2018 NBA OFFSEASON

I’ve got YTTV. Maybe I’ll spring for league pass for the first time since I’ll have the nationally covered games covered.

goddamn

ESPN reporting with @Zachlowe_NBA: In another example of the league's changing attitudes on gambling, the Dallas Mavericks are hiring former NBA bettor Bob Voulgaris (@Haralabob) as Director of Quantitative Research and Development.

so bob lost all his money by investing in bitcoin is what i'm getting here

lol

Mo Bamba has scored 24 points on a 91.7 eFG% so far in this preseason.

thats pretyy good

the famous dunk is the best shot

magic might be onto something w their frontcourt of the future

guess it wasnt all dunks

Curious as to how @OrlandoMagic C Mohamed Bamba is so comfortable and confident on the perimeter? This story from July, detailing the work Mo did with @DrewHanlen, might shed some light on why he’s made all 4 of his 3-point shots in two preseason games. https://t.co/CE8Zy2uPMk

hanlens pr machine in overdrive rn

For real haha

new category of nba celebrity the trainer

so friday lonnie walker the fourth got injured for at least 2 months and then today, dejounte murray's knee buckled and he's gonna have an mri tomorrow YAYYYYYYY

Nothing worse than preseason injuries

preseason has bad energy they shd cancel it

they should juts ban running during preseason games

play horse call it a day

they should play with the old-school womens rules where you basically can't move

preseason has bad energy they shd cancel it

Players in the development league would all disagree with that.

this is a difficult story that hopefully will have a nice ending: terry rozier sr. sees his son play ball for the first time

that piece is a bit of a light touch considering how open rozier is about being a blood

the boston beltics

looking forward to bicken back and watching basketball

new alternates are nice

lol

week before the season starts lol suns

Suns announce they have let go of GM Ryan McDonough. A team to watch moving forward given their need at PG position.

— Brian Robb (@BrianTRobb) October 8, 2018

... about 3 years too late. Gotta be cos he still doesn’t have a signed PG on the roster.

a firable offense tbf

McDonough's tenure was met with immediate success, but difficulties with trades and draft picks short-circuited tenure. McDonough has been pursuing a starting-level point guard in marketplace, only to have many teams holding Suns up for an unprotected first-round pick in talks.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) October 8, 2018

Clown show

lol unbelievable

love to have a fickle rich guy hanging over my shoulder

The challenge for the Suns remains unchanged: Robert Sarver is perhaps the NBA's most involved owner in basketball decision-making and the plan can change day-to-day. McDonough survived five years with him. Recruiting a new GM is never an easy sell there.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) October 8, 2018

oh no torn acl for dejounte :( :(

glad the suns are around to make the timberwolves only the second biggest shitshow of a franchise :)

Fuckkkk

that really sucks

uhg sorry bise et al

Suns legend Steve Nash -- a Sarver favorite -- continues to have no interest in pursuing the demands of the day-to-day duties of running a front office, league sources tell ESPN. He works as consultant with the Warriors now.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) October 8, 2018

-- a Sarver favorite --

nash too smart.

just hang out with the splash bros, kd and kerr in the bay twice a month or deal with sarver on the daily....

haha did not know this:
https://valleyofthesuns.com/2016/10/20/phoenix-suns-sarver-worst-nba/

imo its unfair for steph to get advice from nash

doubt sarver is a nash favorite

nash is positive about everyone and everything when he's on simmons' podcasts, to the point of absurdity. never seems to mention robert sarver

The mother of a guy I used to know was Sarver’s personal assistant for a few years. I heard some stories I wouldn’t dare put in writing. I think he’s a tad off, to say the least.

James Jones going from on a team to (maybe) GM of a team in one year is pretty wild.

just like that dude on ballers

kinda like that one guy elton brand

imo its unfair for steph to get advice from nash
