Make it happen Weltman.


then why did you sign kcp while you had cole anthony and gray harris?

'I' did not sign KCP :lol:

But, the FA market was weak and will likely remain weak with this new CBA. The draft and trade market is where it's at now for roster construction.

As expected, the Nuggets bench has put them back into the game

Portland doing nothing but shooting quick threes. Why? I mean I'll take it, but it's so stupid. :lol:

Is Anfernee Simons an actual positive impact player?

Lakers championship days are over if LeBron is your 1st or 2nd option at this stage of his career. Don't let the beard dye fool you this man has a full grey beard.

Yeah im not expecting a chip but i am expecting someone who's as good as Lebron to not play as a complete (Please Use More Appropriate Word). That really isn't too much to ask.

Maybe it is at his age i dont know.

Maybe he's not that good at this point? He's been pretty bad (relatively speaking) for a while now


I mean maybe. Who knows.

How many above average players do they have on their roster?


Just a few right now but they have A LOT of young talent that can go off on any night.

Westbrook is Denvers second best player, the energy and effort he brings on both ends is fantastic

Why do they have Hunter Tyson and DeAndre Jordan in the game with a little more than 6 minutes left

Good to see Malone not put in the starters when it got down to five, instead waiting until they went on a run. :nod: :crazy:

Kings won't be able to win this until they can get some stops. Right now they're just trading baskets with the Lakers.

On a good defensive team and off the bench? I think he might be. It would be a small gamble but the magic need scoring BADLY.

I'm supportive of Westbrook but this is the problem. At this stage Westbrook should be your 4th best player at best.

More and more I'm liking a Lavine trade. At the very least, Denver's offense won't be cheeks anymore and I feel like their defense can't get worse.

Denver reeks so bad its hard to watch.

Trades coming up for them for sure. No way this team accomplishes anything this year.
