[NBA] Comments that don't warrant their own thread (MAR/APR)

Please let the Pelicans hold on to the 8th seed. With us being sorry yet again, I want to live vicariously through Tyreke Evans and Anthony Davis.

The Jazz will be a contending team next year...bank on it. Rudy Gobert is amazing. Every draft, we wonder how certain guys get drafted so low.. he's the reason why teams will continue to gamble on European prospects. Gobert was drafted 27th overall.

They will most likely trade one of their guards. Team is packed full of guards who love to handle the ball.. Hayward, Burks, Exum, and Burke. Don't be surprised to see Burke or Burks traded this off season.

On the other hand, Exum is still really raw.. To be honest, Nik's handles aren't far off of Exum's. I don't think he's a PG. Not a good ball handler as a pg, doesn't have PG vision, and he struggles to create. His 3pt shooting is coming along, however teams are just leaving him at the 3pt line because they know he's not a great shooter. Problem with that is once defenders will actually start closing in, he'll miss a lot. Very very slow release and shot set. I don't think he's a PG for at least another a year or 2

As long as it's not OKC I don't care although I would prefer if the Suns made it, ever since they traded away IT they have become my go to team to watch with the Kings stinking the joint up. I just cannot stomach the majority of OKC's players they are a team full of scumbags.


Yeap Jazz are going to be good (Hayward/Gobert/Favors is a sweet trio) also if the Timberwolves can EVER remain healthy I think they are a decent squad as well. I wonder how Denver feels trading Gobert for Eric Green.

...story of Adelman's coaching career at Minnesota.

or rather, his entire coaching career.

So Anthony Davis stepped on Asik's foot in shootaround and is out injured? This guy seems pretty fragile. Every few weeks he goes out with yet another injury.

And damnit, NO needed this game.

if the lakers are currently in the same spot record wise and 2 teams leap frog them.. their pick goes to phoenix??

nbadraft.net
Suns receive the Lakers 2015 first-round pick. (top 5 in 2015, top 3 in 2016 and 2017, unprotected 2018. ()

nope, the pick got traded in the Brandon Knight debacle. currently resides in Philly, but yes, they do get it, if it falls outside of the top5.

wow, what a coup for philly if they do fall out of the top 5

rolls over into a top3 protected pick in 2016, too. so unless the Lakers can really strengthen their team through free agency, it's going to be a lottery pick again. also, keep in mind that the pick was part of the package (among another first rounder and 2 second rounders) that brought them, like, half a season of Steve Nash and a whole lot of capspace wasted. pretty terrible trade, all things considered.

A question more than a comment. Can an NBA team buy a player's contract from another team? In a trade, can one team trade a 10million dollar player to another team for a 5 million dollar player and cash?

Thanks, Capt. I take, then, that you can't buy a player even if the contract is less than than the $3.4 million. No buying a contract.

Wow the Bucks pull out the most unlikely win vs Miami with a Middleton DAGGER with time expiring (after shooting 4/16) after Jared Bayless killed Beasley on a jump ball with the Bucks down 2. It was a insanely hard shot crazy comeback by the scrappy Bucks.

if I were Sam Presti, I'd start poisoning Russell Westbrook's pre-game meals. they really can't afford to make the playoffs anymore.

I think OKC is a lost cause now.

Define "lost cause." Oklahoma City has the easiest remaining schedule of the three teams still in contention for the eighth seed.

Yahoo is reporting that Hot Rod Hundley has passed away.
