2017 NBA OFFSEASON

man remember when the wizards got slaughtered by kelly olynyk in a game 7

that feels like so long ago now

gotta think based on the trade they made that they arent really interested in ball

look how appalled danny is here at the red flags exhibited by this opposing player

yeah they would have just taken fultz if they actually wanted a guard

kelly o dominating a game 7 was sick hope he realizes it dawns on him he can do that sort of thing more often and has the chance to wherever he ends up

I was impressed by mccaw in the offs, dude played like he belonged

Seemed like he could easily slot into a patty mills type role- strong bench guy for a contender who can mix in with starters any time

Boston Celtics‏
@celtics
Danny Ainge says that he believes the player he will select at No. 3 is quite possibly the player he would have selected at No. 1.

Meet Danny Ainge, contrarian.

The Cavaliers, per league sources, have been working today on assembling multi-team trade scenarios to try to acquire Chicago's Jimmy Butler

— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) June 19, 2017

seems like cleve doesnt have the pieces to get this done

yea not seeing it

would be rad to have butler obv but it ain't happeninf

BREAKING: the cavaliers, per league source, have traded LeBron James to the Bulls for Jimmy Butler,

ah ok that makes sense actually

unless they cld movie kyrie for butler and a point guard... like isaiah thomas

hmm that person is a point guard

celtics get kyrie and love bulls get all the celtics draft picks cavs get isaiah and butler

wld be cool to get the cavs a functioning 2 guard too

cavs also get wade lol im sure this is all super impossible re the cap and so forth but its good imo

also somewhere in this process lebron accidentally gets traded to the denver nuggets

kevin durant is playing baseball in japan??

he always was

wow

he got his ring on the 1year contract, now he can move on to his next pursuit

The Cavs and general manager David Griffin will part ways according to sources

motherfucker

eh fuck dan gilbert

seemed like the writing was on the wall there

yea. sucks, griffin was a good gm imo

griffin is interesting. find it hard to completely evaluate his abilities given that lebron fell in his lap. being the GM of a lebron team is a specifically unique job in a lot of ways... for instance we have basically zero idea if griffin can draft and develop young talent.

his trade history is not bad. the mozgov trade didn't kill them, and he bet on JR when his value was in the toilet, which was obv a bet that paid off big. otoh, giving shumper that contract doesn't look pretty, and he got strongarmed in the tristan thompson negotiations (but again maybe that was a specific lebron thing). channing frye was a p good trade too.

ultimately he seems like a decent to pretty good GM who will get treated like one of the best in the NBA cuz lebron turned in some of the most superhuman performances of all time to win them a title.

Sources: As David Griffin departs as Cavs -- "Just couldn't agree on future," source says - Chauncey Billups expected to emerge as candidate

love it when chauncey billups emerges

j0 otm re griff.

No 2 ways about it: Dan Gilbert screwed over David Griffin. Could have let him go to ATL, ORL, or MIL if he wouldn't pay him. Now too late.

— Nate Duncan (@NateDuncanNBA) June 19, 2017

no 2 ways about it, dan gilbert is a dick

there are two ways about it one way is dan gilbert is a dick the other is hes a buffoon

he's both. he's versatile.

drama

Per source familiar w/ breakdown, Griffin removed himself from consideration when it became clear his vision for CLE didn't match Gilbert's

— Dave McMenamin (@mcten) June 19, 2017

gilbert's vision is the banana boat

[praying for further drama]

i just want more trades than last year's meager crop

dan gilbert got rich off other people's mortgages of course he's a snake

ah yes thats the stuff

Dan Gilbert didn't consult with LeBron James prior to parting with David Griffin, sources said. James had advocated for Griffin extension

— Brian Windhorst (@WindhorstESPN) June 20, 2017

Source: LeBron is "disappointed" at Griffin's departure, as well as the timing, & "concerned" abt what this portends for Cavs going forward.

— Howard Beck (@HowardBeck) June 20, 2017

lol

yesss

maybe the cavs know lebron is leaving and are planning for the future...........

omg life is good

pump the drama into my veins baby

banana boat clippers will happen in 2018
