2017-2018 Around the NBA

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Jokic had a triple double in a half and Denver might break the record for most 3s in a single game tonight. Just can't miss anything.
 
How do you submit suggestions to the league? They should kick off every season with Joker vs Freak night on Halloween.
 
We took the Lakers' two best players.
I have a few friends that bleed purple and gold, one thinks Magic did great, says Clarkson and Nance won't produce in the playoffs and will be limited role players. Says he was happy they got Clarkson off the books. Yes, the 2nd leading bench scorer in the NBA, and 1st in ppg since January 1st. He downplays Clarkson so much that he has to be sipping purple and gold koolaid right after. He called Kuzma better than Nance. I just don't know about that. Kuzma is nice, but let's see some shit play out first .

The other friend thinks without Clarkson and Nance worsened their defense by alot. It reduced their bench by alot obviously, IT and Zubac basically replaced them. But he's happy for them to be put in such a good place and competing, he gets to see if they have untapped potential playing with LeBron, he's not so much of a homer.

But I can say this, every Lakers fan loved Nance, and wanted to wrap him up for years and years. They'd rather try to deal Randle and kept Nance.

Randle is probably gunning for 18 million... Lakers will probably lose him if they have their sights on max free agents.
 
How to trigger the fans of the Toronto Raptors, the number 1 seed in the East:

How the hell did Jokic not make the all-star game? People bitched and moaned about George, but Jokic deserved it more. Like, if I was picking a center to start a team.....I think maybe I'd take Embiid first, but then I'd probably take Jokic.

Dude, it's crazy how good he is despite having like no athleticism at all. Imagine giving him the physical tools of an average big man athlete like Gortat or Pachulia. He would be unstoppable. I mean, guys like Valanciunas or Monroe look like freak athletes compared to Jokic.
 
Yep. Jokic should have definitely been All-Star.

I think they should take away the East & West All-Stars as well. Just have the best 24 guys.
 
Denver has the best scouting department in the NBA... just incredible what they have accomplished with their draft picks.

Gary Harris, Murray, Jokic, Faried(Was great before game passed him by), Nurkic...

They are either great at scouting or they have one of the best developmental departments in the NBA...or both. Harris had an abysmal rookie season then made a big jump, Murray had a very bad rookie season and made a huge jump this year. Trey Lyles looked like a bust on Utah and is one of the candidates for most improved player.

Denver is one of the most promising teams in the NBA, easily. They look like GSW to me before Kerr took over. They are basically a great coach away from making a huge jump, and they might even do it with Malone at the helm.

Great international scouting, to be more specific.
