BULL RUN until 2030

What do you guys think of the Los Angeles Lakers this season? How are they going to perform with a not so spectacular line up? With the projected starting five of Mozgov, Randle, Deng, Clarkson and Russell, how do you think are they going to fare against other teams? Will they be any better this season? How are they going to utilize the talents of their top pick, Ingram?

I always do believe in clarkson. I can see that he has a big potential about being the next kobe brayant in the nba? Well we all know that kobe will always be kobe but i can always see clarkson to be like him someday.
Yeah, Jordan Clarkson my man. He is the pride of every Filipinos here in the Philippines. Clarkson has a lot of potential thats why he chose to practice more than to join our national team on olympic qualifiers. He is talented athelete no doubt about that but compare to Kobe. Kobe is the greatest of all time. Maybe Clarkson will step on Kobe's footsteps. Lets see this season what are the improvements he gained from his training.
Clarkson is still very young but already a clutch player, if he will be give more playing time and will be trusted as the main man in the lakers, he will be develop more as he will have high confidence to lead his team in the game.

I am not quite sure Clarkson has the making of the next great superstar. Don't get me wrong, I like the kid because of his work ethic and his overall behavior. But there are a lot of things that a player must accomplish first before he could be among the best. He can be a good to great combo guard if he continues to improve on his game, although not in the elite level like Westbrook, or Chris Paul or John Wall.

they traded jose calderon i think. so they got good shooters. plus they got mozgov as a veteran center. they even acquired luol deng. they got great forwards and young guards. i do think they can fight, but not a great contender for a championship ring.
It is hard to expect that they will have a chance to rich in the playoffs this year, they need to fix the transition period first as they got new players and coach as well, it is a whole new thing for them as last season it was not actually a team play but rather a kobe bryant play.

Hello Guys Off topic about "2016/17 NBA Off-Season".

Hmmm You guys realize that Shaq is the 4th best center to ever play the game of basketball?

Kareem Abdul Jabar, Wilt, Bill, & Shaq? 5th if you wanna count Duncan as a center 
Most dominant? How can you be the most dominant and not be the best at your respective position...


I never saw Wilt  and Bill play but from what I understand he played with short
slow white guys and had little to no competition around the rim so very
difficult to judge.

I would put Kareem first then Shaq. I definitely respect history but its difficult to judge
when they played against garbage players.
Can't really say that they are garbage players just because you don't know them. There were a lot of great big men during the 60's and 70's. I would put Bill Russell over Shaq any day. That man can even be considered among the top five greats of all time. Over a dozen championships as a player and coach, multiple MVP awards and what have you. If anything, their play served as guidance to those big men who came after them.
We really cannot tell because they are playing in a different era, some players are better in our opinion but for other they are not that better, today's basketball is way more different from the past because today NBA players are soft and they can easily flop. Real warriors are in the past while today NBA players are some kind of gay.

The people you said is haters and the great example with that is lebron james he got so many haters despite on hes success i dont know why theirs so many memes spreading out their and some of them are making lbj images goes bad but we cannot please really anyone,

And also the flop issue has been counter measured by nba officials i dont think it will be happening again or if there will be i think it rarely to be happen and i think the player whos doing that is varejao  Cool hes always flopping.

Todays players are definitely soft. They are super rich and dont have much motivation except the "look at me" rap video culture we all
live in.  I respect the pioneer players much more who had jobs in the off season because they didnt have 100 million dollar shoe
contracts.

No it's not. If they are soft no one will offer a good contract to them so how they can take money?

It's just your own opinion but in reality it's not the real thing.

This era is more exciting because it has a more competitive players than the past, I guess it could be because of the technology nowadays that all the information are already published in the internet, I mean for a player who wants to develop his skills he could easily check on how to do it since the information is free and even kids now are very talented as well.

shaquille o'neal has arguments over all of them and he's better than Wilt. Wilt literally has no argument over shaquille o'neal except his padded stats in a shittier era. shaquille o'neal would absolutely murder any of them, if he faced them though. Why are you melting though? shaquille o'neal has been retired for 5 years, kid.

I cant say he is the 4th best center but rather for me he is in the top 4 best center in the NBA. Duncan for me is not a center, and for me he is the best power forward in the NBA.

Thunder another signing to help fill out the roster. I really like the
free agents they have picked up.

This is from nba.com and a solid little back up

OKLAHOMA CITY — The Oklahoma City Thunder signed guard Ronnie Price, it was announced today by Executive Vice President and General Manager Sam Presti. Per team policy, terms of the deals were not disclosed.
Price (6-2, 190), spent last season with Phoenix appearing in 62 games (18 starts), averaging career-bests in points (5.3), assists (2.4), rebounds (1.6), steals (1.19) and minutes played (19.5). An 11-year NBA veteran, undrafted out Utah Valley State College (now Utah Valley University), Price has appeared in 530 games (73 starts) with Sacramento, Utah, Phoenix, Portland, Orlando and L.A. Lakers, averaging 3.8 points, 1.8 assists 1.2 rebounds in 13.5 minutes per game.
I hope this guy would help but I really do not think he has the superstar skills to back up westbrook when he will be having a bad game, maybe let's just see in the coming season but I believe there are no major acquisition yet for the thunder.
I believe he will just be the third (even fourth) option in the point guard position. They have Cameron Payne, who they say has vastly improved this offseason, to back Westbrook up, and Victor Oladipo can also play both positions. They might play a lot of small ball because even their big men can also run because of their athletic abilities (i.e. Steven Adams and Al Horford).

LeBron James will re-sign with the Cleveland Cavaliers on a three-year, $100 million maximum contract, league sources said, and the three-time NBA champion also pressured the Cavs to finalize a deal to keep free agent J.R. Smith.

That's more than $33 million a year, fellas. Does that make him the highest paid player now? If so, he richly deserves it and more.

Also LeBron James is pressuring the Cleveland Cavaliers front office to get J.R. paid and signed. Same thing like Thompson. J.R. Smith's agent is LeBron James. I mean, at this point you can't really argue with anyone about it since he just won the title for Cleveland, in like 52 years.

He can do whatever he likes and his demand should be given by the management as he is in the position now to do that. Lebron feels he is the best player in the world, and we have witness in the past that because of him blatt was fired, so he is a special guy for the cavaliers.
JR Smith situation can go one of two ways. He can either use the chip as motivation to carry on playing well, which basically just means putting effort into defense. Or he can let the chip get to his head and go back to his chemistry killing days. I've known and seen headcases like JR all the time, and I see the latter happening.
I believe JR will stay in the cleveland cavaliers because lebron will get what he wants, he is the superstar of the team and he make history with his team now, so I think the pressure is on the cavaliers management how to handle the demand of lebron james.
Quote
JR Swish Is Better Than Klay Thompson
JR is an absolute beast on catch-and-shoot situations. I don't know if he's better than Klay at it, but he's one of the best in the league.

Because of the Cavs' star-power, JR's game gets lost in the shuffle a lot of times. He's a great 4th/5th option in any offensive system, great natural athlete, and an underrated defender.

Jr smith plays for now are very lame he is hitting only the baskets when he is firing up but if not he's nothing in the court and i really see many times that hes game is flop maybe he feels his age thats why he dont have he's shooting touch just like before, but on the other hand the team can really rely him when on those crucial time of the game because he can deliver those deadly three point shoot, and comparing him to klay? I dont think so klay is young and he have very high potential to belong to high scoring person on nba history.
