The Regime

LOL good explanation.

And so is Rivers. No way can you expect him to transition to pg. He averaged more turnovers than assists lmao. Hornets missed big time on that pick imo.

Is Eric Gordon no longer on the team? If he still is, then can someone explain this pick to me.

It's from the movie Taxi lol. Not a show.

Kings have to select Robinson. He and Cousins would be a handful for any team.

^ That was a legit tweet from Metta himself.

I'm a little suprised that MKG went as high as 2. But the Bobcats really couldn't go wrong with him or Robinson.

Got it off TLN. Metta tweeted this earlier: .Take it for what it's worth. It's probably just Metta overreacting to rumors that he has been hearing.

He was a turnover machine in the finals. I just don't see why the Thunder need another guy who is most effective with the ball in his hands when you have Westbrook and Durant. With his contract coming to an end I would certainly look into the opportunity to move up if I'm OKC.

I didn't watch Bradley Beal play a whole lot, but man has this dude been hyped the last week or so. His stock has just skyrocketed. Just today I heard someone compare him to Ray Allen as far as his shooting stroke is concerned. Beal would actually be a good fit for the Thunder imo. One thing that the Thunder really struggled with in the finals was hitting shots from the perimeter. Beal sounds like a perfect solution to that problem. With the amount of attention that Durant and Westbrook draw through penetration he would be put in a favorable position. And If he does live up to expectations I really think the Thunder could be better off in the long run. I've said it since day 1, Harden is overrated. I would much rather sign Ibaka over him, just because he brings more to the table defensively. The Thunder already have two legitimate scorers so Harden isn't a necessity, just a luxury.

Just quickly glancing at your top 10 I think you ranked Austin Rivers too high. Toronto needs a playmaker way more than a scorer imo.

Giants with the sweep!!!! Now all nodded up with the Dodgers on top of the NL West. It was nice to see Lincecum pitch a good game.

Spain's defense really is something else. They took Ronaldo completely out of the game, he had just one clean look all game. I'm really pulling for the winner of the Germany/Italy game to take them out.

Alright fixed it for you guys. My bad.

Thoughts?

There is a difference between giving a team credit and riding them as if they just did the impossible. I'm just stating facts, you're the one who takes it the wrong way.

On ESPN this morning Steven A Smith guaranteed atleast two more championships for the Heat if Ray Allen signs with them. LMAO! The guy jocks the Heat as much as anyone nowadays.

Nice mock. I mentioned this in another thread but I also expect Sullinger to drop out of the top 15 or even top 20. Also I'm almost certain that Austin Rivers wont get drafted in the top 15, lack of size and athleticism for a two guard is really going to hurt his stock.

Awesome. Nice to have another Thunder fan on this site. Welcome back!

The pg position is changing as we know it. Most pg's today are athletic and score first. Outside of Rondo and probably CP3, what elite pg plays the position traditionally? Plus Westbrook is still young. He has the playmaking ability in him as the postseason proved he just needs to play smarter at times.

Limiting turnovers which goes hand in hand with becoming a better passer and becoming a better defender are two things that he most needs to improve on this offseason. If I remember correctly he and Westbrook combined for the most turnovers as a duo. Durant needs to play more decisively and anticipate plays before they happen. Defensively he already has the length, height, and quickness he just needs to bulk up a little so he can body bigger guys. That has been the one knock on him since he entered the league. I still cant believe the dude weighs 220 lbs, he looks nothing like it.
