NBA 2016-17 Season Thread - Knicks in 6

What a crazy offseason this has been.

I like that pick for the Mavs. I think Dennis Smith JR is going to be good.

I just wish Eastern conference teams would stop making Western conference teams better. That Wolves team is spooky now.

Fuck GarPax.

Pretty happy the Warriors were somehow able to get Jordan Bell without even having a pick in this draft, same as they got McCaw last year.

Fuck the draft was boring as shit to watch.

I guess it was because my Raptors had a pick outside the lottery, but I didn't care. The trades the last couple days have interested me, but unless CP3 or possibly Lowry end up on the Spurs, I don't think anything matters for next year. Just crazy to think that GS could have a season ending injury to either of their best 2 players and still be the favorite to win the title. I can't think of another team in history I could say that about. Maybe one of the Celtics teams that won 8 championships in a row, but even then, they might still have won, but probably aren't favorites without Bill Russell.

You could split the team in half and still have two playoff teams.

If you took ANY five players in the NBA, and threw them on the same team. You would still favorite Golden State in that 7 game series. I silly is that? I couldn't think of any combo that could stop or keep up with GS in scoring.

Can't stop Golden state from scoring with that squad. That's a wash IMO. I'd put my money on GS. Close money, but I'd take GS. Though GS probably couldn't stop Davis.

That was my team also, except I took Irving over Lowrey.

Why the fuck would you take Lowry?

Yeah, he's only the 2nd best point guard in the NBA...I'd still go with Chris Paul. I feel like there's probably a better option than Porzingis, too. Giannis isn't a good enough shooter, but would fill a lot of roles. KAT/Davis twin towers would be pretty amazing.
