2019 nba OFFSEASON news, rumors, drama, and recriminations

str8 up

what can lebrown do for you

maybe the Lakers should give Thibs a call

one of the whiteboy youtube basketball celebs might actually be good

High-level Hoop Summit game with a monster showing from Nico Mannion. He was tremendous all week in practice also. Excellent blend of scoring instincts, passing feel, toughness at 6'3. Game comes easy to him. Have been really impressed with him at every stop since the U16 Euros. pic.twitter.com/DMDgE3akN2

Luke Walton to the kangz

yeah good fit

Breaking news: Zion declared for the draft

need to see him on the hawks

traeon must happen

hmm hadn't thought of that but i'm all for it now

I will call up my spindly hairless friend Adam Silver and tell him what must happen.

need to see him on the suns so i can watch him is what im thinking. but come to thin of it that would mean ticket prices would rise... so i am ok with this hawks vision. just not the knicks they deserve nothing good.

the ugly knicks must not be allowed to associate with beautiful zion

Lottery odds:

New York 14.0%
Cleveland 14.0%
Phoenix 14.0%
Chicago 12.5%
Atlanta 10.5%
Washington 9.0%
New Orleans 6.0%
Memphis 6.0%
Dallas 6.0%
Minnesota 3.0%
Los Angeles Lakers 2.0%
Charlotte 1.0%
Miami 1.0%
Sacramento (to Boston or to Philadelphia) . 1.0%

Cleveland reloading with Zion would be kind of wild

luka + zion 4ever

oh god dont put that in the universe i need the mavs to stink a lil while longer

If there's any truth to the Kristaps case then hopefully they will.

doncic-kristaps-zion would be a fuckin wet dream

if the kristaps thing had any legs i feel like we would know by now

feel like being a third option would be amazing for him

uh oh boogie looked pissed

oops wrong hoop thread

the plot thickens???

David Griffin on Anthony Davis: "We have a long successful history with Klutch Sports. Rich Paul and I have spoke about Anthony. We are both excited about what we could potentially build here."

Anthony Davis looks at the Pelicans and asks "why?" David Griffin looks at them and asks "why not?"

that would be good for basketball reasons but not sure if i buy it

they gotta pretend theyre not gonna trade him

natch

but also it would be cool if they didnt

he wore the thats all folks shirt its too late

but that wasnt his choice

doesnt matter if u wear the shirt u wear the shirt

debatable

i interpreted the shirt as 'end of season' not 'i am going to another team'

good, kemba needs new horizons

sounds like it's Lue, Juwan Howard or Monty Williams

lol

i pity whoever it is

... unless it is Scott Skiles.

Sad that Mark Jackson isn't on the shortlist anymore.

that klutch connection may have been a bridge too far for people to handle

really wanted to see j kidd cannonball pointlessly into those waters.

waht

Report: Lakers have no plans to replace Magic Johnson, who’ll still help team recruit FAs https://t.co/vOdRcvt4BR

lakers are all like when you think about it what even is a president of basketball operations?

lakers are all magic doesnt work here and he does work here

magic gonna recruit players to LA by assuring them he won't be around to fuck things up

If the recent past is an indicator, Magic will recruit free agents by tampering with them.

i love being tampered with

It really sucks that Hezonja can’t shoot

the preseason is hilarious. vince carter is on a 14-point heater and trying to own julius randle for some reason.

if vince is scoring, it means the season is begun
