Actually I am looking at players which had been not signed up in NBA and are now playing in different leagues.
Two of the know NBA players now are Jeremy Lin and Lance Stephenson.
Others are Brandon Bass and Ty Lawson et al.

I guess they are really trying to pull more NBA players for tickets to sell and also if there is a pay per view.
They are paid quite well and this guys needs a job that would pay for their necessities.
Unlike the NBA you will just get 5 to 6 digits for being a bench player while in China there is a chance to be a star and be paid better in the long run.

Yeah, there's more money but there's less fame in overseas. Those players that were not recognized that much in NBA eventually plays in CBA. Like even Stephenson can fight toe to toe against Americans, he wanted to be a star I think. There was a game in which he scored 30+ points in an Asia tournament versus a team in my country Talk N' Text. And most of you maybe does not know Pierre Jackson. He is currently playing in CBA and his stats are decent. It's JUST 40 points per game only Wink

with 9.3 assists and 6 rbs per game. That's quite big even though he's pretty small for his size.

You can't blame people that wanted to play in the other league. Some are just chasing money and wanted to be a star on their team. Unlike in NBA they are benched in which they can't showcase their true potential. Goodluck to them.

Man, the Lakers did not extend Stephenson's contract and no team I guess had shown interest in him. I mean, maybe he will have a better contract in the CBA knowing that it is the second largest professional league next to NBA.

It's just that the current starting line up of the Raptors are all defensive players, and Lin lacks defense that's why he was not give a decent minutes.
But yeah,,, let's move on, both are not in the NBA now, let's discuss on players that are still in the league especially the new one which we think has potential to be a star.

That's the point. For the love of this game, aside from being paid with your regular salary, you also wanted to still being known as a good player and be an inspiring individual who will continue playing this game even not in the main league where everyone was dreaming, but instead being benched for the rest of your time choosing to play outside will be a good option for anyone who wanted to showcase their talents. Lets face it, the league have a big competition around, so instead of trying harder, best to choose for another option.

At least Lin had his won a championship

Winning a ring like that with zero to no contribution, thanks but no thanks. Playing in the finals for only one minute, rest just cheerleading on the sideline. Cheesy

I'd rather have no NBA chips but 3 Olympic golds, NCAA title + MVP of the final four, 10x all-star appearances and a scoring title.

Why are we even putting Lin and Melo's names in the same sentence, that's fucking disgraceful.

It's obvious because he was not signed after the finals, but although he has a small contribution, he is still part of the team as they will not become a champion if they didn't did great in the regular season and I think LIN somehow contributed in the regular season.

It's just that the current starting line up of the Raptors are all defensive players, and Lin lacks defense that's why he was not give a decent minutes.

I doubt they will risk by putting Thompson in playoffs, dude had a serious injury and one of the best defenders in the league, in order to keep his lateral movement going he has to recover really well and I doubt they will have a big chance to win the ring this year so there is no reason to force Klay to come back and play for just 10 games or whatever he can play.

True, I think the chances are low this season. They need Thompson. I'm not doubting D'Angelo in my statement but, Thompson is more of a shooting guard if Russ will take Thompson's place in the meantime.

Quote from: beerlover on September 17, 2019, 12:21:10 PM

He won't be ready and just out of a new injury with no game shape at all, of course he would be better than any other person they will play but its a risk that is unnecessary if you ask me. Can they do it? Sure. Should they do it? I don't think so. Klay should relax until next season and come back fresh and get his speed up slowly at the start of the season and get better until the end of the season to make a difference in playoffs.

They probably can do it if a miracle could happen between D'lo and Curry. Not to mention, they have Cauley Stein that is a traditional center and Draymond Green. I hope Dray could get his 3 point shooting back since it could make a difference. I wonder who would be their six man this year Huh

. Well, Andre Iguodala isn't a warrior anymore.

No team could really hurt by signing him for vet min and play him 10-15 minutes a game, that is literally least they could grab him for, if I was the owner or GM of any team I would snatch him for sure because he is way more talented than minimum but will sign for minimum.

