2017 NBA OFFSEASON

this is nuts

phil is mad someone stop him

no one stop him

yeah actually i am fine w/ this and encourage it entirely i am just trying to say the man has lost it

guys w huge egos like that when it goes it goes

fast

yeah i could see him kinda knowing he's fucked up and has tarnished the image and so the gambles become wilder and wilder in an attempt to recoup the loss, but he's digging deeper obv

hes never been able to tolerate any slight but now that he cant push the right buttons to retaliate hes just fucking himself over

also he doesn't seem to know what an nba executive actually does

phil brings up that exit interview first thing

Here are Phil's full comments regarding the Porzingis trade rumors. Doesn't sound too good. pic.twitter.com/aEVIlT0vtB

Last season, Porzingis avg more PPG than Aldridge, more Blks than DeAndre, shot better from 3 than JR Smith, more dunks than Blake. He's 21.

zinger is an elite youngster this is true madness

if im a knicks fan and phil trades zinger likely the best prospect theyve had my whole life depending on my age to the celtics the team thats been kicking the knicks ass my whole life ive got no choice but to conclude god put the knicks on earth to punish me

phil jackson is not a very intelligent person is he

hes not as smart as he thinks he is at least

oh yeah, that's a given.

scrolling through twitter search for porzingis and literally everyone thinks this is fn insane lol

Phil Jackson on Kristaps: "As much as we love this guy, we have to do what's best for the club."

Celtics should just burn every asset for porzingis and butler imo.

Nets pick, lakers/kings pick, number 3 pick, brown, crowder, Bradley,

Can't imagine Hayward doesn't sign with them if they got butler and porzingis

they prob wld, tho theyd try to hold on to brown xp

if i were the zinger id be calling phil up telling him to fuck himself and daring him to trade me

this off season is what i've been waiting for my whole life

DRAMA

i cant stop thinking of this stupid picture but its true

sixers have sold out their season tickets for next year already apparently

so much for intentional tanking ruining the team's reputation

lol wow hope people like watching clueless young players

i wonder how much they went for

season tickets to guarantee a seat when the cavs roll in except thats a game bron rests for

Teams have been informed the NBA expects the salary cap to go down from latest projections, per league source. $99 million the new number.

warriors/cavs smashed the playoffs so hard that there was less revenue

that seems significant

evan turner and allen crabbe now 1/3 of the blazers cap

lol

Sources: Cavs offer Chauncey Billups five-year deal to run front office. He has yet to accept. https://t.co/Vuc2vj4pfB

chauncey should so ittttt bron is going to make all the important decisions, 5 year deal, do ittttt

sucks about his boss being Gilbert

ppl on twitter r saying that csn chicago is reporting that the bulls offered butler to the celtics for the #3 and the celtics said no, but then other ppl on twitter are saying csn chicago is reporting the celtics offered the #3 for butler and chicago said no, in conclusion ppl r bad at watching tv

ah ok

The Bulls were rebuffed on an offer to the Celtics for the third pick straight-up, but bringing the Cavaliers to the table could increase the quality of offers for Butler, who would be eligible for a deal in the $40 million range annually if he makes another All-NBA team next season.

that seems unrealistic to me

unless its cause theyre tryin to get the zinger

the #3 seems like a laughable lowball offer for butler

right

The NBA notified teams in a memo Wednesday that the projected salary cap will come in at $99 million, about $2 million less than estimates in April.

In addition, the luxury tax has been lowered from $121 million to a projection of $119 million.

This will squeeze some teams looking to create space to sign free agents when the negotiating period begins July 1.

The drop was caused by the number of playoff games being fewer than expected, as the recent postseason was dominated by lopsided series that were shorter than anticipated.

The salary cap is still increasing by about $5 million from last season, but it isn't growing as much as previously expected. At one point, the NBA forecast this season's cap to go as high as $108 million.

The league is still undergoing massive growth, driven by new television revenues. Between 2010 and 2015, the cap increased from $58 million to $63 million. It has grown by $36 million over the course of the past three years.

lol finally hard proof that the dubs are bad for the league
