2018 NBA OFFSEASON

I don’t hate the clippers roster so far

There’s 1-3 giant all star shaped holes in it but it’s not bad for a collection of solid guys and role players

good one for the jazz

Dwight Howard has finalized a buyout with the Brooklyn Nets and will sign a 1-year deal for the tax MLE with the Washington Wizards once he clears waivers, league sources tell The Athletic.

godspeed

and the wiz just signed jeff green to a one year as well.

wall and dwight will get along well

wall, austin rivers, and dwight howard together at last

dwight will never make a good decision, god bless him

On Lowe's pod from today, Kawakami said that the Warriors collectively said no to adding Dwight Howard to their locker room.

feel like maybe the wiz is the true spiritual home dwight has been seeking all these years

imagining dwight doing his schtick to a completely despondent lockerroom until someone kills him or themselves

could def see this wiz roster in a cultish mass suicide situation

markieff and wave papi were both in the top ten for techs last year. they added dwight who was #1

(KD, Dray and DMC all in the top 15)

The Spurs are reportedly asking for Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, Kyle Kuzma, two first-round picks and two pick swaps in exchange for Kawhi Leonard https://t.co/H1UuRTNDQX pic.twitter.com/GJSkWrNNY4

ha nice

fair.

the alternating picks and pick swaps clearly inspired by ainges fleecing of brooklyn

hah that was my first thought

the wizards have now added austin rivers, jeff green, and dwight. i guess if you're going to just go full heel it's a good group.

those guys are more just lame tho lol

otm, i considered and rejected "villain"

jeff green seems like a great dude and good teammate, he's just not assertive enough. austin def a heel tho

wonder what wld be the at all reasonable deal that the spurs and lakers cld agree on, ingram kuz a 1st and a swap?

2 1sts maybe

except now kawhi doesnt even want to play w lebron lol

i'd take ingram kuz 2 firsts as the spurs

kawhi not making a great case that hes not a headcase rn

also whos bidding against the lakers we all know the celtics arent gonna give anything near what the spurs are asking

yeah it's all a v weird heel turn

there has to be some factor we just don't know about none of it has made sense from the start

like maybe celtics do kyrie + the lesser of the sac/mem picks

i think kawhi just might be a headcase + has the wrong ppl in his ear

kawhi should get traded to the lakers for a bunch of stuff and then sit out another year in protest of who knows what, that to me would be ideal

i support this proposal

kawhi should do anything other than hamstring one of the only orgs that can build good non-superteam teams

man brow wore yr jersey in the allstar game bro

Report: Pelicans offered DeMarcus Cousins two-year contract near $40 million after injury

not even gonna try to fathom the mind of boogie

players are really out here scheming these days, often to their own detriment

the best recent self own has to be nerlens noel turning down $70m only to instantly fall out of the mavericks rotation thp

damn that is extremely uncool of boogie

who really knows but assuming that contract offer came during the season then boogie’s agent (or whoever) must’ve decided he could do better in free agency which... during the season ppl still seemed to be talking about the possibility of him getting a big contract so idk but clearly they gambled wrong

pr big roll of the dice when you just shredded your achilles

if he was really offered 2/40 after the injury that seems like an absolute no-brainer to take. it isn't breaking news that there wasn't a lot of cash and there were a lot of centers this summer.

yeah there’s not gonna be a single UFA who gets $20m this offseason on any contract longer than 1 year?

if he comes back healthy it’s possible he gets 3/60 or something next offseason and it all kinda works out but it’s also possible he never makes more than 10-12m per year for the rest of his career

yeah there’s not gonna be a single UFA who gets $20m this offseason on any contract longer than 1 year?

other than lebron and cp3

there's just an unbelievable number of 1-year contracts out there now. next summer is going to be a mess.

cp3 was a fake UFA but yeah

there's just an unbelievable number of 1-year contracts out there now. next summer is going to be a mess.

wasn't the salary cap supposed to keep exploding up and then it .... didnt do that
