2018 NBA OFFSEASON

the sitting out thing is against the cba, he would essentially lose his free agency that year i think

The Warriors might be insurmountable, but the Spurs were a playoff team without Kawhi last year and could’ve challenged the Warriors before Zara murdered Kawhi the year before. Kawhi in a contact year could be incredible.

My team hasn’t made the playoffs in years so I encourage everyone in striking distance to actual strike. Moreover, talking about assets is boring.

i think there's actually something to this. a healthy and reconciled kawhi with this spurs lineup would challenge for the 2 seed and then you just roll the dice and hope for injuries.

what if he's "injured" xp

Exactly. His “camp” hasn’t cleared him, probably for that reason

the spurs with kawhi would be right in the mix for the third seed, but are not challenging for the 2 seed

aw but hear me out! the last two years of healthy kawhi they were 67 and 61 win teams! in a hypothetical universe where they bygones became bygones and the water went under the bridge and kawhi's leg is fine, they could be right there again in terms of wins which would put them in the 2nd seed last year. and i think houston will take a step back this year and warriors may not give a shit in the regular season again.

i mean look this isnt going to happen anyway since water is on the bridge still and he's getting traded, but STILL

grayson allen and joe ingles are going to become alt-right darlings arent they

in 3 summer league games trae young:

12/52 fg and 3/24 tp

wack mamba stats

To be fair, he is tres young

touchrae

my mans derrick white was tearing up summer league this week, averaging 23 and 7 asts. after tearing up the d league last year, i think he's going to be a regular rotation player and might give the spurs enough reason to look at trading patty mills.

that young/doncic trade could end up the kinda thing that hawks fans never forget, shit like that can haunt a generation (cough greg oden cough)

lets hope not, hawks fans have suffered enough

my biggest fear for the hawks is that they saw trae taking crazy 3s with some big dick energy and they're like, oh thats definitely steph curry meanwhile he is bricking everything

lol i love grayson allen already. ingles and allen gonna wreak havoc on this league

yeah i think this is exactly what happened. their GM came from golden state!

i have faith that trey young will be good btw... pelton's pre-draft projections did like him. i think it's reasonable to see him as having lillard-esque potential and if he fulfills that hawks fans won't be too sad. but it's a reeeeal stretch to think he's gonna be better than doncic.

and generally i would be a little scared of the hawks GM just trying to transmute the warriors to atlanta. gives me rob hennigan vibes.

yeah that’s the thing...the warriors are not something you just recreate.

Worth a shot!

That’s exactly what’s happening and yeah I never thought I’d quit watching the nba but this might do it. That being said, it will take a few years for this to play out so I’ll be patient

oh god yeah allen totally will be
is that fucker a republican?

it occurred to me that the warriors will still play the cavaliers on christmas, right? that should be fun lol

They haven't released the schedules yet so maybe they can shift some things around. I expect Celtics v. Lakers for Christmas.

Warriors v rockets prob

pacers get o’quinn for a year. i don’t love the mcdermott contract but overall they’re had a great offseason.

yeah thats a solid pickup

tyreke evans made a lot of sense for them

so many 1 year deals this free agency.

Houston is interested

ew

He needs to go to the Lakers

fact

I know this probably won't happen but I think he'd be a great fit for the Nets.

no one's a bad fit for a blank canvas

i dont see houston being as good as they were this past season. apparently capella not happy with contract talks so far, talking about taking the qualifying offer then becoming an ufa next summer. wonder if some team with cap space is gonna lob a max at him and force houston to overpay

woww

Tony Parker has agreed to sign with Charlotte, league sources tell Yahoo.

i wonder if the spurs declined to offer him a contract as an olive branch to kawhi

spurs r falling apart man

he's not very good anymore

Manu may hang it up too. End of an era

Time to rebuild.

kinda expected this. spurs are heavy at PG or at least combo guard. mills, murray, derrick white, lonnie walker might play some point, manu can play it if he's coming back. parker just had his worst season since his rookie year and will only decline further, yet he wants to play a bigger role. spurs could really only promise him a glorified assistant coach/player role from here on out.

in other words, he's leaving because the spurs ARE rebuilding.

btw manu cannot retire

Manu can’t retire. I need there to be NBA players older than me. That means I still have a chance.
