2018 NBA OFFSEASON

haha

Cavs in 6

reading that this deal make it more likely that kevin love gets traded

also for all-star PF/C comparison's sake, lamarcus signed a 4 year $84M extension last summer

i've read some parallels to the blake contract which like, sure.....you can hope that there's a team operating with the same motivations as detroit was during the 2020 trade deadline. that is definitely something you can do.

uhhhhh

Danny Green unknowingly played with a torn groin last season, went undetected by Spurs medical staff https://t.co/MxvyzSA4tx pic.twitter.com/ACYYKalGIh

the unknown groin

xp if u listen to the podcast it's not that salacious. he had a strain and opted to play through it which probably led to the tear.

well that's not as much fun

spurs medical staff unable to detect the future

this is otm

Kevin Love deal with CLE feels so much like MIA after LeBron left in 2014. Heat gave Chris Bosh the max, expecting to build around him because Pat Riley didn't wanna start over. Bosh's health ruined those plans but team is stuck in the middle. CLE banking that Love's still a star

Bon Jovi - "Banking that Love's Still a Star"

I'm sure the rest of the NBA is terrified of a team with Love as its centerpiece

cleveland can still compete for a lower playoff seed in the east. it's not good tho.

i understand *how* gilbert is thinking but even still it's amazing that a guy who's tasted a championship and gotten close several other times wants to.....make the playoffs. in the east.

the siren call of the 8th playoff seed in the east

i totally get it when some old-school owner named herb is grinding for that spot, but gilbert should know better and take his medicine.

lol @ herb

in my mind the current pacers owner and prior bucks owner are both named herb, idk if that's right or not

I see

Toronto forward Kawhi Leonard will not attend USA Basketball minicamp in Las Vegas this week, league sources tell ESPN. He will use time to prepare for transition to new team.

Team Canada would love to have him

demar is pissed: http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/24184139/demar-derozan-dishes-trade-toronto-raptors-san-antonio-spurs-nba

yooo

lol i am gonna drive around town blasting that with my windows down on repeat

that is the song of the summer

How’d you play? ...like a eighth seed

Hello burn trauma unit I would like to report an emergency in pdx

Side note I like cj a lot and he’s gonna be a very good broadcaster

lol what a dick.

i cant stop listening to it

btw demar has a chip on his shoulder which means he will shoot 45% from 3 and get all-nba defense this year, spurs are back

otm

If he does bison I'm buying us all drinks to celebrate

Hell even 41 %

yeah demar will be much more motivated to excel than kawhi will be

idk about that kawhis rep/image has taken a huge hit as well and teams (lakers) need to know he's the same player he was before they throw a max at him

Vincanity signs a 1 year w the hawks. why isnt he hopping on contenders?

for real. the one guy i'd want to go to the dubs goes in the total opposite direction.

I'm glad he's not ring chasing.

i don't think it's completely up to him

KD vs CJ spilling over into Twitter now. Could just be the homer in me but CJ seems like a baby in all of this.

I mean it’s been two years ffs

kd was getting into it with hella randos on twitter tho. they both look worse for it, but kd can't leave this shit alone.

only way he fixes this is to go to philly next year.

i feel pretty confident he's gonna bounce after another season or two.

Seeing KD on the Lakers with LeBron next year will be weird.

idk i could do without kd's knowing cynicism but i'm assuming so could he given that he seems completely miserable.

sadly this whole twitter exchange was started by a barstool sports dude. now *i'm* depressed.

im not sure miserable is the right word idk. hard to pin him down, he's all over the map. one things for sure, he's an open book.

yeah this is really dumb and everyone involved looks stupid

should prob trade cj and kd for each other tho just my two cents

also philly is trash organization owned by a trump supporter that's coasting on the legacy of its prior previous general manager.

kd to the knicks seems like a thing that could happen
