Random NBA Observations 2016 - 2017

[The War Report]

Shumpert is one of the most frustrating players in the league I swear..

Had a couple nice drives last night which resulted in a dunk and a nice up-and-under layup and he's always good for a crazy putback now and then, but it's like he does shyt like that only so often just to show people he has the ability. I don't remember who but some GM a couple years ago said that if Shump had ONE go-to move and was more aggressive at the basket, he'd be a 15M/year player under the old cap don't know if it's an issue with confidence or what, but he seems more capable than he lets on

He has the athleticism but is severely lacking in basketball skill.

Jah and the Lakers pick for McCollum

If the bulls were to trade jimmy butler this season or next summer, what would be a realistic haul in your opinion?

I said Lavine,Dunn and the wolves '16 pick.

Embiid and zingis? It woulda been wrap.

I think you could get a lot for him -

Nuggets - Murray, Nurkic, Barton and a first.

Blazers - McCollum + 2 firsts

The Wolves trade, but they'd probably keep their first and give you a protected future.

Suns - Chriss or Bender, TJ Warren and multiple firsts

Pistons - KCP, Johnson, Ellenson and a first

Celtics - Bradley, Smart and Nets pick



If he's really available you should be able to get a lot back for him, he's locked into the old max for a few more years.

Like the Nugs package but neither Murray/Barton can really play the 3 and Nurkic maybe redundant with Lopez outchea.

Murray ends up being the 1, eventually and they just play Barton off the bench.

Thank you to the commissioners @cook @Brooklynzson for the premier posting league on the net.

What's this and how does someone gets it?

Jah and the Lakers pick for McCollum

hell no...this makes the blazers worse

CJ/Dame can work however they need a defensive big like Noel. Once they break down the D he'll get easy buckets

Jah is a black hole at the moment best suited for the bench

Murray ends up being the 1, eventually and they just play Barton off the bench.

Both Rondo & Wade would be gone by 2018 (doubt they move either/both before that), so Murray makes sense in the long run, Barton not so sure. Still they'd need to play someone at the 3. Barton is like 180 lbs soaking wet and McDermott (injuries aside) can't guard a chair.

The Bulls aren't doing shyt anytime soon but I think they may be able to get much more for a 2 way star in his prime and a bargain of a contract

CJ / Lillard is the worst defensive backcourt in the league, they are a large reason why the Blazers defense is so bad. Portland is actually slightly above average as far as guarding the rim goes, it's their lack of rebounding that hurts them and the fact their guards are absolutely terrible defending. They envision Klay and Curry, but Klay is a + defender while CJ isn't.

I'm not up on the draft but I heard this will be quite insane when it comes to guards

Fultz, Ball, Monk, Smith, Fox, the french guy..etc

I'm pretty high on Murray and think he'll eventually be a PG, so getting him would be the big thing, and getting a first as well would help them land a SF. I think Murray has a really high ceiling.

so you want to bring Okafor who imo is below avg on the boards. Also you can't possibly think he fits in on offense

Noel makes much more sense. Jah is the new Big Al...he bench bound unless he improves his game/passing

The overreaction is amazing with this team. A healthy Aminu changes alot
