2013-14 NBA Thread part 1

Okay Dick, read this and tell me where in this preview is the Case for the Team

Seems to me like the whole thing is the scout take, there are 30 of them

 

I actually do like that. It's way longer than the magazine excerpts from the scout interviews. I love scout talk, though. So refreshing compared to coach speak.

 

But I was completely wrong, that's the narrative here. You need to keep up bashing me for posting something that has been done over and over and over.

I'm telling you guys they used to do one paragraph, they were never that long before. I have every SI NBA preview since like 1996 and it's never been done like this.

 

Lighten up, Joan of Arc.

 

When you admit you were wrong about the scouts take, I will.

 

I hear this year SI's doing something COMPLETELY different and giving predictions on where each and every team will finish in their division and conference AND predicting the playoff outcomes. Radical.

 

I thought you were going to say they had a man with a tape recorder up his nose.

 

Wizards trade a 2014 1st round pick and Okafor to Phoenix for Gortat and a few other players who likely won't be retained by the Wizards. Protected pick. Does that mean the Wizards get that pick back if it's top 12?

This is where the Wizards will win 39 games, get the 8 seed, get swept by Miami, and are ass out of the draft pick.

 

They must like Alex Len then. Phoenix.

 

The Suns have a chance to have four first round picks in the 2014 loaded NBA Draft.

 

top 12 protected next year and top 10 protected until 2019.

 

Spurs are back for blood, if you believe the local media here.
Watch out, boys!
