Around the NBA 17.0 - Screw GSW

Clippers Willing To Deal Blake Griffin For Durant In Sign-And-Trade

What a joke of a franchise. Well this is really good news for us... or me depending on how you view it.

Blake as a 2017 FA target seems a lot more realistic now. Definitely more realistic than acquiring KD.

That team almost sounds too good to be true. If they ever got together someone (Curry or Durant) would probably get injured before they could do real damage.

you shut the league down. i believe that would be even more lethal than the Big 3 simply because GSW are already established champions

Yeah but they'd be 1 KD foot injury/Curry ankle injury away from missing expectations.

Look at the Heat with LBJ and Wade, Wade's health started to decline after their first year together and unlike KD and Curry, Wade didn't have previous injury history other than the freak shoulder injury that occurred by accident.

It's a fun fantasy, can't see it happening in a 1000 years.

you could say that for any team right now though. you don't focus on that. THe fact that if curry goes down you still have KD and if KD goes down you still have Curry. What are the chances of them both going down with injuries together. Fairly certain this would be the last thought on GSW org's minds if they happen to acquire KD.

Seems too good to be true is all. Those things never seem to work out the way you thought/planned.

We'll be ok, just sign Blake and Westbrook to add to Bosh, Goran, and Wade and prepare for the death match.

But if KD was to go to GS would he be 1st or even 2nd option? His role would surely be reduced.

imo i don't think it will happen. KD's a competitor, why jump on another team that's already capable of winning ships. Desperation doesn't seem to be his trait.

He'll have a better challenge here

Cle-than? Dude had to cover the Cavs for a season for his job, doesn't make him a fan of them.

Calm your tits, bruh. I was making a joke.

I am calm, I was just saying.

People refusing to believe this because it's not what they want to hear, it's from Woj out of all people. Would love to have KD here while keeping Hassan and of course Dwyane.

Lakers have odd way of recruiting:

They're a huge mess. And I love it.

That idiot brother is killing their future, I think they're in deeper **** then people think.

Despite tanking/sucking for the last few years, they don't have any promising young talent.
Clarkson is overrated,
Randle is overrated and doubt' hell be an above average player
Russell can still pick it up but they're killing his development
Terrible coach
West strong as ****
Philly might actually get their high pick this draft

I can see them being irrelevant for a long time.

It's a bad environment over there in Laker land. Kobe taking up all that money and then announcing his retirement early in the season causing a huge distraction for the team- every damn game is a farewell for him :noway:

It takes away from the team. Nobody can thrive there while he is there sucking up all that cash & attention. The least he could have done was announce near the end of the season.

Steph is playing like a god right now. 6/7 from downtown, 20 points in the first 8 minutes.

Edit: Make that 7/8 and 23 in 9 minutes.

Curry is too damn good. He is breaking records tonight.

3ballbomber · Post #1200 » by **3ballbomber** » Thu Feb 4, 2016 9:43 am

Curry is the perfect player to be playing in todays league. The NBA not only protects 3p shooters but also guards and are obligated to scoring for revenue. No wonder he is thriving. But also got to give him credit - if it were that easy more people would be doing it. He is on beast mode and i love watching him.
