2018 NBA OFFSEASON

he's got way too much kobe in him for me to be able to appreciate what he's doing here.

Re-watched our interview with KAT at the start of training camp, which now seems like a long time ago. Here's the exact moment we went from discussing his own max deal to a question about Jimmy Butler: pic.twitter.com/zk2nGmJLYe

what a fucking diva

@BillSimmons

Jimmy Butler says he only cares about winning and yet he originally requested a trade to the Clippers, Knicks or Nets. This whole thing is hilarious.

honestly I admire how the Timberwolves have consistently been the biggest joke franchise in the NBA but yet never stop fighting, never stop striving to keep that number 1 spot....it's breathtaking, it's like Crunch himself heard people saying oh the Kings this...the Suns that....then it's like time to bring the fuckin hammer down...

man idk if the wolves have taken the crown from the kings, or even the dolan knicks

idk
fucking up marbury/kg relationship
making an illegal contract with joe fuckin smith which lost us 4 1st round draft picks
trading ray allen's rights to milwaukee on draft day
rasho nesterovic
ndudi ebi
jr rider
christian laettner
donyell marshall
rashad mccants
trading brandon roy to portland on draft day
trading for darko
flynn/rubio over steph curry
pissing off kevin love for no reason
current drama w/butler
firing dwayne casey for no reason
thibs
rambis
randy wittman
david kahn

i feel our resume is very strong

luc longley

(JR Rider pick = we passed on Chris Webber & Jamal Mashburn)

Donyell Marshall pick = we passed on Glenn Robinson, Jason Kidd, Grant Hill

Donyell Marshall pick = we passed on Glenn Robinson, Jason Kidd, Grant Hill

i'm wrong on this

those things are bad it's true

taking 2 wrong guys over steph curry feels way way more than 2x as bad as taking 1 wrong guy over steph curry

2 wrong point guards, nonetheless.

i was thinking about chris douglas roberts for some reason so i looked him up and uh... he changed his name to $upreme Bay

well he sounds content in that article so uh go for it my man

yeah

ha thats dope

yes....this is embarrassing

It’s preseason, but still embarrassing Kings down 45-10 at home versus Jazz. Kings have missed 25 of 29 shots.

just a couple days ago some celtics writer was talking about ppl shdnt get too excited about that kings pick but idk they have some prob nice players but theyre all super young, and its the kings

man i'm more worried that it will end up #1 and not convey to the celtics; i don't see how they're not one of the two worst teams in the league.

like even if you like their players their roster is something in the area of 50% power forwards.

still there are like 5 teams that could post a worse record than the kings without anyone blinking so i don't mind those odds

yeah and theres always one or two mediocre teams that have injuries and become terrible

idk guys, i've gone down the list and it's hard to find teams that are going to be worse than the kings

the hawks are going to be awful. i guess the knicks nets suns and magic are also in the vicinity but i'd have all those teams above the hawks and kings.

p much have the same list except the suns are def seriously in the running imho + teams like dallas cld easily be very bad with the right injuries + cleveland is a dark horse for being truly awful imho

i actually think the suns will be a notch above the true dregs; booker and ayton will put up numbers and their new coach could really help. they're a million miles from being winners but they could steal some games.

i agree cleveland could be a complete disaster; lebron leaving is such a wild variable. i think a really good coach could do something with this roster but they have ty lue.

idk aytons real young and raw, the literally dont have a starting pg, rookie coach, cursed franchise and so forth, booker is good tho

yeah i'm out on a limb with the suns i just don't completely hate them.

*i should caveat i mean for this year and being bottom 4 or 5; there's no way this collection of guys becomes a winning team

lol censored

lmao

Pat Riley hung up on Tom Thibodeau and called him a "motherf-cker" when he asked for more assets in potential deal for Jimmy Butler, per @SedanoESPN pic.twitter.com/sQHyswK8jz

knicks and nets gonna be bad. grizzlies could get pretty sad if things break wrong for them.

griz really need to just trade gasol and conley already they shdve done it a couple years ago

btw celtics get their pick if kings is #1

yeah it is unfair that marc g and conley are straddled to that carcass

earlier today outta nowhere i remembered the time vivek called buddy hield the next steph curry

vivek is truly a blessing

oh you know who else is prob gonna suck it's the bulls

ah true the famous bulls they will be bad too

the teams dont have to be worse than the kings to post a worse record. the blazers were not the 3rd best west team last year

if the kings pick is #1 philly keeps it and the celtics get philly’s pick iirc

oh yeah ur right the griz pick is unrelated, the details of which are top 8 protected in 2019, top 6 in 2020, unprotected in 2021

will probably get the grizz pick this year there's just too many bad teams for them to be that low unless all their players die again which is unlikely

i know, i hate to root against marc and mike but i would really love for that pick to get kicked down the road at least a year.

yeah gasol could opt out next year if the team sucks enough and then they're really in the basement

marc n mike in the morning

would watch and/or listen

rip spurs. derrick white out 6-8 weeks with heel injury.

lmao every year without fail:

Bradley Beal is HYPED on Jeff Green: "Jeff is a star, man, because he’s built like LeBron and almost plays like him."
