***OFFICIAL NBA 2017-2018 SEASON THREAD***

[Miller4Prez64]

As of today, the Orlando Magic are 4-1 and sit alone atop the Eastern conference standings. Surely this won't last but I'll enjoy the moment.

[Konatown]

Glad to see the Magic play well after last years regression. It's way too early, but would be nice if they turn the corner this year. Gordon is balling

[Swashy]

I don't know why the Magic have decided to come out and beat teams like Cleveland and San Antonio. It could be that they were not being taken seriously but then again Aaron Gordon has gone ****ing nuts to start the year. If you get a guy scoring 40 points (and too bad it's not gonna happen every night) you're going to win some games.

The Celtics have now won 14 straight games

[Phantom Phenom]

15 straight win

[Phantom Phenom]

OKC 12-14

[Stephenip12]

Joel embid is a stud. I have a feeling the trend will shift from 3pt shooters to big men with guard skills.

Embid
Porzingas
Karl Anthony Towns
Anthony Davis
Demarcus Cousins
Ben Simmons

Still picking the Celtics to get to the finals.

Cavs gave up 148 points to OKC

Pelicans center DeMarcus Cousins suffered a left Achilles tear Friday night and will miss the rest of the season, league sources tell ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. Cousins landed awkwardly while trying to rebound his own missed free throw late in the game.

Hi, Bucs fans. NBA.com reports the L.A. Clippers Offically trades(ed) Blake Griffin to the Detroit Pistons for two PTBNL.

[Super K]

You guys see this **** about Lebron and the Warriors today?...

Are you ****ing kidding me?!?!?...

[uscbucsfan]

You guys see this **** about Lebron and the Warriors today?...

Are you ****ing kidding me?!?!?...

The report was based off one of Lebron's people responding to the question, "If the Warriors could give James the max, would he talk to them." The answer was yes....next up "Lebron James would consider the Warriors"

[Phantom Phenom]

The Cavs are mildly better right now than last year, they're deeper but they downgraded at PG. I know Thomas had some epic stats last year, but that was as the primary ball handler and playmaker in Boston's offense. He's in a new role and new offense and I don't think he will be as dominate offensively to make up for the fact that he's too small to guard Curry in the Finals. That was an underrated aspect Kyrie brought to the last few Finals, he made Steph work for his points and had him straight shut down a few times.

I just hope the East becomes a bit more open the next few seasons. The last time a LeBron James led team didn't win the East was 2010, I respect and admire the man's dominance but I look forward to some new rivalries and stories in the East.

NOPE...

Hi, Bucs fans! Cleveland Cavaliers traded Channing Frye and Isiah Thomas to the L.A. Lakers for Jordan Clarkson and Larry Nance, Jr.

[Super K]

Cavs are a dumpster fire...

[DreadNaught]

Hi, Bucs fans! Cleveland Cavaliers traded Channing Frye and Isiah Thomas to the L.A. Lakers for Jordan Clarkson and Larry Nance, Jr.

So the Cavs traded Kyrie Irving for Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic and Brooklyn's unprotected 1st rounder.

Now they trade away Thomas and Frye for Clarkson and Nance.

So they essentially traded Kyrie Irving and Channing Frye for a bunch of end of the bench/rotation players and a draft pick.

Maybe they can trade that 1st round pick from Brooklyn for some other shitty player just to cap it off.

Well done Lebron. GM of the Year!!!

[Phantom Phenom]

Celtics for EAST!!!!

[DreadNaught]

Reports are the Cavs are trading away Rose and Crowder to Utah in a 3-team deal where they get George Hill in return.

Cavs also trading Dwayne Wade back to the Miami Heat.

So the Cavs have gotten rid of Wade, Thomas, Crowder, Frye, and Rose so far today.

[DreadNaught]

Cavs are a dumpster fire...

this

[Zarniwoop]

damn that's half our roster

[DreadNaught]

Today the Cavaliers traded:
Isaiah Thomas
Jae Crowder
Derrick Rose
Iman Shumpert
Channing Frye
Dwayne Wade
1st Rounder (their own, not the one from the Nets)

And they got:
George Hill
Rodney Hood
Jordan Clarkson
Larry Nance Jr.
MIA 2nd Rounder

[Phantom Phenom]

and y'all thought Cavs are the team to beat in EAST lol

[Deuce]

Everything is looking pretty swell for my Rockets. Playoffs should be fun. I'd like to see GS and OKC match up before we face either.

[Super K]

Today the Cavaliers traded:
Isaiah Thomas
Jae Crowder
Derrick Rose
Iman Shumpert
Channing Frye
Dwayne Wade
1st Rounder (their own, not the one from the Nets)

And they got:
George Hill
Rodney Hood
Jordan Clarkson
Larry Nance Jr.
MIA 2nd Rounder

But they kept that high flying basketball phenom known as Tristan Thompson!
