2019 nba OFFSEASON news, rumors, drama, and recriminations

that sixers lineup doesnt have a lot of shot creating, on the other hand everyone is 7 feet tall

seeing a lot of tweets and comments about how embiid and horford can fill in for each other while one of them rests which is basically just depressing

Woj says on The Jump that Horford's agent did "try to do a deal in Boston."

Boston did offer Horford a four-year deal, but it was "significantly less" money than Philly's offer, according to Woj.

woj now on tv saying in so many words that the sixers did not like butler and wanted to get rid of him

I just don’t understand who gets a bucket for this team in the clutch. They leaned on jimmy so heavily in the playoffs.

so the celtics offered horford 4/80 basically? i still assume he turned down more money from another team

kings maybe

yeah kings

Would have been cool to see Al in Dallas

this is probably a good time to remember that the sixers GM is a 6-8 PF who started playing in the NBA 20 years ago

Or the kings! Haha

xp that would have been fun. i liked the idea of dallas getting horford and beverly.

everyones coming off the board and the lakers havent done anything......

it looks like dragic is going to dallas?

the thing with the sixers that i just don't get is what do they think ben simmons is going to do differently to make this work?

it looks like dragic is going to dallas?

now this i do not like

so... kemba, kyrie and jimmy butler are all getting the same contract

i like dragic for dallas... he's still good and is basically an expiring contract. i think he can play off the ball plus has the slovenian connection w/ luka

it's nice for luka but they're going to have a tough time w/perimeter defense. i've always liked dragic but this is just a little too late. i can't find a mavs cap sheet...if this lets them get back into free agency next year it's better.

the problem is no one is a FA next year except like draymond

yeah. i was thinking less star hunting than just finding a foundational guy that can fit with kristaps and luka for a few years.

The Sixers’ new roster may be better than last season’s but worse for Ben Simmons. The goal line-package frontcourt means no minutes at C, fewer transition opportunities.

otm

they shd trade him to a team that needs a center

aw lol

Free agents Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving are taking less than the max to allow DeAndre Jordan to get the $10M annual salary with Brooklyn, league sources tell ESPN.

that is f'n nuts on all counts

i hope deandre considers trying hard for the next 4 years

It's gonna be pretty awkward when Atkinson has to sit DJ for Jarrett Allen

lol nba players are so dumb

im not even convinced the sixers are better... in a vacuum would you trade jimmy butler and jj redick for al horford? prob not

nets shd do a trade for jared allen to the celtics

i don't really mind superstar collusion but when it starts to fold in non-stars i can see getting irritable

just to put a point on it jarrett allen deserves much better than getting his minutes ganked by deandre jordan

i don't understand why the nets are giving deandre jordan 4 years

i mean honestly we could be heading towards a lob city east level of frustration and strife in a couple years with kyrie as cp3, durant as blake, and deandre as old deandre

Taj Gibson has agreed to a two-year, $20M deal with the Knicks, agent Mark Bartelstein tells ESPN.

Idk about you guys but I am PSYCHED for a jazz-pacers finals in 2020.

Apparently Dragic isn't going to Dallas after all. They're getting Kelly O and a Derrick

hey guys i was at the zoo all day today so my understanding is some players are on different teams now?

yeah man... shit is crazy

i dont get the hype around the jazz right now.

they lose: rubio, favors, crowder, korver, grayson allen
they got: conley, ed davis, and bojan bogdonavic

like i guess it depends on how much you like mitchell (i dont) or how much better you consider conley in comparison to rubio (def better but). bojan is good, too! i think the jazz got better but im seeing ppl call them western contenders and i dont see it.

this team still has not a single all-star (yet) idk

if we're to assume that the warriors won't be a factor next season, conley-mitchell-gobert is a pretty good big 3 as far as the leftover teams in the west go

its not THAT good tho.

like how much better is it than conley-gasol-whoever that the griz had?

It’s exactly the same, but y’know those guys made a conf. finals

i GUESSSSSSSSSSSS

west is wide open depending on what the lakers do

also jazz added a couple guys who can put the ball in the ring which is what they needed, do kinda not get the hypes as well tho

I for one will never doubt the Splash Uncles

The term "Splash Uncles" was created with this duo in mind. pic.twitter.com/KO345BzRZC

Also...

Sources: Golden State and Brooklyn are close to a D'Angelo Russell sign-and-trade deal to the Warriors.
