2016-17 NBA PLAYOFFS THREAD

I made a post a few days ago talking about how boston can't lose this summer and how they can get a Paul george or jimmy butler without giving up jaylen brown, or their nets pick this year or next year.
This game is an example of why I said that.

Smart is a beast defensively and getting better on offense all the time. Still really young. (21 or 22 I think)

Avery Bradley is a great defender and pretty great offensively (maybe the best 3 and D guy in the league?) and just hitting his prime. 46% from the field and 39% from 3. Good rebounder (6.1 per game) good passer.

Ollynik is a pretty good player and still very young.

Crowder is a good defender, shoots 46% from the field and 39% from three (same as bradley) and has good size to play multiple positions and is just entering his prime.

Al horford is really good.

Zeller is an ok backup with good size and young.

Then there is jerebko who had a nice game tonight.

Plus their own draft picks (admittedly not good ones)

There is a chance that they could have a roster next year with thomas (or hell, trade him too), horford, george/butler, hayward, jaylen brown, fultz, plus the nets pick for next year in their pocket.

Young good coach. Good GM

I think it's impossible for them to keep Olynyk this year tho.

Ya, I thought about mentioning him too.

They are set up so well. It would be almost impossible for a horrible GM to screw things up and they actually have a good one.

No, Utah would not benefit from a hard-cap. I think hard-caps are too restrictive and I don't like restrictions in labor. If a team is willing to pay to be better, then they should be able to willing they are willing to accept the tax that accompanies it. It makes no business sense for the NBA either. Other teams make more money when the big teams pay insane amounts of luxury tax.

The answer isn't a hard-cap. It's not max contracts and no draft.

WTF??? So you want the NBA to go the way of MLB and soccer where only the biggest clubs can compete for championships???

I've read some dumb **** before but this takes the cake.

? My rule proposals would make it harder for the two current super teams to ever be formed.

No dude. No it doesn't. EXACT opposite.

Uhh, how?

No max contracts means guys like Kevin Durant and Lebron James would be paid obscene amounts of money that would made it much harder for their respective teams to afford other players. It would make, in theory, an actual differentation between the top 5 players, top 10, top 15, etc, which would make it easier for teams w/o the super-stars to team build.

Dude, look at any uncapped league in the world and you tell me!


A hard cap with no MAX contracts will achieve pay differentiation anyway.

Did I ever say get rid of the salary cap in the NBA? I just said no hard-cap, which there is currently no hard-cap in the NBA.

Hard cap is never happening.

With or without a luxury tax? I don't think I like the idea either way. The current system is better.
