***Official NBA Thread***

Was just tuning in to ESPN to watch the Marshall-NIU CFB bowl game and they had an NBA round up show finishing up - they showed a vid of Lebron's son playing school basketball...kid already looks pretty ****ing good.

Lakers beat Warriors without Kobe...hilarious.

Dunno but I piss myself every time I think of Melo. All Star level but not a Superstar. Him and Amare have been exposed.

 

[Anil]

amare was made to look better than he was by nash when he was in phoenix, without a great PG to feed him, he has shown himself to be a very limited player...and injury-prone to boot...i always thought that 5 year $100 million deal he signed with the knicks was completely ridiculous...

as for melo, i think he was hyped because he came in the same year as wade and james and was constantly compared to them...i am not sure if i am remembering correctly but wasn't he the only one who got into the playoffs his rookie year of those 3? if i am right i think that served to increase the hype...it was pretty clear from the start that he was an excellent scorer and not much else...

Also the Bargnani trade. Lol, Masai Ujiri is a genius.

Is this Knicks team worse than the Isiah teams? - RealGM

They have a payroll of 90mill with a winning percentage of .152. That has got to be some sort of record surely.

Lol, this could take some time to rebuild.

When I think of the Knicks, I think of the Angry Knicks Fan. If you haven't seen this, watch it all the way lol:

Went to the Nuggets game last night. What a roller coaster. Butler delivering again and Pau with 9 ****ing blocks.

Heh, I was expecting some lame white boy handshake, but that was hardcore, the grip and the eye contact.

In even funnier news, Melo has an "injury." If the Knicks were to trade his fatass what kind of value do you think they can get? They have Amare and Bargnani as expirings as well so they might be able to fill out the roster a bit better.

 

[duffer]

RIP Stuart Scott. RIP, just 49.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Expirings aren't worth **** these days. You're dreaming.

 

[duffer]

No ****, they'll let them walk and clear cap space for players who can create some semblance of a team with. Had nothing to do with their trade values, just Fatmelo.

 

[Anil]

knicks trade shump and j.r(!) to the cavs in a 3 way trade with the thunder, sending waitiers to okc...is shump a bigger plus than the gigantic minus that j.r is?

[duffer]

Officially in tank mode then. Calderon is the last left, though I can't see them getting rid of him without shipping a pick.

 

[duffer]

Gets even funnier, Knicks haven't got a first rounder this year, there's a weak free agent class this year and the Nuggets have option to swap their 2016 pick with the Knicks. Oh my god.
