Topic: 2019 NBA Pre-Season - page 1115. (Read 920252 times)

Well we are all talking about the list that @danherbias07 has posted and so far there is no team that an interest. If you haven't seen the list here it is:


And unless we have a official announcement from team that will get him, we can say that even if we are in pre-season and in full swing, those in the list are not going to get any team. But as we have also been discussing, he can still rebound, defend, block shots and even score if needed. So he can be of used by teams needed a big and experience big man.

What I'm reading about Howard right now is that he could be the Net's replacement for Drummond. He seems to be interested with the idea too but I think he just wants to land a team for next season and it doesn't matter if its the Nets or the Kings hehe. He's already looking for another career after NBA and he'll probably take another one-year min vet deal before calling it quits. That's plenty of time for him to get a new job.

Yeah Howard will get onto a team he can still provide minutes.  These guys have all made theor money most at the end of theor career take the vet minimum so they can jump on a ta that has a chance to play deep into the playoffs.  Just hope the Knicks steer clear.

The preseason is in full swing, and I think it's too early to say that no team is interested in Howard. I won't comment on his negative impact on team chemistry, but it seems to me he could still be useful on the court as a bench player. In addition, signing Howard wouldn't be a costly deal for the management of any team as he would most likely agree to even the minimum salary.

Most will have a place before the season ends.  Can never have enough ball handlers so Schroeder I think finds a home easy, and everyone likes a good 3pt threat so Avery Bradley should find easy as well.  The older fellas will struggle to find a home but I expect preseason someone to get hurt and these guys will eventually get scooped up.

That is probably the reason why he stayed at the Miami Heat despite of the situations they have, he could have more chance if he will teamed with other heavy all-star caliber players in the league but he chose to stay and probably the team where he will get his first ring. There may be issues with him and coach Spo but that was just a misunderstand which I'm sure they already fixed it in the same day. They surely both know that a misunderstanding will become a hinder to the teams success.

Dennis Schroder is not a bad player, there is no doubt about that but he is asking for a contract bigger than what he can provide to a team and considering the cap makes sure that all teams are almost maxed out, only a few team is left that could afford to sign such a big number and those teams do not look to get a good player to begin with, they prefer getting young rookies so that they could rebuild and be better.

Like even if Orlando had 100 million a year available, why get Dennis when you know that it will not make you that much better? Just tank and get another great pick and you will be able to rebuild faster with each new great rookie.

It is expected that Chet will have some struggles at first while adapting to the plays in the NBA because it's a lot different compared to the NCAA, the court is somehow the same but the 3-point line had some differences but the largest difference is that the NBA players are not like the players of NCAA. Chet will adapt just like fine, he just have to endure the likes of Giannis, AD or anyone in the center to pick up some experience along the way.

I agree! They should let go of Lowry because he is not that well enough in contributing the team and we saw his changes in the last conference finals where he is not that productive anymore which Bam and Butler was forced to carry most of the load because Herro was also injured that time. Lowry's body is not that strong anymore with the likes of LeBron and CP3. They should start to invest in their young cores to be the face of their franchise soon while Butler is still there to guide the young ones.

The game depends entirely on the strategy the coach applies towards the game. Players ought to abide to the strategy inother to win and generate good qualities. No coach will want to have a squad where his players posses fatigue or error in one way or the other. There is this adage that say "once you're good, you're good". There's absolutely nothing that can stop you, even the coach or the opposition can stop you from gaining winning points. Curry is sharp, brawny and posses the necessary skills and qualities any team needs at the moment to win games and titles. The Golden State warriors should have an impactable teamwork with Steve Kerr because he's one time player and have a lengthy experience in the game.

Yes, he said that but he said that as a joke because he knows that he won't get any offer from the Lakers because of the same fact that he won't be an asset for the Lakers. Well, that is still a rumor just like what I've said but as of now, the Los Angeles Clippers are the ones who are planning to get Green if he won't get a max contract from the Warriors. We will see soon if Bob Myers will agree with what Green wanted.

The Heat management have nothing to offer if in-case they wanted another all-star caliber like KD and Mitchell, that is the truth they are facing because if they have any special to offer then I really think they had already grabbed KD in their line-up because KD also wanted the Heat if he will be traded.
They will just have to improve their current line-up especially Robinson so that he can help Herro and ease Butler's load because just like as you said, they won't reach any far if there will be no changes in their roster.

