The OFFICIAL NBA Off-Season Thread - Congratulations Chicago Bulls 7-0

[Dez!]

Like it a lot. I said when they changed their court (to the black/orange) that they should change everything else to those colours. Looks great.

That S logo looks sick.

So I wonder if Stephen A Smith's call about Bosh being shipped in the off-season will come to fruition?

He isn't worth that whopping contract.

Miller surely will get amnestied. He hasn't been able to play enough due to injuries, and he's aging.

As for the Spurs, what can they do? Clearly there's a transition in progress, but with a big acquisition and dumping Manu (it's time), they could still very much be the West's best next season.

Hello.

It's shit. Coming so close and not winning sucks.

That 2010 series still angers me.

Reading that makes me think about St Kilda's 2010.

[PP34]

Scratch what I said about Duncan, he's coming back.

Hopefully he can string together another season where his body doesn't fail him.

Take it to the GM for a day thread! Ban this fool mods

Ray Allen, best acquisition of the off-season?

I don't think we do much this off-season. Next season is all about moving towards a clean slate.

Hedo, Jameer and Arena's amnesty cash all come off the books next year leaving us with no bad contracts except Al Harrington (and perhaps Big Baby but at least he's productive).

I just want to see continued growth from all of our rookie contract guys like Nikola, Harkless, Harris and Nicolson.

It's 2014-15 we need to hope with our cap room someone wants to come join us at Disneyland to be with our rookies but I haven't looked that far ahead at who is available.

As of now I think we're getting set-up well in re-building Post-dwightmare.

Question for neutrals;

Ray Allen; has your respect for him changed at all after winning a second ring the way he did?

 

[PP34]

R.I.P LeBron to Cleveland again?

 

[djrossie16]

R.I.P LeBron to Cleveland again?

Kyrie and Lebron. I guess if you want to get those not 6 not 7 not 8 rings these are the decisions you need to make

Question for neutrals;

Not at all.

He was a free agent, he wasn't happy with his situation in Boston, he went to a team he thought had a better chance to win it all, he hit big shots and he won another title.

Good for him.

That's the NBA, players (including non-superstar veterans looking for titles) move around all the time.
The fact he went from Boston to Miami isn't really a big deal to the neutral fan.

I don't care about ray either way

yeah ummm. nah. he's always been a likable guy

 

[djrossie16]

I reckon if he stopped chewing gum 50% of my hate would dissipate. The best thing he's done is still his performance in He Got Game.

So I wonder if Stephen A Smith's call about Bosh being shipped in the off-season will come to fruition?

He isn't worth that whopping contract.

He could be nearly worth it but Lebron/Wade playing in tandem does not provide opportunity for him to do enough other than shoot. For his contract they could get a paint filler, tall skinny guy to shoot baseline jumpers (eg Bosh's role) and a useful wing player for spot up shooting. Or they could substitute one of those for a better PG. Or S&T for Josh Smith if we pick up CP3 haha.

 

[PP34]

Bullshit.

He's a flog.

 

[OrdinaryJoel]

Bullshit.

He's a flog.

Yet you still harp on about Da Big Tree all the time.
