Around the NBA - November 2017

Too bad Westbrick threw the game away. PG actually tried until the final buzzer.

 

You're joking right. That's a joke? Please tell me the "Tank" talk is not starting already?

 

You do realize, Paul George and Carmelo Anthony are two different players? No one was criticizing PG.

 

It’s a joke. There’s a his kid called baby Escalade, you should check him out. I couldn’t find a YouTube video, only saw him on ig.

 

I was criticizing westbrick. Try harder.

 

That Felton bonus round tho!

 

Starting an NBA YouTube Series called "Chill NBA Rants" where I calmly rant about silly NBA opinions that seem to be spreading across the internet.

Today's video: I rant about those who are already proclaiming Markelle Fultz as a bust.

 

Griffin missed game winning shot against MIA

 

Wouldn't've needed it if Austin Rivers hadn't just missed 2 FTs.

 

Kyle can't rebound Kuzma has 25 in his last two games.

 

Saw the final 30 seconds of Cavs v Hawks game replay, Hawks were actually trying to lose on purpose and not even hiding it. Dropping the ball, going out of bounds, missing two free throws at 117-115 with 18 seconds to go (it was actually 115-108 just a few seconds before!) and then leaving EVERYONE open for a winner three for Cavs, and giving it a half arsed attempt at rebounding after they missed it too. Hilarious to watch.

 

interesting how out of sorts CLE is, "if" it continues have to wonder what they do with Lebron/Love and if they might be tempted to trade their Nets pick to win now

 

Dame and C.J. need to start recruiting LeBron NOW (privately) to convince him his best chance to beat the Warriors and win another ring is to join a team with a core in their prime, and not team up with other over-the-hill banana boaters or babysitting a bunch of teenagers in LA.

Any lack of contention/fit issues from HOU and OKC helps our case.

No way does CLE trade that pick. It was the #1 prize in the Kyrie Irving trade and will be the key part of their rebuild when LeBron leaves next summer.

I said before that Lebron was more likely to come to Portland than Melo, mainly because Lebron actually enjoys the city. Olshey also has a history with him and that history was a big reason why the clippers got a meeting with him in free agency before he went to Miami.

I'd still put the odds at somewhere less than 10%.

Then there's the whole issue of how do we clear space to sign him? Sign and trade with CJ going home to Ohio? But why would Lebron want to come here if we didn't have CJ. Does he like Dame and Nurk that much? Lol

 

What's the least LeBron would take to play for a true contender? Too bad the Crabbe TPE can't be combined with another player as it only gets us to $13 million.

Lebron taking a paycut to come to Portland just seems laughable to me, mainly because I don't think his decision will be 100% basketball based.
