Kuetsar Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Really though, this feels like the year Rose stays healthy. The last two injuries were unexpected, and now everyone thinks he will get hurt again. SO he probably will make it through the season fine. Whether he can return to the previous level of play is a different question. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfredoE Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Ended up posting about NBA on the DIRTHSHEETZ Thread...Oops! My bad! Byron Scott press conference had Magic, Kareem and Silk Wilkes in attendance. Should buy him some time w/ the locals. Byron then mentions "Princeton offense" and we all get flashbacks to Mike Brown....UH-OH!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cole Miner Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 How to be the league's laughing stock. Try and delay lottery changes since you want to tank another year. I support what the Sixers are doing. Beats being an 8th seed contender every year but this is shameless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 So for all these years David Stern backed the NBA lottery system and said nothing was wrong with it but as soon as they GIVE the Cavs the #1 pick.....NOW THEY WANT TO CHANGE IT. They got LeBron back to Cleveland....thats what they wanted. If Cavs dont get the #1 pick...and get the 8th or 9th do we still think LeBron goes home? Wiggins is going to get him Love. But NOW ALL OF THE SUDDEN the lottery doesnt seem fair. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRGoldman Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Because that's what every league wants.....all of their most valuable stars and assets in Cleveland, Ohio. I will never understand the hate this cities sports teams get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But NOW ALL OF THE SUDDEN the lottery doesnt seem fair. Cleveland getting the #1 pick was actually showing that there isn't anything wrong with the lottery since it shows that a team with a low chance of winning the lottery can still do it. And the changes have nothing to do with the fairness of the lottery. It's simply to make tanking less appealing to teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Actually, they kinda see that as a problem. The absolute last thing the NBA wants is teams thinking that they have a decent shot at winning the lottery from the "barely missed the playoffs" ranks, leading to teams that are in the hunt for the 7th or 8th seed tanking. The plan the NBA pushed kept the odds on the people at the very end still extremely low, while distributing the odds more evenly over the bottom handful of teams. But the Sixers don't need to win the lottery with this plan. Another year of picking in the top 3 isn't really going to bother them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRGoldman Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 ESPN and Windhorst are reporting that Cavs and Wolves are on the one yard line, and it's only a matter of time. The Wolves have stopped talking to other teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomAct Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I still think this is a dumb trade for Cleveland if it involves Wiggins. Kevin Love is no more proven as a winner than Wiggins is. Love is basically going to Cleveland to be Bosh 2.0, except even worse as a defender. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRGoldman Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I still think this is a dumb trade for Cleveland if it involves Wiggins. Kevin Love is no more proven as a winner than Wiggins is. Love is basically going to Cleveland to be Bosh 2.0, except even worse as a defender. I think for a team that doesn't already have a championship, you can't think in terms of hypotheticals, especially with Lebron already 30 and with a ton of miles. Barring a major surprise or catastrophe, Love will be better than Wiggins this year, and if they sign him, probably for at least the next two. Wiggins' greatest strength is going to be his defense on wing players, which is a skill that takes at least a year or two to adjust to an NBA level. I know it's a different position, but look at Anthony Davis. He was one of the greatest college defenders of a generation, and during his rookie year he looked like a deer on rollerskates while trying to defend a pick and roll. I think anyone who thinks that Wiggins was going to come in and be able to guard the best player every night so that Lebron could take it easy was fooling themselves a little bit. I also think that calling Love Bosh 2.0 is underselling him a little bit. By multiple advanced metrics, Love is a top 4 player in the NBA, something Bosh was never close to. Also, many stats point to Love being an average defender, and probably an under appreciated one on one defender (although an admittedly poor help defender, due to him always looking to rebound). I think trading two players with very high ceilings and a draft pick is something I would do every time for a player like Love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
