NBA off-season thread

Is it next year's pick?

 

2015

 

If Sterling has a clue, and there's no evidecne that he wants one, the Clippers have a window to temporarily outshine the Lakers. They just have to avoid the stupid acquisitions, like getting Garnett or Bynum.

If Howard is at all capable of being motivated to play hard for a season or two, the Clips could really make the Buss kids look stupid.

 

I liked the rumor about Howard being dealt to the Clips for Griffin and someone else. It will never happen, but I liked it. It would be interesting to see Paul and Howard together.

The Buss children fucked up by not hiring Phil and they've fucked up again by not going to him this off-season and begging his forgiveness for fucking up in November. I think the Lakers are banking on LeBron opting out and coming there after next season. I don't know if that's likely to happen, but the Lakers often get lucky like that.

 

If the Clippers can acquire Garnett and Howard for Griffin, Jordan and Bledsoe, do it.

 

If the Lakers get the sense that Howard is willing to walk, it will be interesting to see if they try to work something out. I don't think Howard wants to play with Kobe again. I think he would be very happy to go to Houston or the Clippers. But, since the Lakers can pay him more money, it will be interesting to see if that's enough to keep him there.

 

Nerlen Noels is pissed.

 

Toronto born Anthony Bennett is the first pick overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers.

 

David Stern looks like he's having the time of his life.

 

Noel will probably get picked here by the Suns.

 

Nope.

 

Well, I was wrong. Alex Len gets drafted by Phoenix.
