That is absurd.
I am still looking at GSW going to the championship.
They got a solid roster now with the addition of D'Angelo Russell. Next they still got Looney with just a little amount for their cap space and also this guy, Alen Smailagić. We might see him more this season.
Klay will be back in February so they will still got a lot of room to make it to the playoffs. After that it will be a hard fight again.
I will be betting for them as the Finals contender of the odds are good. x20 will not be so bad. Grin

The miami heat were "unbeatable" in their first year with Lebron, Wade, and Bosh and they ended up losing to the Dallas Mavericks. But I still think the Lakers are the favorite going into next season.

Yes, this is proof.
And whom did the Dallas got there? Jason Kidd, Dirk and Marion,Peja, Chandler and Terry. All are veterans. Barea is just the fastest on their roster.
There is no such thing as unbeatable team. There are times when they assemble stars it gets worse.

Lakers picks are really interesting, Let's not cross the bridge tho, til were there it is still too early to say but one thing is for sure Lakers this coming season will surely be one of the hottest teams because of this free agency things.

That's how Lebron James is loved by the analyst, any team he belongs to, they think that team will become one of the best team in the NBA.
Now, they have AD so the more they will right good stories about Lebron, it's just that Lebron is overrated and Kawhi is just so underrated here, what about the Clippers?

I am not so sure if Lebron gets involved with the current trades from lakers as always he will be able to drag a lot of good names from the NBA towards him and it has been proven a lot of times already. We know what can Lebron do for its team. Kawhi has not always been underrated it's just that the fanbase is obviously too far from each other, considering the fact that Kawhi is still a new one it is completely understandable

I don't have much to say about Lakers and with other teams. The league hasn't started and we should watch and see if they blend well.

That's is true is to early to analyzt let's wait to start the games before give judgement, if kawhi get the service to play to LA laker it's possible to be unbeatable team but not because kawhi is playing into coffers this season is very challenging and exciting games matches every super star palyer of the team transfer and traded in different teams.

No doubt LeBron will carry them all if needed just like what he did to his previous team. I wonder if there are players out there who can make a match with LeBron that would be challenging on their side since they have to harden their defense and offense if needed. But so far i can't find a worthy opponent for LeBron in the meantime. Cheesy

We already seen lebron getting shut before by gsw with their air tight defense. It can be done. And basketball is a team sports, not an individual game. When beating Lakers team, there are a number of teams that can do that. The first to come to mind is the new team of kawhi. Lakers may be strong with their line up right now, but I do not think it is unbeatable. It would be a thrill to watch these newly formed superteams clash next season.

With the current roster that they had, there is no doubt that they are a legitimate title contender next season. On paper, they seem unbeatable but they have to blend and jell with each other on the floor to translate to win that strong lineup on paper.

Well you do have a point where we cant make conclusions yet,they might be good on paper but all matters on how they do synchronized well
when it comes to team work.So much for these kind of team powerhouse discussions. Grin

Here is the problem though.
When you are trying to get Westbrook, you are not aiming for a championship. He is just not "that guy".
I have told it here for so many times. He can make different record breaking acts but yet why the hell is his team stops at the first round or the 2nd round of the playoffs?
For a player who averages triple double every game?

Randy M. Williams, a friend and a 'brand ambassador' of Kevin Durant roasted Russell Westbrook on an instagram post. He said that nobody wants to play with rust. Well, you said it, he just want to have his stats highlighted. But you can never blame him, he's just that type of player. Probably, he deserves to be alone surrounded with role players.

Quote from: Reid on July 09, 2019, 01:12:13 PM

One more thing.
Go to the East and he might have a slight chance. The West is just filled with so much power teams now.

Miami is the best landing spot for him and the next one is the Pistons. But, Miami is the most likely team to get him.

Hopefully russ and towns will click. Considering that they're in a very stacked western conference, they may have no choice or we'll see another big time player move out at the end of the season. Westbrook i think is more of a stat-padding type of player. You need to have efficient role players to make his style work, like the kind james harden has with the rockets. I hopenhe doesn't end up like another melo.

