Random NBA Observations 2016 - 2017

[Emoryal]

I gotta check their roster. They're not a guaranteed win for an opposing team like we thought they would be. They're putting up a lot of points per game seems like

No excuses. I'm expecting a 40 point blowout.

Can we talk about Danny Ainge as a drafter for a second?

2011: JaJuan Johnson(27) and E'Twaun Moore(55)
2012: Jared Sullinger(21), Fab Melo(22), Kris Joseph
2013: Kelly Olynyk(13)
2014: Marcus Smart(6), James Young(17)
2015: Terry Rozier(16), RJ Hunter(28), Jordan Mickey(33), Marcus Thornton(45)
2016: he had six picks

What exactly is his fukking plan? A lot of these picks have more value prior to the draft than they do after it when he picks bums that never amount to much. RJ Hunter is already gone and 2 of his first round picks last year(#16 and #23) were just euros.

If he actually tried doing something aggressively with these picks he could have gotten the Celtics some actual help, but instead he's stockpiling average players with far less value. I know schoolboyc always complains about him, but this guy legitimately doesn't seem to have a concrete plan right now.

He makes a lot of shyt teams look good. I'm about to steal this.

Don't even draft if you gonna waste picks like this. Trade them shyts.

He over values what he has and asks for way too much in deals. He thinks everyone is Billy King and the desperate Russian.

it's not for lack of effort (remember when he tried to trade all his picks to Charlotte and they said no?)


He just has a ton of quantity which used to be awesome, but teams value how good the picks are. Said it a couple of years ago. They can easily wind up being Suns East if they can't cash in those picks

Yep and he could have gotten a very good player if he would have traded the next two Net picks in the offseason or last deadline but he's stubborn as hell

Now the Nets look like a decent team and those picks aren't gonna get you a star at this point

But all those picks he offered Charlotte were gonna be mid to late first round picks which isn't worth much

The only big assets he had were the Nets picks which now don't look as good as they did a month ago

Frank is gonna end up better than everyone on that list too

[Spyro]

There are so many stars in the NBA right now, so many players capable of putting up video game numbers

 

[SchoolboyC]

He over values what he has and asks for way too much in deals. He thinks everyone is Billy King and the desperate Russian.

And he's not going anywhere cause the dumbass homers in Boston refuse to hold him accountable for anything. This team can't get an offensive rebound unless it's by accident and it's everyone's fault but his. They've put it in their heads that he's gonna swoop in and make another KG/Ray Allen miracle.

People convinced themselves he was gonna trade the Nets picks for a superstar, and well he'll probably end up trading them for Nerlens or Okafor

As far as drafting goes, Boston is Sacramento East

Meh.

The Kings draft in the top 10 every year. Only player on that list that was a top 10 pick was Smart.

Speaking of the Kings, they're already ready to give up on WCS
