Random NBA Observations 2015 - 2016

[Malta]

How would Ingram? I think they shop it, but that's a luxury pick if they keep it.

3 first rounders, 5 2nd rounders (2 of them being in the first 5 of round 2)

I think they cash in and try to land a star (unlike @AAKing23 I don't see them going the route of Okafor because Philly has a war chest of picks already (Noel is a different story-- and he's a Boston local)

Ingram would fit in fine, they'd probably bring him off the bench next year and put some mass on him hoping to use him and Crowder as the 3 and 4 in a small ball lineup in the future. The issue with Hield is that they have Smart, Bradley, Hunter, Thomas, Young and Rozier, that's a ton of guards while they have just two SFs (Crowder/Turner).


Noel makes more sense for them than Okafor.

10 games start at 8 and the other 4 at 10:30. I guess that is for playoff position purposes so nobody loses on purpose

Probably just lost money in a bad bet

Can someone explain the draft pick situation
Cuz NY don't got they shyt.. LAL might lose they ish
I'm jus lost brehs..

Lakers lose their pick if it falls outside of the top 3.

Nuggets have the right to swap with the Knicks if the knicks pick is better and then whichever pick is worse goes to the raptors(from the bargnani trade).

1. Cousins
2. Noel
3. use the pick

Ideally, the Sixers would like to move Noel or Okafor for Butler as well as the LAL pick. Realistic, it's unlikely any of the aforementioned guys will be available for trade. From Chicago, they seem to want to keep their assets and keep building and Sacramento has shown no signs of wanting to move Cousins especially going into the new season in a new arena.

It's very likely that Philly will draft someone and hold on their assets unless a deal peaks their interest.

I think Philly will be working the phone to see what kind of offers they can generate for Noel and Okafor, especially Okafor.

Teams I am interested in the off-season is my team of course, Bucks, Celtics, Kings, Sixers, Thunder, Cleveland, Clippers, Lakers, Magic, Heat and Hornets.

In free agency, my team, Heat, Clippers, Bucks, Thunder, Nets and the Knicks.

Knicks are an embarrassingly run team/organization/ etc.

Noel makes more sense for them than Okafor.

Noel makes more sense for every team including Philly.

Nah, I think they go -


Simmons
Ingram
Bender
Poeltl

They're going to get a top 5 pick, and there are 4 guys they'd take and keep. They wont need to trade up as long as one of those 4 guys is still there, they'd probably want Simmons the most, but with how much Ainge loved Durant I wouldn't be shocked if they took Ingram 1 if they have the pick too.

I agree. I think that's the best way to look at it. If they land at 5, I think Brown is who they would choose.

Celtics kind of have to flip their picks for a star player though...

They have reached the point now where they got a good enough collection of good to role players and the only thing getting them to the next level is a star...specifically a big man...

I just don't see how they have any other option but to try and get Kevin Love or Blake Griffin or Okafor if Philly is ready to "rebuild"

Signing Howard or Handsome Al is something else they could do but seems really unlikely...

I think it's unrealistic to think teams will trade their stars today unless you trade a lot more than just those picks.

 

[Jplaya2023]

Spurs will play all d leaguers to ensure dallas wins on wed so they can play the grizzlies in round 1

I wonder if Dallas can win some games against OKC but for the first time in years the East 1st round seems more exciting than the west.

Also I was saying that the Raptors are gonna upset the Cavs but I gotta take it back now
This is the exact opposite of last year when LeBron lost his three pointer heading into the playoffs. This year he has his confidence back again. 7 threes the last 2 games.
52% from three last 10 games. I've been saying that it's not his legs are dead like everyone claimed but just mostly his confidence. Now that he hit a few, he's fine again.
