sean10mm posted:What NBA teams came close to the Warriors in terms of accumulating star power in a single season? It feels like there have been a ton of "great" teams that had 2-3 stars of varying levels and then some guys, but I can't really think of another example where a team was seen as such a blatant cheat code in the last 30 years. I don't even feel like they cheated. They made wise pickups with vets, developed their own elite talent, and then finally added a piece because the first two steps allowed them a lot of cap space. It's no different than the Heat except it took them two years of the big 3 to add the vets. I see no difference between the Heat signing Lebron/Bosh while already having Wade and the Warriors picking up Durant.

sean10mm posted:To be clear, I don't mean they literally cheated. I don't hate them for accumulating talent like they did. I just mean in terms of how subjectively unfair the roster was vs. everybody else in the league. You do raise a good point. The Lebron led Cavs with two legitimate all stars is still clearly behind a team that had the unanimous MVP last year, two all stars, and a generational super talent in Durant. You'd probably have to go back to the Celtics and Lakers rivalries to see imbalance like that, especially when the Lakers got KAJ from the Bucks.

EvanTH posted:Terrible offseason for the Knicks so far. Fran Fraschilla says KP won't resign as a FA and Pablo Prigioni turned down our offer to assistant coach to take a head coaching job off in Espana I wouldn't worry too much. Winning and good team vibes fixes everything. KP will probably re-sign when Phil Jackson is fired as a scapegoat. Good for Prigioni turning down an assistant coaching gig that will probably lead absolutely no where under the current regime. The NBA is filled with former players who will never head coach unless 10 guys retire ahead of them on their own team.

Dexo posted:Lol if you don't think Zingis sees the jig from how they are treating Melo. And now himself now that he did one tiny act of defiance. Melo got treated like gold by this organization. Dolan loves him. His companies treat the customer like poo poo but they're pretty beneficial to work for (if you're not Charles Oakley). He just happens to be a terrible sports franchise owner that doesn't realize how much more publicity a bad basketball team gets over a bad internet provider. Zingis is fed up because the teams losing and Phil stuck him with Noah. I don't think it has a lot to do with him thinking that he's going to get chased out of town when he's old and busted.

Cool Buff Man posted:Really excited to watch the Suns next year. I see Jackson eventually being more of a leader than Booker because of their vastly different personalities and I think they're going to be a much more intense team on D I dunno. Chriss is a foul monster and Booker blows on D. I didn't even get to watch Bender play last year because he sucked or was injured. Jackson's probably going to go through growing pains on offense too. I wouldn't be surprised if they're a bottom picking team again next year.

WhyteRyce posted:Sam Dekker got some hype from Rockets fans last year but I assume that's just fans overhyping bench trash He looks real goofy with the ball but has hops. I think he was included in the deal so the Clippers would take Sweet Lou instead of Gordon.

If Frank tears his ACL and plummets out of the NBA it'd just be as if they traded their first rounder for some dumb vet again so no big deal

Kibner posted:He's had two seasons with the Pels. And they underperformed both of them. Mainly because of health issues, but they still underperformed. I kept saying he sucked all last year since he had no clue how to use his team before or after the Cousins trade and you kept telling me to give the team time to gel.

Further proving that the culture is the problem. It doesn't sound like there's ever a lot of conflicting opinions spoken aloud in the Knicks front office.

Space Camp fuckup posted:The only reason it's so easy to make fun of Ainge is he leaks everything he's going to do, might do, and would have done but didn't. He's like that weird kid on the playground that talks too much and lies about everything. Great GM though. 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.

Metapod posted:They signed two good veteran players who can help with locker room culture and development of their young players. There's really not a lot to get They had a lot of money to splash. Too much money to splash. Shoulda spent more on Zbo type players before talking to Hill's agent who probably laughed and was like yeah you guys aren't strapped for cash right now, 19 mil per year please.

Ammanas posted:10 million a year for a dude that can play the least important half of basketball and is an outright liability in the most important half I believe he's going to develop into a decent 3 and D guy. He was a PF his entire life so of course his offensive game is weird as gently caress in the NBA right now. 3 years of 10 mil a pop to see if he develops a 3 isn't that bad.
