NBA 2013-2014 Season Thread

They're saying he's officially out for the season. Probably for the best. Gives him even more time to properly rehab and heal.

Lakers have extended Kobe, 2 years for close to $50 million.

I'd have wanted to see him play a game or two after coming back from an Achilles injury before giving him a ton of money.

Hey, guys. I need some fantasy NBA help, and hopefully this is the right thread.

It's a Yahoo! league, 14-teams H2H, basic scoring.

Here's my team:

PG - Damien Lillard

SG - Andre Iguodala

G - Greivis Vasquez

SF - Jeff Green

PF - Anthony Davis

F - Channing Frye

C - Enes Kanter

C - Joakim Noah

Util - Robin Lopez

Util - Jordan Hill

Bench Nick Young

Bench Victor Oladipo

Bench Kosta Koufos

Anyway I just accepted a Bradley Beal for Oladipo and Kanter trade.

From 1 to 10, how bad is the trade?

(I'm trying to get it vetoed, btw)

[gunnar hendershow]

Beal might be hurt with a leg injury, but that trade is pretty bad regardless. You're making a lateral move at SG and losing Kanter.

Thanks for the reply. I guess I was just fooled by Beal's big numbers.

[gunnar hendershow]

Beal has been real good this year don't get me wrong, and Oladipo has had his struggles but between he and Kanter you're giving up too much basically.

And it's been confirmed that Beal is out "for weeks" with an injury.

[Monkey D. Lars]

We defeated the Spurs!!!

[DYSI]

Paul Pierce out 2-4 weeks is a blessing in disguise for the Nets, he really hasn't shot the ball well and his age is really showing on defense. I'm hoping he can accept a bench role and be our Ginobili rather than having him and JJ play the exact same game together.

How can you not love Tim Duncan?

[Benjamin]

I know nobody watched it live (and why would you), but if you guys can, the Sixers - Magic match was fucking great.

[Meacon Keaton]

I watched parts of it (as in I flipped it on when college basketball went to commercial), but damned if I'm going to sit through a whole Sixers game. Let alone one that went to two overtimes. Hell nawwwwww.

[Benjamin]

I only watched it for the two triple-doubles that the rookies posted up. It was awesome because they were the ones guarding each other.

Can't wait for Oladipo to go to a team that can actually do something, he'll be amazing, I think.

[livid]

Orlando will be able to in a year or two. They'll have a ton of cap room (for 2 max players) and the fact that Florida has no state tax will be awfully enticing.

[gunnar hendershow]

Yeah Orlando actually works as a free agent destination for the same reason Miami does. They have the cap room and all they need to entice free agents is a solid core of youth.

Bennett over Oladipo will go down as one of the bigger draft day blunders in history I suspect.

[Meacon Keaton]

So at this point I've accepted that we are bombing intentionally so we can get one of the "Big Three" in the draft.

[Rafael]

We're becoming specialists at throwing games away in the 4th quarter.

[DMN in the House]

Mamba's back tomorrow!

[VerbalPuke]

I am definitely starting to like how this Pistons team is shaping up. I think the rifht trade could make us really good.

[Plubby]

Yeah, like Josh Smith for LeBron >_<