Salary is not the case. They can even offer above the minimum or will not take Melo on a veteran contract, in other words, the usual contract. Their concern is Melo's supposed behavior and pride. Other teams might think he will destroy the chemistry of their current roster.

Remember that Melo's journey to OKC and HOU is not that good. And the fact that the closest rumor which is LeBron James will push Melo to the Lakers didn't happen, I think it gives more reasons for other teams not to sign him. And later on, being rejected at Team USA and that's it. Melo even turned down his pride and wants to accept any role, contrary to what he wants, because he really wants to play. Some superstars also support him.

But after that, still, no clear signs that a certain team will sign him. All is just a rumor with no progress.

Wade: "I want to see Melo latch on to a team."
Where is that team?
Wade: "The place that wants him, The place that’s going to allow him to be Melo and understand that he still can play the game of basketball.”

Melo could still get a deal but I think he should take a non-guaranteed deal, that way he would take the minimum and than if the team doesn't want him they can just waive him and not even pay him because it would be a non-guaranteed deal. Howard took a deal like that in Lakers, its risky for the player but Howard had to show people he still got something to offer, Melo could do the same as well, Lakers could actually be a good place for Melo because he was good friends with Lebron and the team lacks SF but makes up for it by playing other people on SF position.

No team could really hurt by signing him for vet min and play him 10-15 minutes a game, that is literally least they could grab him for, if I was the owner or GM of any team I would snatch him for sure because he is way more talented than minimum but will sign for minimum.

But Thompson is still injured and we might not see them play together after the all-star-break.

I have to verify your statement as I don't know when exactly he will be back.
According to my research based on this site , https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2843955-report-klay-thompson-undergoes-successful-knee-surgery-to-repair-acl-injury ..... he will be back either february or March next year, so that's still good as long as the Warriors keeps their rank in the top 8 as that will guarantee them a playoff berth.

Quote from: Yaunfitda on September 17, 2019, 02:57:50 AM

The new splash brothers will be D'Angelo Russell + Stephen Curry. We don't know how the two are going to blend though, but I'm sure every GSW fans is very excited to see them together playing.

I'm also excited, D'Angelo Russell has improved a lot, in fact he had his first all star appearance last season, so he will be more confident now, especially that he is playing with a great team that had multiple championships.

Quote from: Yaunfitda on September 17, 2019, 02:57:50 AM

I'm not saying that it will replace Thompson and Curry but having D'Angelo Russell in the team will bring something new in the table here. No more Durant and it's going to be Steph Curry's team once more.

He won't as Thompson is special, they could be a big 3 in GSW.

February is around all star that's why I said it he could return after the break.

Yes, that combination is new but I guess Curry should adjust again. Good thing is that he was able to do that when Durant was still in GSW uniform.

Could be big 3 who knows, all great shooting guards and almost two of them playing the same time. We might see them play together if the situation arises.

Yes that is way far for a comparison.
Lin had his time and so is Melo which have been really made a lot of contribution for a lot of years. Name it, Denver and Knicks and even in Houston.
While on the other hand, Lin just did it because of the hype. Not too many Asian could make something happen. He made some Asian believe it is possible to dominate the NBA which is also good.

Now, look at how the Olympics end. So many changes already happened.
Oh and another addition, there is a league now which is being played by Asians where NBA players do play. Lance Stephenson is one example.

Melo's still unclear having a chance to play this season, though there's still time for him, crossing fingers.

We so concern about him but he was so selfish during the time when he was still in demand in the NBA.
I've seen a video that he was the reason why Jeremy Lin did not continue his Linsanity, now the is facing a bad Karma as no team will sign him anymore.

At least Lin had his won a championship and now playing in a team outside the NBA where he is receiving a decent salary.
I think Melo has to move on chasing teams in the NBA, maybe outside NBA there are teams that are waiting for him.

