2020 nba offseason draft free agency etc

i think you could build an awful team around ben simmons if you needed to, he might not like it tho

but with the new lottery odds even if you have the worst record you only have a ~50% chance of landing in the top 4, oops lol

rockets shd prob just kiss that pick goodbye and move on with their lives

i mean okc prob will miss the offs too so

Here is the roster in Milwaukee and staying under the hard cap:

Holiday (has unlikely bonuses that count)
Middleton
Bogdanovic at $14.65M
Giannis
Lopez
J. James
Thanasis
7 players on minimum contracts

are they aware that you do have to play more than 5 players?

i'm dying @ thanasis being on there

guys weve still got thanasis

yeah that roster is thin as hell...their best 5 will be really good tho

having only 7 guys might be good for Bud though

they shd get rondo

the warriors had like 6 or 7 real players the other year

They have to keep the other Antetokounmpo because the other Lopez opted for free agency

haa

wow that would be something. players might have to start their own league to get around that issue.

definitely cool if true

the fertita stuff feels like a real stretch to me. if the rockets were set up to be contenders none of them would be trying to break up the team bcuz of the owner’s political donations

yeah that roster is thin as hell...their best 5 will be really good tho

and that is a little moment we like to call "Thanasis Time"

xp it's a ric bucher report so it's made up, but still pretty funny to think about

i do support any and all news reports that portray tillman fertita as toxic regardless of their accuracy

insane if true

Sources around the league believe there is a “verbal agreement” between the Nets and Rockets that would bring James Harden to Brooklyn, and create a superteam with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.

That team won't have any drama at all. None.

also the nets cant even put together a half decent offer for harden, are hardens people just telling every other team that hell be a huge bitch if they trade for him

speaking of having a thin roster. what would they actually have besides those three?

Former first team all nba-er Deandre Jordan and this year's round of vet minimum ring chasers presumably.

it's especially weird if ppl seem to believe that giannis is re-signing... all the 2021 cap hoarders will need to pivot

👀

You typically don't see this unless a) something is up, and b) the something involves both the team and the player. https://t.co/NPMcqlW9EX

mb milwaukee shd make that deal lol

...take three "ready to contribute" guys

lol the celtics thing where after every big trade they leak that they were actually in on it too until the last minute is a good recurring comedy bit

the celtics have never offered less than 3 first round picks in any trade

its funny when they do make trades there are never 3 1st in there

rumors

The Rockets and Wizards have discussed a deal centered on Russell Westbrook for John Wall, sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium. No traction yet, Rockets are seeking more assets.

— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) November 17, 2020

yes hahaha yes

even if they just swapped im not sure who even wins that trade.

yeah that's just musical chairs

do the rockets think they can amnesty john wall? what is going on

the wizards would clearly win it seeing as they would be acquiring the player who isn't coming off of double bone spur removal/achilles tear surgery

interesting tone to some of this lesser tier reporting re the celtics...

The Boston Celtics reportedly wanted Jrue Holiday; “Danny Ainge was throwing Kemba at everybody trying to get the picks for Jrue Holiday.”

While the Nets & Sixers are believed to be frontrunners for James Harden, Boston Celtics are making a late push for Harden. They are trying to flip Kemba Walker and Gordon Hayward for picks and young assets that would appeal to Houston, frantically.

someone talking shit! lol

jeez poor kemba

who out there is dying to trade a cachet of picks for the 3/107 left on kemba's deal?

good luck danny

is broussard or bucher a worse source?

it's just really funny to me that gordon hayward looks like this... like a whisky obsessed barber from minneapolis started hooping
