The internet would melt down... Lebropcolypse 2014

No dude Pau on the Spurs.... wow. Idc what anyone says having him, Duncan, Splitter, and Diaw as a front court is just insane.

Pretty sure he is using MM tweets as his "source". My "sources" say these guys are idiots.

Still standby CP3 not being that much better than Jrue at this poin. To be fair, the last thing I can remember is Westbrook destroying CP3 in the playoffs.

Talent wise, I think this team has as much talent as any western contender out there except GS and OKC.

Serious debate: Was throwing away Lopez worth trading a first to get Asik?

I think people have got it all wrong. My bet is that Anderson is about to get flipped for a SF.

With all that being said, anyone think the Pels are serious contenders next year with this move and a little bit of luck in the health department?

I do, but maybe I'm being too optimistic. I can't think of a more talented roster besides maybe GS and OKC.

Popular with me. If Smart is on the board, that is the guy I want. Hands down. He can play the 1 or 2. Would fit in well for the 6th man on this team down the road.

So what you're saying is Dejuan basically has 4 legs?

Oh I understand that, I guess I have really just confided myself to the fact that we are not going to be able to get rid of Gordon.

I still doubt Indiana would do the trades I proposed, but I could see a decent argument for why a contender may want Gordon, especially Indiana. He is a good spot up shooter, which Indiana desperately needs, and he would be better suited to play the point than Lance.

Not even to bring up the fact that he is way less of a basket case. And who knows maybe EG will actually be motivated to play for Indiana.

Hypothetically in a dream world: If Indiana agrees to do Lance and Copeland (who they barely played last year) in a sign and trade for EG, is there anyone here who says no? If so then why?

I honestly would do Gordon for Stephenson straight up. I think the Pels could use a crazy/bulldog tough guy type guy on the team. I could also see why Indy would want a more tame, better shooting version of Lance.

Oh Deng is a way better player. But I remember Posey being pretty good that first year we got him and then falling off the Titanic in production. My fear is that Deng turns out to be an Andre Iguodala type, not David West. Still good but mehhhh when you look at the price tag. You need a superb amount of athleticism to play SF in this league, you can get by without it at PF. I'd rather take a look at Tony Snell (Trade) and Richard Jefferson(FA). Those would be my top two priorities if I was Demps.

I really think that if the team can't get rid of EG they should just Curry him and make him sit on the bench in a suit. Here is my reason.

I was at the Brooklyn game the other night, I had never seen the chemistry for the Pelicans look so good. They looked like they really enjoyed playing with each other. If EG is not in our long term plans, why take minutes from players who are? Gelling is a real thing in the NBA, ESPECIALLY for defense. See the this years Clippers/Rockets teams.

Now that isn't really a knock on EG, I don't think he is some horrible teammate. But, Morrow brings a certain swag/edge/passion to this team that is desperately needed. He is the team hype man, this team needs that to get up for games. I think our recent success is directly related to his personal pride more so than Monty's coaching skills.

Just turned off the game: 5 missed rebounds followed by Roberts 3pt attempt with 20 seconds left on the shot clock. I officially hate this team.

They told him that he is fired after this season and secretly Dell is coaching the team...

I like this idea but I'm so afraid we will get Avery Johnson as his replacement... & I just couldn't handle that.

Part of me feels so sad for Granger, but the other part of me thinks he is going to stay in Philly and pad his stats so he gets more in FA.
