2019 nba OFFSEASON news, rumors, drama, and recriminations

Jackie MacMullan was on ESPN just now saying that the Boston Celtics were trying to talk with the New Orleans about the #4 pick. Called it a "blow" to Boston.

Really hoping Suns apathy is Warren's biggest problem on D.

Had no idea that Pacers were so high on Holiday, esp. as trade bait if they were going to sign a better pg to replace Collison/CoJo. Could be wrong, but I can't see the Pacers starting Holiday unless they're conceding the season and are playing for Dipo's first full year back. Not sure I'm ready to roll the dice on 40% / 33% split yet! But he have dominant moments last year. Hope Sumner and Alize take up the last roster spots – feel like Alize could be a fun benchmob guy and Sumner is healthy finally and has this season to prove himself into another contract. If he pans out, he'd be a really nice 2nd team pg eventually.

Even though Dipo missing another half season will be a massive bummer, I'm interested to see if they finally turn Myles loose, esp given the need to make up those Dipo pts, and have him chuck 2X more 3s a game.

I’m cool with that hawks trade. Wtf are you supposed to do with 3 rookies

Win the G League

think we've reach peak draft pick stockpile.

I guess I should learn about hunter. I know he’s supposed to be a lockdown wing defender and that’s about it

good 3pt shooter, too (i think 40%), i wanted him for the spurs but knew they wouldnt trade up for him. he'll be really valuable with trae dishing.

3&D small ball 4 who balled out in the national title game. Might never be an all-star but he’s gonna be good.

Word. Kinda sad Taurean didn’t develop the not that but I guess it’s beneficial for o have a guy like that closer in age to Trae

I now project 14 teams to have 2019 cap space:

1. NYK - $70.5M
2. SAC - $62.6M
3. LAC - $52.9M
4. BKN - $47.4M
5. IND - $34.1M
6. NOP - $30.3M
7. DAL - $29.8M
8. BOS - $27.8M
9. LAL - $27.7M
10. CHI - $20.8M
11. PHX - $19.9M
12. MIL - $19.4M
13. DEN - $16.9M
14. ATL - $12.9M

crap space

kings have been quiet about that huh

this draft seems more over the top than past years. i dont remember player intros before. and some espn dude just crowd surfed in new orleans.

have they started the picks yet or is that not until 8

zion and Ja picks are both in

prolly gonna try league pass next year; likely with NBA JAM mode on

The Hawks unofficially have a DeAndre' and a De'Andre.

Glad the Knicks didn’t overthink things and just took RJ. He’s one of the few potential superstars in the draft. But given that he’s on the knicks, he’ll prob just turn it to be “Taller Marbury”

tell me good things about Jarrett Culver

He can get to the hoop and shoot a bit and was a cog in the best defense in college last year

Kawhi is just casually chatting with the Blue Jays bat boy. This is amazing. He stay. pic.twitter.com/7uV5VPwSTf

Mostly care about Bol Bol at this point

He’s also a ball-demanding, leader-like dude, which is a departure from, say, Andrew Wiggins

What are the suns up to

Who is cam Johnson

UNC star who scouts say is the best pure shooter in the draft. Also:

Cam Johnson is older than his teammate Devin Booker, who was drafted in 2015

hell be in the nba for a long time dont see him being a star tho def cldve "swung for the fences" more w a pick that high

Agreed bison, ATL picked one high floor guy and one high ceiling guy, both big dudes who can dribble and shoot

is bol bol a goth

picking a low floor guy at 4 is psychotic

🐦[The Hawks unofficially have a DeAndre’ and a De’Andre.

bol bol lugosi's dead

atl acting like theyre filling out a contender w role players lol

Chauncey’s suit is a thing of beauty

high floor rather xp self

solid starter type guys almost never stick on the teams that draft them

lol Goga vs Zion

the big euro everyone loves goes to the pacers cld be a steal

I’m not gonna pretend I know Hunter well enough to guarantee this but if low ceiling is describing a dude who scored 27 in a championship game and destroyed the number 6 pick head to head then I’ll live with it

number 6 pick is in the same boat lol

i mean theres a reason those guys werent one and done

Ehh I mean his downside is low, his upside is still pretty high. At minimum you’re getting a Tayshaun Prince-type. If it makes you feel better, imagine that Reddish and Hunter’s draft positions were flipped

lol theres exactly one guy in the draft u can say for sure will be better than tayshaun prince
