DS729 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Trade idea...Warriors- K Love, G HendersonWolves- K Thompson, D Lee, M Sleights, 1st via GS, 1st via CHA, 2nd via CHAHornets- K MartinMinnesota & Golden State both move/add equal salaries. Charlotte adds only $800k in salary.Minnesota gets the ransom they want; Klay Thompson & a pile of picks.Golden State gets what they want; Kevin Love. They didn't want to give up Thompson but they get back Henderson. While not a scorer, Henderson is a great defender & can fill the void at SG. They only have to give up one 1st rd pick.Charlotte gets what they want. They move Henderson & add a shooter. They swap Henderson for Martin, a proven scorer who has deep range & can average 20ppg efficiently. They only have to give up one 1st (likely around #20) & 2nd rd pick to make the upgrade.Everybody wins.You cannot be serious. The only "void" Henderson can fill is the backup spot.

tigerslionspistonshabs Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 WEST1. Golden StateMan, I'm a fan of the Dubs but the 1 seed is pretty generous. Even if they somehow get Love without giving up Thompson, they'd need to have perfect health (not a strong suit the past couple years) to finish ahead of the Spurs and Thunder. As currently built 4-6 seed is their likely rangeI picked them to do so last year too and they went on some crazy runs that could've gotten them there but they fizzled out. I also picked them to go to the championship but I think they were just too young (and still may be). I'm just thinking Curry will be better, the rest of the core is rising and they're a deep team. They also play in a fairly weak pacific division which would allow them to rack up some wins against SAC, PHX and LAL. All the other heavy hitters in the West haven't improved themselves much if any.

alxy8s Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Dwyane Wade signed a two-year deal today. Supposed to be for $16M next year, down from the 20 he opted out of. Wade has never been the highest paid player on his team. Eddie Jones, Shaq, Shawn Marion, Jermaine O'Neal, LeBron, and now Bosh all made more than him."Look at the 2nd greatest ever SG taking less $ for the good of his team...is something you'd say to make Laker fans insane." - Ethan Strauss on Twitter.

Unocal Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Carmelo Anthony has just signed away his career. He truly doesn't care about winning. You had a chance to get away from Dolan and JR Smith- but you come back anyway! I lost a ton of respect for Melo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alxy8s Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Adam Silver is having a press conference right now. On the day that we found out that jerseys will have a soccer-like championship stripe on jerseys, he mentioned that there very few things to win in the NBA, unlike the tournaments within European soccer leagues. He mentioned that the competition committee has had preliminary discussions about a mid-season tournament. The motivation was said to be "to add excitement."There weren't any follow up questions on that, but that sounds very strange. I wonder what the winner could win.

dfwabel Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Simmons has been on the idea of a tournament of some sort for nearly a decade. One idea was to lock the top six playoff seeds and the rest of the conference plays for seeds 7 & 8 (he later changed it to just the 8th seed. He also floated out a single elimination tournament as opposed to All Star Weekend or a single elimination tournament for non-playoff teams.

alxy8s Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I don't follow soccer, so I don't get it. Teams just enter tournaments? There's no regular season otherwise?He also mentioned they discussed the lottery system, division and conference alignment, as well as playoff format. Those things need improvement. There's already a midseason event, and there's nothing horrible about the All Star Weekend. I'd rather see the players just get a week off than add a bunch of meaningless events. I've really liked Silver so far, so I'll just hope he knows what he's doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