Means that there's still no offer from any team if there will be, I'm sure that everyone would be rushing to post the source here. Looks like Steve Nash is helping Melo to take a contract, crossing fingers for Melo.

Just one of the many veterans saying Melo should be signed. He does have something to offer and I think various teams are interested on really signing him. Maybe it is the kind contract that both parties could not agree with. If Melo could agree to a minimum, I bet teams would rush to get him.

It's a two way channel that needs to workout with this signing issue for Melo I agree that if he's not asking for something and willing to adjust with minimum there's still interested team who can sign him up, but if there's problem with salary it's difficult to find team that's willing to give him a contract.

Melo's still unclear having a chance to play this season, though there's still time for him, crossing fingers.

Is there any news yet whether or not Melo is getting signed? The window is closing fast with just over a month before the 2019-2020 season kicks off. I was expecting him to be signed by the Nets but I haven't read anything that suggests they'll sign him.

This is the latest that I've seen about Carmelo Anthony.

That handicap gave them a small chance of winning during the last season.

But it's a true statement that if many of their players were not injured, they can take the trophy but everybody just have to move on and luck's with Kawhi during that time.

Better luck next time for the team, maybe it's not for them. Most probably after they've move on there's another great moves and strategies to follow in order to avoid certain enjuries that had happened. They should be more careful and avoid frequent body contacts that triggers physical accidents.

Yeah, if it's for them, it's for them but it seems not for the last season. Everyone awaits for this upcoming season and is the roster update and changes have not yet done, right?

Who is looking to follow to the new team of K.Leonard?

Thompson will be able to play in the playoffs, so they have a chance to be in the finals again.
We've seen him injured many times and it does not affect his playing capability, the fact that the Warriors gave him a maximum contract, they know that Thompson will be able to recover easily and will be back healthy to bring the team into the Finals again.

Thanks to modern medicine as Klay said, he can back probably after the All-Star break. That is mid-February so I will assume he will be doing fullcourt drills at early to mid-January. There is a high chance he can play at the playoffs. No need to worries about the possibility of lack of performance as what he just needs to do is to shoot that damn ball. No need to force being an athletic on that part*.

He needs to be careful so he will not be injured again, he is more effected in shooting the ball outside as he is very consistent.
Curry and Thompson both have won the 3 point shooting, so this proves they are really good shooters, I know Thompson just trying to show and prove that he is also good with his defense and driving the ball inside, but he is not that athletic and an athlete will be prone to injury if he drives inside, like Derrick Rose style.

As for me, I'll be happy if he can shoot at least 5 3s per game, is that too much to ask?

Admit it, if Thompson was not injured last NBA finals, they have a good chance to win even without Durant..

Wanted to rephrase this. Not only Durant and Thompson were injured. I think most of their team are injured at that time. And that's what makes them lost the finals.

That handicap gave them a small chance of winning during the last season.

Right, they still have Been and Curry combination and then some players that can really make a break out performance for them this year. We will definitely see the old Curry since KD is gone and carry the team again. They may have lost Iggy or the likes of Livingston, but they are still a team to reckon this season.

It's a Curry and Thompson combination, expect that both of them will average at least 20 points PPG in the coming season.
Thompson is well motivated now as he got a max contract for the team and I'm pretty sure that their consistent 3 point shooting will help them win more games again. They were the splash brothers who gave success to the team even before Durant, so I think people have to remember that.

Thompson is still in a rehabilitation mode from his injury, and if he will play he will most likely not in a 100% conditioned. I think that GSW will not make it to the finals this season since they are undermanned and without Durant, this team will be beatable.

Come on man, let's just move on from previous season and face that it's not for them. GSW has a good run over the year but they end up being choked by the raptors. Let's just hope to see another record breaking games from the GSW if they have the guts to make it though.

Actually their play-off journey is some sort mixed with bad luck.Why? Injuries do happen on most crucial moments on that season but i cant questioned Raptors skills/ability even if GSW is on their top condition they can give out some hard fight.
