Question of the Day Thread

[fidstar]

I picked this up from another forum. Every day a new question is asked by whoever gets in first.

First question.

You are awarded an NBA franchise in Las Vegas starting next season. The comish gives you the option to pick anyone in the league from any team to start as your franchise player. There is only one restriction, the player can't be Lebron James or Kevin Durant.

Who do you pick? Remember you are in Las Vegas, so while winning is important you need to remember that maybe entertainment value is just as important.

Tough decision between Blake and Davis, but I'd take Anthony Davis just cos watching Blake's jumpshot everyday would piss me off too much.

 

[mitchzz]

Anthony Davis got my vote aswell

 

[fidstar]

I would have thought Chris Paul would have been popular. Too old?

 

[djrossie16]

Matthew Dellavedova

 

[Drumroe]

I think Anthony Davis is the easy choice. Young, already a gun, and versatile enough so you can fit just about any players around him.

He seems to get nagging injuries a bit

Also I reckon building a team around a big man works out much better

Anthony David by a mile.

Unless I could take Eddy Curry to see him demolish the buffet.

OK its officially after midnight...
I'm here.

So...

Do you think the Bobcats can finish 6th seed and win a playoff series?

 

[DangerSloane]

Also thinking a rule that you cant ask a question 2 days in a row...?

 

[fidstar]

Bobcats need to finish 6th if they want a chance to win a playoff series. While it's possible they make it to the second round (only if they get up to 6th as they are no chance from 7th or 8th) I don't see it happening

I think the fact they made the playoffs means the year is at a minimum an A- for them, an A if they can force 6 or 7 games in the first round and an A+ if they manage to make the second round.

 

[fidstar]

Projection time...

Where do the following players finish their careers on the all time scoring list:
Kobe
Dirk
LeBron
KD

Remember it's when they retire, so Kobe could retire at number 1, and so can KD.

 

[fidstar]

well this didn't catch on like I hoped

 

[tigs2010]

Even though it's old question I'd take Harden.

2 reasons.

1) guaranteed 15-20 points per night from ft's

2) he'd be loyal and never leave Vegas.

 

[God Save Max King]

I've had Davis as the player with the 3rd most trade value for a while, easy to start a franchise with him. 2 way young big man with crazy athleticism and size. Range of skills. Can guard perimeter players and destroys the PNR both ways. Drummond close, but Chris Paul my 2nd player. Paul George would have to be tempting, seems to be that stripper culture in Vegas so surely he'd stay.

 

[DangerSloane]

Who is the real DPOY, not based on blocks or hype?

Al Jeff has been out of this world. Love his slow mo moves

 

[JohnW]

Haven't watched enough different teams, but George has been good on d, Jimmy Butler has been great while playing monster minutes, could Noah get a look in?

 

[fidstar]

There's only a few games lest in the season. Have a shot at who you think will be in the All NBA Teams (1, 2 and 3)

 

[djrossie16]

Noah Griffin LeBron Durant Curry?

 

[fidstar]

Does Curry get in over Paul due to being better or Paul missing too many games?

You don't have a true shooting guard/second guard

 

[djrossie16]

Yeah Harden Dragic others that come to mind off the top really hard to comment don't really watch enough games
