2015-16 NBA Around the League Thread

[Benchmob757]

Looks like Larry Sanders is eyeing a return to the NBA. He could be a nice addition, good rim protector, esp if gasol goes elsewhere and we finally part ways with Noah or Taj.

I agree...very nice of Wade to LET Lebron win two Finals MVPs. Sweetheart of a guy.

LeBron is great enough to overcome the negative things he does to manipulate things behind the scenes. He could have been the greatest. But that ship has sailed. He is worthy of some legit criticism.

Most of the great players manipulate behind the scenes. Culture of the league. Just don't like when people make shit up and rewrite history.

[Chris Mannix] LeBron, Cavaliers running out of time to figure things out: "The disconnect between Irving and James is real, several scouts and coaches told The Vertical, with the on-court chemistry between the two, said one scout who saw Cleveland play recently, “basically nonexistent.”

LeBron James needs to stop "leading" through the media and social media, and start doing more of it behind the scenes in the locker room.

Cleveland is never going to win a championship at this rate.

[Charania] The San Antonio Spurs have waived Rasual Butler to create space for Kevin Martin

Cavs 30-11 with Blatt. Cats 14-7 with Lue. I bet Blatt just smokes stogies all day and goes dumb Americans!

Not really news but I decided to check out the auctions tab on the NBA website. As of right now, Kobes all star jersey is at 48k. That's crazy

To lazy to link since I'm on my phone, but Joey Crawford has retired early(thank god) due to a knee injury. He was a joke so good riddance.

And Nate Robinson is going to try out for the NFL. For those that don't remember, he went to Washington for football and then ended up walking on to the basketball team.

I'd think Nate could do it as a corner, but being past 30 and post ACL tear, he'd probably have a hard time of it.

Blatt was born and raised in America. He is as likely to say that as Thibs.

Probably right, but you never know, he hasn't been delivering tackles and taking blows to the head during his basketball career so he's probably a little more spry than a 30 year old nfl player

For sure, but he'd also then have to adjust to contact as well. Instincts and stuff as well. But Nate has a lot of heart so I think he could pull it off.

Chalmers might have a torn achilles...Grizzlies are just decimated with injuries right now.

Took that super seriously

 

[clonetrooper264]

Marc J. Spears on Twitter: "Sixers say rookie Jahlil Okafor has a small tear in the meniscus in his right knee and will have arthroscopic surgery. Expected out 6 weeks."

How dare he get injured amirite?
