NBA 2013 Season thread

Time for the regular season and other such things like

The Spurs

Dwightmare 2

Paul George's rise to superstardom

Anthony Davis: Best Big Man in the NBA

Featuring: The Portland Trailblazers

I hope the Heat can re-sign Chris Anderson. His energy and hustle is essential. Not to mention he played well offensively during the playoff stretch.

Bulls can only really make a lateral move this offseason due to their cap situation. Even with Rose (hopefully) coming back next year I'm still not sure the Bulls will be a better team than the Pacers.

NBA hell here we come

I'm not convinced CP3 is leaving quite yet.

Howard leaving L.A for Houston would make things real interesting out West... But Harden and Howard on the same team doesn't exactly scream top contender to me.  Idk, I guess its just something I would have to see to believe. 

I would also like to see all the point guards return next year fully recovered and ready to elevate their teams.  A lot of players will be working hard in the offseason looking to be the ones to uplift their team and knock the Heat off next year.  

Clippers should trade Griffin for Grimer. Get rid of that softness of big men they have. 

One more season of burden ass beans and RJ and then we have $20 mil next summer. We wont get the king but we will get some badass player.

This might make Hablo cream himself:

Chandler Parsons has been recruiting Dwight Howard to sign with the Houston Rockets.

"I talk to Dwight every day, Parsons said. Ive created a relationship with him where I feel like were very close. He hits me up about everything. Ive covered pretty much every question hes had. I basically tell him We have a chance to be really good without you next year. Were going to have a good season. Why not come and join us, join our core guys that are for sure be here and make great, make us contend for a championship?"

"Thats the main point Ive got from talking to him. He wants to win. He wants to win rings. Its obvious there is no better fit, no better team or opportunity to do that than with us."

Parsons sent Howard a text after watching the Miami Heat celebrate their NBA championship win over the Spurs.

"After watching that last night", Parsons said, "I hit him with, Come to Houston. That could be us."

:)

IF Howard ends up in Houston... maybe he will finally learn some post moves other than the one move I think he knows...

Paul was reportedly "upset" over the deal for Rivers not falling through, so I'm guessing they're just trying to satisfy him any way possible.

Doc Rivers just got traded.... to the Clippers.No_Hablo_Ingles

[QUOTE="No_Hablo_Ingles"]Doc Rivers just got traded.... to the Clippers.Silverbond

I don't really understand what the Clippers are doing by giving up an unprotected first rounder for Doc Rivers. Did Chris Paul tell them that's the only way he'd re-sign? Doc's a good coach but they could've hired another good coach where they didn't have to give up anything. JML897

I expected that kind of reaction, but the heck is a 1st round is going matter if its 20+ pick. Worse comes worse, Doc is a proven coach, and they rather risk a pick to keep cp3. For all god knows cp3 wanted Afri-Am coach according to clips forum, idk perhaps trust issues from Sterling's evil past.

edit:This trade saved them from getting Byron fricken Scott, no offense but his coaching...

[QUOTE="TheWalkingGhost"]D Howard stays with LAL, then they rework Kobe's contract to vet min and amnesty Nashole and trade World Peace. Rework Gasol's contract and sign CP3 and trade for Parsons, hire Jackson as coach. Paul Bryant Parsons Gasol Howard Coach = Phil Jackson SUCK IT HEAT!!!!! ............................Then I woke up....And started to cry. No_Hablo_Ingles

Read the bold fool.

Better question- Why are you dreaming about my boy Chandler Parsons?

Denver just got one hell of a basketball coach-Halftime-

Greg Oden is down in South Florida at the Earl of Sandwich! Would definitely be a good signing for the minimum if the staff sees some potential, he does appear in shape.  Its low risk high reward really.  I could see others overpaying him for two reasons though... 7'0 centers are in high demand and just to avoid him coming to MIA.

He probably realizes he's just another injury away from having his NBA career thrown out the window, so he may be looking out for the highest bidder.  Not sure he desperately wants to win.

We all know he's injury prone.  But he could potentially be the answer to the Heat's interior problems when going up against the Pacers and  the Bulls.  Obviously if he stays healthy which is a huge if.  Frankly, I think it'll be a replay of what happened with Brandon Roy this year but who knows.

Definitely wouldn't want the Heat to throw much money at him, not like they have it any way.  I'm sure somebody picks him up though, he seems to really like the Cavs and I wouldn't blame him for choosing there...

I'm confident we're getting Birdman back though, considering he said he can't wait to go for the three-peat next year at the parade.  Hopefully he follows through with those words.  Heat were the only ones that believed in him.

Hopefully Allen comes back as well. I don't see why he wouldn't, but you never know honestly. I love Norris Cole as well, but I think they need to bring Chalmers back. He comes up huge in big games it seems.

Think we can count on Ray to return as well, he did say these are the best teammates he's ever played with.  And I'll take Bosh's word on this http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/228356/Bosh-Ray-Allen-Is-Coming-Back-To-Heat

Chalmers is the kind of guy who will always make boneheaded plays, but will always show up for your team.  He's come up huge time and time again.  I think he deserves an extension for sure.

Whose first round pick are we getting? Please be Portland or Hawks!

Thomas Robinson trade is "imminent" according to source. Cavs, Spurs, Bulls potential suitors. #Rocketshttp://t.co/ZUqYLafh0U
