NBA Thread

I'm happy with the team I drafted since I got decent all-around players who will be able to cover multiple positions. Besides, I was able to keep several players from last season such as Irving, Thompson and Monroe.

Kyrie Irving | Mike Conley | Kemba Walker | Jameer Nelson
Klay Thompson | JR Smith | Wesley Matthews | Iman Shumpert
Kevin Durant | Luol Deng | Danny Granger
LaMarcus Aldridge | Dirk Nowitzki | Ryan Anderson | Carlos Boozer
Greg Monroe | Omer Asik
 
My guys! I liked my team. Maybe I have to many guards? I'm up for trades, specially if its a decent SF-PF. Although most guys have 2 positions.
(PG)
John Wall
Damian Lillard
George Hill
Avery Bradley
Trey Burke
(SG)
James Harden
Nicolas Batum
Gerald Henderson
DeMar DeRozan
Jimmy Butler
Kyle Korver
(SF)
Ersan Ilyasova
(PF)
Nikola Vucevic
Tim Duncan
(C)
Nikola Pekovic
Jonas Valanciunas
Robin Lopez
 
Happy with my Squad. I'm hoping Anthony Davis, Drummond, and Favors have their coming out party this year. Kaman is on the block though. lol

Deron Williams
Tony Parker
Eric Bledsoe
Gordon Hayward
Jeff Green
Anthony Davis
Al Horford
DeMarcus Cousins
Derrick Favors
Andre Drummond
Tobias Harris
Kenneth Faried
Jamal Crawford
Nene Hilario
Wilson Chandler
Shawn Marion
Chris Kaman

I'm tentatively satisfied my squad.

Lin
Nash
Jarrett Jack

Paul George
Eric Gordon
Danny Green
Affalo
Thornton

Iggy
Gay
Harrison Barnes
Bing Parsons

Love
Zeller
Thaddeus Young

Brook Lopez
Enes Kanter

I was hoping everyone had forgotten about Bledsoe.
 
Nope. I've been following preseason and the Suns have been good in it. Him and Dragic alternate at the two guard spots. Love was going to be my first pick in the 1st round but you took him so I had to settle on Davis who has tremendous upside. I tried to stack my team with FG%, Rebounds and blocks.
 
Review got some young guns there, I had some of his guys pretty high on my ranks, Bledsoe, Favors, Hayward, Harris, Davis, Drummond, Boogie and even some I expect to take that next step like Jeff Green and Horford.
Lets switch teams man! :P

But I got my young prospects too, gonna be a good season I hope.

oh and what is draft grade?

edit: @tobi lets talk Chandler Parsons

Couldnt make it to the draft as my wife gifted me tickets to watch Gravity, but I am very happy with my team, very powerful with:

Rubio
Rondo
Lawson
Westbrook

Wade
Mayo
K Martin

Lebron
Kirilenko
Harkless

Griffin
West
Garnett

T Chandler
D Howard
Splitter
Gortat

It is a lot of players, dont recall how many there were last season. I will have real problems to discard players and probably wont win free throw % ever but very powerful in points, rebounds, assists and blocks!
 
Sauce make me an offer for the future HOF Bing Parsons.

Would you like George Hill?

I was going to say Avery Bradley instead but I've got too many guards.

I think I'd prefer a big man (PF or C) in return but I don't like your guys.
 
I know its pre-season, but Iguodala had 14 assists in 29 minutes.
People are sleeping on the Warriors again, there is no team that have the 3-4-5 position with guys that moves the ball as well as they do, Lee and Bogut and the super awesome team player Andre!
Basketball is not all about scoring, and its a joy to see him finding Klay and Steph on the corners, finding the sneaky scorer Lee.
Barnes who already showed he is a fast learner, some of his moves are so David Lee and Richard Jefferson, I don't think its a coincidence, is probably going to learn a lot from Andre as well, I expect that kid to shine again even being a sixth man, last year he was a starter but Jack had way more minutes than him so not starting means nothing.
We can totally achieve something better than last year, lets hope its the title!
 
Have you been following Grantland lately? They are releasing a series of videos from the worst team to the best team in the NBA based on Bill Simmons personal Power Rankings.

Yup, I've been patiently waiting for those 15-18 minutes of awesome everyday. Grantland its just great for sports, movies, tv shows and entertainment. There is even some Champions League articles there once in a while.

But the NBA preview just been ruined by you TSO :P You do realize that image is a major spoiler right! Thanks mayne :P

For the fantasy talk, I lost Trey Burke, was expecting a rookie of the year, now he might miss 36 games.
 
I've watched about four of those so far, very entertaining. Wish the episodes were longer though.
 
OK I'm hooked now, Champaning and campaigning (wrong spelling I know).
