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

letting kobe play a zillion minutes of low efficiency bball for a couple years was a brilliant tanking mechanism+cover-up all in one

+hiring byron scott

whats funny is its still unclear if they were doing it on purpose lol

they were 1 million percent not trying to tank on purpose

ya i tend to agree the tell being their repeated failed attempts to sign free agents

tho tanking cldve been their backup plan

trading for roy hibbert and signing nick young and hiring byron scott will def go down as the most successful accidental tanking plan of all time tho

it was pretty genius. probably faked that j randle injury too. let the man sit a year and don't f him up having to listen to kobe/byron for an extra year

League sources tell http://hoopscritic.com that the Utah Jazz are actively trying to trade Gordon Hayward.

didn't really see that one coming

wonder what the dramz is

whoa wut

prob doesnt want to play on a team that has to burn the first 10 seconds of the shot clock waiting for an extremely large frenchmen to lumber down the court

decided utah was too white

saw some tweets suggesting that dude might not be the most reliable of sources but fuck it tweets >>>>>>> facts

yeah i think mark stein said the jazz weren't trading him lol

damn i want drama

drama! trades! drama!

yeah that hayward stuff is straight bs

sad

Teague to pacers

TRAAAAAAAADES YES

wow alright

Jeff Teague to Pacers in 3-team deal w/ Hawks, Jazz.
Hawks get No. 12 pick, George Hill to Utah. (via @TheVertical)

hawx in full rebuild that quick?

basically exactly the type of player the pacers need

Watch the Hawks flip that pick to the spurs, watch

I like handing over the reigns to Schroeder but I figured we could do better than the 12th pick

Well done Larry. Happy for Teague to play in his hometown

apparently they can sign 2 max players now

harrison and ezili

ha

omg

The Bulls are sending Derrick Rose, Justin Holiday and a 2017 2nd-round pick for Robin Lopez, Jerian Grant and Jose Calderon, per source.

praises be to the basketball gods for this bounty of messy trade drama

Rose on the Knicks sounds fun

former mvp traded for the lesser lopez brother, what a tumble

*whispers* i like this trade for both sides

the knicks buying into an aging point guard's twilight years.... what a time to be alive

Rose, Melo, Dwight

Is this Ewing all over again? i mean cut in 3 diff people but still EWING

feel v sorry for the anxiety prone rose to have to fail under the big lights of nyc media tbh but on the other hand LOL

He'll buy a nice house in yonkers

lil wide right but good attempt at regional refernce

hooray Jerian Grant Bulls jersey!

I was mostly imagining him hanging out at Sarah Lawrence but thx

P jax loves his big point guards with no outside shot, could kind of see this one coming

Prob an ok gamble to sell to Carmelo to convince him that they're trying to win now-ish rather than prepping for zinger's prime but obviously it's not going to work out that well

sarah lawrence is in bronxville

Jerian grant is not half-bad from what I saw of him. Horace's nephew!

ah see I am old and forget what towns my friends went to college in, best of luck anyways to the grads out there
