ayyyyyyye been waiting for your 2019 predix. still waiting for the Magic theory to be fulfilled.
― InfoWarriors (Spottie), Friday, 20 July 2018 18:51 (five years ago) link
in my defense the orlando magic theory was proposed before the oladipo / ibaka trade
― ciderpress, Friday, 20 July 2018 19:06 (five years ago) link
i thought oladipo was actually good entirely based on a single celtics-magic game i went to where he went off and looked really impressive, and turned out to be right eventually but it took 2 trades to happen
― ciderpress, Friday, 20 July 2018 19:07 (five years ago) link
i liked the theory but they ruined it with bad moves yup
― InfoWarriors (Spottie), Friday, 20 July 2018 19:08 (five years ago) link
i have some ideas in mind for which teams will outperform expectations next year but i want to see the rest of the offseason play out first

Paul George is like the only dude on that team who can shoot a three

Abrines and Pat Pat too. but they wont be seeing many minutes in the playoffs
― InfoWarriors (Spottie), Friday, 20 July 2018 20:43 (five years ago) link
They could really use Korver imo
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Friday, 20 July 2018 20:47 (five years ago) link
yeah but sixers are trading for him. REUNION.
― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Friday, 20 July 2018 20:48 (five years ago) link
i know that's the rumor, but he seems sort of superfluous for the sixers

i know its lebron and those young guys have potential but holy shit what a fucked up team
― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Friday, 20 July 2018 22:16 (five years ago) link
They still have that Luol Deng contract for some reason
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Friday, 20 July 2018 22:30 (five years ago) link
they are gonna be must watch tv. if ingram/ball/kuzma/hart all make a leap this year all these other moves wont matter as much. but if they have to rely heavily on lance/beas/mcgee/rondo it could get really ugly.
their center rotation is non existent.
― InfoWarriors (Spottie), Friday, 20 July 2018 22:30 (five years ago) link
not sure why they havent cut him and stretch provisioned that thing out xp
― InfoWarriors (Spottie), Friday, 20 July 2018 22:32 (five years ago) link
lebron is gonna play a lot of center i think?

raptors with kawhi could be a problem

toronto could run a smallball lineup of lowry/van fleet/green/leonard/jonas that would be quite good.
― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Friday, 20 July 2018 22:52 (five years ago) link
jonas wouldnt be in a small ball lineup tho. swap him for ibaka
― InfoWarriors (Spottie), Friday, 20 July 2018 22:56 (five years ago) link
oh true, i was just thinking for "offense" i guess
― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Friday, 20 July 2018 22:57 (five years ago) link
you could probably swap anunoby for green, too
theyre gonna have a ton of defensive versatility

so, the east is...bos/tor/phi in legit contention, ind/mil in the middle? cavs could weirdly still make the playoffs bc i cant see many of the other teams making big enough jumps with their moves. if porzingis is healthy maybe the knicks. if detroit figures their shit out? woof.
― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Saturday, 21 July 2018 00:34 (five years ago) link
so, the east is...
it's hard to see the east conference as relevant next season when the Finals roll around. maybe the Celtics with Hayward and Irving back make a noise. or maybe the Warriors lose some key pieces to injury. gonna be a very weird season all around because of James in LA with the Munsters.
― A is for (Aimless), Saturday, 21 July 2018 00:42 (five years ago) link
celtics and raptors will be relevant with current rosters

wth bjelica was supposed to go to the 76ers then said nah going to Europe then decided nah gonna sign a 3/20 with... the kings?
― InfoWarriors (Spottie), Saturday, 21 July 2018 02:20 (five years ago) link
he just didn't want to sign a one-year contract, which he has now parlayed into getting a massive overpay from the kings.
― call all destroyer, Saturday, 21 July 2018 02:21 (five years ago) link
in related news i was trying to check on his status earlier today and realized that there is no player whose name i had less of an idea how to spell....like i was typing stuff into google and usually search suggestions bails you out but i wasn't even close.
― call all destroyer, Saturday, 21 July 2018 02:23 (five years ago) link
3rd year not guaranteed but my god he made himself *at least* an extra 9 million bucks by being indecisive. that's incredible work.
― call all destroyer, Saturday, 21 July 2018 02:25 (five years ago) link
the kings are so weird. and yeh every time i see his name i want to pronounce it bell-ick-uh
― InfoWarriors (Spottie), Saturday, 21 July 2018 03:09 (five years ago) link
From a fan's point of view, that makes excellent sense. I'd love to see it happen. But more people live on the east coast and seeding by conference allows some weak teams in the weaker conference to claim playoff spots and the owners might see value in that. And they own the league.
― A is for (Aimless), Saturday, 21 July 2018 03:50 (five years ago) link
wouldnt 1-16 seeding give all superteams an easier path
― micah, Saturday, 21 July 2018 04:15 (five years ago) link
Only if the super teams are in the stronger conference of the two. LeBron's Miami Heat team got the benefit of western teams beating up on whoever emerged into the Finals, while they mostly coasted in.
