the tail end of the west is actually kinda uninspiring this season. like, who are sac going up against? mavs? suns? jazz? not a very competitive bunch.

cavs over okc

not able to put as much thought into this as in past years

MVP: durant
coach: donovan
ROY: randle
DPOY: draymond
6th man: IT2

west

clips
gsw
okc
spurs
rockets
memphis
jazz
NOLA

least

cavs
who cares

OKC over cavs

i say this every year but the clips could really break out this year. they had the best starting lineup in the league last year and the worst bench, and they added a bunch of dudes in the offseason. cp3 or blake could be a dark horse MVP pick if they finish with the best record

their jerseys are trash, DJ fake left, thats curse material, doomed to fail, fuck the clippers

chip: clips over cavs
mvp: brow
dpoy: brow
rookie: dangelo russell

Is randle eligible for Roy? He played half a game or so last year

theres no way the pels will win enough games to get the brow mvp.

MVP - Curry
6th Man - Iggy
DPOY - Draymond
COY - Kerr
ROY - Kevon Looney

Warriors over Cavs in 4

feel like the spurs are gonna have some trouble pulling it all together

yeah and pop basically punts so much of the regular season as it is

also tony is cooked :/

maybe if manu rests all season they can get a couple good playoff games out of him. idk

and the spurs only true centre is a 27 year old rookie

*Yawns* K we'll see
*scrolls thru endless array of "spurs are done" articles, touches the infinite void, makes peace with God *

haha there must be a mid season trade in the works

these are the sixth seed spurs who lost in the first round that we are talking about right

Yes, the team that was one win away from the 2 seed that added a perennial all star, that one

theres no way the pels will win enough games to get the brow mvp.

feel like a. there is a growing recognition that this is a silly way to go about things b. he might just be enough better than everyone else to overcome this prejudice c. nola actually has a p decent team + a major coaching upgrade (tho they r p banged up right now)

okay guys season commences and so does my hand-wringing about cavs injuries this year

also fu lagoon now we have to see olynyk's goofy-ass face every time this thread opens wtf dude

Don't forget league pass will be free for the first week of the season.

and thanks for the heads-up spottie

pelicans are extremely banged up--starting the season with third-string C, they just signed ish smith b/c tyreke and norris cole are out and jrue holiday is on 15-minute restriction for the next few months. it is entirely the davis/anderson show for a while.

a healthy new orleans is no joke imo but idk if it's gonna happen this season

also fu lagoon now we have to see olynyk's goofy-ass face every time this thread opens wtf dude

;)

the worst.

a. learn to use bookmarks
or
b. learn to appreciate the delightful kelly olynyk

i use bookmarks. it's just the principle of it, you bastard

kelly olynyk is nice

also suspended for the first game, forgot about that, not that it matters bc celtics open against the sixers

okc over cavs (i want to believe)

okc over gsw
cavs over bulls

gsw spurs clips thunder
cavs heat bulls wiz

gsw spurs clips thunder grizz rockets pelis crapshoot-prob-utah

cavs heat bulls wiz bucks hawks pacers raptos (two of the lower seeds will be 500 or below)

east:

cavs
bulls
hawks
wiz
miami
celtics
bucks
pacers

best west:

dubs
okc
rockets
spurs
clips
grizz
pelicans
mavs

MVP/DPOY: brow
6 god: isaiah
COTY: brad stevens*
ROTY: karl-anthony towns

*homer pick, objective pick=popovich

WCF: spurs over dubs in a hard 7
ECF: cavs over...eh i dunno, prob bulls

champs: spurs

this thread has become unreadable lol

no formal predix but in the west i like the clips rockets and warriors more than the spurs or thunder due to depth. could be clips year tbh.

brad stevens is probably a good COY pick yeah

boston #2 in the east!

via pelton

really weird that they decided to kick off the season on the same night as game 1 of the world series imo

ws descision prob made later

you would think manfried and silver would have each other's numbers to coordinate it tho

if lance can't find a role in memphis he should just go to china

memphis has a bunch of crazy but it seems like... good crazy?

grizzlies got a first

the heat got out of the repeater tax until at least 2020

has lance been waived yet

oh my god doc come on man

Lance blowing gently into Lebron's ear was a charming moment I shall always cherish.

docs gonna be gone by 2019 he doesnt care

wow he gave up a first for jeff green!

he's not even assertive

grizzlies got a first

― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Thursday, February 18, 2016 3:21 PM (8 minutes ago)

for christ's sake

next grizz game is must-see tv imo

Team that benefits from the Lance Stephenson trade, Denver. Pick goes to Denver if 6-14.

according to Bobby Marks, anyway

how does that work?

i guess the grizz keep it, unless? pretty weird

it's protected 1-5 and 15-30

nuggets are gonna have 3-4 first round picks this year

more likely 2

assertive jeff green is m/l the exact player the clippers need, problem is green has been booty for several years now

https://twitter.com/MarkMcClune/status/700417915296677888

or maybe more likely 3

lmao thats perfect xp

the clippers got jeff green LOL

omg dead

doc rivers aficionado of players he coached on the celtics

honestly doc trading lance and a first for jeff green has made this entire deadline worthwhile

surprised the raptors didnt make a move to upgrade at the 4 guess masai has his eye on the long term i guess, wldve been fun to see them upset cleve tho

haha yes. didn't the celtics get a pick(s) for Doc too? ainge is that dude

xp

yup lol

Bobby Marks
@BobbyMarks42
There is a possibility that the Memphis will not get the Clipper pick until 2021. Year will be based off the year Toronto receives LAC 1st.

some of these picks arent even real

magical realism nba draft

z. lowe has talked about how derozan will never be any better than this and their window is now

is there a limit to how many picks a team can trade other than the consecutive years thing

masai should probably focus on winning a playoff series or he might find himself without a job next season. team as constructed shd be capable of this but the way they got demoralized by DC last yr leaves questions

Xps

someone is going to pay derozan more than he's worth next year, hopefully a team i don't like such as the lakers

is there a limit to how many picks a team can trade other than the consecutive years thing

i think u cn only trade them like 5 years out? clippers may have gotten around this by having like cascading protections on picks

oh hey there are basketball games again tonight

@SHowardCooper
Jeff Green has been a Doc Rivers favorite for many years. Doc told me Green is one of the best NBA people to ever walk the Earth.

I ... needed the big trade. My friends. I am... so weak

a real character guy great locker room presence, does two dunks a year that make u think he cld be good at basketball if he had a different personality

im sorry clay the world is a ball of shit

... cough ...

Green will go on these two-three week stretches where he's great then just falls off a cliff

i have seen him do some amazing basketball things def its not hard to understand why ppl keep believing in him

p sure im on record as believing in him w/in the last year on this message board, was prob drunk tho

btw someone should kick off thread 2

yeah it's time

wait why do the raptors have a clippers first rounder again
