i have something to say about the offs THE 2016 NBA PLAYOFFS

yeah if they offered russell and the pick that seems like a nobrainer for pacers

great opportunity to leverage georges overratedness

they would need more than russell and a pick imo

russell and pick is a great haul

for a top 10-15 player who's happy where he is? russell is still unproven

maybe if they can dump monta on them too

teams gotten a hellofa lot less for better players

but its not like he's asking out and they are in a pinch

young player w a perennial allstar ceiling + a very high draft pick is p sweet, i mean trying to salvage the core of their current team is prob the smart thing to do but that haul wld be v tempting, reset around three young players w big potential

turner and pauls primes wont really overlap tho

i guess im biased becasue i think the current pacers team looks like garbage but they probably have a higher opinion of themselves

obvs a lot of it depends on where the lakers pick lands, if its top two theres no way they make that offer, if its not in the top four they dont keep it anyway lol

i guess i see the appeal of turning the clock back to zero with a russell/randle/turner core in hopes of being the team that can take the baton in the east once the lebron era ends but really the east seems pretty weak right now that if i was the pacers i'd keep PG with turner and try and work my way into the raptors/heat/hawks/celtics/hornets tier of teams, it's not inconceivable that a team besides the cavs could be in the finals in one of the next two seasons (tho i would still say unlikely)

turner and pauls primes wont really overlap tho

if turner is really really good in 2-3 years him and PG will be pretty close to sharing their peaks

yeah they cld both be very good by then true, still p small window tho

pg is still so young

wait are y'all throwing randle in the equation too? did i miss that?

i don't think they could get russell, randle and a pick but they could get russell and one of the other two. if the lakers lose their pick idk what else they have left to trade.

pg is still so young

how wow i was thinking he was 28 but hes 26

yeah in 3 years lebron will be 34 and who knows what moves he will have made at that point as de facto GM. a 29 year old PG and a 23 year old myles turner could do some damage w/ a decent roster around them.

the problem with turning the clock back to 0 is that orlando and milwaukee are brewing good things too so that's more to contend with, whereas for the next year or 2 it's just the cavs and a wide but very beatable 2nd tier

they have money to sign some FAs too

personally think projecting what other teams will be good is pointless the league is so volatile got to base it on what will give u the best chance of building a champ team

yeah fair, hard to know what even next year is gonna look like until the kd situation is resolved

wonder if they'll try to retain mahimni, had a really good contract year

guys there is no way the lakers are going to offer Russell and the pick for george

randle and the pick however...hmmm. that would let George play the 4 (which he hates)

its possible imo, lakers r dum, they shopped russell like two months ago

dum ppl think pg is mvp level

new thread Juiceman, Juiceman, Juiceman, them boys up to something

lol Simmons floating that PG shit of course

Bosh out for rest of year

that was pretty obvious already even if they didn't want to say it officially

official call is no travel. i still think he moves both feet when he's getting up, but oh well

Kyle Lowry's 2015-16 postseason numbers:

13 PPG / .306 FG % / .160 3PT% / .718 FT%

apparently he's hurt? he better be at least

he def played terrible last night even outside just shooting

on lowe's last pod he was saying he's hearing lowry's elbow is fine.

cleve looking good

10/14 from three so far

holy smokes theyve already broke the record for threes in a half with 8 minutes left in the 2nd

13 so far

fucking hell

Lebro is Locked in

3pt shoooting in the fist half

hawks 2-11
cavs 18-27

This is unreal.

Watching the Hawks get straight up murdered tonight, damnnnnnn

Harlan being reduced to just screaming "No! No! No!" at jr smith three bombs

regular season record for 3p makes in a game is 23, playoffs record 21

and cavs made it to 23!!! rad

wish I could've watched this game, instead my wife and I had to hash out details about our move to cleveland which is actually happening for real now. I already talked to my brothers about getting some season tickets for next year
