2018 NBA OFFSEASON

i was hoping a night’s sleep would help me figure out why the hawks acquired jeremy lin but nope.

yeah hes gonna be real tough to deal with once he reaches his full grown strength like what do u do when he gives u a lil bump with his shoulder then pulls up

I am investing everything in tatum futures, I’m convinced he’s going to be the best player in the east soon depending on how Giannis evolves. His body now seems analogous to when lebron came in the league- you can just see the outline of the ideal structure for the state of the game in a couple years. I’m still in awe of how lebron can physically do literally anything on the court save maybe spot up shoot threes as well as curry

I’m also just in awe of the amount of straight up talent in a guy as big as embiid it’s baffling how he is even possible

lot of awe going on here in hibachi town lol

guys I think we should note that summer 2018 is when the prophecy finally came to pass, the nuggs traded both faried and chander

amen

he gone

#Twolves All-Star Jimmy Butler has officially turned down the Wolves' 4-year, 10M range extension offer, per owner Glen Taylor. Full interview posting soon, which includes stuff on KAT extension talks, Thibs, filling out the roster, and #LosLynx.

gonna be wild when jimmy, kyrie and kd join the knicks in a year.

will be fascinating to see how the lebron sized vacuum in the east gets filled

jabari going to the bulls prob

when is kawhi getting traded :///////////

february

the pits

Jabari 2/40 year two team option.

... To the bulls

good luck everyone.

i guess the bulls don’t wanna tie up their cap space but i don’t really see the upside here for them. if he turns into the player ppl thought when he was drafted then they’re either gonna have to give him $100m+ or let him walk

this feels like the wade thing where a big name guy from chicago was hanging around unsigned and so the bulls were just like “fuck it”

otm

Yah

thats nice

it's jerry's money, but woof

summer body watch

wow your bf slo mo leaves and you completely forget about him is nothing sacred

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pwTgkj3Lxw

the warriors have a 5 all-star lineup, kawhi is leaving, pop is almost 70, tony parker plays in another city, zach lavine and jabari parker are getting paid a small nation's gdp to be terrible, the celtics are about to create a team with the least amount of height variation in nba history, gambling is legal, adam silver called my mom a bitch on the elevator, and rajon rondo is a laker with lebron, lance, and lavar

ain't nothing sacred in the league anymore, my guy

Sources: Kawhi Leonard considers participating in USA Basketball camp

...

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich will lead the camp in his role as national team coach.

interesting

So far, the Sixers have held out three players -- Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons and Markelle Fultz -- in talks. Boston hasn't included five players, including Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Kyrie Irving, Gordon Hayward and Al Horford. The Celtics and Sixers have offered pick-heavy packages that haven't moved the Spurs, league sources said.

lol what xp

just keeps getting weirder and weirder

Kawhi just wants to lay to rest the rumors that his injury wasn't faked.

windhorst and lowe saying today they think the raptors are the frontrunners now bcuz of what the celtics and sixers are apparently unwilling to trade

hmmm...makes a lot of sense to try to take advantage of the void lebron left. what are their offers?

windy said og had to be in the deal. so derozan, og, one other of their young guys, and a pick?

would be cool to see if pop could get anything more out of derozan

dang it's actually hard to make the salaries work on this

unless i'm missing something the spurs don't have good filler salaries to send out. they need about $10M on top of kawhi to take back derozan, og, and siakam.

the kings traded for ben mclemore lol... i wonder if he'll just abscond to europe

X-post

Send out Patty Mills

yeah...if i’m the raptors i’m not thrilled by that

if you're the spurs do you really want derozan back? i think you could make arguments for either side

if they got back derozan and OG and kept LMA they could prob fight for a 4th or 5th seed which is a pretty good option if you don't want to tear it down. but maybe you do wanna tear it down?

i am assuming they want to be respectable for pop’s last couple years.

the kings traded for ben mclemore lol... i wonder if he'll just abscond to europe

San Antonio and Toronto are engaged in serious talks on a trade centered on Kawhi Leonard and DeMar DeRozan, league sources tell Yahoo.
