2017 NBA Finals: Dubs Get Revenge!

[Val Halla]

The Pelicans aren't a... Fun team. They've got AD, but the rest of the team around him is not great, especially considering how much I think we were let down by Holiday and Evans. A lot of teams were disappointing in this season, and I'd say that New Orleans were the worst for it

I would say 76ers, but they're always a disappointment, aren't they?

I wouldn't say the Sixers were disappointing, with their roster, they were never going to do well. This is mostly down to the terrible draft selections made by Sam Hinkey, picking/draft trading 4 big men in 3 years, 3 of which couldn't even play in their first season, and 2 haven't even seen an NBA court. They'll probably be decent in 2 or 3 years, as the roster shapes around Simmons.

Poor Simmons. He's the same age as me and he's going to have to carry this team...

[Outer Sparta]

Hey, I don't mind the Spurs. As long as it's not Warriors. XD

Eww Warriors.

I'm just ribbing you, Lum. It's all good.

No, not carry. The Sixers need to let him develop, they'll get another good draft pick, and then things will start picking up.

Let's hope so.

Oh, I don't. I want my Wolves to keep the spot of best potential. The Bucks were close but the selection of Thon Maker drops them back, same with the Magic losing Oladipo and Sabonis.

In other news, the Knicks are very quick to start selling Derrick Rose jerseys.

Oh flip. I was not paying attention to this. Did Rose really go to the Knicks?!

Aye. Lots of big trades have been going on. Rose to New York, Teague to Indiana, Hill to Utah, Ibaka to Orlando and Oladipo to OKC

NO IBAKA WHY?!?!?!?!

[Val Halla]

Looks like I'm going to need my Rubio jersey replacing, he's probably gone. :/

So my choice is probably KG, KAT or Dunn.

Diminished role. Didn't sit well with OKC or Ibaka. Trade works out for both of them as Ibaka will get the minutes and OKC get an outstanding defensive wing in Oladipo

Aight. Well, if he's happy there...

KD BETTER STAY IN OKC. >X(

As a Spurs fan, though, I reserve the right to glare at you ominously. And if our teams meet again, may it be like 2014 all over again.

If they meet, may Russell Westbrook dunk your team into oblivion.

He really is the NBA's gentle giant, and he's got great chemistry with the old and the new generations of Spurs basketball both on and off the court.

[Ganos Lao]

Kevin Durant's been connected to another team: The New York Knicks.

The Clippers, Heat and Celtics have all joined in.

You watch him and you forget he's 40 years old, and not 23.

"BAM!"

"POW!"

"POW!"

"...*Looks at carton.*...That's good."

*Everyone stares at him.*

*Mascot spikes camera in frustration.*

I don't see KD fitting in with any of those teams except maybe LA. Celtics aren't ready to contend, Heat are getting old (and the concerns with Bosh), the Knicks have already got two ball hogs in Rose and Melo, as well as no opening for his positions.

Just to add to your analysis, in regards to the Spurs: I have nothing against Durant, but I fear that if he were to sign with us, we'd have to absolutely gut our top eight players in order to make room for him on a max contract, likely losing Danny Green and Tony Parker and having to back fill with bailing wire and duct tape. And duct tape may be good for Red Green, but not for the San Antonio Spurs.

Too many to choose from as a particular favorite, but I get quite the chuckle out of "The sign doesn't say cooking with Timmy."

For all we know, he could sign up with the Raptors. Although growing up in DC, he grew up a Raps fan and wanted to play for them when he grew up....

Imagine if Ujiri could pull that off somehow. Probably not, but that'd be quite the outta left field moment.
