NBA 2016-2017 Thread

Wait, I linked an opinion piece, that wasn't Winderman breaking the news.

Zach Lowe mentioned it in his podcast today, 4 picks, 1 being the Nets pick and the Heat turned it down. Lowe is about as reputable as it gets. This is also not breaking news, it's been known since almost draft night.

Riles dropped the ball!!

[DRiccio21]

geeez. I had never heard about that.

that's gross

[shel311]

Dave to the rescue!

How dare you make me doubt Riles Shel!!!!

Doubt away!!!

[shel311]

Once we learn the details of the Olynyk contract and whether there's a man bun clause we'll know if Riley is good at his job or not.

Spoiler!

Are we all really going to ignore that the Knicks gave Hardaway Jr 4 years 71 mil with a 15% trade kicker. Knicks twitter was so awesome when this happened. They thought the stupidity ended with Phil but they forgot who owns the team. Man I can not wait for them to bring Isiah back to run things

[Cnasty]

We mentioned it twice in here. Come on Billy!!!

[wdoupis]

Oops, as some of you know I was on somewhat of a bender this weekend. I apologize

[shel311]

Let's all take a moment to laugh at the Knicks...

@BobbyMarks42
Tim Hardaway Jr. was traded for Jerian Grant who was traded for Derrick Rose who was renounced so NYK could sign Hardaway Jr. for $71M.

Dammit Billy!!!

[Cnasty]

I mean thats just par for the course and probably low considering that guys like Hardaway are getting $75mil and shit.

Heat are going to be a fun team! Not a great one, but a fun one!

And right before shel's!

[shel311]

If you're bored and need a hoops fix, Lonzo Ball vs the Fox kid from UK with the 1st name I can't spell tonight.

[wdoupis]

Already had it circled, Lonzo's game is so fun to watch.

Also I was thinking today man 4-5 ears ago teams would have been moving mountains for D Rose FA year and now dude can't get any takers. Poor guy, I will never forget that stupid Philly game 1

[shel311]

No NBA MVP has ever not made the HOF, right?

DRose looking to become the 1st.

[wdoupis]

Crazy how his trajectory changed just like that. You watch highlights of his pre injury days and he was just incredible and people forget

[DRiccio21]

he hit the perfect storm of an injury and the game changing right at the same time for him.

[shel311]

Fraudulent MVP, injury, game changing.

Perfect storm!!!

lebron could probably get that starting 5 in Cleveland if he really wanted it

They'd get back to the Finals...and lose to GS.

why would anyone want Howard in 2017?