I dont know that T'Wolves is trying to make a trade for Russ but it might just work.

4 years contract $171 million. As a team manager or a governor, will I really waste that much for this guy who doesnt really pursue for a ring but instead more focused on his outfit every game? Grin

I dont think so.
But I guess Pistons might really be his good landing space. Why? He will not be the superstar there. He will be more like a wingman.

It cant be Houston. CP3, Harden and Westbrook? A big NO!
Miami Heat with Jimmy Butler? A big NO!! Why? Jimmy went to Miami to get the lights on him only. To be a star of a team.
Pistons will be his best shot and they are interested.

With the warriors losing key players I think this opens the door for all the other borderline teams that can make a real push for the finals.

Warriors have lost some key players that you cannot cross them out as a contender. They are still a very strong team. Aside from that, new superteams in the west are formed, both of them in LA. They can try but I am sure the new superteam will block them.

Quote from: Theb on July 09, 2019, 10:54:14 AM

Looks like my Timberwolves team is one of the frontrunners to land Russell Westbrook and the media is not quiet about it.

It seems that they are pushing for this. They are pushing Wiggins out of their team. This is beneficial for OKC because they can easily trade Wiggins in the future rather than Westbrook. I think timberwolves will still benefit from Westbrook's athleticism.

I think Kobe's championships are different from others as well, the first 3 was with Shaq and you can argue that Shaq was the alpha dog there even though Kobe didn't want that to happen.

However, we are talking about Kobe winning 2 rings with Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom as his best help whereas Russ had like Paul George just last year with a first round exit, I could maybe see them not getting a ring that is fine but if you are a first round exit then you are not at Kobe level at all, did Kobe had first round exits? Sure he even had a last season with something like 17 win only but when he played he was playing to win it all back in the day, even with a horrible team he carried them to playoffs multiple times, Lakers had NO business in playoffs many of those seasons and Kobe still took them there and moved to conferences finals with people like Kwame brown and Smush parker. Russ can't do that at all.

To be honest it's the first time that I'm not happy they will be receiving a superstar if this happened. Westbrook for me is not a long-term solution for the team yes he can contribute right away and help KAT but will he be here after the end of the season or the next one after that? I don't think so, I'll be glas if Rosas didn't push thisbtrade through.

It is better for teams to just tank and get a good draft pick instead of just barely scraping by and getting destroyed in the first round of the playoffs.

I wouldn't necessarily agree that tanking is the way to rebuild your team from this point on. Not with the readjusted draft odds.

Knicks were absolute horse shit all year long, hoping to get that number 1 draft pick - Zion, they obviously didn't. Traded away the Unicorn in hopes of signing KD - they couldn't and ended up with players like Taj Gibson and B.Portis. Cheesy

On the other hand, Nets had an early 1st round exist, but they did all things the right way. They didn't tank, they developed their young players, they have a nice coaching staff/front office and was rewarded by landing two superstars in the off-season + DJ.

NBA teams do not like first round exits for some reason, I don't know why, you are getting more money, maybe its because okc was spending too much money, that seems to be the real issue with them. They have been over luxury tax for a long time and still only reached the first round, however it was obvious for them to stay at first round or at best second round, they were never a championship team at all, so to think that they were spending money knowing that and now stopped would mean they had enough.

Maybe they want to get back on under cap space and just focus on rookies and so forth and build again so they could just stay under the cap space and not pay 100+ mil extra money for now. That seems like only logical reason to give away Paul George for just some picks.

Westbrook needs that team which doesn't have a star. Try Charlotte. Grin

Charlotte already acquired Rozier from Boston. So I doubt that they will get Westbrook as well. Even if they did, two starting guards, and knowing how Westbrook play and decision making, I'm sure the two will also clash. Grin

. I think it will be a terrible decision.
