Carmelo Anthony has never adjusted his game. He's a black hole on offense and a liability on defense. Westbrook's no defensive stopper either and all three of those cats need the ball. To beat Golden State, you need young, fast, athletic wing players who can defend (like Kawhi Leonard) and play unselfish offense. OKC will score points, win 50 games, and maybe get to the second round, but that's it.

So it looks like Dwayne Wade will be going to the Cavs W/a one year deal

[Not A Nice Person]

Perfect name change.

Thank you, it describes Westbrook's MVP award.

 

"truly out of options" but Sam Presti has been having a solid off-season, arguably the best out of any team, while your lover boy uses alternate accounts to defend himself.

OKC adds two all-stars, by trading away decent players to get them. I wouldn't put them over the top the Warriors but I say the chances are significantly higher if the players mesh together real well.

Melon hasn't been a decent all-star in years, and all three are major ball hogs already so there's no way they'd fit together. Meanwhile KD will have 2 rings this time next year.

 

The best off-season Sam Presti had was when he drafted Kevin Durant.

Westbrook signed the 5 year 205 million deal making his contract the biggest in history. Glad he decided to stay in OKC, hopefully he can help build something special.

[Not A Nice Person]

He can afford to imitate a ring with that money, lol.

[Jonesizzle]

he could've taken a pay cut to go play with a already established team to get easy rings, but he didn't.

[Not A Nice Person]

The only ring he's getting is his wedding ring so it doesn't matter he didn't.

 

He'd obviously rather be the face of an entire franchise himself + that jordan thing. KD still making more.

 

E; went back and ouch this thread's posts never age well.

What exactly do you mean by "making more"? Because if anything KD hasn't tarnished his legacy, but people will remember him for his decisions ultimately... and that's saying a lot considering LeBron and all. KD a hands down hall of famer, a great guy, but I just find him weak minded when it comes to basketball, and I think a lot of people (outside of OKC) think the same.

 

 

as far as post not aging well..

If the team has a good year then it will be worth it. If not, say goodbye to PG and hello Lakers.

[Zello]

Preseason starts today

[Not A Nice Person]

These international games are interesting, they should do more of those.

throwback to when okc lost against real madrid, who doesn't even play basketball in the first place

[Funktipus]

"Hopeless" is a perfect description of this garbage franchise.....bad owner, crap front office, clueless team president.

$72 mil for Joakim Noah, $71 mil for Tim Hardaway Jr........smh

We lost an NBA legend.......just heard on WFAN that Connie Hawkins passed away.

 

RIP to "The Hawk"

 

 

 

I love this quote from Stefan Bondy in today's Daily News;

"It's hypocritical for Perry and president Steve Mills to declare defense as central to their new identity, and then acquire Tim Hardaway Jr., Michael Beasley, Enes Kanter and Doug McDermott. Sunday's 117-83 embarrassing preseason defeat to the Nets served as a reminder of the possibilities for New York's putridness."


....same ol' Knicks.

Embiid gets a monster contract and hasn't even been close to completing a NBA season. What a joke.

Makes no sense.

[Not A Nice Person]

A 'joke' but y'all would be the first to give LeBron a max contract.

 

Embiid is monster and key piece of the Sixers future, so they know what they're doing.

[Jonesizzle]

man your troll-try-hardness is off the f*cking chain man. Learn to be more nonchalant about it.

 

What do y'all think about the NBA reseeding the playoffs by overall and not go by conferences? I'd be in favor of it, and it would make for more interesting playoff rivalries.

[Not A Nice Person]

I used to be in favor of it but after imagining the huge mess that'll cause let's just keep up. Of course this idea comes when the Warriors leave China...

Sad seeing the backlash about that Kyrie video tribute.. so what if he got traded, he's the only reason those simple-minded, carb obsessed, trump supporting losers can say those dumb 3-1 jokes.

I hope LeBron suits up and plays. I feel like it's all to much of a coincidence for him to be hurt and not being able to play against Boston but who knows.

[Not A Nice Person]

I hope the Celtics win it would make this entire season more interesting if there's a celtics-cavaliers rivalry.

[MLGTA]

Speechless

[Chaise]

Hayward's injury was definitely horrific, but if it just a fractured ankle like reported and nothing else I could see him possibly coming back for the playoffs. Prayers go out to him though hate to see something like that happen to such a great player on the first game.

[Jonesizzle]

I feel sorry for Gordon, hopefully he makes a speedy recover and come back 100 percent.

[Not A Nice Person]

That Gordon thing was hard to watch

 

It's official cavs cannot win a game without LeBroom lmao..

[Jonesizzle]

Dude that was made official when the Cavs couldn't manage to have a single winning season during his tenure in Miami.

[seven50iL]

Damn one score game. We would have won if Hayward didn't get injured. See ya in January

 

#TitleTown

[Not A Nice Person]

Probably the first time I agree with seven50iL, If Hayward was in Celtics would've gotten it.

 

I wish I was as suave as Patrick McCaw.

He should put his name back to Retarded Bitch.

 

 

 

Sideline view of his injury
