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

Are they slow on the picks this year or what, seems unusually late for pick 27

lmao jfc

def feels like 20% slower than usual

feel like it alway takes forever stopped watching around #20

I can't believe that vine. Someone please authenticate

a tweet to warm matt armstrong's heart

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojVerticalNBA 1m1 minute ago
So far, 13 of the 27 players drafted tonight are non-American born.

i can authenticate that i know the dude who took it bc his day job is working at the same ad agency i do

That Siakam footage reminded me of Joe smith

........the kings drafted skal, because they're trying to out-hinkie hinkie's wildest #length dreams apparently

the bucks also contenders in the Length Olympics

also yeah why are the kings drafting a bunch of centers, unless...........

Hinkie only pushed the length thing for like a year really

Skal is a good pick there

spurs getting dejounte murray. we need a young PG, so i like it tentatively.

i think skal will be good, but unless kings are trading cauley-stein (still dont think boogie's going anywhere) i don't know why they take him w/ their crowded frontcourt

celtics taking deyonta davis and trading him to memphis (?)

celtics gotta be trading all these second rounders

the solution to too many picks is to trade two now for one later apparently (granted, it's a first rounder)

its like kinda a first rounder

Jalen needs to stop doing the player comparison thing next year please

Mega Leks pipeline 2

I.... Like the clippers draft

people didnt talk this much about ~wingspan~ more than a few years ago did they?

where do you think the wingspan drinking game came from?

draftniks have always been all about wingspan tho

Memphis gets Zagorac... Odd fit imo

I loved Zimmerman in HS...

celtics taking demetrius jackson at 45?

big slider

Not sure why tom penn thinks holiday is starting for the Knicks

DJ!

Didn't the Thunder let someone exactly like Oladipo walk last year in Reggie Jackson?

they're not that similar i don't think?>

Reggie is better probably

so serge ibaka is now the best player for the magic

not ideal

vooch is good!

good yes he is perhaps as good as serge ibaka and they're the best dudes on the team im just saying Orlando's master stroke must still be in the offing

Well Gordon is gonna be a stud too. Wonder if they'll slot him in at the three now. Think he did better at the PF position tho

i have no idea what to make of that ibaka deal. just two years ago, ibaka was the third part of their core. adams improved play + acquiring kanter + injuries put him on a v minor slide.

super mario can be the three now!

also they still have fournier until they don't

"If KD goes to the New York Knicks I am willing to lift the curse" wow!! "The BasedGod" just told me to say this!!! Wow!! - Lil B

i think lil B is a bad person

am i the only one that doesn't mind the magic trade for the magic and doesn't really get it for okc? oladipo shot 44/34 last year and is now playing entirely off the ball? like somehow the thunder just got worse at shooting i don't get how that was possible.

the floor spacing in these scenarios where oladipo is playing with roberson as a small ball 4 with either kanter or adams is making my head hurt

one wld think dipos already not terrible %s wld be better w open looks on the thunder like 46/37% seems extremely obtainable particularly considering the magic were one of the worst teams for generating open looks, also not sure why u wld worry abt some rando smallball lineup, adams, kanter, kd, dipo, russ is extremely reasonable, but obvs his best skill is defense hell really help by being able to guard the opponents best backcourt player, great pickup for okc imho tho i do think they kinda shit the bed by misusing ibaka

yeah maybe idk i guess i've never been a huge oladipo fan. i don't think backcourt defense was really at the forefront of okc's problems.

agree dipo should get better shots, i also just think replacing some waiters/roberson minutes with dipo minutes is a really nice upgrade.

i guess they freed up some money too once assuming they waive ersan and let waiters walk but i just thought the flexibility they found with the ibaka/kanter/adams trio during the playoffs seemed really good for them and i'm not sure adding oladipo really makes up for that but we'll see who they sign as well
