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

fournier is really intriguing

def

Thought this would be as ridiculous as the title suggests but makes at least an interesting point.

moving noel, on the hook for 2 (?) more years before his first off-rookie scale contact which would almost certainly be signed with the sixers for money reasons, in exchange for a one yr teague rental is maybe not the best plan for the closest thing to an nba player currently on their roster

hinkie must be rolling in his grave rn

i need yall to do me a favor and go on the twitter and start posting stuff like 'smart move by the sixers' and how teague would be an established leader and bring experience winning to that roster plus noel doesn't really fit on that roster and he has that injury history if yall could just do that for me thx

lol

simmons has an article on what kd shd do and im gonna read it wish me luck

im gonna read it too because i love content

hold up gonna warm up some soup before reading

spoiler the last four paragraphs are abt nike v under amour i guess cause simmons read that one article or w/e

its good under armour exists in the era of tasteful athleisure so ppl who want to wear some truly hideous shit have a brand to turn to

I hate everything UA basically but i don't mind Curry's line of shoes

better than KDs line by a mile

i only wear new balance

most contempo basketball shoes are so out of my realm of aesthetic appreciation anyway but im gonna disagree just on principal

what do you wear to ball in?

not sure if i buy that the east is going to remain this easymode path to the finals for the rest of the decade, it'll prob still be true next year but theres a lot of moving parts in the nba and player contracts are relatively short. steph curry is only signed for 1 more year. strange things can happen.

shamefully ive been wearing these nike running shoes that actually have p decent cross train ability like i lift in them too but prob been playing enough where i shd prob just get some basketball shoes

wow man you're disrespecting the game wearing those on the court

haha they actually look not that different than a lot of these slipper ass looking low tops ppl r wearing these days but ya generally i cant really argue

lol'd at the hardline diss there

you've got to get to a nike outlet asap. pick whatever last year model is on sale and get your mind right.

ill be honest this is not easy to hear but i know deep down u r right

KD should sign with the Cavs if he wants an easy in to the Finals.

ha tru

goon if you come to portland i will have you arrested on sight and locked away for an afternoon in the top secret nike employee store

nice ive heard abt this store and aspire to visit it

you basically have to be batman to get in there iirc, tho i have family at nike so could maybe get a pass? idk how it works even

the doris burke article was good i was surprised to learn pop is sexist

maybe not surprised but u kno

he does come off as a bit of an asshole

i do not think that interview showed that pop was sexist

good interview tho, doris is great

Well, that does remind of what happened with you and San Antonio head coach Gregg Popovich, when he wouldn't answer your questions besides saying “turnovers.”

Yeah, and me choking back tears?

Yeah, I remember being very happily surprised that you admitted vulnerability after that. You’re like Hillary Clinton in that people expect you to prove toughness in a way that men don’t need to.

Yes, yes, displaying a level of strength and a lack of vulnerability, because that’s what a prerequisite of the job is, when, in actuality, all of the things that make us human will help us do that job better. I’ve been expressing my vulnerability because it’s the truth. I was literally on the verge of tears. And my take on that Popovich situation has changed. We all used to give him a pass because he would say to us privately, "Well, I just can’t help myself. I’m in the game, and this is my job." But I don’t give him a pass anymore. It now frustrates me to the point where I want to say, "I’m not giving you a pass because I’ve seen you when Jeff Van Gundy walks over there, and the interaction is totally different."

yeah i read the interview

life would be a lot easier and our problems solved a lot quicker if it were valid to reflexively ascribe malice to individual actors part of a situation as complex and at times ugly as doris' story breaking into the NBA, but it's not. i do understand that a substantial subset of the internet believes that this is the way it works, tho

good job at equating casual sexism with active malice, way to move the basketball ring

if you think that anecdote shows pop as being "casually sexist" based on a comparison of one interview with doris and the way he interacts with a former colleague, then god bless

the point of the story wasn't pop's sexism it was...systemic sexism in sports and media

SO Hornacek was the idiot after all
