2019 nba OFFSEASON news, rumors, drama, and recriminations

yeah he can still lead the break from center and can go even faster surrounded by non centers this concept is flawless basically

to make that trade, the Celtics would have to max Tatum. think about it.

theyre def going to but i believe they cld be traded for each other now as theyre both still on their rookie deals, simmons new one doesnt kick in til next year

that's right, and tatum will be maxed regardless unless he has an atrocious year

So far I think the Jamal Murray deal is the most questionable max deal of this offseason. I like him and all but...

yeah hard to see anyone else wanting to give him that money unless he srsly tears this season up

Bro....... LOOK at OJ Mayo. pic.twitter.com/MJ622n1AKr

OJ “Murs” Mayo

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

I like most of the ringer basketball pods but the one on fridays with kevin o’connor and jonathan tjarks and the other guy is usually good

Keldon Johnson looking like a real good Spursy pick at 29. Also loving that Jeff “Mellow” Ledbetter is still draining them at 31 in summer league - the man lives to hoop.

agree. Chris Ryan is usually pretty good whenever he pops up. I don't listen to The Mismatch though because Chris Vernon deeply sucks (or at least he did the few times I gave it a shot, maybe he's gotten better).

Lowe on ESPN is still the best though.

I listen to the mismatch because KOC aid good and I like to hate-listen to vernon

all the ringer nba podcasts are the same & annoying in the same way

I've been enjoying O'Connor's staunch defence of the Knicks' trade policy.

i can't do anything with vernon. he's awful.

the only guys at the ringer whose opinions i mildly respect are KOC, devine, and verrier. as a result i don't listen to many of those pods.

desktop is good, but the “woj remove all my extremities with a rusty knife” jokes have never been funny and he makes like 5 per episode nowadays

those jokes work on twitter ime

but as ive stated before i dont do pods bc i dont want to listen to badly edited radio

bo-bomb

Sources: Free agent Boban Marjanovic has agreed to a deal with the Dallas Mavericks.

boban is going to be a legendary journeyman and future role player HOFer. already been to like 5 teams now (sa, det, lac, phil, dal)

I think they should do plays where him and Porzingis play "keep away" from the others players by passing the ball back and forth over their heads until one of them dunks

that's a winning strategy right there! works for me and my BIL against my 10yo neffew and his friends, we dominate those kids.

my friends Boban joke is that he's a d&d character with 10 points in strength and 0 in all the others

a perfect strategy to counter the nu-Lakers

The Grizzlies are trading Kyle Korver and Jevon Carter to the Suns for DeAnthony Melton, Josh Jackson 2020 second-round pick and 2021 conditional second-round pick, league sources tell ESPN.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) July 3, 2019

Suns lottery picks yikes. This must mean they are locking up wave papi

Plz, Kawhi, say it

i turned twitter notifications on my phone... 3 fuckin days already.... aaaaargh

i don't understand anything about the suns

that josh jackson pick was doomed from the start tho damn

Can the Suns play Ayton at the PF with Baynes? Kaminsky/Saric don't seem like starters to me.

Daric can be a starter as a stretch 4

ayton's always gotta be a 5

PG: Ricky Rubio, Tyler Johnson, Ty Jerome, Elie Okobo
SG: Devin Booker, Cameron Johnson
SF: Kelly Oubre Jr., Mikal Bridges
PF: Dario Saric, Frank Kaminsky, Dragan Bender
C: Deandre Ayton, Aron Baynes

this team could be kinda fun, i say they get to 30 wins. last year they were kinda fun and had two glaring holes at pg and pf and now they have normal players in those positions plus a little depth. they have small ball switchable lineup options too

Bender's a FA, I think, and Okobo is a team option.

Yeah suns are not terrible now!

is kelly oubre definitely back?

love what memphis has been doing btw.

Oubre's a restricted FA.

they still did some incredibly dumb things. still dont understand dumping tj warren and adding picks to that. then having to unload josh with picks too. bad stuff. they badly need ayton to be the star they expected.

yeah bender is an fa good call. okobo i could see them picking that up.

the suns had 4 wings and dropped two so they better be keeping oubre. nothing has been agreed to though

oh yeah i also forgot that the suns had to do something like this to get the space for overpaying rubio

that starting 5 at least makes sense schematically on offense but any team starting booker, oubre, saric and 2nd year ayton is gonna give up 585 ppg

it's crazy in the last two years the suns have just bought tyson chandler and kyle korver out instead of trying to trade them for literally anything

the suns are definitely #1 contender for "team that doesn't know the entire CBA"

well james jones wants to help his pal lebron out as much as possible whilst under the guise of being a gm so it makes sense
