2017 NBA OFFSEASON

Memphis and Portland will fall out

Portland will soar on the wings of a magical nurkic.

Something fishy going on with all this Cleveland GM drama. Who chooses to hire a guy with no front-office experience? Who strings along said offer for a week before turning it down? Weird.

Lebron is out next year, that's whatsup

lebron should just go back to miami imo

dan gilbert is a dumb asshole basically

easiest assumption to make

it's turned out to be a pretty bad offseason for the nuggs to decide to accelerate their timeline but i do really like that millsap contract. jokic + another high IQ big was always a great plan.

who's their point guard this season though

apparently going after g hill.

they didn't have to get rid of anyone tho xp, they can still develop

they should prob just go for a cheaper vet... harris and murray are a pretty good start

easiest assumption to make

and it accords with all the known facts

Ultimately none of this matters. I could be the GM of the Cavs and they'd still make the NBA Finals next year.

multiple xposts

But, if I were the Cavs GM they would not make the NBA Finals next year. I'd see to it.

right, which is why i'm psyched it's a 2 year deal. allows us to be a playoff team, get the young guys some
meaningful minutes, and after year 2 if millsap isn't the same guy anymore they can just pivot and acquire a better player (draymond)

i'm really excited about this season!!!

going to be really sad if this means we lose gallo tho. can't we just get rid of plumlee and miller?

A Celtics fan asked Yabusele if they would get Hayward and he said, "I think we'll get him," so it's over, guys. https://t.co/aMqvOWCyqs

go nugs! good stuff!

you know what they say about the nuggets

durant just signed for 2/53 LOL

gl rest of the league

fuck that, hes too young to be ring chasing

so KD gave up $9 mil per year? lol

KD appeared to greatly enjoy his ring and prob wants to write "Z-time Champ" inside his shoes.

ugh kd why

my understanding was he could have taken 31m/year without disrupting the roster situation, anything under that is just money back into the ownerships pockets

wonder what the players union thinks of this

We all know that Kevin Durant is emo.

"KD is bad for saving billionaires money" is already a prevalent take!

wow did not know kd was republican smh

Blegh

its the best take imo

K D !

Heh forgot this was my dn for like two years

I hate the hot takes around how much players choose to sign for

Like I'm both totally supportive of kd saying I'll take this reasonably healthy amount of millions that is somewhat below the maximum so we can keep two guys who just helped win us a championship, and also I'll keep the contract short so I can get mine later too

I mean I'm pretty sure Durant had all the agency here

I'm also 100% supportive of lebron getting only the max until his legs fall off because fuck salary caps, what other industry says you can only be paid some arbitrary maximum

(I also totally understand that salary caps are meant to create competitive balance and keep dumber owners from screwing themselves)

Wow Bam Adebayo looked GREAT

You're talking summer league, right?

Yes that's what I'm talking, I'm sorry you don't like my posts

I don't have cable channels, so I can't see what you're seeing. That's why I asked. Not sure where the 'don't like' comes in.

im watching fultz v tatum

so far jaylen brown just looks unfair

I thought Fultz's jumper looked a little hitchy

Tatum and Brown both looked good enough that the Hayward acquisition started to seem weird

yeah, i bet hayward goes back to utah and i ddon;t think boston should feel that bad

i hope they get hayward hes good

fultz seems to be doing that thing he did in college where he takes difficult shots like everything is a spin crossover floater

he shd be able to get easy shots

tweets today said the jazz made a big impression, i.e. he was all set to leave and they had a good showing in the meeting.

gallo to clippers rumors, that will create a great frontcourt for 40 games/year
