Igoudala leaving really hurts Golden State. He's such a smart and versatile player, and Matt Barnes can maybe what he does but is worse at every single thing by a large factor. They're going to need some ring chasing wing who can pass, and I doubt it will be James Johnson, because he's ready to get paid. I don't see anyone who does half of what Igoudala does for t hem.leftist heap posted:It's definitely important. I know this is just some dumbass RealGM article and they didn't really get into their methodology for "projected" cap space, but going by this: That makes sense. Bad teams might want to use their stretches asap to have big chunks of sellable cap room, because there are a lot of contenders in a pinch.

I made a new Be Your Own GM thread if anyone is interested in signing up. It's a real great time to spend with your fellow SAS NBA friends. Doing a new format this year, auction, which should make for a lot of funny moments.

Doltos posted:Ainge's style seems to be a wait and see approach because he knows nothing he can do at the present will win a championship. Like I highly doubt anything Morey is putting together will beat the Warriors and the Celtics themselves can't really do it even if they add PG3 and Heyward. That's the wrong way to look at it. You want to be the next team in line if Ayesha makes an underdone coq au vin that gives Steph listeria, and KD gets run over by a cable car.

The Warriors are the least likely to repeat. Durant is made of paper tissue, did everyone forget he missed almost half the season. And then he got injured again after that.

Tales of Woe posted:Going all-in on a 'superteam' that doesn't include a MVP-level player is super risky and Ainge is right to be patient. All the posturing is presumably just to appease the dumb entitled Boston sports fans. I don't think a team can be considered a super team without an MVP level player. G-Hawk posted:per Houston chronicle, the Rockets intend to bring over Zhou Qi. Rockets are going to get so many all star votes. BOOOOO SpiritOfSanDimas posted:Did any teams decline visiting the Bush White House over Iraq? No but Bush also didn't call groups advocating for the police not to kill black people terrorist organizations. He also didn't advocate sexually assaulting women in a recorded conversation etc. It's early in the Trump Presidency. Give him time and America will probably be in a worse war while having civil rights poo poo on even worse than the Bush era.

This Iggy thing is absolutely huge. Unless they can find another smart midsized defender who can switch like Iggy does, their whole defensive structure is undermined and their second team will get roasted on the regular.

Give him time and we will probably be in a worse war while having our civil rights poo poo on. Yeah his administration actually did the terrible, terrible things instead of simply saying dumb evil poo poo constantly plus Bush approval rating after 9/11 was freakin' 70%. It was horrifying. Major news personalities lost their jobs for questioning whether we should go to war with nations uninvolved with 9/11. Democrats went along with everything they proposed instead of grandstanding about how they're doing so much by doing nothing. They all supported for the Permanent War Patriot Act, the largest-ever expansion of the security state with the foundation of DHS, the CIA creeping into military territory with its own fleet of military assassination drones, etc etc anyhow visiting with the president is stupid except when Shumpert is wowed by a podium DeimosRising posted:That's probably as close as it gets in English.

Gallo owns and I'll be sad to see him leave the Nuggets. Probably best that he leaves so that the Nuggets can replace him with younger players to build around Jokic, though. Goodbye https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oM2UW7ofGLM

I don't get why Denver doesn't commit to a real rebuild around Jokic, they've been just about to trade Wilson Chandler for like six years and it never happens

Tae posted:The Warriors are the least likely to repeat. Durant is made of paper tissue, did everyone forget he missed almost half the season. And then he got injured again after that. I'd still say they are the most likely, but would you take them or the field? Durant does get historically get injured a lot (but it would only really matter if he misses the WCF / Finals, they can get through the rest without him), they might lose Iguodala, and Houston could be really good. I think I'd take the Warriors over the field, but not by a lot. Spacebump posted:No but Bush also didn't call groups advocating for the police not to kill black people terrorist organizations.

If you place zero worth on middle eastern lives, then yea sure Trump is worse Overall I don't really care either way about the visit. IMO its unfair to place a responsibility of protest on athletes. If you grew up poor or w/e its probably pretty cool to be able to set foot in the White House, and they have no moral obligation to decline it. I don't view a White House visit as an endorsement of the totality of an administration's policies, because then you could probably come up with good reasons to never visit any President / Prime Minister anywhere, ever

MourningView posted:Also they were still really good without him because they still had the core of a team that went 73-9. Except for 5th man superstar Harrison Barnes! For real though, while Durant has been pretty durable these lower body injuries are just going to keep happening more frequently, and the foot thing could legit derail a season at any time. Obviously they are in a better place to win another championship than maybe any other team in the preseason (maybe since the Bulls?) but I also wouldn't be totally blindsided if they have a season derailed due to injuries. In the NBA you can build a team more dominate than other sports, but that team can also fall apart quickly.
