Official 2017-18 NBA Season Thread

If Pau were still an expiring (gonna continue to keep that fantasy alive), I'd love for Monroe to go to SA after being bought out. He's not the passer Gasol is, and he's not a mobile defender. But dude knows how to score and isn't afraid to show that knowledge off. That makes him have a higher floor than Pau with the potential of him being retained. However, with the current roster, I'd rather hold out that David Lee will be back than sign another center.

[dabom]

Monroe is a bum. A tomato can.

[MaNu4Tres]

Not great, but more often than not, talent trumps fit and these days, if you're serious about winning, you need at least two All-Star caliber or better perimeter players. This is something most relevant or trying to be relevant teams understand, with Spurs being the obvious exception. Also, Bledsoe should shoot slightly better with more spot up looks playing off of Antetokounmpo.

Bucks don't have too many PG's because Brogdon was always more of an SG and Dellavedova is really a combo guard too.

Suns definitely have too many C's, but Monroe likely isn't long for them.

Yeah the deal was just for the 1st rounder. If they were smart, they'd ship Monroe to a contender at the deadline for another asset

There is no contender that would take on Monroe's contract. He'll be bought out and go to the Dubs, Celtics, or Clips.

It's a one year deal. It's very trade-able. He could also be bought out. If I'm PHX I shop him first for a player(s) with much less on the court value that has an expiring as well.

[dabom]

There is a serial welcher on this thread guys. Watch out. And he has bad takes.

[cd021]

I was thinking after buyout. I think it's almost impossible to move that contract. One of the worst of all time imo

Doubt Deng would do that, he has two years remaining on his deal, at big money, he isn't getting anywhere near that money back if he does.

He's not that good. No way in would Phoenix get a first without taking back some long-term money.

Where did I say for a 1st?

Put an "a" where there wasn't one. My bad. I am now left confused about your previous post, however.

Not me. I'm so good doing this .

About tonight game

He looked like an All Time Center because Clips had a PG throwing good lobs...They're a whole different team now.

I watched them against Pistons and Grizz...I say it's a very, VERY winnable game for Spurs.

The only reason that I don't bet here is I don't wanna be responsible for ST members becoming poor

OKC just lost again, this time to the 1-8 Kings in Sacto... now 4-6 on the season.


Melo leaves the Knicks, they improve. He goes to OKC, they get worse. Hmm...

Melo 4-16
George 4-17
Westbrook 7-21

Damn, that's ugly.

Melo's loser legacy was cemented in my mind before he left denver. not sure why msm, players and coaches have nut hugged him and treated him like a special player for over a decade.

He will make the hall of fame one day and it will be undeserving. A career of empty stats tbh.

Reminding me of Tim in this sequence:

Of the (presumed) elite, Celtics and Thunder are the only 2 with a need for a rotation C, but even if they wanted to, they don't have the salaries to match. More likely, they'd be top options if he's bought out.

Crazy how oversaturated the C market is. So many teams overstocked, looking to get off high salaried types, who either don't play that much or aren't in the rotation altogether.

As he shouldnt. The best of the ball brothers is lonzo, and he has absolutely no business in the nba, if the nba was about skill, and not preteen fans. I have never seen or heard of such terrible play from a pg since dj murray. This bum shoots 29 percent fg, 23 percent 3pt, and 53 percent ft... lol at anyone who says todays nba is skilled.

However he was planning on getting to the league, stealing bull material items in another country seems like the dumbest way to give up on the NBA dream. Your first sentence pretty much sums it up.

He’s finding out real quick that most countries don’t have as lenient shoplifting laws as the U.S. He should be happy he didn’t shoplift in a country where he ciuld have his hand removed for it.
