NBA 2016-2017 Season Thread

Classic Woodson. He starts two point guards against the pelicans and has Shumpert playing Davis

 

[indesertum]

Woodsons only good season as a head coach was when he did the exact same thing d'antoni did

Woodson is the first baked potato to coach an NBA team. Inspirational really.

Problem is great handling doesn't equal great play making. He can make great passes at times but he definitely looks to score first and pass later and even his passes tends to look fancy via lob or no look. Clips can't afford to not have a traditional PG.

Plus with Reddick out indefinitely and Dudley struggling, Crawford has even moved forward to the starting line-up as a SG already next to Barnes as a SF.


I actually wouldn't mind Miller on the Clips but only if wouldn't ***** about playing time. Dude still feels like he is in his prime.

I don't watch them as much as you likely do, but he seems effective when he's on the court. He wouldn't help Jordan much, and Griffin to a lesser degree, but if he were told to be the lead PG, he would adjust his style.

Miller needs 25 a night... he won't ***** otherwise. He was getting fucked with in Denver, 13 one night, 30 the next, that kind of ****.

Crawford can't adjust to be an effective and consistent PG, they've tried and it wasn't very beneficial. Crawford is an old dog in the league and you just can't teach an old dog new tricks. His strongest suit is to score and that is what they need him for, whether via iso or spot up Js, not creating another shot for anyone else.

If Crawford would have sufficed, then they wouldn't have signed 10-day contracts to other PGs as back-up for Collison.

Looks like the Lakers might have traded Blake for Bazemore and Marshon Brooks. I though Brooks had a good upside in him, he was doing well in his rookie year and just disappeared and lost pt.

Melo just left his man wide open for a three and then came down and took an awful three himself. Not a peep from woodson. Shumpert or someone else does that, he'd rip them a new one and they'd be on the bench.

I could be having the worst day imaginable but after listening to Avery Johnson, my troubles immediately disappear.

Looks like the Lakers might have traded Blake to shed a bit of salary.

FTFY
And so it begins.

yup. and they're looking to trade jordan hill. only two players they've got with any heart. thank you jimmy buss.

Couple more hours before trade deadline.

Hawes to Cavs.

Looks like Andre Miller might be going to Washington.

Deng is being chased by Wiz, Mavs and Pistons.

Pacers wants to move Granger but interest seems low.

Rondo still on the block but damn does the Boston need anymore picks?

wtf they got him for two second round picks and earl clark?

i don't know what they were thinking. hawes is like ryan anderson with blocks

 

[RFX45]

They're trying to bomb further to get that #1 pick.

They probably have high hopes for Nerlens too.

The Wizards, 76ers and Nuggets have completed a three-team deal sending Eric Maynor to Philly, Andre Miller to D.C. and Jan Vesely to Denver.

I guess Vesely is the best they can get for Andre?



Also, Bobcats is actually in the playoffs so the move makes sense.

The Bobcats have acquired Gary Neal and Luke Ridnour for Ramon Sessions.

 

[idfnl]

I hope Deng moves. He's a mess in fantasy right now.

I agree with above, Hawes is a solid player.

Is midnight the deadline?
