NBA Season 2015/16

How good is my boy eh? Nobody has EVER shot the ball like he does!

Makes a steal then shoots the three straight away from nowhere! NOBODY has ever shot the ball like my boy Steph Curry!

That would just say rigged to me. There is no way the Wolves deserve a top 2 pick let alone the number 1. The league already bailed out the Cavs, they won't be doing the same for Minnesota.

Its a lotto though if they finish low they should stand a chance.

Its not rigged

Steph and MJ I'm guessing. Playoff's is everything tho dude. Steph didn't even win the finals MVP last season! Still got a lot to prove.

Correct! Curry this season, and 26 year old Michael Jordan. As you say there is definitely a long way to go, but the guy is on track for just as good of a regular season statistically as MJ ever had. Crazy.

That's debatable. Unless they show the ping pong balls drawn on live TV you can't say it is really a lotto. There have been a few to many 'coincidences' which keeps the conspiracy theory real

There is betting on it, if it was found to be rigged the nba would fall apart.

Its probability sometimes the unprobable happens

Yet still he will have his knockers no matter what, some people just refuse to embrace greatness as it's happening...

[Jay]

It's laughable how angry Kobe fans are about him being ranked 12th on ESPN's all-time list.

Most delusional type of NBA fans out there.

Report: The Clippers rebuffed talks with the Nuggets for Blake Griffin, but there’s still important info from this. http://

http://www.cbssports.com/nba/eye-on-basketball/25474590/nuggets-clippers-reportedly-had-talks-over-blake-griffin-six-things-to-know

And the forbes article http://www.forbes.com/sites/mitchlawrence/2016/02/05/clippers-looking-to-deal-blake-griffin/2/#23c61507365e

As the Clippers await what the NBA will do to Blake Griffin for his involvement in a recent fight, the Clips are calling other teams about trading their perennial All-Star forward, industry sources tell Forbes.
The Clips have called the Nuggets about sending Griffin to Denver, according to sources with direct knowledge of the talks. The Nuggets have begun their due diligence, trying to see if it makes sense to put together a package for the five-time All-Star.
Denver is said to be somewhat leery of making a move for Griffin because, in part, the Nuggets don’t believe a superstar of Griffin’s magnitude would be willing to re-sign when he becomes an unrestricted free agent in 2018. That might seem like a long way off, but the Nuggets are still smarting from being forced to trade Carmelo Anthony in Feb., 2011 when he was approaching free agency and forced his way to New York. Griffin has played his entire career in Los Angeles.

At 26, Griffin is one of the NBA’s marquee stars, appearing as the main spokesman for KIA, the official car of the NBA. He didn’t make the All-Star team for the first time in his six-year pro career as he’s missed 19 of L.A.’s 49 games due to a leg injury and broken hand.
The Knicks have been mentioned as a potential destination if the Clippers break up their “Lob City” attack and move Griffin. But unless Anthony waives a no-trade clause and agrees to leave, New York would not have the necessary assets to send back in a blockbuster deal. Another potential obstacle for some potential suitors is Griffin’s broken right hand that could keep him out another five weeks.

The Nuggets are open to trading power forward Kenneth Faried, 26, who has been inconsistent in his first five seasons. Veteran forward Danilo Gallinari is also available in the right deal. But they intend to keep building around promising rookie PG Emmanuel Mudiay.
Griffin faces severe punishment from the NBA after getting into a fight on Jan. 23 with the Clippers’ longtime assistant equipment manager, Matias Testi, who is close to Griffin. The fight alarmed the league, which is close to finishing its investigation of the incident. The fight took place in Toronto as Griffin was sidelined with a leg injury that had KO’d him since Christmas.
“I’d say from the league’s standpoint, of course it’s the last thing that you want to see happen,’’ NBA commissioner Adam Silver told USAToday. “And whether it’s in the NBA, or in any industry, you have one co-worker, in essence, punching another co-worker. That’s a terrible thing. Blake has acknowledged that. But at the same time, I know he recognizes that there are consequences of his actions.”

Clippers TOTALLY wouldn't go for this trade but I found a trade that would work for Kings & Clips

Clippers Give: Griffin, Redick
Kings Give: Gay, Belinelli, Acy, Butler

[Mat0369]

Nobody is trading for Rudy Gay, let alone for Blake Griffin. Every team that has offloaded him has laughed at the suckers that picked him up afterwards.
