NBA 2014/15 thread. Aussie invasion

World Cup warm up games about to start which goes straight into the world cup which runs right into training camp. So we are as good as on.


Predictions?

Absolutely pumped for the draft tomorrow.

#WelcomeToLAJahlil #GunnaBeAStar

He could still easily sign with Cavs. Think it’s better long term for Cavs if they don’t re-sign him, for salary reasons and Tristan Thompson reasons. But he’s av extremely valuable player, also wonder is JR Smith will re-sign as well.

Kevin Love opted out - FA

love this time of year

Hope he ends at Lakers

Vonleh is going to be good, he is soo young still.

Yeh thats the thing, still got time to grow.

Could be Thabeet, but might not be…

Kemba, Batum, MKG & Al Jeff.

For at least one season that looks like a very good 4. Will be good on defence & got rid of Lance Stepheson. Still trying to shop Cody Zeller by reports.

Would've been happy to see this go through.

surely that’s mental. 76ers can’t have had too much trouble deciding on that one.

That’s absurd. I mean, I really rate Smart, but come on.

trade complete - looks like blazers see writing on the wall with LAM

mini rebuild

Sound like we're finalizing Nic Batum to Charlotte for Vonleh and Henderson.

Not sure how to feel about that. Reckon that might mean LMA is gone and we’re going to try and build a young core.

Nic had a rough year.

Not a fan. Don’t rate Vonleh or Henderson at all.

Rumours are Kevin Love is going to be a S&T deal.

Edit: Now opting out?

Sacramento, no matter how Irresponsible Cousins is off-field, would be insane to trade him.

Would be happy to take him as a Laker man but only if we got a downgraded pick as well to have a shot at Russell/Mudiay.

Thought I’d jumped into a West Coast thread from 2003…

Gotta hand it to the Celtics for having a crack. But holy moly.

Celtics trying to tempt Kevin Love by saying they’ll team him up with Robin Lopez and Paul Pierce.

Or he could stay with Lebron and Kyrie. Decisions Decisions…

is this one real or are we just making these celtic offers up now?

Celtics offer Avery Bradley and Tyler Zeller to Clippers for Chris Paul and Griffin.

Must admit… I was almost in tears when I read this. Boston providing the LOL’s once again.

That Sacramento organisation is an absolute mess from top to bottom.

Vivek, Divac & Karl all need to go.

Not sure how Lakers can trade for Boogie considering they can't use their first round pick this year.

Technically they can.

They just have to draft a player first and on-trade them.
