2020 nba offseason draft free agency etc

i mean, joel himself agrees with me lol. go read his comments about jimmy butler

No

Imagining scores of Philly dudes with fake Harden beards and it is not a pleasant vision imo

philly rappers have a big head start wrt beards

Mike D’Antoni and Ime Udoka are finalizing deals to become assistant coaches under Steve Nash with the Brooklyn Nets, sources tell ESPN. Together, D’Antoni and Nash were the architects of the Seven Seconds or Less Offense with the Phoenix Suns in the mid-2000’s.

this is weird

very weird. would be exciting if it was a team that didn't have 2 guys who will want to do their own thing rather than run a designed offense

i actually kind of like it for mike dan tony, way less pressure to perform as an assistant, can just vibe and do offense things

this nets situation has gotten just weird enough that i think im rooting for them now

if they were a west team i'd be on board, alas,

yeah i mean they cld threaten the celtics their upside is big, but theyre prob a year away if it ever happens considering kd is coming back from the worst injury and their roster doesnt really fit their stars, the biggest question around that team tho even more so than the difficult personalities is kyries health he hasnt shown much ability to stay on the court and even less to be fully healthy

If KD is at near 100% seems like they have to be a factor

Into it

Presuming there is an nba in 2021

If KD is at near 100% seems like they have to be a factor

never happens 1st year back from a major achilles injury tho, usually never happens at all, kds ceiling is prob 80% of what he was before and we wont see that til year 2

1st time coach toooo...

idk i dont think its out of the question that they click catch fire and get in the zone i just think its not likely

new roster too
bad personalities
have to play on a team called the nets which is not an inspiring name

its too bad the name kings is already taken that would be good for them (kings county) (same thing as brooklyn)

then they cld use basquiats lil crown on their terrible alternate uniforms

new roster too
bad personalities
have to play on a team called the nets which is not an inspiring name

has some 2020 clipppers vibes. adding two all stars (one being a top five player in both scenarios) to a pretty cohesive scrappy team that has already made the playoffs without them. there's already some weird competition stuff that happens before anyone even meets and these guys are arguably weirder and full of more headgames than kawhi/pg.

i guess they were both on the team last year tho, lol. but... were they really... ON the team? no one can say.

having a competitive-on-any-night team that could go past the first round in the finals would be good enough for ny quite frankly

if you want to win a title, you got to get the entire 04-09 phoenix suns on your coaching roster

otm

haa

Dirk Nowitzki in Game 1 of the 2011 Western Conference Finals;

48 PTS - 12/15 FGM - 24/24 FTM

One of the most underrated playoff performances in recent memory. 🔥🔥pic.twitter.com/ELrJksSGyn

Lagoon, you are a saint among men for jolting me out of obsessively tracking politics threads with something as beautiful and soothing as Dirk in his element hitting fadeaway after fadeaway. A thing of beauty.

tough night for serge

crazy they were fouling him so much and then he also hit all the shots where he wasnt fouled

what is the meaning of “underrated” in that tweet

have to ask hoop central

yeah it's an awesome statline and should be celebrated but i'm not sure how much rating we need to do of a game 1 of a conference finals that went 5

I guess it’s long enough ago now that people forget what the 2011 playoff run from dirk was like

Underrated ok those type of content accounts just means “we haven’t talked about this person in a while” to me.

*on

Some similarities to Jokics shot

The play-in tournament proposal has coalesced around the structure ESPN first reported was gaining traction in early 2018: a four-team tournament among the Nos. 7, 8, 9 and 10 seeds for the final two playoff spots in each conference. https://t.co/TDQIuQONvF

i think the players will fold on the december start issue, just like they did on the bubble. if anything money talks more to the players than it does to the owners

i don’t see a way around it, guessing they are negotiating escrow and some other minor things.

amazing how much of the reporting is focused on the play in tournament. is it really that important in the grand scheme of things?

i think the big question is how play in games will be shown in bballref, like are they playoff games or reg season?

The New Orleans Pelicans are openly discussing star Jrue Holiday in trade talks and several contending teams are pursuing, sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.

type of player who could put a team over the top

denver, milwaukee, philly all gotta at least kick the tires

bucks make a ton of sense not sure they can put a great package together tho

wld have to be something like donte bledsoe and likely lame picks that would turn valuable if giannis leaves

i'm surprised there isn't more discussion about kyle lowry trades... 1 year/30 million and i'd rather have him than jrue. i know the raptors want to contend again but i also think they could be persuaded w/ an offer that is commensurate to what it will take for jrue

id rather have jrue but yeah teams shd be looking at kyle

coincidentally, he's a great fit on a team that has giannis

seems like the raps would want to restructure a longer deal with kyle but idk
