2016-17 Running NBA Thread

Didn't Kim Jong have a triple-triple in that game.

 

Quintuple-double including a triple-triple: 125 points, 103 rebounds, 153 steals, 74 blocks and 10 assists

 

LeBron posts a triple double, Love goes 21 pts 16 reb. Irving scores 20 and the Cavs lose at home to SAC in OT. Time to fire the coach

 

Why would you fire LeBron?

 

Comic Sans coming?

I love how James pisses on the back end of the bench but it's OK because he said no disrespect to those players.

I also love after James and others got their big pay days he whines that there's no money to keep other guys on after of course the owner shelled out a large sum the past couple of seasons. Other vets signed for the league minimum how come we couldn't do that? Tim Duncan took a pay cut to enhance the depth of the Spurs how come you couldn't do that?

 

How come, though? Did the Cavs go for David West and Zaza Pachulia? Are there other guys who would be interested?

And there's always money. It just means a billionaire has to go into the luxury tax.

 

I think Gilbert is well into the luxury tax this year. I think I heard Windhorst say on Kornheiser's podcast the other day that the luxury tax is most in the league - $50 million.

 

OK, point taken. But if they were skimping on bottom-of-roster players and now are getting caught because of it, that's a legit issue. They're in the championship window and you don't skimp for that.

 

Dellavedova signed for like $10 mil a year. Cavs decided not to sign, or beat that number. Mo Williams was the back up pg. He retired the week training camp opened up. Sometimes, "shit happens".

 

Or, you know, they could do something about that sub-D League bench.

They went seven games with the Warriors. The Warriors added Kevin Durant. The Cavs added Kyle Korver.

 

Ehhh, Ben Wallace made it work. Russell might not have been Russell, but he'd have been good enough.
