lulz

Can't quite place what their sleeved jersey looks like. Rugby uniform meets future volleyball outfit?

I'd say so.

I do still dig the J Note logo, I hate the darkness of the road unies, especially the forest green - what do dark blue and dark green have to do with Utah? then again what does Jazz have to do with Utah? Any way, would have liked to see them find some fresh colors . . . Cyan & Salt, the colors of faraway mountains and lakes (lol) - and the striped shorts look like a bathing suit design by Nautica

This could be the last time we will see the Spurs Big 3.

Spurs ride off into the sunset. Tim Duncan truly one of the greats.

The one on the far right is definitely the Shasta cola of the lineup.

Looking around RealGM, seems like there are a LOT of teams that are going to be in the market for a C this summer. I count at least 6 teams (potentially 8, depending on Duncan's situation with SAS and Pau/Noah's situation with CHI) with cap space and a need for a long term solution at C, and that doesn't include teams like MIL who have a C under contract that they are not in love with. Factor in three teams that currently have big time Cs that are FAs, and that leads to a total of 11 teams in the market, 9 of whom made the playoffs this season.

(1) POR - Dame / CJ looks like the future and they have Aminu for a few years on a great contract. They need a defensive C in the worst way.

(2) BOS - they have lots of cap space + a stopgap at C.

(3) DAL - Dirk is taking another discount in hopes that DAL can make one more deep playoff run and Pachulia is an unrestricted FA this summer. Parsons is working on getting his bro Dwight to town.

(4) IND - lots of cap space and they don't have a true C under contract for next season (Hill and Mahinmi are both unrestricted FAs). Not sure what their big plans are since they seem to want George to play PF.

(5) LAL - no Cs under contract next season and they have obscene amounts of cap space.

(6) CHA - you know the story.

(7) SAS - if Duncan is done, makes sense for them to pursue a defensive minded C.

(8) CHI - they may lose both Pau and Noah this offseason, and if they do they'll have the space to take a run at a top tier C to replace them.

(9) Musical chair teams (ATL, MIA, HOU) - all will have cap space and could be in the market for big name C's if their own incumbent FAs leave.

Unrestricted FA centers this offseason: Dwight, Whiteside, Horford, Pau, Noah, Hibbert, Mozgov, Jordan Hill, Mahinmi, Pachulia, Big Al

Restricted FA centers this offseason: Speights, DMo, Ezeli, Boban, Zeller

Gonna be interesting...

I really like what Plumlee did for Portland in the playoffs. 11 rebounds and almost 5 assists. He didnt score much, only 7 ppg, but he sets good picks and is a solid roll man for Lillard and CJ. I'd gladly take him as our starting center if they don't want him.

Speaking of Lillard, he's an amazing player, but he might also be the most extreme example of a hero ball point guard in the league. So many possessions in that GS series that nobody else even touched the ball on offense and so many horribly forced shots as a result.

I think the Pacers ultimately plan to play Turner at C and George at PF.

On the subject of amusing moments from this season, this has to be near the top:

That has to be the lowest bbiq play ive ever seen.

Post #1517 » by **Diop** » Sat May 14, 2016 2:37 am

Miami won their game without playing a centre at all, unless you want to call McBob one.

That's probably the biggest knock on Biyombo's game right there

Watching Biyombo and Winslow guard each other was the most pathetic display of offense in the history of the league. Biz is being defended most of the game by someone 5 inches shorter, yet the Raptors can't even take advantage of the mismatch in the post. On the other end, Biz was playing 15 feet off Winslow and the Heat could not take advantage of Winslow being wide open. Both players just ended up playing free safety.
