Mega Thread The Official Bigfooty NBA Week 5 Thread - Where's Kyrie?

[Look2Me4Guidance]

LeBron to the 3 point contest

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

These defensive schemes from the Bucks down the stretch are head scratching

 

[BigBreakfast]

Punctuation by the real MVP! Later Giannis...

 

[Son of Skeletor]

OK, who are these three point shooting juggernauts and what have they done with my Pelicans?

 

[BEaston]

Chris Webber drives me nuts. Fan Boi with no critical or analytical capacity.

One of the worst commentators of any sport.

 

[BigBreakfast]

When did Zo get a pull up jumper?

 

[Mr X]

Green getting ejected for a second technical for.....yelling at his teammate on the way down the court.

Lol. These refs need to come back and do some more time in local D grade comps, and harden up.

 

[Mr X]

The mask really doesn't help Van Gundy out much. It looks too small, and means you cannot tell where his face ends, and body starts. No evidence of a chin or neck!

You love to see it

See that iso fan bois. Move without the ball.

It's going to be interesting what moves the pelicans make. They basically have their entire roster except Ingram and Zion available for trade.

The sooner they get rid of Bledsoe and to a lesser extent Lonzo, the better they will be. Bledsoe is probably the worst pg in the league and no way in the world is Lonzo worth $20mil a season which is what he's probably going to get.
Adams is a very good centre but isn't 20% of your cap good.

Adams is a very good centre but isn't 20% of your cap good.

We signed him to a 2/27 extension, so basically 10% of our cap.

Is it outed news they are looking to trade?

A contender might like Bledsoe coming off the bench. But what is he worth? Maybe only expiring contracts and pick swap of early 2nd for late 1st. Or a 2nd tier shooter / wing.

I would keep Lonzo unless they want to bottom out again and get an extra 1st round pick in a draft.

he's getting 20% this season

I think they do want to keep him but his asking price is too high. You can't ask to be paid as an elite pg but continue to play as an average one

 

[Great8]

Randle super impressive again today

 

[Santoz]

How good's the fu**in New York Knicks eh!

 

[Great8]

How good's the fu**in New York Knicks eh!

Only early days but great that our season isn’t over by week 5

 

[nahnah]

How good's the fu**in New York Knicks eh!

Can be hard to beat when the 3’s are falling because Knicks are a very good defensive team

Tibbs strikes again.

 

[Son of Skeletor]

That's irrelevant to the future though. We're not going to get rid of him because he's making money this season.

If this season was all that mattered we may as well have traded our one million future first round picks for Harden.

 

[Mazza1234678]

How good's the fu**in New York Knicks eh!

Wait till Obi finds his legs

Love this roster this year, hard guys who wanna play defense and some exciting young guys mixed through

Looks like we killed the draft which helps

Charania] Brooklyn Nets have been granted a disabled player exception worth $5.7 million for the loss of starting guard Spencer Dinwiddie. The Nets have until April 19 to use the exception.

I think the nets also have the MLE available https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBA_salary_cap#Mid-level_exception - so they should be able bring in a couple decent players?

They have the taxpayers' exception, approx $5.7m.

I'm almost certain that they cannot combine the two exceptions, the most they can take back in a trade is the disabled exception, so just $5.7m. The taxpayer they can only use on buyouts or young unassigned prospects.
