NBA PREDICTIONS 07-08 SEASON

[Southend_206]

no need to explain...im not the only one that knows Portland got tha shit end of tha stick on that deal...did you watch any of the draft shows on espn, watch nba tv,read articles throughout the internet, blahzah blahzah.....?

how much did you guys spend to buyout Franchises contract again?

THATS NOT EXPLAINING NOTHING. YEAH I SEEN THE DRAFT AND THE MOVES THEY MADE, THATS FOR THE FUTURE. RANDOLPH DIDNT WANT TO BE A LEADER, LOSE WEIGHT AND COMMIT TO PLAYING TEAM BALL, PLUS HE CLASHED WITH MANGEMENT AND THE PLAYERS. HE WAS A POOR POST PLAYER INSTEAD OF WHAT NATE WAS TRYING TO TEACH HIM. WHEN THE BALL WASNT IN HIS HAND, THEY WERE A RUN & GUN, SET UP OFFENSE TYPE OF TEAM, WHERE WAS HE AT WHILE THEY WERE DOING THAT? ON THE PERIEMETER USED FOR SCREENS AND BACK CUTS AS BRANDON SLASHED TO THE RIM OR KICKED IT OUT AND MADE ASSISTS, THATS WHY HE WAS R.O.Y. PLUS HE HE CANT SHOOT CONSISTENTLY, AND HE HAS A BAD SHOT SELECTION.

THEY BOUGHT OUT FRANCIS' CONTRACT BEACAUSE, HE WAS INVOLVED IN THAT TRADE ON DRAFT DAY. THEY ALREADY HAVE YOUNG, FLOURSHING GUARDS (BRANDON, JARRETT JACK, AND THEY DRAFTED TAUREAN GREEN RUDY FERNANDEZ) PLUS THERE WERE A NICE CHOICE OF FREE AGENTS THEY COULD GO AFTER AND THEY SIGNED STEVE BLAKE, WHO FITS WELL WITHIN WHAT NATE IS COACHING, UNLIKE FRANCIS, WHO DRIBBLES, CANT SHOOT, CANT PLAY D, SLOW AND IS INCONSISTENT. I EXPLAINED IT FOR YOU. I SHOULD WORK FOR ESPN MY DAMN SELF.

AINT THE BLAZERS OVER THE CAP?

 

[MrFedEx503]

jesus christ, I know what the blazers did on draft day goes over everyone's head on here, Find my "explanation of Z-Bo Trade" thread.


I don't see how trading a player who you know isnt the way you wanna go with the team, to get cap sapce from him to sign WHO, oh yeah Rookie of the Year and Lamarcus aldridge, becuase get this they are Free agents at the same time, I guess if we didn't wanna keep Roy or LMA then I guess it was a dumb trade

 

[MrFedEx503]

wasnt dumb at all if you look at the assets we got back..

frye, jones, rudy fernandez, and about 20 mill of capspace to use in the 09 off season

33 Mill exactly

We traded a 4 year 60 mill contract for a 2 year 30 mill contract pretty much

 

[Bigjwalll]

The Warriors are gona go all the way this year!!!!

ALL THE WAY TO THE FIRST ROUND OF THE PLAYOFFS

33 Mill exactly

33 mill off the books... I'm not sure if all of that will be under the cap or not...


but according to hoops hype, before we pick up any team options our salary will only be 15mill... even tho there not factoring outlaws 4 (or so) mill, and us re signing taurean green/josh mcroberts after this season, and james jones after next..


U fuck wit realgm?

yeah well when we bought out steve francis we also worked out, that we get half of his next contract(which is with huston) Money, so he singed what was it a 2 year 6 mil contract or something(3 a year) anyways we get that back to our Cap space in 09.... god KP is smart

Yeah I knew we got about 3 back, but I honestly thought that was coming back the two seasons left on his contract.

Credit that trade to tom penn & kp... kp for findin the talent in the trade (RUDY GOTDAMN FERNANDEZ) and penn for findin the money (exception from fred jones, used to get rudy and jajo... money back from houston for francis)

Either way, season wise I'm not having SUPER HIGH expectations on the squad this year.. But best belive imma attend/watch/or listen to every game this season.. I'm JUICED fot the season to start... headin down to san antonio on the 30th... I feel better then when we tryed to microwave a championship in 99-00

 

[phil]

im gonna go out on a limb here with my prediction. THE BOSTON CELTICS WILL NOT BE A LOTTERY TEAM NEXT YEAR.

ITS ONLY 3 WEEKS INTO THE SEASON. MY BULLS ARE FUCKIN UP BUT LOOK AT LAST YEAR AND THE YEAR BEFORE THAT. LAST YEAR WE STARTED OFF 3-9, THE YEAR BEFORE THAT THE BULLS STARTED 0-9. INJURIES STARTED US OFF BAD. EXTENSIONS WERENT GIVIN OUT AND GORDON AND DENG ARENT HAPPY. FAKE ASS FANS CHANTING KOBE IS A SLAP IN THE FACE
