Shumpert traded for a 35+ year old
JR getting a near max contract
Not making it to the finals

but good god, does he have anything positive to say ever? He even goes into Foye or Delfino topics and say they are scrubs....well duh! we have the vet minimum to give out who does he think we are getting LeBron?

So many people will be watching, I bet Houston's first game will be against a team like Golden State--his old team and an interesting PG matchup in Stephen Curry. Bogut's debut in a new uni as well. Houston will be so bad I don't think they want Lin to get embarrassed by one of the top teams in the West.

I don't know who'd he be happy with us signing :lol:

Foye I don't want, but Delfino is far from a scrub imo. He'd fill out 1/2 this teams problem[Shumpert/Smith/Delfino rotation?Yes please], and we'd just need a backup PF

Golden State have many question marks though

Is Curry staying healthy?
Is Barnes going to pan out?Was he worth it?
Is Bogut staying healthy?Has he lost a step on defense?
Is Richard Jefferson actually going to do something good this year?
Is Ezeli going to get minutes?If he does, will he work at center?

I think they make the playoffs if they stay healthy but their ceiling is a 6 seed imo

when did I say Delfino is a scrub? He would be awesome on this team

Foye sucks

Shumpert will be traded before it's all said and done if he does not make friends with CAA

What I am telling you is unmitigated truth, just like when I said Lin was not coming back well before anyone else.

You calling me out does not diminish the facts.

Also, people saying that "all we're signing are scrubs" and all that aren't any better than people who think CP3 will sign next summer here for the MMLE, or they think that the Clippers would somehow take an Amar'e/Chandler for Paul trade

Even though you throw out some pure ridiculousness at times, alot of your major predictions have been spot on.

that's pretty much my take on it.

Curry
Klay
Barnes
Lee
Bogut

with Rush as a 6th man looks great if Barnes pans out and they can all stay healthy. I'm not saying they won't get swept in the first round but still

Why do you assume that Lin will be embarrassed? He could also play really well. But please don't let facts stop you.

is nate robinson staying?

when are the warriors NOT exciting but terribly flawed? they kind of remind of a lot of knicks teams, really.

i'm just hoping we're not in our own Run TMC era.

I bet the nightly bj's from Isiah help a little

I think Nate is a FA but I don't know if he'll be brought back

I loved the monta trade for them because it got them what they've been seeking for awhile, a big man who's very above average defensively and is probably up there in the top 2 with Howard[if not better]. If Curry/Bogut stay healthy I can see them be a darkhorse in the west. Not the we believe team by any means, but still a threat.

I'm sure this has been posted somewhere on this board but i ain't fixing to search through the bullsh*t around here to confirm...

I go back and forth with this sh*t, daily...

I REALLY want to believe Dolan, Grunwald etc. had sound solid reasoning for not matching other than ego, cause if this 3 year offer comes first I just can't imagine them not matching...

it's articles like this make me shake my head and wonder if anything Dolan touches truly does go to sh*t?

Morey and les Alexander played dolan. That is why he was pissed. Collangelo played him and blocked the Nash deal. The the rockets played him by upping the money because woodson opened his big mouth . Dolans ego got in the way and he decided not to match. It is what it is.
