2015-2016 NBA Discussion Thread

What makes you say that? Duncan will be 40 years old playing center, they have no interior defense with splitter gone, Marco is gone, Ginobli is contemplating on retirement, and Tony Parker is a shell of himself.

Aldridge is an iso dominant player. He can't play defense, and when his fadeaway shots aren't going for him he becomes complete trash. Remember the blazers vs grizz series? Yeah.

Your obsession with wanting lebron to lose is sad. I don't see the spurs making the finals with this roster.

 

The Spurs are probably going to have 20 seasons of 50+ wins in the regular season in a row that feet itself is worth more then championships in my opinion and now they have the roster to win at least one more time.

They know how to beat Lebron it won't be like the Golden State series where Golden State lacked the expereience the Spurs know what it takes and get shit done usually...

Sadly they played a healthy Clippers team in the first round best first round series I've seen though.

 

Chris paul wasn't healthy. Experience is out the window when your starting center is 40 years old playing 30 minutes a game. They lost an important shooter in Marco and have an injury proned Tony Parker. They aren't getting passed OKC or Golden State.

 

Raptors sign Corey Joseph from the Spurs good sign 23 years old knows the Spurs system and he can play defense he will definitely be an upgrade from Vasquez.

 

If spurs can sign David West that would be awesome.You guys forget that Kawhi is getting better and better every year, also they have the best co.All spurs need now is Tony Parker getting back to somewhere around his own level, because he was an engine of the whole offense a few years ago.

 

Yeah, I think that if Tony Parker can play well then the Spurs are set for a solid run next year.

Manu is coming back

 

Lmao regular season don't mean shit if you don't win championship. I sure hope you truly don't mean that they're more important than championships..

 

Watch out for them Lakers!

 

IT looks like David West has just signed with Spurs.

Quotes from David Aldrige twitter

 

Winning 1 championship is easier then going 20 years in a row of 50 or more wins.

Winning 2 or 3 you can argue it's harder but 20 years of consistent winning in the regular season and to top things off they in the West man that is not something easy to do and they will probably be the only team in the NBA ever do it.

 

I can't believe that DJ may still be going to the Clippers. That's a real scummy move if he just ditches the Mavs.

 

Whaat?I thought he signed with MAVS already.I read Parsons saying DJ is the best center also Cuban calling him franchise player.WTF??

 

It was a verbal agreement he had with the Mavs. Players can't officially sign with teams until July 9th.

 

man, the deandre thing is a nightmare, wow lol. clips pretty much holding him hostage.

spurs are for sure the winners of the FA this offseason. lamarcus and d west fit the spurs SO well. both smart, smooth, fundamental based players that will gel into the system.

 

Dam the West is going to be so fucking good.

Spurs , OKC, Clippers, GS, Houston, Mavs, Memphis, and Pelicans... Calling it now Portland won't make the playoffs in the West this year.

 

Well yeah, but it was announced as it was done deal.Really immature move by DJ.Anyways, Clippers looking really strong after this move.AS mentioned above West is getting better and better.

 

Not immature at all, Jordan can say he'll take it but verbal word means nothing if it's before the signing date. He didn't promise anything, and he overlooked all his choices and realized the Clippers are where it's at.

 

As far as i am concerned, man should stand by his word.I completly agree with the point that DJ made a good decision going back to LA, considering thats what he wanted.Every man should pick the best possible scenario for himself.However how Jordan acted was was immature in my opinion.Agreeing with Cuban and then completely ignoring him while he was meeting Clippers delegation, was poor move.I understand that he has a right to change his decision, but he could have played this a lot better.

 

Tristan Thompson is 100% going to do a 1 year Qualifying offer with the Cav's then sign with the Toronto Raptors next season it's pretty obvious he wants to go home and play for the Raptors the Raptors need him and he needs the Raptors he doesn't want to be coming off the bench.

The Cav's are pretty much guaranteed the Finals again 2016 if they don't make it, it will be because Lebron suffered a career threatening injury

 

I am a Knicks fan and personally love the offseason moves Phil Jackson has made, and am looking forward to watching my team for once. On a side note, the west coast in my opinion will continue to dominate the NBA with a few east coast team exceptions. The spurs are looking soo nice with newly acquired Aldridge, and the clippers made power moves by resigning Deandre Jordan and getting Lance Stephenson. The warriors are basically gonna be the same team next year. There is a lot of hype around the NBA this offseason and rightfully so.
