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

there was a moment during the finals early when i thought ok horford might be gone and teague is probably gone so let's blow it up and maybe we could get love and some assets for millsap (who basically only has one year left btw iirc), thinking lebron would be pissed and desperate enough for us to fleece cleveland somehow. love could still get dealt but the incentives at work in cleveland now are totally different. also thinking about how newish ownership might want to make not the smartest long term moves just to stay a playoff team, it occurs to me that coaches w/ personnel control have that kind of motivation in play also. i forget what podcast it was pointed out on but: coaches hate to lose, hate to coach losing teams. also those wins and losses go on their resume.

you were just expressing your actual priorities of course

Result: You're headed to the Brooklyn Nets!

fml

what do you do to get the nets - i don't care about the weather, i need a diverse city, i need the ball, and i need all the money?

idk i said i was into food carts and cold weather and don't care about stats

i got the mavs lol

I got the timberwolves!

idk i said i was into food carts and cold weather and don't care about stats

I chose these things except the cold weather, I think it's because we don't care about stats (such as WINNING) that have led us to the Nets.

maybe it's just not caring

1 all abt the rings
2 want to get paid
3 a deep sense of meaninglessness at the core of yr being

i got the blazers im gonna be their new PF

we welcome u w/ open arms

u guys should check out this website buzzfeed

lol woj in his domain, readying the explosive tweets

woj claims Whiteside is leaning mavs. feels like the setup to dj 2.0

also someone is going to massively overpay chandler parsons in the coming days

could be the grizz of all places re: parsons, which actually kinda might work for them

re: whiteside I think cuban puts him in a fuckin leadlined box (like the one he sealed cyberdust in) until July 8 once he gets an agreement in principle

lots of ppl saying Whiteside going to sign with whoever the first team is to put a 100m contract in front of him. if miami doesn't do this before dallas or the Lakers he's prob gone

apparently it's down to portland, dallas, and miami. go mavs.

^otm

haaaaa mavs will get him i think

he's really good but such a gamble

such a mavsy move

the agents are free

Sources: Clippers officials met with Austin Rivers Thursday in Orlando, and Rivers is expected to talk with Knicks, possibly Portland Friday

RIP fun blazers

I do not think the Grizzlies should pay Conley 150 million over 5 years

i won't allow myself the luxury of hope, but Whiteside would be a good addition (longest shot, Conley as well, would be a fun team)

xp pass on conley, trade gasol and start building a future

This Bobby guy on the yahoo free agency thing is saying dumb things

zach lowe: Teams that have inquired with Kent Bazemore's agent since midnight under impression it might take $19M-$20M per year to sign him.

brave new world

jfc

woj Chandler Parsons is finalizing a three-year, $46 million offer sheet with Dallas, league source tells Yahoo Sports.

surprisingly reasonable

what how thats crazy xxp

woj saying 5/126 to stay w wiz

128

Teams will do all this nonsense and then a few weeks later good players will sign for 3 million

really skeptical that the mavs or grizz can buy their way back into contention at this point

Sacramento making a run at waiters. I'm excited

haha

the lakers, who were iirc going to sign every marquee free agent this summer, are turning all their attention on... mozgov

i got golden state in the espn quiz. excited for me and my family.

i like beal but that contract has some real eric gordon potential
