2017 NBA OFFSEASON

tatum is a really really advanced scorer

yeah its kinda crazy hes 19

can tatum play the 4 or is he gonna be stuck behind gordon hayward now for 3 years

i think both of them can play the 4

he's long, should be able to play some 4. tho i don't think the celtics really feel that the 2-3-4 are things

yeah i feel like hayward, tatum, crowder and brown will all see time at the 4 in small ball lineups for them

kinda feel bad for pat mccaw having to play in summer league.he played in the finals! he scored 18 points in a conference finals game!

Jordan Bell is going to block all of the shots

Mccaw is gonna be a nice player for a long time.

CHRIS: wait so what you're telling me is there's a third round to the playoffs?
POP: yes and a fourth too
JAMES and PAUL: [in unison] WHAT?! https://t.co/4CXWs0dm0s

Fultz down w ankle injury was assisted off the court couldn't put pressure on in. 6ers are cursed.

That was sad to see.

stepped on a guy on take off and rolled it. shouldn't be bad but u never know w this team.

They're bringing a wheelchair for fultz. Maybe they'll hold him out for the whole season with an ankle sprain. Gotta focus on 2025.

haha otm

wow demarre really fell tf off

Toronto has traded DeMarre Carroll, a future first-round and second-round pick to Brooklyn for Justin Hamilton, league sources tell ESPN.

if brooklyn's willing to be a parking garage for some shit contracts i've got a few wings to sell them

lowe has been saying for a few weeks now that the raptors have furiously been trying to dump demarre's salary but i didn't know they were "trade a first round pick" desperate

and a second!

I hope markelle fultz can walk again after this ankle sprain

Wolves sign Jamal Crawford. 9m, 2years.

Um Brooklyn has been doing an excellent job charging picks for salary dumps from pseudo contenders that got boned by the cap crash, I am impressed

They've also been winding up with some interesting players to try out for a team in exactly their sort of terrible position- obv deangelo is the big bet but Carroll is a good gamble, if he's solid fine and if he really can't play anymore they got plenty for their troubles and they were gonna suck regardless

Btw until bise pointed it out I somehow had missed that their gm Sean marks was the same spurs big Sean marks, dope

sean marks has been pitch perfect w/ the moves since he took over

too bad sean marks is working in such a deep hole that few other people will notice his excellent shoveling technique until years from now

i think people are noticing

yes. but they are few.

if he turns around the nets and wrests control of new yorks heart from the knicks he will be worshiped as a god

prob just get fired in like two years tho

when do the nets get to keep their 1st rd pick

Wolves sign Jamal Crawford. 9m, 2years.

minny is officially the number 4 team in the west

crawford is bad at basketball but he can shoot at least

Hes cooked. Has an ok shooting game every 5-6 games, is a sieve on D and can't get to the line any more.

I'm down with anointing minny as "officially the number 4 team in the west", but only from now until they play their first exhibition game, ok?

i didnt say it was bc he was still good! its bc he was on the clippers for a long time who were a perpetual 4 seed (give or take a slot) so he holds the ceremonial role of being on that kind of a team

Lol ok

warriors... spurs... rockets... okc... wolves could be the fifth best team

yeah wolves look like the 5th seed. clippers, nuggets...jazz, pellies, blazers, grizzlies competing for the bottom 3 seeds?

wolves could be better than okc or worse than all those teams you listed i have no idea

nobody's gonna talk about IT putting his ass on the cover of ESPN magazine huh

Another year of believing in the timberwolves. Count me out.

i think they could easily miss the offs theres more than 8 teams that look like they should be good enough

they got vets now

cant miss the playoffs with vet's

xxp i don't feel like the espn mag body issue has been a thing for years

Get at me when Lowry gets on there w dat ass of his

fun fact: the current celtics player who has been on the team the longest is marcus smart

crazy

there's some even crazier ones, like myles turner for the pacers
