2016-2017 NBA Season Thread [ARCHIVED] Basketball • Page 550

You could insert any star basketball players name there and it would likely be the same reaction

 

eh russells style is pretty on par with the city i feel like.

 

They signed Tarik black too, maybe they aren't gonna get melo after all

 

Someone is gonna get a really good player

 

The grizzlies are really bad at drafting

 

So weird looking at their draft history. Lowry/Conley/Love was a great streak of picks and then just nothing after that

Edit: oh god I forgot about Thabeet

 

Hmmmm

 

Not going to lie....I'd love to see Melo in Portland. I think that would be a great fit for him and the team. Way better than Houston.

 

Wonder what they'll go for.

 

Wow, did not see that coming

 

Sell to Yao

 

$1 billion at least

 

I hope the rockets don't get Melo. I really like all the moves Morey has made so far but I think Melo is probably the most overrated "superstar" in the NBA. The only thing I would be ok with would be if they only have to give up Anderson, (which at this point seems unlikely) and he comes in and basically fills the same roll, just better. I would worry about his willingness to accept that though. And obviously the fit with dantoni isn't great.

 

Can confirm multiple international students I've had from China are big Rockets fans. Thought it was pretty cool.

 

Floor has to be 2b, right? I think it could go for 3 if rumors of outside investor interest (ie: Asia) are true.

 

Forbes values them at $1.64 billion so you're right about the floor, teams always sell for more than the valuation. Plus the Clippers sold for $2 billion... I thought it was less than that for some reason

 

I'm excited to see what the Trail Blazers do this season. Swanigan is a such a great fit for that organization. Part of me is being bias because he's a fellow Boilermaker, but Blazers fans will be happy with how hard he plays and what he can develop into. He is humble as pie.

 

Stop asking terry the same friggin questions you asked him last time dude, it's not cool.

 

v. cool

 

please no more sleeved jerseys.

 

Some of the sleeved jerseys are cool. Cleveland's all black look is super dope. The Clippers had some real nice baby blue ones before they did... whatever they did to their color scheme/logo.

 

Celtics one is so gross and awful.

 

Sleeves are done, it's been planned for a while

 

I think I liked the sleeved jersey's more than most.
