i have something to say about the offseason THE 2016 NBA OFFSEASON

brief segue: apparently d'antoni is up for the rockets job and I can't decide if that would be batshit insane and good or batshit insane and absolutely awful

lol poor dantoni a visionary who remade the nba can only get jobs w dysfunctional teams now

wonder when nash will coach

d'antoni rockets makes too much sense

if harden cld be convinced to move the ball more freely he wld be incredible

gonna go ahead and predict the team will not be significantly better on offense next year

pacers roster definitely needs a revamp if they want to make it through the first round. i'd like to see something like:

a good pnr pg (jeff teague?)/george hill/paul george/thaddeus young/myles turner

monta can come off the bench or die in a fire

pacers along w a lot of other teams gonna have a hard time picking up free agents this year that everyone has money

teague wld be extremely perfect for them tho ya

i just noticed conley is a UFA this year?

hes still only 28 somehow

tha pacers having the second best player in the east and being a consistent playoff team should help their chances

i too am skeptical that the pacers will be significantly better on offense next year but the roster will look diff and myles turner will be a year older so who knows

they've been to the playoffs in 4 of the last 5 years

also lebron will be the 2nd best player in the east next year ;)

ur in too deep micah!

since when do the pacers have millsap

you're kidding right?

millsap and george are pretty comparable, yeah

says a lot about the east that there's not a more obvious candidate

lowry was the 2nd best regular season player in the east imo but its hard to say now that he's slumping so hard in the offs again

lot of second best guys in the east

kinda like how 6-20 in the league as a whole is p fluid

also always at least three 5th best players

the best player by win shares per minute this year was someone named Rakeem Christmas who played 6 minutes for the pacers

2nd was boban, 3rd was steph, 4th was giannis's brother who played 6 minutes for the knicks

rakeem christmas def sounds like an an extremely real person not the name u use to register pirated software

Noel Hanukkah.

Kris Kwanzaa.

i use the name 'dj andrews' for that which could be a hypothetical basketball player

Rashomon Hashanah.

I have used dirk nowitzki as my software pirate name for over a decade, cheers adobe

lmao

jerk crackwitzki

Might be the best guy who's really available after durant, depending on how you feel about horford or how the hawks handle him

Nobody talked about him being unrestricted this year because it seemed like the grizz would just go on and on but their implosion makes me think he could easily find a new spot and be really really good somewhere else

(I don't think Lebron or Drummond are going anywhere, whiteside has issues, I think demar is fools gold)

would be interesting to see conley on a team that plays more uptempo.

ya seems like this version of the griz is nearing its terminus, wonder if gasol is available

they would need to establish him again and prove he can still play at a high level, build up his value

ya prob

I hope Phil never leaves the knicks

no no carne you need him back

mmm yes... yes http://nba.nbcsports.com/2016/05/06/report-lakers-want-to-trade-first-round-pick-more-for-paul-george

*dubious sourcing

dave joerger gone, which...seems unfairly reactionary

although per woj it appears he was looking at other jobs anyway so more of a layoff I guess

saw a horford to the spurs rumor makes too much sense

Now that the spurs have lma and kahwi, it won't hurt them so much when they lose manu and timmy, especially if they keep popovich and can lure in solid FAs.
