2018 NBA OFFSEASON

still not sure if blake griffin is actually on the pistons, seems like a hoax

As for the NBA coaching front: Toronto has the final open vacancy -- Raptors assistant Nick Nurse and Spurs assistant Ettore Messina are widely regarded in league coaching circles as the two top contenders

if they hire nick nurse a fun things for the players if they are tired and want to be subbed out wld be to just yell NURSE!

Brett Brown back at the mics.

lol is that gary payton at the bottom and if so why isn't he jumping WHAT DOES IT MEAN

barkley's so tiny.

in Boris Diaw news: he's joined the French Navy!

apparently he's been training with them for a few summers, as the following video shows

https://youtu.be/LL5nwkz1TDE

now he'll be in the "citizen reserves", meaning he won't be deployed in case of war, but is rather a link between the military & civilians. But still, he got his official sailor's cap already! (still looking for a pic of that)

Nobody seriously considered Becky Hammon. Lame.

Lowe pod with Kerr was awesome

fuuuuuuuuuuuck

ah yes, the lakers, those lovable scrappy underdogs always getting underestimated.

congratulations to the eastern conference

my hope is that it is a rage tweet bc lebron said nah

looking at the lakers' cap sitch, they could sign two superstars outright as FAs, but they'd need to trade out deng+ball+ingram to bring in a third.

sign bron + pg, trade ingram+deng+? for kawhi

have to think something like that is the general shape bron is looking for in LA, unless hes just given up on chasing rings and wants to concentrate on wakeboarding or whatever

otherwise houston prob makes more sense from a basketball success perspective

spurs too

my position still is spurs aint trading kawhi, woj's alarmism aside

its lol unverified twitter but rumor is pop and duncan and kawhi are all in nyc right now.

dave n busters times sq

duncan: i brought my cargo shorts with the extra large pockets
kawhi: they use little plastic cards now, you wont need to hold a bunch of tokens and tickets
duncan: the pockets are for all the prizes im gonna win
kawhi: *galaxy brain*

jeanie buss and bron in NY too

yeah but she cant talk to bron (theoretically)

part of the free agent process shd be everyone goes to new york and does shady shit and backstabs each other

im ok w this as long as bron doesnt go to LA (worst case scenario imo)

i think it wld be funny im a nihilist now who has given up all hope of ever seeing justice

More from Porter camp: "After being shut down to do strengthening/core stabilization work for his first 4 weeks in Chicago, and then being ramped up as hard as he was the last 3 weeks, Michael developed some inflammation that wrapped around his nerve and caused massive spasms."

michael porter cld sliide bigtime from being in the #1 pick convo coming out of high school, some team might luck out he cld be a really good nba player

that level of shooting in someone who cld play center in todays nba is prob unprecedented

back problems tho

yeah i mean thats the reason hes dropping, be interesting to see where it makes sense for teams to stop caring abt that downside risk

...dubs got Looney with 30th pick in 2015 because of injury history. Had a 2nd surgery after being drafted. He didn't do much for 2 years & then became pretty helpful piece esp in the Pelicans & Rox series.

not that porter will fall that far.

looney is pretty bad tho

he's basically the harden stopper bro

gotta stop harden

He’s the harden softener

i dont support stopping harden, let harden flourish

they tried to let him hoist he just decided to be historically bad at hoisting at the wrong time

he missed 500 3s in a row iirc

looney is useful, 3rd center in the right matchup useful anyway. finding a useful player that late in the draft that can even start in the hardest series theyve had to play isnt too bad.

im sorry but i just cant support players who cant catch a basketball, i have standards

i understand

role player hollafame - nominations

ILH bat signal to this thread^^

watching bulls/jazz '98 game 6 on espn2. really was epic huh.

Kawhi Leonard wants out from the San Antonio Spurs, league sources tell Yahoo.

uh oh

Shhhh - don't tell m bison

SHAMS!

kawhi needs a new set of friends more than he needs a new team
