NBA discussion thread

That was pretty good entertaining game, kobe deserved it. Lebron had a stupid move in the 1st qaurter i think when he attempted to do TMAC. Could have gotten injured.

So what's the update on Kidd comning L.A.?

He's staying in NJ.

Thorne said there's a 5% chance that he'll trade him, but he could be bluffing.

5% that he'll trade anybody.

I wouldn't be surprised if Carter gets traded. It's a pretty good chance that he will not come back so it's better to get something for him now than getting nothing when he becomes a FA.

I'm thinking the deal most likely to happen is Gasol to the Bulls.

Kidd isn't going anywhere, I don't think.

Cavs have Bibby and Andre Miller high on their want list. Please, for the love of God, get a PG.

So LeBron has to quit playing the PG spot.

Miller would be a poor choice, he's more of a shoot first kind of point guard. He would be an upgrade for them (but who wouldn't be?), but I don't believe he would make a significant enough impact to put them at the next level. A couple teams want Bibby, but I don't think any of them want his contract.

Sure you didnt mean Bibby there wuTster? Miller shares the ball pretty well and always averages high assist numbers.

Bibby would be aweswome for the Cavs.

No, I meant Miller. He's not the clutch player Bibby is, and Cleveland really needs a clutch player. I'll admit that I haven't seen Miller play that much this year, but I have seen quite a few games of his when he was with Denver. I noticed in those games that Boykins would run the offense just as effectively as Miller. Miller always seemed to be lookin for his shot, and if he was making them, than Denver would do good,and he would get his assists(because obviosly his scoring would open up more teammates). But Miller is a streak shooter, and when he was missing his shots he would struggle, and so would the teams offense(besides Anthony of course) so Boykins would come off the bench, and steer the offense back on track because he's more of a passer. Now I'll admit that Bibby isn't the purest point guard in the world, but I think his passing is better than Millers, and he can run an offense more effectivly w/o having to score points, plus like I said, better clutch shooter.

Kidd is going to the Lakers, I heard the talks are heating up and someone said something about the Blazers getting involved.

How are u sure?

Why wouldn't Miller be a good choice? The Cavs want LeBron as a finisher, not to be the main play maker. That worked with Carmelo and the Nuggets, why not LeBron?

How did it work with Carmelo and the Nuggets?

Miller relies on his shooting as a PG, and is a streak shooter, when he's not hitting his shots, or is getting locked down on D, Lebron will be right back at square one as having to be the playmaker for the Cavs to win, just like Melo had to do in Denver when Miller was his PG. Miller will put up some decent numbers, but he's not a playmaker, and that's exactly what Lebron and the Cavs need.

With the style of play Miller brings to a team I think he would be a good fit for the Cavs.

'Melo got to play a lot more off-ball with Miller than LeBron ever has. That in its own right shows that Miller should be a step up.
