2019 nba OFFSEASON news, rumors, drama, and recriminations

losing Dedmon to the Kings was a low key disappointment for me. that dude deserves to be play quality minutes on a contender

Loved him on the spurs

Anyone know about this guy?

Layman's young, but not green. He's developed well during his 3 years as a Blazer, to the point where he was perfectly fine off the bench for short minutes as an 'energy' player, or a short term starter occasionally, at need. Decent shooter. Decent defense. Not a rebounder. At $4 mill/year the Wolves got him at the right price.

wonder what kawhis thinkin about

Conspiracy theory: uncle Dennis wants to sign with the lakers but he’s not been able to convince kawhi to go there so he’s dragging this out until kawhi relents

Toronto aviation correspondent is reporting here that a Raptors private plane has just landed in San Diego on the 5th of Kawhi … but with NO confirmation of who is or isn't on board https://t.co/baw6xIgA3w

xpost thanks Aimless!

Wolves obviously are in a terrible spot w/r/t to cap & contracts and also being cursed for all eternity by dark forces more powerful than we can imagine...

...but so far they do seem to be making pretty good pickups on the margins of players for good value (Vonleh, Bell, this guy)

Loved him on the spurs

Same. I hardly watched any Hawks games last season and hadn't realised he had added a 3pt shot to his game (3.4 attempts a game at .382).

dark forces more powerful than we can imagine...

Kevin McHale & Kurt Rambis?

I’m 99.9% predicting Kawhi goes back to San Antonio to pull off the best plot twist ever

can they even sign him

Sure sign and trade with Toronto, send demar and someone else

that sounds too messy for even the nba

there was actually a rumor on reddit that predicted a kawhi fake out back to sa this summer but p much only the most gullible bought into it

what if kawhi is trying to sabotage the lakers

Then he is doing a perfect job and he must be truly a Spur at heart and I bless him.

But yeah if Toronto are running it back this is the optimal strategy as Lakers will probably be the biggest threat.

the laker must sign boogard cousins

and dwight

The Memphis Grizzlies are planning to waive eight-time All-Star Dwight Howard, league sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.

they are going to wave avery brdley too. couple more ~interesting~ pieces floating around out there now. dwight has to go back to the lakers now it muse happen.

was wondering when dwight became a griz it was 36mins ago

The Grizzlies are trading CJ Miles to Washington for Dwight Howard, league source tells ESPN. Deal saves Memphis $3.1M. Grizzles will waive or trade Howard, per source.

zion abt to play pro basketball

Zion Williamson is getting booed everytime he does not dunk in the layup line.

— T.J. McBride (@TJMcBrideNBA) July 6, 2019

at what point do we start getting mad at kawhi for not getting on with it, like hey man I got stuff to do

im already mad

zion fouled on a oop attempt first possession

check out some knicks fans

https://i.imgur.com/uOZsvil.jpg

happy for them that the knicks are back and have made all the right moves to continue their recent decline

I respect kawhi taking his time as long as it ends with him not signing with the lakers

^ a measured, well-reasoned position

zion got a dunk

two dunks

love too watch zion dunk

three dunks

they shd change the name of the league to the ZDA (zion dunk association)

seems like he's still good

lol his shot is traaaash tho

four dunks (was on the bench between the last two)

a good skill for him would be dunking from the bench

lol the Summer League staffers just tried to throw frisbees into the crowd, but one flew back and hit Collin Sexton in the front row

— Tom Westerholm (@Tom_NBA) July 6, 2019

kawhi will just show up in uniform to some team's game 1 with no announcement beforehand

zion dunked too hard

Summer League games have been postponed for the rest of the night. pic.twitter.com/dJghRRAj8u

Kawhi Leonard has been recruiting Paul George to find a way to get to the Clippers and LA pulled it off tonight: George goes to the Clippers with Leonard, and together they walk into Staples Center to go head-to-head with LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
