2019 nba OFFSEASON news, rumors, drama, and recriminations

it's always good when your players can fly around

Lebron gotta play 40 mins per night

Lakers better hope Danny Green doesn't go into the same kind of funk he just experienced in this year's playoffs. Any team with Bron and Brow is obviously going to be able to create a lot of open shots but somebody has to actually be able to make them. maybe Quinn Cook?

Danny had a bounce back year in the reg season but his shot disappearing is very on brand for him. there’s a reason we called him icyhot in SA.

way overrated plain 3&d guy imho

Report: After talking to him, Thunder open to trading Russell Westbrook https://t.co/xTfChtwFV5

i bet

alec burks 1 year to the dubs.

warriors also trade damiam jones and a 2nd round pick to hakws for omari spellman

i don't really get that one.

jones is junk. maybe they can get spellman on that draymond diet

Yahoo Sources: Los Angeles Lakers intend to move LeBron James to the starting point guard position. https://t.co/is6BPo5W0q

there u go

magic jameson

what does that even mean really

bron's been playing his own position for like 8 years

Putting Lebron at point is the kind of lame stupid disastrous innovative thinking we have come to expect from the Lakers.

what does that even mean really

theyre not starting rondo lol

it means nothing other than to inform lakers fans to stop asking about whos gonna play point guard.

I guess that means Kuzma's starting?

gotta start the kuz

kuzma is gonna get some open threes hes going to need to do better than 30% like last year

Wide Open 3PT%, 2018-19 (nearest defender 6+ feet away)

Caruso = 53.1%
Green = 51.3%
Cook = 49.6%
Daniels = 47.9%
Caldwell-Pope = 38.8%
Ingram = 38.1%
Dudley = 37.8%
Davis = 36.8%
Ball = 33.9%
Kuzma = 31.9%
Hart = 31.1%
Cousins = 29.2%

i can imagine worse versions of that lakers roster but they are thin at the 3/4

dam kuz shot worse than lonzo lol

Good thing their intracity rivals don’t have any quality 3s or 4s

omg what will they do all those 4 times they play them ?

Get swept 4-0

I think the correct answer is 'we'll find out'.

Damn, what a bold prediction

Correctly predicting the outcomes of future NBA games has no beneficial effect on my life, since I don't gamble. So I don't try.

Laker Nation, I’m dreaming about the 4th quarter Lakers team with LeBron, AD, Danny Green, Avery Bradley, and Kyle Kuzma. That’s almost unbeatable!

I almost want to poll banal magic analysis tweets but it’s too easy and too sorry

almost unbeatable.

almost.

Magic cannot contain himself. He should try harder.

that is a pretty good line up but i wouldn't call it unbeatable......

tbf he said "almost"

okaay

i guess there's just so many teams now looking to get anyone who isn't a rando g league player on the minimum

what's larry sanders up to

He’s in the big 3

I wonder if Vince Carter will be back?

He's still a Hawk!! Hands off!
