Around the NBA - Conference Finals

LeBron has had probably one of, if not THE, highest BBIQ ever to play the game. His basketball intelligence has been on display his entire career.

Those who thought what you said above.... They have bigger problems.

 

I don’t know if I agree it’s been there his whole career, not that he was ‘dumb’ but his experience definitely has made him better. I remember watching a younger Lebron and thinking wow if this guy could just learn to shoot a little, also his handle was at times kind of iffy. I feel like whatever weaknesses he’s had as a basketball player he has worked on until he really doesn’t have a weakness on the basketball court

 

I know. Those poor dumb rednecks who don't realize how much science is involved playing basketball. I wonder how those people make it through the day.

My friends I played ratball with called me Sabonis because I could do everything on a basketball court. Dribble, shoot, postup and pass and dunk (for six months when I was 24 before I got hooked on Muchas Gracias)....

Everything.

You put my brain in Meyers Leonard and he's an American Sabonis.



Fortunately I can say that about Leonard and not be a racist.


It could be that those people who wrongly think Lebron is just a genetic lotto winner are stupid. Maybe that's what you meant by problems.

 

Trash Warriors are at it again, word to @KingSpeed

 

This gonna sound crazy, but if golden state loses, they will trade draymond.

 

I think they’ll set themselves up for ADs free agency. KD, Steph, AD big three.

 

Nevermind. Thought he was a FA in 2020, not 2021.

 

AD can opt out in the summer of 2020.

Your plan has a huge hole in it. With Durant and Curry they will have a payroll of over $75 million with just those two. There isn't room to sign a 3rd max player there so unless AD signs for less this isn't possible.

 

Anybody watched UEFA Champions League final?

 

When has that ever stopped anyone of these super teams? If they want to play together they’ll play together.

 

Well for one, Curry is under contract for $43 million in 2020-2021 so there is no possible way for the Warriors to make that number any different. Second of all, Durant has already publicly said that he won't take less money anymore after this season concludes. That is a full two seasons before Davis can join the team so he'd either not be on the team or he'd be making over $35 million (probably more) that season. Klay is a free agent next summer so they'd have to let him walk or trade him for someone who wouldn't be on the team in 2020-21. It seems pretty far fetched for a team like that to be thinking about the summer of 2020 and bringing in a different player.

 

You’re talking like there are no solutions but there always are. The superstars make the majority of their money outside of their contract, taking a pay cut isn’t unrealistic, and it’s happened before.

 

This Houston roster is pretty recreatable if you think about it. A MVP level talent paired with a great but aging player and a bunch of guys that thrive in their given role. The other key is they are built for this era of basketball and paired with a coach that fits the roster.

It doesn’t take having a 4 all star super team to beat the Warriors is what this Rockets team is showing. Even if they lose the series.

 

Huh? You're the one who thinks one of the greatest teams of all-time is going to start to disassemble this summer so they can maybe have a chance two years from now for Anthony Davis?

I'm sorry Scalma but that would make zero sense. I know you want to get Draymond somehow but lets not turn that into some big secret plan the Warriors have for two years from now.
