2019 nba OFFSEASON news, rumors, drama, and recriminations

TIM DUNCAN IS GONNA BE AN ASSISTANT UNDER POP AWWWW MY DADS

How long before Manu joins up, too?

lots of bad ideas in here https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/27243621/inside-tense-nba-owners-meeting-change-free-agency

Nice to see the owners at each other's throats because some of the members of the cartel broke their compact in order to get a competitive advantage over the rest.

"these days" lmao i remember him from the xbox days he's always been matt foley

Well of course there’s always

I spent an hour in a hotel room with Ballmer, Seamus Blackley and a couple other writers before the launch of Xbox and I can assure you he is exactly the same in person. was kind of exhausting

"hey guys we're making BAGEL BITES DO YOU WANT SOME BAGEL BITES"

Pau Gasol signed a one-year with the Blazers. I think they brought him in to protect Zach Collins from getting mentored by Whiteside.

lol

that is 100% the case bc he cannot play anymore

Have you guys talked about how good Anthony Bennett was in the g league and how exciting this opportunity with the rockets could be? I honestly had no idea until a week ago. He was really good!

no! but that sounds cool! really, im always stoked when former lottery busts figure something out. thomas robinson was trying to get back in the league through the spurs summer league team this month and had some skills.

has any bust on anthony bennett's level ever had a second wind worth anything? hasheem thabeet is trying to come back too!

if they get really, really, really lucky he's the next gerald green

The only player comparable to Bennett is Fultz.

I mean he was REALLY good in the g league. A true shooting percentage of 72%. From where he was at it’s already a great story.

then there's this other thing called 'regression to the mean'

fultz isn't really comparable to anyone tbf

Jordan Spieth 2016 masters

lol ouch

greg oden wants to talk to you guys

Injuries =/= bust imo. Kind of another thing

I play pick up at fultz’s high school gym now. Kinda waiting for to start showing up honestly

Last year I watched Bennett get ejected from a Canada-China game for pushing a dude over

Oof. That's too bad.

Fitz is the Sean Hannity of basketball

Otm. Gonna have to watch opponent feeds this year.

Blast from the past! Jim Barnett played for the Trail Blazers in their inaugural season as an expansion team. He started at PG opposite Geoff Petrie as SG. I remember it like it was, holy shit, almost 50 years ago.

He's fantastic in the booth, too.
