    I feel you, Knicks weren't relevant since the first year Melo got there. s---, I dont even remember what were they like even then. I dont know what worse, being Pistons or Knicks fan. At least Pistons got their s--- together when SVG came so some positive vibe is building.

    Yea, I'm sure he and LeBron talked today. Heat offered him 40M/2yr 1+1 deal today tho. Hard to see him not accepting that, unless if it isn't a 20M-20M split, but some 13M-27M bs.

    People giving Warriors already a tittle but forgetting that defense wins championship, not offense. Lost Bogut who is their rim protector and high IQ player and part of the reason why Warriors lost 3 in a row cause he got injured the last 2 and Barnes who can defend and Ezili who is a nice 10-15 min backup and has room to grow. That's something no one talks about but could turn out to be really an issue.

    na the best year was 2012-13. we were the 2nd seed, beat boston in the first round and lost to the pacers the second round. Same vibe with Phil, everything is going better now that we have better management and were not trading first round picks for andrea bargnani.

    Barnes is still a more than a solid role player, it happens bro. Stage got to big for him, he's still young, he'll be alright in Dallas. But bro maxing out Beal who can't stay healthy and playing with 30 minute restriction when he plays is crazy. For the sake of John Wall I hope Wizards go somewhere this year.

    I agree. Bron wasn't on KD's level. But lebron, KG, Ray Allen opened door for this s---. Also KD happens to be on friends with Iggy and Curry which was never the case with bron and Celtics or magic. But bron chose his friends in Wade and bosh as well. Am not saying KD ain't a more shocking move but he's just following a culture that started before him with the Celtics and Bron.

    They went to game 7 with the cavs and were one minute away from winning. If people think kyries being healthy the first time would have all a sudden guaranteed a win when they were on the brink this time around then there's nothing else to say. Plus the reason this works is because GSW are truly unselfish. It's not fake. Them n----s just wanna win.

    did noah have a serious injury? am i missing something? lol his shoulder is good based off his physical and what reports state. As far as the Offense goes, Melo's game was different compared to his previous years and that was with a lesser talented roster. He was a way more willing passer last year and not as ball dominant in the new system. (Led the team in assist) Hornacek is a good pg coach so hopefully that helps Drose adjust to a new system.

    The Wizards havent improved so idk how they're in the same class as the Knicks. Obviously health is a key thing when it comes to the Wizards & Knicks because Beal and Rose are made of paper but if both teams are healthy it's a no brainer.

    Cavs, Raptors, Celtics, Heat, Knicks, Indiana Pistons, Hawks, then you got teams like the Bucks, Charlotte, Wizards

    That's why as an NBA player you gotta have tough skin. Can't be scared of n----s calling you a bandwagoner when those same n----s would be the first to dismiss your whole hall of fame career because you never won a championship.

    U got no idea bruh.. the way people disrespect wall round here u would think hes a bust playing on a great team.
    Lmao dude is legit a point guard Lebron, a black steve nash who cant s---t, whatever u wanna call a dude averaging 20 nd 10 w/ a garrett temple and khris humphries in the starting lineup for most the season
    Would have been dope to get dude somebody like a horford but honestly u put a true star around wall nd i think this dude would take the Wiz pretty far. ie 2 years ago when beal was balling out in the playoffs they were beating on the #1 hawks till he broke his wrist.
    Dude is a warrior mane coming off surgeries on both knees right after the season ended yet only missed like 5 games max crazy.

    But yea when u see beal doing this



    And this



    And this



    Somebody was gonna give dude a max. We had the cap space nd already seen him nd wall ball out. Wiz are the only DC sports team that got trouble recruiting free agent talent as well so no guarantee that we cud even get another player of his caliber cap space or not feel me. Heard hes working on his body more than usual this offseason and even declined usa roster spot to continued his training so call me cautiously optimistic. If he can ball on a high level for those 30 min everything shud work itself out regardless

    John Wall gonna be top 10 all time in assists when it's all said and done. Beal is a top 3 SG potential if he stays healthy, no doubt, I like him. I don't know with how much cap Wizards are still working but if I was them I would be chasing and offering trades for Cousins all day. Great friend of Wall + Kings are absolute disgrace to the league with the way they are handling anything, Cousins is outta there asap. I would make that one of the top priorities this season and next off season along with getting a playoff spot. Wall ain't gonna spend his whole career there with no progress.

    Lol. So disrespectful bruh. Lemme address Noah first.
    This dude was very subpar on O last year and seemed a bit slow defensively which is the main reason yall got dude to replace robin lopez who was solid to above on d from what i seen. Gonna have to report to @Poohdini to confirm the part bout noah but he seemed to be wearing down.
    Now u talking bout if all things equal, healthy or whatever. U just gonna dismiss the fact 3/5 of yall starting 5 is new. Along w/ the fact rose is coming off a year where there was multiple growing pains w/ rose playing next to another star in butler. Joey Gall is a beast tho.
    Anyway after the markieff morris trade the wiz played much better defense nd rebounding, 2 things that murked em time after time was much improved. Then u got porter nd beal of which r both young enough to improve so there potential impact cannot be truly measured. But all i know is they retaining a starting 5 that was pretty competitive 2nd half nd should be able to compete w/ any team not named the cavs come playoffs

    Kinda perplexing to watch Jo last year. Started the year awful missing dunks/layups, but he started to get rolling around the same time as Rose did, but he ended up busting his shoulder.
