2019 nba OFFSEASON news, rumors, drama, and recriminations

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?

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

Wcs signing is an incredible pickup wow

not as into the glenn rob III signing, but he's a warm body at least!

Yah he’s worth a shot at minimum I guess

i'm still dying at the meat and cheese platter

Twitter seems to be positive on Vonleh.... I'm don't think I've seen the Knicks play since Melo

seemed to be a fan favorite role player, lot of Knicks fans wondering why they didn't give him Taj Gibson's deal

I liked him the year or two he played for Portland but I also don’t remember much about him which kinda says it all

hes a “all the tools cant put it together” type guy

lot of Knicks fans wondering why they didn't give him Taj Gibson's deal

yep

Philly maxed Simmons $175M

yeesh.

gotta

for better or worse this is the team they are rolling with for the next few years

they shd really just trade simmons, he has mvp potential at center, its not right to use him how they do

i'm a firm believer that if one team would offer a guy the max it means he's a max player, but this one is uncomfortable

teams id be lining up to pay him, dont know if theyre smart enough to use him at center or not, just a really weird sitch cause like hes 7ft tall and cant shoot it shd be obvious

they have two other centers

i know brand is searching for the mythical all-center lineup

apparently!

a cool team wldve been if instead of trading for AD the lakers traded bron for simmons

maybe simmons will try to learn how to shoot...

just kidding
