2017 NBA OFFSEASON

i cld see them doing it next year but after that they have to blow it up

hard to blow it up 1 year after they have to sign a bunch of players. its now or in several years

well they have to sign kd and steph no matter what then fill then fill the roster out w scrubs/discounts anyway so i think trading klay and or dray is kinda the same this year or next

didn't iggy say they have all this shit figured out already

also, look, dray is not going anywhere unless he somehow falls off a cliff

didn't iggy say they have all this shit figured out already

if the dubs front office doesn't already have a plan, they aren't earning their pay. whether the plan keeps steph, kd, dray & klay together is the real question.

every team has a plan!

light years, jordan

yeah iggy eluded to it. I think they worked it out at the hamptons. this team will be together for two more seasons for sure then it's who knows.

imo chris paul should join the warriors...............

otm, he's been playing second fiddle to Curry for years now, would fit right in as his backup

maybe lavar will back off a bit now

Per source, the #Lakers would pass on Lonzo Ball if #nbadraft was today. Team isn't convinced he's a star and remains concerned about LaVar.

they're gonna take him

it's usually a pretty dumb idea to pick a fight w/ destiny

classic mistake

Watching LaVar seeing his son getting drafted by the Sixers is the joy we deserve in 2017.

no, it must be the kings

yeah even better.

from a basketball perspective, from a california perspective, from a branding perspective, it must happen

lonzo ball to the kings? I think we could all get behind that.

imo nothing says big baller like the very capital of the great state of california

He'll go to Minnesota at 7 and everyone will laugh.

had a discussion last night w/ an otherwise pretty savvy blazer fan. dude was pushing the idea that if portland moved harkless, vonleh, whatever cap filler, all 3 firsts we have this year plus next year's first and got carmelo anthony in return "we'd probably be the best team in nba history" and i had to really hold myself back in explaining to him that no, that is not the case and also that would be actually insane.

You should have ignored all the insanity there and just told him the Stepien rule prevents that trade

But otherwise lol and what is it about melo that makes people go kind of insane. That trade instantly transforms the Knicks into Denver of the last few years (promising young team with bounty of picks) and the blazers into the Knicks of next year (trash fire)

yes

The car Derek Fisher was driving before he was arrested on suspicion of DUI last weekend was registered to former teammate Matt Barnes, according to a report from TMZ.

Fisher was driving on a Los Angeles freeway with his current girlfriend—and Barnes’s former wife—Gloria Govan at 3 a.m. on Sunday morning when he drifted off the road and flipped the 2015 Cadillac Escalade onto its roof. Though the car was totaled, neither he nor Govan were injured, and he was arrested for driving under the influence.

Now, TMZ reports that the Escalade is registered to Barnes. He reportedly gifted it to Govan specifically for the purpose of driving around the pair’s two children. They broke up in 2014—clearing the way for Govan and Fisher to begin dating and for Barnes to drive nearly 100 miles for the sole purpose of fighting Fisher for doing so in October 2015—but their divorce was not final until December 2016.

Barnes is currently in the NBA Finals with the Golden State Warriors. Fisher has not been in the NBA since being fired as head coach of the New York Knicks in February 2016.

wow

matt barnes for real might murder him

both of them are lucky that barnes is still in the playoffs.

yes i would say fisher being murdered by matt barnes would (will?) be the least surprising story of the offseason

huge premium on outside shooting since its worth 100% more than inside as opposed to 50%. gotta have a big who can shoot 3s and defend interior (dray the most obv, tho KAT or ant davis could be that dude in 3 years, too).

honestly as long as youve got guys who can shoot ~40% from the outside, there is no point in trying to shoot 1's unless it's a dunk
