Re: NBA Offseason Thread 2012
Yep game 1 against the Spurs when the Clippers got blown out.
23 points on 63% shooting with 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals in just 27 minutes.
Eric has the potential to be a top 5 defensive PG, on offense he's very inconsistent but I think he'll be a solid starter in the NBA. I don't see him becoming an All-Star but I wouldn't say it's impossible.

No it won't be sad to see Mo go. Chauncey > Mo and I'd much rather have Eric Bledsoe getting Mo's PT. Eric is younger, has more potential, is the much better defender and is a decent offensive player adding to the fact that Mo went ghost as usual in the playoffs and Eric was obviously the better player. As far as Odom goes, if he's mentally into it like he was with the Lakers then the Clippers just got a steal in that trade, however if they get Dallas Odom, the Clippers look like idiots.

Yes, it is a steal of a trade, but I still really like Mo not necessarily because of all on court reasons.

Re: NBA Offseason Thread 2012
Eric Bledsoe and Avery Bradley are very similar players.
Still would rather have AB though..

Re: NBA Offseason Thread 2012
Marked for the Celts getting Sullinger. Even with his back problems there's still a chance he could really work.
And I need to look into this french guy Denver got.

Rondo averaged 11.9 assists per game this year leading the league and Russel Westbrook was in tenth with 5.9, pretty big gap there. The list I looked on couldn't separate 1's and 2's so I noticed the only SG's that averaged over 4 APG were Kobe and D. Wade ranking 13 and 14th among all guards. Most of the Lakers' season they didn't have a passing PG, everything ran through Kobe so he naturally is going to have some assists. As far as Wade goes him and LeBron took turns heading the offense.
Rivers is overhyped, but he does have talent. He also has the luxury of having one of the greatest coaches as a father. It can be done, but he will obviously have to work on turning the ball over, offensive awareness and a few other things.
As far as the Curry/J.J. argument, Curry is my pick, by far.

Kendall Marshall played for UNC, but Rivers wasn't being asked to run the point at Duke so his assist numbers are a bit misleading if you are projecting him to play point in the league which most are. I think it will be an adjustment for him, but one he can eventually make. Like I said I like the guy, and hope he finds success.

That's better than any stupid green room.
Still excited that he fell to the Celtics and we got him!
Hopefully his injury heals... What injury was that again Andy Katz?

Re: NBA Offseason Thread 2012
The Wolves have wanted Pau for a while to pair with Rubio but I don't understand why.
