so the kings are signing Chuck Hayes and giving him an extra million because the second opinion was good.

feel like the bulls r being underrated cause people arent considering their ability to make a mid season move, theyve got tons good young players
clips underrated cause people arent thinking abt how they have two top five guys, i mean if blake was that good as a rookie how good will he be as a 2nd year player, im thinking legit if under recognized due to age mvp candidate - clips bench is hella thin but they can deal mo and theyll youve got to think be the top destination for bought out vets post trade deadline, obvs v susceptible to injuries, and lol vinny delnegro is their coach and donald sterling is their owner, still i want to believe

That graphic shows a huge amount of respect for Spoelstra's coaching.

Based on the predictions' accuracy last year I pick the Knicks to win it all.
― Hurting, Friday, 23 December 2011 18:38 (twelve years ago) link
BTW in re clips -- Jordan is also a top-5 defender by some measures. Depth could be a little stronger, but youth may help make up for that.

r we doing predix up in this

this is a good idea
― v-shasty, Friday, 23 December 2011 19:44 (twelve years ago) link
should be separate thread imo
If this were ILH, we could stretch out and start multiple prediction threads, as polls no less. But here in the sandbox, it seems best if we just run this thread past 3000 posts by Christmas, so as not to bother the neighbors.

so excited for Hoopsmas. Knicks at Noon, Clippers at night, thai and a movie with friensd in between.

Champ: Dallas MavericksMVP: Kevin DurantCoY (aka "team that exceeded expectations"): George Karl (Nuggets)RoY: Kyrie IrvingDPoY: Dwight HowardMost Improved: Ty Lawson (not really but he'll be starting lol)Sixth Man: Lamar Odom
Dwight and Deron both go to Dallas in the offseason.Miami makes the finals and loses again.Derrick Favors is the real MiP.
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 23 December 2011 19:57 (twelve years ago) link
champ: detroit pistonsmvp: samuel dalembertbiggest surprise: miami is 6th seed in the eastern-conference, loses in first round

this would be so insane, dont think its possible w/o moving dirk but still my god
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Friday, 23 December 2011 20:27 (twelve years ago) link
i don't think it's possible, since howard and deron will also be max-contracts. can't do it anymore for three players.
― Daniel, Esq., Friday, 23 December 2011 20:30 (twelve years ago) link
and dallas isn't unloading dirk, any more than miami is unloading wade.

if they amnesty haywood (which they will) and find a taker for marion, they're like 2m away from being able to offer both max free agent deals.
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 23 December 2011 20:42 (twelve years ago) link
they'd have dirk, dominique jones and beaubois under contract for a total of about 24.5m. I think you have to add in 9 or 10 minimum cap holds at 500k so that's about 29m. that leaves them about 29m under the cap. get rid of jones and beaubois (which should be easy) and you're just about there.
Pretty conspicuous to me that they've worked so hard to clear out space for two max slots and not one.

cuban's made no attempt to hide his plans, IIRC. i just didn't think it was possible under the new system, but i'm not sure.

I'm hoping that happens just because I've moved to Dallas. I would find a way to catch a few games in person even though I'm very poor at the moment.
― EZ Snappin, Friday, 23 December 2011 22:07 (twelve years ago) link
that team would be the best team ever, i cant even really digest it

@WallaceNBA_ESPN Even with all of his wealth, Dwyane Wade might have a hard time granting 1 of his young sons Xmas wishes: "He wants a real life elf."

My roommate woke me up with absurdly loud sex (two closed doors, 15ft hallway) on the worst possible day so she's taking me to the Mavs opener w/ excellent seats. Not a bad deal.

they're just going to play frustrating, good-but-never-great ball, get like a 5th seed, and get beat in the playoffs.
