2019-20 NBA Regular Degular Season thread

make it bigger

Why 4-team trade may get bigger: Not enough time to complete a follow-up trade since physicals etc. won't be completed til after deadline. So have to stuff any business with newly acquired players/picks/exceptions into this deal.

My girlfriend is upset because Beasley was the hottest guy on the team in her opinion

just had an idea, since we'll never be good, I take over the Wolves and concentrate on building the best looking team in basketball

some gm starts making inexplicable moves and no one realizes what theyre doing until its too late

the handsome wolves

handsome devils

rip off their warmups stripper-style

nba shd have a devils team

las vegas devils lets make this happen

gotta bring back the short shorts

alternate name: Buffalo Bulges

short shorts are def on their way back saw a video of rob williams at practice in what mustve been running shorts the other day

players love the short shorts. i go to a lot of high school games and all the kids roll their shorts up at the waste and also tuck them in. a quick google search turned this up
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mo2UAxHbnXc

the rolling is weird the thing w showing the tag very high school type style

r the hs teams u see good

Spottie we should check out a game in da valley some time

yah. ive got one cousin whos a senior at M1llenium they made it to the state championship game last year and lost in the final game. Whole team is back tho so they should win. DaR0n H0lmes is their best player hes a junior and should be able to pick any d1 school he wants. they played sierra canyon (bron and wades kids school) a couple months back i got to see that. they were in it until the end.

my cuz is #3 cutter good hustler and on ball defender. no offers but i think he could walk on at a low end d1 school or mid major

my other cousin played at the same school graduated two years back and now plays for Nevada (#42). His little bro plays for Hillcrest prep so i see some of their games, he's not playing tho still too young and developing but he'll be at least 6'9"

sick

granny if they make the finals theyll play at ASU we could meet up if it works out.

cool

got a lot of talent in the fam!

yah its been fun following them over the last handful of years.

only hs game I've seen in AZ was Sedona vs Chino Valley. they looked and played like middle schoolers.

HS ball is still so bad. Even the good teams are hard to watch for much of the game. Went to a game last week that they won by 70 points.

Not having a shot clock is a complete joke. So many kids lacking basic fundamentals. Lotta meatheads that are better at football but play hoops to stay in shape, athletic but absolutely no finesse. lotta hoisting.

ugh the hoisting
I was pretty impressed by games I saw in IL, but that was some top tier talent. Specifically sought out the best players/teams. Saw Jabari as a sophmore lose to F Kaminsky in a tourney at UIC pavilion.

Nice. The AAU games are better than the high school games. Ive gone to a few of those but theres rarely a place to sit and the atmosphere is weird energy.

wld like to check out aau lol

HS ball is still so bad

I guess there just aren't 50,000 talented hoops coaches to spread around and the best ones get snatched up to the college level.

accurate

wld like to check out aau lol

just walk into basically any big sports complex in the summer and there will be tons of games going on

nice

The Jabari (Simeon) vs Kaminsky (Benet Xian Academy) was proof of the value of being well-coached. Simeon wayyyy more talented but Benet wayyyy better coached. Benet just fundamentaled them to death.

"knicks pursuing d'angelo russell" yes please

good idea to fire your gm right b4 the deadline

poor horf made the wrong choice

Al Horford asked if players need to called out:"There's some stuff going on in our locker room, and we'll keep that internal"

I gotta go to Oakland v Tech someday ... Marshawn's hs vs Lillard's. I'm sure the games are unwatchable though.

lol most horf call out ever

Woj ended this segment by calling LA an 'arms race' right now between the Clippers and Lakers trying to acquire Marcus Morris.

— Tomer Azarly (@TomerAzarly) February 5, 2020

man if any of these contenders have some spare contracts laying around might want to take a look at horf

idk where phillys head is at obvs but you gotta think theyre at least considering getting out from under that contract

they just need shooters and more shooters

I gotta go to Oakland v Tech someday ... Marshawn's hs vs Lillard's. I'm sure the games are unwatchable though.

you should!

was Redick too expensive?

Ainge has gotta still be paying Horford somehow.

horf rip up the contract and come back to boston where u r loved

If i recall they didnt make an offer on redick? might be wrong on that.

harris imo. some ugly dudes on the squad tho

when are more trades

ask woj

woj when are more trades

this guy cld help a team

The Suns are fielding trade calls on Kelly Oubre with 22 hours and change to go before the NBA trade deadline, league sources say
