NBA Season 2015-2016

[Who]

Oh boy, Gerald Green vs Kevin Durant. This could get ugly.

[Who]

Steven Adams reminds me a lot of Varejao. The scrappiness. The physical toughness. Well rounded defensive player. Tough rebounder. I still think the team would be better off with S.Adams in a 6th man role behind Ibaka and Kanter. Similar to Varejao behind Gooden / B.Wallace and Big Z early in Varejao's career.

Thunder look awful bad defense horrible shot selection

[Vox_Populi]

Same old OKC Thunder.

Time to call the Thunder's front office for Durant.

They start Adams, because Kanter is atrocious defensively.   Kanter can't be traded until mid January... I imagine we might see one of those guys moved at some point.

Kobe sounds half-arse intelligent in his interview with EJ.

I'm actually softening up on Kobe the last few seasons, still don't like him, but I like that he didn't go on like MJ and be an ass indefinitely. It feels a little gross tbh.

Same old OKC Thunder.

OKC is a testament to the power of talent.  With Durant, Westbrook and Harden, most of the posters here could coach them into the playoffs.  But take Harden away and Durant and Westbrook aren't enough to just overpower everbody, even with a strong collection of role players.

New Orleans is giving Cleveland some trouble right now. I knew once they got healthy we wouldn't have to worry about them challenging Brooklyn's futility.

Yeah, I agree. It's actually kind of amazing, like I'm not sure people are aware because Curry is on fire, but Durant and Westbrook are having MVP caliber seasons. They're the only two guys other than Curry with 30+ PERs. But some of the pieces don't fit, some are just plain bad - Singler has been much worse than Jerebko for comparison, and they're not organized enough.

[BDeCosta26]

You know who would fit OKC perfectly and instantly make them a step or two better than they currently are?

Avery Bradley

Now, realistically, what would you want from the Thunder for him? Can't include KD or Westbrook, or probably even Ibaka. They're lacking a future 1st or two I believe. Is there even a package from that team tofu even consider at this point?

Adams and Waiters for Bradley and Zeller? McGary, Singler and a pick for Bradley and Lee? Idk man. I used to be very interested in going after Adams but the way AB has been playing really makes me reconsider. They may not even have a package of guys they could offer for AB good enough to take considering our super-deep roster.

If rumors about the mutual interest between Waiters and the 76ers is true, then a three-way trade with us, OKC, and Philly would work out pretty well for all involved. Something basically like this:

Boston: Noel

Philly: Waiters, Huestis

OKC: Bradley

I'm not sure if any picks should be involved. If anything, it's probably OKC owing them a pick. Otherwise, I'd put like a top-3 protection on the Memphis pick and send it to Philly.

Interesting pass by Tyreke there

Horrible defense by the Pelicans on the final stretch.
