2016 NBA Season Notes/Info

I remember making a thread about trading for DeRozan here many years ago and it was really poorly received.. LOL

With Harden now at PG he's easily got a claim as the top SG in the league.. certainly so far this year he's been that.

I posted multiple times we should go after him with a max contract this off-season knowing we had almost no chance. Most people did not like him and thought he as not worth a max.

Pretty good idea, people don't like too many outside the box ideas they tend to get defensive. he'd certainly be a great match with a 4-man like Trey Lyles with what goes on in the perimeter action, I'm certain of that. It's not like you can guard him like a non-shooter, if you give him too much space he can collapse the whole defense in a blink of an eye, it's 2 points with a possible and-1 if the help comes too late..

Joe Johnson and Boris Diaw for almost 20MM just doesn't do it for me.

Burks is slightly redundant with him but can play PG, they could actually run 4-wings Burks-Hood-DeRozan-Hayward-Favors/Gobert. Burks could be traded to recoup some assets and cap space if needed. Could easily wait til next trade deadline to cut costs.. Wouldn't go into the highest luxury tax bracket signing Gobert annd Hayward if they kept eeverything else low cost.

Would increase the risk of Favors walking 2 summers from now but thats plenty of time to obviate the situation many different ways.
 
If the Cavs can't repeat and fall in the finals, the big question will be:
Would we have won in '16 with Wiggins instead of Love?
Would Wiggins over Love have given us enough of a punch to equalize the x games they were behind GSW in '17?
 
Watching Karl Anthony Towns bring the ball up the court it's astounding that he's 7'0 tall. He moves so well. And his 3-pt. attempts/game have gone from one to almost four, at 39% compared to 34% last year.

"I heard this weekend that Klay Thompson may be available, I heard that rumor going around involved w/ a team that wears green" @Scalabrine
 
Good trade for BOS imo. They are starving for a star player over there and Klay would be great for them as they have no shooting outside of Isaiah.

I'm not convinced Thompson is that much better than Bradley.

I know Thompson isnt better than Bradley+Crowder+Top 10 in deep draft

They arent going to move Thompson. Im calling BS on the rumors. Certainly not for that deal. That pick means notning to them right now. They are in full blown win now mode. I like Bradley, but I still wouldnt make that trade. Fantasy bssketball yes, real life no.