Yes, you do really have a point about that because a different coach will have a different strategy and style of attack but that still varies if the coach will be as good as Steve Kerr or with the likes of Phil Jackson but what if Curry will be under a different coach that have only little ideas on improving the roster. Curry will still be special but his talent will be predictable as he'll be playing with the same strategy for years and only do offensive styles.

Nevertheless, the whole roster of the Golden State Warriors is indeed lucky to have Steve Kerr as their head coach because Kerr was a unique player too when he is at his prime and had many experience. We can't say for sure that the Warriors will be in the same situation now if they had a different coach because there's also a chance that they'll be an average team.

Given that opportunities, Howard can still play maybe no longer at his prime but in terms of rebounding and play good defense he can still

provide, he can be a good addition in case Sun's decides to sign him, with the IQ of CP3 he can use Howard's presence inside with either a good alley-oop

dunk or both him and Booker have extra confidence taking long shots knowing that Howard will be there to try to have a good offensive rebunds.

I like this dude. Defensive awareness is high but he needs to be better at the offensive end if he want to be a ball handler for the Celtics 2nd team.
The problem now is they have Brogdon which I think will handle most of that. But, he could still be his wingman and prove his worth to go all the way up although there's still Derrick White.
He did play 30 minutes against the Miami Heat, listing 18 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists. It gets better, just 1 turnover. Checking his stats, most of his games played at 10-15 minutes are 0 or 1 turnover.

Yes, they will likely give him a max contract for this season just like Stephen Curry, and this is really a hard decision for the Warriors next season, they would need to pick who's gonna go and who's going to stay, and it is likely that they will still give Curry the amount he deserves, and for me, Draymond Green defensive plays were really crucial for the Warriors they needed his IQ on the defense and Draymond Green can surely make deep Threes aswell and can make offense in any position, that is how well-rounded he is, so they surely need Draymond Green now, but they surely will having trouble with the other warriors when their potential was unleashed, they can not make them stay for so long on the team,


If the Lakers could at least make it to the Quarterfinals I think the management will not have a hard time with their problem with Russell Westbrook, and if Dwight Howard can coup up fast with that chemistry he lacks then the Lakers could surely make a change with their pace for the next season, I think that the Lakers is still a team with such potential to rock the finals if they could always be healthy and no more injuries involve in any players they have then this season can be slick for them, but the recent rumor for trades are still not finished and the latest right now is Kevin Durant having a meeting with Joe Tsai and a possible trade would eventually roll but not for Kevin Durant but for Kyrie Irving instead well this could open up trade between Kyrie Irving and the Lakers, and Kevin Durant will likely to stay on the Nets for good,

Half of it may be because of that mistake he did, not taking the large sum of money offered by the Lakers. 
But I still believe he is a guy who could contribute. Maybe he can aim for the sixth man of the year rather than forcing himself on the frontlines.

I am happy I see different answers.
The other names that were said, like Dwight and Melo, are next to my list that I want to be signed as immediately as possible.
Specially Melo who really loves playing ball and we can still see the fire in him, unlike other veterans.
No votes for IT? Charlotte said they might get him back.

Well there were interviews on Dennis on why he turned down the Lakers, and if you have to read between the line, he is not comfortable with the Lakers and that's why he has to leave, I think it's fair enough. He even mentioned that him and his family are doing well in Germany, so maybe he has save a lot of money through his young NBA career. However, he is still very young and can play and we don't know the money that he has in his bank account is enough for his lifestyle to stay that way. Sooner or later he will have to play, and for us, his decision not to sign that huge contract is regrettable.

The man was amazing indeed when he was playing in OKC and that's why after that he got multiple offers but it seems like his luck runs down when he was playing in Lakers where he didn't get any good offers because he seems to play average like a role player. He needs to step up and make his own name but seems he was in Lakers back then, he can't really take the spotlight, and also when he missed some crucial shots, the fans blame him and that's one of the reasons his image is got damaged and his value decreases.

It was more of him getting injured, but I still he can still play, he was still in his prime. But we will have to see once he can go back again, that is if he has to found some teams that is willing to take the risk on him after getting injured. Even with the Lakers, with Lebron, they seems to have a good chemistry, and only he can answer why he doesn't want to sign that huge contract, he could have save his career with the Lakers and who knows, it might be a different path for them.
