2019 nba OFFSEASON news, rumors, drama, and recriminations

which one?

Rondo!

Rondo kcp javale Boog Danny lmao

my dreams have come true

Boog 1 for 3.5M man he and IT2 really missed out on their big paydays

i mean at this point I think Boogie for one year at that price is a pretty good gamble

Yah he’ll be better than last season just got to worry about what kind of load he can handle

has it been so long that I forgot boogie and ad have already played together lol

I assume this lakers team will be good but I can’t tell if this is a title contender or a second round exit team

LA has just become the king of basketball with the Lakers adding AD, Cousins, Danny Green, JaVale McGee, and KCP and Kawhi Leonard and Paul George joining the Clippers. It’s going to be awesome to watch NBA basketball in LA this season!

All three, no?

Zion our for rest of summer league w bruised knee.

Lol yup rondo too xp

Imagine thinking at the2018 pelicans plus lebron was the fuckin wave

zions a bust

Lol shut up

lol who upthread called the warriors a smart franchise

What did they do?

They let go of Mark Jackson. Of course, they also hired Mark Jackson.

Holy shit spurs are signing Marcus morris

And we traded my vegan BFF Davis bertans 😭

agree with jordan that the more I think of it the less I’m sure the clippers are slam dunk favorites

yeah i don’t think they’re that much better than the lakers. all of these reconstructed superteams are going to have shaky first years.

I don’t see how could this be a controversial statement.

it’s just a zing but i hate everything they’ve done this offseason.

With all the FA + max contract + injury complications GS had to cope with, they were headed for trouble this offseason no matter what they did.

i am pleased they maxed out klay but i dunno if it was strategically the best option. would wanna hear a case for/against.

clippers are definitely better than the lakers

wouldn't be surprised if the jazz or nuggets sneak their way to the 1 seed though while the other teams are figuring shit out

one of them will do that and peace out in the second round.

it's the thought that counts

this feels like the most unpredictable year

would wanna hear a case for/against.

going down with the ship with curry/klay/draymond is exactly what warriors fans want. this team didn't win shit before they showed up and people would riot if they lowballed klay.

klay was always gonna get the max

yeah lowballing klay would have been extremely disrespectful. it’s the russell thing that baffles me.

In six months they'll trade him for some picks and an expiring contract and it will make more sense.

agree with jordan that the more I think of it the less I’m sure the clippers are slam dunk favorites

no one looks like a monster from here but i do like that clippers team theyve got stars and depth and are put together in a way that makes sense, def wldnt have been picking them over many of the recent champs, giannis cld just wreck the league this year too tho, lakers i do not like the construction or the players really outside of 3 guys the org obvs too is just very effed

Lakers lineup is hilariously awesome

if the clips can carry their energy from last year into next they shd be pretty great, they played real good ball

lakers situation just seems like its designed to crash and burn

The klay signing was the correct move and getting anything for Kd was a smart move as well. Netting a desirable all star guard was a good get! The fit may not work but poly otm they can flip it any time if they have to. Looney and Trill for combined 7 mill per year is great value. They will feel the iggy loss for sure. He and dray were lockstep on defense.

id love to see a bev - shamet - pg - kawhi - trez lineup

clips role player situation is just better all the way up and down the roster. Montrezl is a beast at the 5, pat bev is still that dude, Lou off the bench to be the 2nd unit scoring punch, harkless a 3 and d wing. only thing that’ll hold them back is health, but that’s a lot of teams.

Lakers just got bad vibes in their set up. overcrowded front court, relying on Danny green and Troy Daniels to be the outside shooting they were missing last year. Idk this roster feels like last season when they didn’t make all the big moves they thought they were. too many cooks in the kitchen on the coaching staff too.

Obv lakers will be a problem for teams, AD and bron are that good, but I can see them getting derailed in the playoffs .

i would trust kawhi and george to be healthier than lebron and brow too

all the factional stuff in the laker's front office seems like it will inevitably seep out to the locker room too imo

I know y’all wish that shit for the lakers.The NBA is super weird this year who knows tho

loving the possibility of Jason Kidd running that crew.

I might be crazy but is LeBron James now..... underrated?
