Around the NBA - July 2017 Edition

So you are saying curry is a douche because? he celebrates? not sure

 

Plus, the Plums stuff would be a GREAT topic of discussion. Probably worthy of its own thread. I think most all of us loved the guy, since he was such a hard worker. He wasn't what we REALLY needed (a beast), but could work awesome for you guys. What's he worth though? Good question....

 

No because Curry just got PAID.

 

Fultz is for real

 

He doesn't play manly basketball. Whenever Lebron plays against the dude you can tell he feels the same way just by the way he looks at him. Just dont like the guys personality or the way he acts when on the bench.

 

I dont care that he got paid. Just seems like a dick move to me when Durant, who imo is a better player, takes less and curry didn't take any less. Yes i know curry got paid less because of his injury on his last deal.

 

I'd put him in the top 10 for sure when you consider that he's a very good defender. Among the ones that are better, only Wiggins is younger.

I mean, we're talking in pretty arbitrary terms all the way around, here, when it comes to comparing players. Which advanced stats do you guys consider the best ones to use?

 

Which is exactly what'll happen when he's playing with Collins!

 

Nurk was out of shape....this is the difference to me...Jokic can score from all over the court but Nurk doesn't need to on our team. Nurk however has the X factor of swagger....he's intimidating..nothing scarier than a smiling giant that's crushing your house like he was swatting a mosquito

 

I think Plumlee should get 4 years for 50 mil somewhere. He's got a unique skillset and a motor...I'd get him with a footwork coach and shooting coach but he's got the desire....if he could hit midrange shots he'd be a damned good power forward but he'll never be a center

 

Portland would be a perfect place for a pre-Vegas summer league.

Perfect weather in the summer, two adjacent stadiums in Memorial and Moda, Nike is in town and could sponsor it, this city is also basketball crazy... Why does Orlando and Utah have one? Portland would be perfect.

 

Here's a bunch of words strung together.

 

Curry just won a ship while being paid 2 Mil More than Meyers. The only reason why they were able to sign Durant to a Max deal is because he made so much less...

 

I realize that. And durant took less, so why not split it as much as you can? Durant, who imo is a better player, is taking less to keep this thing together. To me it's a dick move. We wouldnt be having this conversation if durant took all his money. But he didnt. So it makes curry look worse than i already thought of him.

 

Lol. We probably have as much as Salt Lake City.

 

So you approve of what Riley did to Wade? You think Wade should have taken less?

 

Its not a dick move. Curry built this powerhouse, Durant is merely the Cherry on Top Gravy Train riding Busta Brown and he got paid as his role and importance to the Warriors dictates. The Warriors did Durant a FAVOR by allowing him to win rings, they didn't need him. He needed them.

 

Montero with the Mavs tonight:
29 min, 6 rebounds, 2 ast, 2 steals... ZERO points on 4 shots.
