Reminder that Lacob wanted to trade Klay Thompson for Kevin Love.

http://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/klay-thompsons-father-says-jerry-west-kerr-prevented-love-trade/

quote:

Diamond Leung of the Bay Area News Group transcribed a radio interview with Klay Thompson's father, who said that owner Joe Lacob and GM Bob Myer wanted to trade Thompson for then-Minnesota-Timberwolves forward Kevin Love, but front office advisor Jerry West and coach Steve Kerr "took (Thompson) off the table."

If the Bulls could get Buddy Hield somehow. Well, that guy seems primed to hit 500+ 3s in a few years. Teamed up with McDermott it could be Klay/Curry 2.0

Faxing this to Jerry Reinsdorf right now.

It sounds like Taj will be traded. Toronto would make a ton of sense for him but 9 is too high a pick for him. Wonder if maybe a Taj + 14th pick for the 9th would work.

I see the Bulls are officially committing to turning Fred Hoiberg into Tim Floyd 2.0 Tank mode has definitely been engaged.

The bad news is that the Bulls franchise value keeps going up so Supreme Allied Commander Reinsdorf and all his henchmen don't have to change their behavior one iota.

Imminently Reasonable. I accept your reasoning and retract my statement.

This is a good post. I feel like folks might be severely underestimated how much GSW's success owed to their super-duper deep bench, and it'd be a huge mistake to get rid of that for a chance at KD. I mean, actual KD sure but don't go scrapping a 73 win team because you've received verbal promises over the new CyberDust app

I dunno, the bench was really good but I kinda think the "depth" is severely overrated. They've just got one awesome player (Iggy) and one really good one (Sdot). Ezeli looked decent before his most recent knee surgery but was pretty bad after. Speights was low-key awful this year except for the one game a month where he hit jumpers.

The thing that I think hurt in the end was none of the bench players could score. I wonder if they'll try to convince Crabbe to come back to the Bay.

The other thing GSW could do is convince guys to sign one year deals and completely innocently happen to give them large contracts next year.

Rick: Feb 23, 2004; When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

Welcome Strawberry. You can expect the Lakers to lose 60+ basketball games, but put at least try to put a good offensive product on the floor.

Don't take what is written in the papers about the team too seriously. Don't take what other Lakers fans say seriously especially when it comes to roster moves.

Leave at least two hours early plus the theoretical travel time if you decide to go to a game. You should go to a game. Also don't leave the game early you won't actually save much time because L.A Live is busy anyway game or not.

hitze was the only person to correctly guess all eight playoff teams in either conference. He got the eight in the West correct.

I'll post the questions along with the percentages tomorrow.

I really don't think Teague is an upgrade over Hill for next year, but he is younger, and I don't really have any hope the Pacers will improve this year anyway, so oh well.

Yeah he is. Hill never attacks the basket. All he does is sit on the perimeter and shoot 3s. Pacers need someone who can penetrate and attack. I can see the Pacers being a top 5 team in the East.

George Hill is a moderate plus on defense. I'm not convinced Teague's slashing makes up for the fact that he sucks on defense.

But he is younger, and they can't just keep pretending Vogel's there, I guess.

I'm pretty sure OKC's size would have given Cleveland huge fits. Steven Adams is big and fast enough that Tristan Thompson wouldn't have his way on the glass. That's a huge part of what makes Cleveland good, imo.

And Westbrook would have actually attacked the rim unlike Curry.
I would have liked to see Love and Kanter defend each other though.

Metapod posted:

You know how Barnes was always left open in the Finals? Imagine if he had taken a couple dribbles towards the paint then panicked a bit once he saw someone coming to contest.
He could probably end up being a good wing defender if he worked at it, he's got long arms and is relatively quick on his feet.

George Hill was garbage on defense. He was constantly getting beat by the opposing team's point guard. It was so bad that us SAS Pacer fans would make fun of him at the end of close games in GDTs.

Handle refers to the ability to dribble or create in traffic. Slashing is just cutting without the ball or blowing by a long close out.

The crazy thing is they aren't trying to tank (Reinsdorf won't allow it). If they were they'd trade Butler while his value is as high as it'll get. They'd have traded Gasol at the deadline.

They genuinely believe that organizations win championships. That they are the smartest men in the room. Gar talked today about how they need to build their roster around their head coach as if he was the second coming of Red Auerbach.

Any thoughts on the Portland off-season? After taking a collection of Lillard and previously anonymous players to the second round, does the team A) retool the entire team or B) see if they can do even better next year with a jelled team?

Based on the Blazers culture, which seems to be more about putting together a team that can make the playoffs, rather than putting together a contender, I guess they leave it mostly the same, and the Blazers spend the next few years as the 4-6 seed in the West. making first or second round exits. Eventually, Lillard goes to some powerhouse team to get his ring, while still owning a house in Dunthorpe and a shop selling skateboard gear or something in the Pearl.

A little of both, I think. Best case scenario is you either land Durant (never) or Horford (very doubtful) or Meyers fulfills Olshey's wildest dreams and figures out how basketball works. One of those plus CJ/Lillard and you're looking at a possible contender sooner than later I bet.

I think they try to keep Crabbe and some of their bigs as plan B, but swing for a bigger piece or two as plan A. I don't think they blow it all up just yet.

E: if you're joking about men being the standard human to compare against women and then call women b's for being offended, you probably suck and aren't as funny as you think you are.
