2018 NBA OFFSEASON

pretty sick piece http://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/24504654/kyrie-irving-art-sick-handles-nba

the one v dray is kinda the craziest cause even tho its the least flashy at no point does it look lie kyrie has him beat but then he scores easily

LET BOBAN PLAY

hi everyone i've been authorized by glen taylor to execute the jimmy butler trade

please post any offers and i will send them to the organization

will you take lag∞n and a 2nd-round pick?

they should trade him for "lonzo ball"

three team trade - ILX gets Gorgui Deng & Rajon Rondo, Timberwolves get lagoon and Lonzo, Lakers get Jimmy Buckets

trivia q! just saw this on twitter:

last season was the first time since they started recording blocks in the early 70s that a player who is 7 feet or taller played over 200 minutes and failed to record a single block.

who was it?

Why would ILX want to give up a prolific scorer like lagoon in return for a head case like rondo and a slightly below-average center?

lol xp just posted it in the stats thread

aw yeah

All-Star Jimmy Butler participated in Minnesota's practice, a session that included him verbally challenging teammates, coaches and front office, league sources told ESPN. Butler was vociferous and emotional at times, targeting Thibodeau/Layden/Towns/Wiggins. Story soon on ESPN.

At one point in a scrimmage, sources said, Butler turned to GM Scott Layden and screamed, "You (bleeping) need me. You can't win without me." Butler left teammates and coaches largely speechless. He dominated the gym in every way. Jimmy's back.

aha yes

i imagine butler pulling up in a f-350 furious blasting tim mcgraw and putting out 3 cigarettes with his cowboy boots over the wolves logo

smh cant believe im on the trading block thought we were all committed to championship level posting here

"He dominated the gym in every way."

a beautiful sports phrase

A couple of Butler's teammates were particularly vague when asked about Butler's level of participation in practice on Wednesday.

the nba needs this

My favorite landing spot for Butler (that will never happen) is the Wizards. Rivers/Oubre/Brown/1st works under cap, and just gives us full chaos team that tries to compete for a title with Wall/Butler/Beal/Porter/Dwight/Markieff. Let’s do it. For the sake of the NBA.

poor otto poter lol

lol seriously

the wizards every single year haha

you could tell me that team will win anywhere from 30-55 games and i'd believe it

grain of salt b/c of who's saying it but amin just said on the jump that jimmy played with the 3rd stringers in practice and beat the starters lol

this is gonna be more juicy than the decision

Told Butler is breaking his silence right now in a sit-down with ESPN. Interview to air tonight. #Twolves

Sources are telling me the lagoon for jimmy deal is heating up....however wolves want a sign-and-trade for lagoon and ned and stet are reportedly balking at that....

i think league commissioner m bison needs to kibosh this trade. this is some cp3 to LA levels of nonsense.

I trade machined him to Sacramento and honestly I think it makes a lot of sense.

lagoon doesn't really want to play there

boring city, no upper mississipi sh@kedown

One more week!

it's very cool to be completely hopeless and burned out before the season has even begun

nothin like terrible management

this is why it's important to have a side-piece... or two.

welcome to the bankers life fieldhouse

this is the life i chose

jimmy interview gonna be on ESPN any minute

i'm not optimistic abt my team this year but feel pretty good abt it prob being the last ride for the dame & cj show and i'm curious abt what comes next, and hey only two more seasons of all those albatross contracts from a couple summers ago

jimmy and kat butting heads... just wait til he becomes teammates with whiteside

lmao this interview jimmy is a weirdo

he's a total weirdo and the whole thing seems 100% staged. woj's flowery tweets. rachel ready to go in minny. jimmy ready to to tell all.

all a bunch of bullshit.

yeah

Got the call last night that @JimmyButler was ready to talk. Jumped on a plane this morning, and wow - turns out he certainly was. We’ll have lots more on @SportsCenter tonight and then you know we’ll have evvvvvvvverything on #TheJump at 3p ET tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/C89gpLdTUa

oh man i wonder if riley is behind this

jimmy woulda come off better if he didnt do the interview. let the rumors and legends spread and grow naturally on social media. now he's just another "i just care SO much and try SO much harder and care WAY more than all my teammates" guy. good content tho.

im just brutally honest

if i call andrew wiggins little clown boy every time i address him its just because i think thats what his name should be

No one will think I'm a team cancer if they hear I believe I care more than the other people who have dedicated their whole lives to reach this level of a sport.

Send him to Houston to play with CP3. Let them yell at each other over who cares more.

trade 4 melo

Woj’s advocacy for Jimmy Butler here is embarrassing.
