2019 nba OFFSEASON news, rumors, drama, and recriminations

xp idk youre losing beverly white gazelle prob wont stay healthy lou wills value declines w kawhi on board etc

beverly just re-signed tho.

im not accounting for injuries obv, im assuming w healthy lineups. the pt about lou will makes sense, but he's still valuable as a bench scorer/2nd option.

beverly just re-signed tho.

More on #Clippers meeting:

They had a Meat and Cheese platter, equipped with over 10 dipping sauces. It made a big impression on Dennis Robertson, Kawhi’s Uncle.

Team and Kawhi feel like they are a good match. Believe SG Danny Green will follow.

i respect uncle dennis now

Lol, that's so small time to be impressed by.

i dont know how clippers can get danny green bc they took on harkless and have just enough space to sign kawhi to a max. well they can always trade someone into space, but who has space lefotever? *looks at knicks*

lol *left over

Lol, that's so small time to be impressed by.

Has anyone invited Tacko Fall to join their summer league team? How about in Europe? Or in China? I want to see him play some more.

Ah! Wikipedia says the Celtics have him on contract. Summer league, tho?

yeah he's on whatever type of contract lets a team get a look at a guy in summer league. i forget what it's actually called.

tacko summer

hope he sticks, cool huge guy

Listened to the woj pod w russillo yesterday and it’s pretty crazy how bad woj is at podcasting. Can’t ever finish a thought and just rambles. Think there was a 10 minutes stretch where russillo didn’t even get a word in.

yeah extemporaneous speaking is not his strong suit

woj is not really an on-air guy despite their best efforts to make him one.

I think it was technically his first pod w Espn so I was hoping they had coached him a bit but he was worse than I’ve ever heard him.

espn has him looking presentable these days at least

are there any good ringer nba podcasts other than simmons and nba desktop? All of the other ones look like everyone is named Sean

no

the best basketball pods are lowe & windhorst's pod w the espn nba ppl

the best basketball pods are lowe and dunc’d on.

trick question: u should not listen to pods

I’m told Willie Cauley-Stein coming to the Warriors. Was Damian Jones that bad in the Summer League debut? Does that mean no DeMarcus Cousins?

— Marcus Thompson (@ThompsonScribe) July 2, 2019

opinion: "the big man" is dead

they need to take whoever they can get on the minimum.

he's a good player on the min!

yeah thatd be a great pickup for them

confirmed. interesting pickup. they are running out of cap space quick

oh they’re way, way, way beyond cap space.

i like WCS

no one wanted to give him more than the min, weird

Can confirm. Cauley-Stein will sign for something slightly above the minimum salary, a source says. https://t.co/acJryQ5lik

my wildest fantasy is kawhi signing with a euro club for like two years

we sure WCS is not just taking a big pay cut to fit with the warriors for a year?

how many kinds of dipping sauce they got in euro

we sure WCS is not just taking a big pay cut to fit with the warriors for a year?

guess maybe hit the market in a less free agent rich year after having an amazing season or something idk

this makes me think that WCS has a bad rep still despite looking like a decent player at times.

ha yeah the warriors are going to run the p&r ok

Willie Cauley-Stein upped his screen assists per game last year despite a 0.7 mpg drop. He was in the top six on screen assists per game for guys under 28 mpg.

D'Angelo Russell was 2nd in PNR ball-handling plays last year. Might be an interesting new wrinkle to GS's offense.

who’s going to be pointing the gun at kerr’s head on the sideline each game?

Gilbert Arenas is available!

lol

this might shake up the western conference

The Timberwolves have agreed to terms with Noah Vonleh on a one-year deal, league sources tell @TheAthleticMIN

— Jon Krawczynski (@JonKrawczynski) July 2, 2019

its a good pickup, vonnleh is quality
