them and I know they'll want to keep the team together but throwing 20 mill or more at dude just seems like the type of move that could cripple the franchise going forward. They'll be like the Lebron Heat in two years after Steph gets his contract and IMO Barnes just ain't worth all that.

Considering Klay & Draymond are on max deals and Steph will be a free agent next year, they weren't gonna have much flexibility regardless

LAC will continuously get smacked by GS as long as DeAndre Jordan is parked 30feet deep in the paint instead of switching to Steph everytime they run the PnR. Free 3s.

There's a huge difference thought between being over the cap compared to being hard capped at which point you can't use the mid-level exception or the mini mid-level and I think at some point I think you're even sign anybody even at the minimum contract. Not to mention the repeater luxury tax that every owner has avoided like the plague.

Aren't they both getting around 16 million-18 million? That's going to be more like 70-75% of the max after the cap increase so it ain't all that bad.


I disagree with letting Barnes go unless they can go out and get somebody else.

Steph is gonna be getting 30, Klay & Draymond both average around 16, Bogut & Iggy both make $10+ mil

Well yeah it wouldn't be like the Cavs are now but not a whole lot of flexibility

WCF gon be batman vs superman

And the Cavs gonna come through like The Avengers.

Too long to copy+paste but this is a good ass read on how Nike lost Steph to Under Amour. @ Kent Bazemore getting a deal for six figures annually from UA because he was selling Steph on UA during his rookie season.

Doc Rivers cannot coach shyt. He has awful rotations and needs talent to win more than talent needs him to succeed. He's a better version of Mark Jackson essentially, but they both have massive limitations in the x's and o's department.

Doc Rivers draws up great inbounds plays after timeouts, so I'm not sure the Xs and Os argument is legitimate. What coach DOESN'T need talent to win? Doc Rivers is just part of the Coli's policy when it comes to NBA coaching staffs. How y'all constantly shyt on Doc Rivers while propping up the Van Gundys and Rick Carlisles of the world is beyond me.

Barnes is hard to replace because he defend pf's well
