Klay for 80pts please cheesy Mizzzbeee, Eruditor where are you guys?

I was sleeping. Just woke up now to peep the score. I don't see GSW losing another home game in a bit so I pretty much knew Pacers had it coming. Klay has always been a savage but he is appearing streaky this season and it is becoming recurrent. Notice he had the same streaky performances during the olympics too. It is tiring. We need more consistency.

Listen, Masai Ujiri should package Jonas Valenciunis, Powell, and a 1st round pick for cousins. Cousins does not want to stay in Sacremento anymore, and they still get a good play in jonas, and a pick, plus powell.

Honestly, Masai and the raptors is not going to challenge these guys unless they have a guy that can bang down low with lebron, thompson, and love.

celtics is the other one,they can defintely challenge the cavs if they can somehow pull a move to get boogie,they also have bunch of first round picks and decent role players that kings would get and start their rebuild.

raptors still have this lowry issue hanging over thier head.
Re: The NBA Begins by Mizzzbeee(f): 10:47am On Dec 06, 2016
Klay on fire is very scary. Once he gets going he becomes unstoppable. I think Curry is transitioning more into a facilitator and more pg duties
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 11:19am On Dec 06, 2016

You're leading by 30, why would you risk a purposeless target and possibly injury? Even Kobe didn't break Baylor's record after scoring 62pts in 3 quarters. He's rested in the 4th with the Lakers leading comfortably

The main reason he continued was to break his career high and that's good enough.


45 assists, Klay's night. Even say Ooh Mpa no too fancy Warriors but mehn, that was the most entertaining one sided, dominant game of the season. Warriors are legit...

Lool. I have enough guys for Blocks and rebounds. Turner,ZaZa, Klove and Whiteside. I dont want another center.

Give me PG and a shooting guard.

And I'm just here wondering what you want.. That guy will give you what any SG will + rebounds except you're just looking for big names. Two solid players for PG, it's only fair if I give you PG plus someone good enough for getting those guys back.

Espn first take Don cause wahala. Guys if you were to trade any of the Warriors big 3 who would it be and why?



Steven A Smith picked: Curry
Kellerman: Klay

Both points are valid...
I pick Klay tho.. Cuz of everything Kellerman said. But how come no one mentioned Durant? undecided

Klay is the most dispensable. Doesn't rebound enough for his size and can be wildly inconsistent. However that team goes from great to just good most likely without Klay

Naah can't touch Durant. He is the failover option when the 3-ball isn't falling. Plus his defense is really good these days. One on one, blocking shots

You have a point there. Thus far I feel like they are the only team in the East who can face the Cavs, but it would be mad frustrating to keep coming up short.

The comma here is Boogie. Would he buy in to the team setup? Would he show growth and maturity? A bad trade can set a franchise back for years. (Rondo/Mavs)

I think a lot of us seems to forget that boogie has never really been in a winning situation. It can become tiresome and frustrating if you are losing every night while putting 100 percent.

I won't really compare the case of rondo to this, derozan isn't 37 and Lowry could still play at a star level for the next three years, if cousins don't work out, it's a loss, but they aren't going to tank, they aren't going to suck. They aren't the 2nd best team in the east because of Jonas, that guy has offered them nothing. I would take the risks, cousins playing with derozan and Lowry, if his head don't come correct, it can't ever be correct.

Cousins can shoot the three, Thompson would have to come out and guard him, love and Thompson would have to also fight him for the rebounds, he will offer derozan and Lowry to shoot more jumpers and create space.

Remember, the cavs only worry about derozan and Lowry, you take them out of the game, the raptors cant do anything, with cousins in the mix, game plans don change.

I will also like to think kings will want to do it, they are risking losing cousins for free, who wants to lose their franchise player for free? Whenever there is a problem, these guys always leave, from lebron, KD, dwade, them no they resign, why lose him for free when you can get picks and players in jonas?

I will take that risks, and if worse come to worse, we go tank Abeg.

raptors are better than the celtics right now, but still they would challenge the cavs if they get cousins, won't win though. Only team ready to beat the cavs to me is raptors, cavs is barely beating raptors by 5 points these past three contest, and it has gone down to the wire, each game. Jonas is averaging like 7 points or so in these contests, about 4 rebounds, you get a player like cousins, and suddenly cavs has something to think about. You are not limiting that guy to 4 rebounds, hence why I think cousins is better with the raptors.

You make really good points. But can he make adjustments from being THE guy to being one of the guys. How would he respond to fewer touches and not being the focal point of the offense?

I used Rondo because of his attitude problem which Boogie also shares. When you consistently butt heads with a veteran coach like George Karl that for me is not really a good sign. Whatever good you could have added to the team can always be corroded with shyte behavior and you end up losing role players that wind up improving and blossoming elsewhere.

There really is need to weigh the pros and the cons. The issue with Valanciunas sef is his lack of durability else he is not a terrible fit. That Raptor team thrives on chemistry and there is no guarantee Boogie will not disrupt it
