Where the F*%k is the 2014 NBA Thread?!?!!

Dallas is going to give Jordan a chance to be more offensive. He was 7th on the Clippers in shots taken and is a 70% FG shooter. He is either going to take the next step and become a 15pt/15rb dude or prove to be a much lesser player w/o a top PG.





Mathews is coming off a nasty injury.....and we are ridiculously weak at the Point.





That being said, I'm looking forward to see what they put out on the court this coming season.
 
Given the fact that Jordan only has two moves fast break lob and pick and roll lob I'm not sure how much he's going to add offensively. Plus like Rock said who is going to be throwing him these passes?

Guys play with great point guards and start thinking that they get all of these easy buckets because of their prowess, not their point guard's. The game ain't so easy without somebody setting the table for you.

What they're missing is 3 point shooting. They have a great young corps and some smothering defense. The lack of shooting through really hurts them.
 
hibbert to the lakers, lakers likely trading away the future (in draft picks) for him.


i guess it doesn't matter to them w/ kobe's deal finally done after next season, they'll be able to make some big money offers to FA's, I suppose.

They're gonna go after Durant with everything they can muster.
 
Is Hibbert really going to make a difference for the Lakers? That team is so lacking in talent and they can't even depend upon Kobe playing a full season.

I love dude but he has confidence issues.


They hope Kareem can get in his head and bring back that dude who mashed the Heat.





I cant wait to see him play against the Pacers on some revenge shit.....or some it aint happenen shit.

Dumb ass poast. No one is depending on Kobe to do anything. Funny shit.

Just looking at the general trend of things in the L, seems like Bigs have a harder time getting back in rhythm.





Same shit Kwame Brown had. Confidence issues. Don't think many are expecting great things out of Hibbert, but if he can play some decent defense, that will go a long way.

Yet we are all obsessed with them.
 
Tim Duncan, David West & LeMarcus Aldridge(who could play the 3 in spurts now that he has a consistent 3 pointer).





Jeremy Linburger to Dirk....???





Kyrie Irving.......Moe Williams returns/Delly


Joe Johnson...???..Iman Shumpert


LeBron James


Kevin Love


Tristan Thompson





Lou Williams to Los Angeles.....is he needed for scoring off the bench or are they already guard-heavy?
 
Karl Anthony-Towns is gonna have a very very good mentor in KG (with his 2 year deal).





For David West taking a significant paycut in going to the Spurs. Curious about the post-NBA career of having that "Champion" attached to your name, and what financial opportunities can or can not arise out of just that association. What are your thoughts?
 
Tim Duncan, David West & LeMarcus Aldridge(




Pretty much an Allstar team, personnel wise. Gonna be interesting to see how they develop with these guys incorporated. Those two acquisitions definitely don't add speed to their squad though, is my only concern. Another good athlete besides Ginobili and Leonard would help tremendously. You like to see your squad have diversification in your attack.





David West is gonna have an opportunity to do some dirty work though. You need at least ONE dude, be it Dennis Rodman or Peace formerly known as Ron Artest, to grab some extra possessions or play some tough D.

Hey Motown,





Jordan needs to see The Wizard for some post moves. Maybe Clippers would have gone to him more if he had develop some semblance of an offensive repertoire.





Peace,

Reporters are saying that Clippers officials have surrounded Jordan's house and will not let other people in including a representative from Mark Cuban. WTF?
