I mean I guess we can start the offseason thread 2 months before the offseason.

Well, this was a little early...

Did you mean to title this Post season news. Glad to hear Granger will play and I hope we're just saving Bynum for later but info on his health has been quite.

Will Galen has such little confidence in the Pacers that it's foregone conclusion to him that the Pacers season is over....hence the Offseason thread

Re: Offseason News, Trades, Rumors, Etc.

One year after a thrilling year in which the Knicks finished second in the East, Carmelo Anthony and co. limped to a 37-45 — which the SCHOENE system predicted back in October. The SCHOENE projections also correctly predicted that Knicks offense wouldn’t be able to keep up with its ridiculous output in the 2012-13 season (the Knicks scoring differential dropped from +4.3 to -.9 this year).

When presented with the calculations before the season started, Carmelo Anthony wasn’t impressed.

“Sometimes there’s glitches in the computer. That’s all I can say.”

Knicks coach Mike Woodson played the “this computer never played the game” card.

“Do they play? It’s a computer system. I don’t think computers run up and down the floor.”

This one cracks me up!

Vogel said that longer the #Pacers play, odds increase of Bynum rejoining roster. ...well, Pacers would have to play until September then

Can you just post this stuff in the random thoughts thread? It's the exact same stuff.

Re: Offseason News, Trades, Rumors, Etc.

Will is perfectly right to post this. The off season has begun for several teams. The draft is now in play for them and they are going to be making coaching and front office changes.

Let's all just be grateful that the Pacers season continues.

I don't think there is any problem with having an offseason thread already, so long as it actually has offseason news instead of postseason or random tweets.

Re: Offseason News, Trades, Rumors, Etc.

I'm cool with it, as long as I can add a few trade scenarios.

Let me get started....

Why go with failed retreads? There are top assistants and college coaches out there.

Hiring people who have failed is how we ended up with JOB.
