2019 nba OFFSEASON news, rumors, drama, and recriminations

btw i got a new laptop that has twice the RAM as the old one and my mod powers have only increased, look out cyberbullies

that okc team strikes me as being to the west what the recent heat teams were to the east

*checks recent heat rosters to see if any good players have been on them*

kevin what are your findings, did u find the good players

there were a couple of young guys who did some stuff and an older point guard who was always hurt so...checks out

obv this okc team is much better tho

chris paul 18-19 was pretty comparable to goran dragic 17-18

anyway the point is that in the west that team is mayyyybe getting you into playoffs before you get a nice pat on the head at the end of a 4-1 playoff exit

chris paul will win a ring this year

but i don't understand why the thunder would trade paul george *and* russell westbrook just to have a different team that gets its butt kicked in round 1. i'd bet cp3 never even plays a minute for okc.

also possible

I mean if you get an essentially equivalent team with a huge stash of draft picks don’t you take that?

yeah they did it for the picks theyre rebuilding

im sure theyd trade cp3 if they cld, and adams, and anyone else

i'd feel kinda bad for cp3 who is now gonna spend the rest of his career enduring some rank mediocrity but the little bastard deserves it

yeah i mean karma u know

i always rooted for him to get a ring but sometimes u cant fight cosmic forces

also he is going to make like a quarter billion dollars or whatever

that too

He must feel like he got punched in the nuts

lol

its a shame that presti didnt know pg wanted out earlier

otm. thunder got the better end of this deal. crazy that the rockets have two mvps from the last three seasons and yet they got worse. the russ fit is really poor.

Punched in the nuts? Paul should talk to Steve Adams about that. Adams knows what that's like for real.

they shd just let russ drive the fast break and harden do halfcourt boom problem solved

pretty funny that cp had the cba altered to his benefit, and now the very same form of contract he set up is a millstone preventing him from being traded to a contender

xps
that should be the next state farm commercial. just cp3 saying, "sometimes, life sends you the unexpected" *cp3 is bumrushed and pummeled in the balls* *oscar from the office is here now* "hey bud, you ok" "yeah, thanks to my state farm 'everything including getting punched repeatedly in the balls' coverage" *struggling to regain breath* "like a good neighbor..."

unless they plan on keeping chris paul for the duration of his contract it would behoove them to trade him sooner rather than later

also if they're invested in the future and invested in SGA they need to move cp out of there

who wants to trade for him thoooo

MIAMI

ew

cp3 has prob produced >>> 350M in value tbh

mass entertainment via mass media produces weirdly tiered earnings opportunities for its practitioners.
