Dolfan in NYC Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 I don't care if the Heat don't win 20 games all season. This happened: As a reminder, the Golden State Warriors blew a 3-1 lead in the Finals last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is that good. I can't wait to see what they look like when Simmons is able to play. Embiid is arguably the best defensive player in the league already. Posted on twitter yesterday prior to the game today. Last years Sixers were outscored -10.0 points per 100 possessions -10.2 ppp per 48 minutes. This year without Embiid is worse -11.2 ppp per 100 possessions, -11.3 ppp per 48 minutes. With Embiid the Sixers outscore opponents +1.5 per 100, +2.5 per 48. Won 8 of 9 last games when Okafor doesn't start. Edited January 17, 2017 by Cole Miner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Embiid/Noel works so much better than any other pairing of the three of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Not really NBA news but I feel a Seattle road trip coming up: Ice Cube created the BIG3, a 3-on-3 league (teams have 5 players) for recently retired players that will tour the country. They'll play in the summer and stop off at major cities without franchises and the biggest cities in the country. AI is going to be a player-coach (OMG YES). The games will have no time limit, instead ending when one team gets up to 60 and has a 4 point lead. There will be 4 pointers. The money goes into a pot with the champions getting 30% and the last placed team only getting 2.5%. There are no team owners. This is the best thing. Was this talked about elsewhere? If so, I apologize. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cole Miner Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Oh man ESPN just bumped Miami vs Chicago on the 27th and replaced it with Houston vs Philly. Simmons debut? Maybe. Potential instagram tease by him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 So, Golden State is now on place for slightly over 70 wins, which would give them the third best record ever, break another Bulls record, this time for best two year cumulative record, and I'm fairly certain shatter the NBA record for best three year stretch.

Zimbra Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Rudy Gay reportedly tore his achilles last night. Really sucks for him as he was planning on opting out after this year and signing his last big contract. Depending on how the next couple of weeks go I think this means we could see Cousins get moved at the deadline for picks and the Kings tear it down to the studs yet again.

Brian Fowler Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Didn't they just come to an extension with Boogie that means he can't be traded for at least a year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimbra Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 They've negotiated an extensions but weren't going to sign until the offseason, so currently he's only signed through next season with no options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimbra Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 It's a cold world, man. Selfishly, I'd like to see what Boogie is like on a minimally-competent franchise. But moving him to another team would mean him losing out on millions on his next contract and I'm all for dudes getting paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I'm sketchy on the new CBA, but don't teams retain Bird rights if they trade for someone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimbra Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 My understanding is that you can only sign the larger extension with the team that drafted you, or if you were traded on your rookie contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatling Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 And the money difference is huge right? Like isn't the extension the Kings are going to give him something along the lines of $200 million over 5 years? Even if they want to blow it up and trade him, sign him first and wait the year required by the CBA because Boogie on a 4 year deal even at that price is going to have a very high trade value.

Zimbra Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Yeah, the difference is massive. He can both get a larger percent of the cap but the Kings can also give him six-year deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
