2018 NBA OFFSEASON

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

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

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

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.

wonder how much his relationship with nic batum influenced this move

the hornets french retirement community

he mentioned batum, former spurs assistant/current hornets coach borrego, and mj (his idol) as motivations. on top of the money and the role, that is.

I think players who sign with a new team understand that publically stating the reasons for your move does not require you to reveal what your real reasons were, but does require you to flatter the fans that theirs is a wonderful team that you will be thrilled to play for.

players like hanging out with friends and having a good time

After being “disappointed” in the Bulls, Bulls restricted free agent Zach LaVine tells @TheUndefeated he has signed a four-year, $78 million contract with the Kings.

THE KINGS

bulls would be smart to let him go

Such a kings type of player

If he was disappointed in the Bulls just wait till he gets to Sacramento.

its good the kings are around to scoop up disappointed guys

Some one on Bulls twitter says to let him go to free up cap space for 2019 so we can watch all the free agents sign somewhere else other than Chicago.

I say match it. It’s overpaying, but not obscenely so. Can always trade later.

i wld not be confident in being able to trade later if i were the bulls

Tough but fair

I just hate when bulls fans get hung up on upcoming free agents, we have to keep cap space to sign Butler back! Then Kyrie!We’ll get Klay! Then Anthony Davis, they’ll all come here! Ain’t going to happen.

i would be personally driving lavine to the airport at that number.

you're right that free agents aren't giving chicago a second glance right now, but signing contracts like that assure that they would remain that way for many years.

He didn’t look great after coming back from the Acl
