NBA Draft & Off-Season News 2016

If these guys don't have an 82-0 season with nothing but sweeps in the playoffs it'll be a failure!  ::)

I think they will go 65-17 with the core 4 playing around 70 games, lessons learned and rest will be given

Thats the thing though, they can alternate rest nights between Durant, Klay, Green and Curry and still be better on paper than the team they're playing.  Any 3 of those guys beats most other teams.

I just think that 73 wins was a lot harder than its getting credit for, i dont think they get near it again

they can but i think lots of players will be annoyed at GS and will try to take them out. They have a big target on their backs now.

for example Heat, Spurs will come at them and wherever Westbrook is.

The Warriors have put a massive target on their back and everyone in the league will be going out to try and prove a point when they play them

I'm not enjoying this Heat Vs Wade poker game, it's appearing as though the Cavs may not want to trade Love and Wade could sign on the cheap to spite us, LeBron could take less to squeeze him in with trading Shumpert, they could trade Love but not us leaving us with nothing for our greatest player... feels like we are holding a 2 and a 7 off suit trying to bluff :(

He's meeting with Denver tomorrow apparently, they have offered him 50mill for 2 years.

Interesting read...
I cant believe he would leave over 10m and head to a non contender in the West, i think its more viable he would got to the Cavs on the 3.5m they can offer just to stick it to us, surely he wants more rings or to stay in Miami, nothing else, no in betweens...

its not going to happen but say Wade goes to the cavs for 3.4 mil

does anyone put them over the warriors?

Irving Wade James Love TT is pretty beastly if that stays healthy. Health is the only reason i would have the warriors over them.

[Andrew3747]

Uhh, no....

Durant/Curry/Thompson just score more than you, however cavs match up pretty damn good vs the shooter teams as Cavs hgave no defensive big men to stop anyone in the post, they just have their own shower going on, if warriors have a bad shooting night, they are f'd.

[RiOtChEsS]

It might be all posturing for more money but the fact is this relationship is turning sour

That team isn't better than Warriors at full health with Durant

not sure i agree.

James > durrant especially in the playoffs

Irving actually has shown more in the playoffs then curry and is younger so should improve more. for the sake of people arguing Curry over him.

Love and TT combined i think match Green

Wade v Klay is interesting but i give it to wade if healthy.


remember they dont have barnes or bogut. TT should smash them on the boards, green can only do soo much.

[jvalles69]

Add to Cavs the fact that Lebron, Wade and now Kyrie are clutch in finals.  Durant, Curry, Klay and Green have yet to prove this clutch.

I'd give the nod to the Warriors just for the age factor though.  Hard to split them.  Let's petition for a a 4 on 4 street ball best out of 11 tourney.  Lebron, Wade, Love & Kyrie vs Curry, Durant, Klay & Green.  ;D

[plumdog millionaire]

Yeah Wade isn't going to the Cavs

You just matched 5 vs 4 obviously they aren't going to win in that case

How can you say Wade over Thompson? We are talking 2016/17 having a good history doesn't mean you are better atm

Stpeh vs Irving - Steph
Thompson vs Wade - Thompson
Durant vs LBJ - LBJ
Green vs Love - Green
Zaza vs TT - TT
Bench: GS vs Cavs - GS

[Jay]

Yeah Wade isn't going to the Cavs

This. And there's no way LeBron is taking anything other than his absolute max.
