2014/2015 NBA Season Thread

[Gnnr]

I can't believe we actually got Napier. I guess the rumors were true after all. He's a good pick, but I hope the other part of the rumor is not going to play out (trading Cole). I'd rather ship Chalmers out somewhere and keep Cole. As nice as Napier is, this team needs to build to win now and we've already developed Cole to this point and I feel he is more consistent to trust than Chalmers.

I think this is still the likely scenario. It wont hurt Bosh and Wade to take a cut (in a income tax free state) considering they will get more money in endorsements if they continue to get the publicity they are getting now, which is sure to continue as long as they stay together.

Chips are the name of the game, so this mercenary(LeBron) is gonna go where he can win... Honestly love is better than bosh, Irving is better then wade's broke down ass at the moment, unless wade can show that he can play then it's a different story.... It doesn't matter where he goes if he can add some rings to his resume then he will consider it.. Same goes for melo he's not going to Chicago cause it's pretty much the same situation there he's gonna have to carry the load offensively, cause in all honestly and I freakin hate to say it but rose's knees are done same with wade.. And rose needs his knees to be the same rose I love and the league feared, he was tearing opponents up.... Come on Brone by himself took the cavs to the finals, now with Irving and love if he signs that's a contender and better then what Miami might have... I'm just being a realist.. Chips is the name of the game.. And on a side note I hope rose proves me wrong,, I would be happy for that humble dude, he deserves to be at a 100%....

Everyone is forgetting that the 1st year was about building chemistry. If you think if Lebron goes somewhere else it will be instant championship you don't understand how the NBA works.

Additionally, if you have a problem with resting Wade, then you also have a problem with Popovich resting Duncan, Parker and Ginobli on a regular basis. Get a clue, this is the smart thing to do nowadays. Wade was on fire in the ECF. His performance in the Finals was not because of health, it was because his game during the series (like the rest of the team). I have no problem resting Wade and getting some fresh legs in there for the regular season.

The NBA is getting better with maintaining their older players. Don't sleep on them, look at what the Mavs did to the Spurs in the first round. Speaking of which, lookout for the Mavs next season. The moves they are making with Chandler coming back, etc..., I will say they are poised to be a tough matchup in the playoffs. I don't know why Chandler left in the first place.
