Great season fellas!

After it settles down a bit people will realize that this was one of the greatest seasons in the history of the game.

Agreed. Has been great especially using a large amount of minutes from the bench all year

Great win. Great season. Hopefully people stop talking about Irving/Love and think about how hard it was to win 67 in the west and then get through NOLA/Griz/Rox/Lebron. Amazing.

A few drinks tonight.

Oliver King

Congrats to you as well. Missed you in my other post

You are right about a few drinks!!!!

Great effort to play our way and win it all.

Great to see Iggy win the finals MVP, so many contributors, Livingston, Barbosa so underrated, the sacrifice has been talked about, triple double for Draymond, great interview with Sage Steele on how he bounced back in this series.
When a guys number was called everyone came to play, when it wasn't they stayed positive.

Proud that we showed how balanced our offence could be, just so happy after avoiding the scores all day.

Thanks to all the contributors on this board, it has added another dimension to share thoughts along the way.

WORLD CHAMPIONS!!!!!!

Third most winning season (inc post season) ever...nuts.

Not sure how you improve on that. Dray closes with a triple double and probably confirms the max, Barnes versatility looks invaluable, Klay had a disappointing post season but is locked up tight...hard to see Lee, Bogut or AI moving.

Maybe as champs we get first dibs at a few vet mins.

Huge off-season now. Hope ownership is ready to spend some money. Moving on David Lee will be huge.

But, but, but I like D-Lee Glad he got a ring after all the trade speculation and years at the Knicks

 

[RickSanchez]

Sucks about the games being early over here, too early to drink
Going away this weekend, gonna dedicate a lot of the drinks to the guys.
Iggy was absolutely massive.
Fantastic season guys, bring on the next.

Interesting to read that Barnes had never had a sip of alcohol up to this point! Always seemed like a very sensible guy

Ultimate professional. Would be a gym rat and train looking for perfection. Sometimes I think it adversely affects his game as he can look quiet mechanical at times. It's like he has already decided what he wants to do before he does it and doesn't always react well to the situation. His work ethics make him perfect for the corner 3 though!

 

[fronkalicious]

Surely we ship Lee back east. Washington, Toronto, Boston could all use him.

Wonder what we'd have to add to get someone to take him and/or what salary we'd have to take back.

Met Bogut at the football yesterday. Really nice guy and very forthcoming about basketball matters. Just a Man Mountain when you see him in person in causal get up.

 

[djrossie16]

Really happy with the Looney pick. Seems like a steal to me. Has the all round game to make an impact on the roster somewhere down the line.

Yeah probably the best we could do with our pick. And he won't be under any pressure to perform straight away, so hopefully he can slowly develop behind the scenes.

 

[fidstar]

Wouldn't expect a lot of minutes next year as we don't have any holes in the roster, though Kerr does like to surprise sometimes.

 

[fidstar]

How long before we will be removing the "David Lee" from the thread title?

Perhaps when he is traded?

 

[fidstar]

Perhaps when he is traded?

That was my round about way of saying "When is David Lee getting traded?"

 

[Kramer1]

Looney looks a Kerr special...long, mobile enough, could play the 3 or the 4 or even a small ball 5, could potentially stretch the floor, looks a solid citizen. What's not to like.

 

[Kramer1]

That was my round about way of saying "When is David Lee getting traded?"

Think this will play out for a while...Aldridge, Love, Harris, Monroe and others will need to find homes before Lee is even looked at...compounded by the fact Lee will get a say where he goes. Won't be easy but has to happen somehow.

 

[mitchzz]

Thanks for the memories David Lee! Should see good minutes in Boston

Not sure about Gerald Wallace tbh, will probably just warm the bench

 

[fidstar]

I think Wallace will be cut.

We'll probably use the stretch provision on Wallace. Will save close to $50 million! Lee can't be stretched because he signed his contract before the new CBA.

I wish him all the best. He was reliable as a starter, and a true pro this season when he was relegated to a bench role.
