2018 NBA OFFSEASON

houston needs to come the fuck on and pay capela.

they just lost luc too

@wojespn: Free agent forward Luc Mbah A Moute has agreed to a one-year deal with the Clippers, league source tells ESPN.

ballmer boyz

"Houston is detemined to sign Carmelo Anthony once he becomes free in OKC, sources tell ESPN."

d'antoni can't catch a break

rockets offseason is a disaster thus far

last year was their shot imo

gsw gonna cruise next year

still thinking about 'the rockets went ice cold and it killed them'

it's such a poetic phrase

im interested to see how harden comes out, he's been playing for that mvp trophy for four straight seasons wonder if he'll chill a little now that he got it

harden will put up like 29/6/8 like always

damn! if the rockets push capela out the door because they are panting after signing melo, I will be aghast. but since they are in the western conference, I suppose I can't complain if they shoot themselves in the foot. it would clear a bit more space near the top that my team could compete to fill.

capella is restricted so he'll be back no matter what. but he could play on the qualifying offer and be pouty about it

some team could construct the offer sheet in a way that could severely fuck with them tho

some team should. capela is worth poaching, if the rox don't feel like paying him

too bad sacramento has drafted so many big men, this would be the perfect guy to throw a big offer sheet at.

atlanta could, right? theyve got cap space

the nets maybe?

yeah that'd be good too

I don't think the Nets have space since Dwight's buyout is sitting on it like a dead log.

He'd be a good fit in Atlanta.

someone has got to take a stab at him

totally, houston will be significantly worse without him.

john collins is gonna have a big year. looking forward to him and taurean jumping in to bigger roles

i'm guessing neither the hawks nor nets think they're far enough along in their rebuild to consider throwing a big offer at capela though if i were them i'd certainly stop and think about it for 10 minutes. he's a really good player.

and if i'm capela i'd seriously consider playing on the qualifying offer if the rockets won't get in the area of $20M a year.

gsw gonna cruise next year

the celtics will win

plucky young celtics: we got through the eastern conference, gang! all that's left in front of us are the mighty warriors, but i know we can do it if we just--

warriors: *are literally shooting fire from their hands and eating ill-behaved tech mavens' children as a pre-game snack*

celtics as constructed are exactly the type of team that can beat the warriors, which will seem obvious in retrospect

i mean the rockets werent event the right type of team and weirdly never quite gelled and prob wldve beat them if not for a bad cp3 hammy

rockets shutting down the warriors offense for three straight games i feel like shdve been noteworthy but everyone just moved on from that

the warriors "figured something out" iirc

figured out how to wear out a team down to a six man rotation in the second half

Figured out Chris Paul can’t play 10 games without breaking down

CP3 the challenger o ring

rockets would have won if they didn't put on the worst 3pt shooting performance of the era

tbf they were also taking the worst shots ever

many of them were open

they had good shots in that game

hmm no u guys

after like 15-20 misses they started getting a lil tilted and rushed some

it was a classic choke job... a sight to behold

Really quite beautiful if you think about it

celtics as constructed are exactly the type of team that can beat the warriors, which will seem obvious in retrospect

One creaky old in cp3 is enough of a gamble but Morey just gotta overreach and get Carmelo too, such an obvious disaster in the making

I assume the this is gonna be fun cover has already been shopped

if they can get melo for basically what luc mbah signed for i think that swap could end up working out for them

2018 melo is not this is gonna be fun worthy

forgive the reddit link but this is a great post
