2020 nba offseason draft free agency etc

maybe i have..... maybe i have

i find these guys intriguing they have names that in a way are also shapes

Plenty of intriguing prospects still on the board as the Celtics' final pick approaches.

Grant Riller, Skylar Mays, Killian Tillie, Paul Reed, Devon Dotson, Ty-Shon Alexander and Cassius Winston are among the names still available.

lol thanks shams

im old lol

that classic moment when you remember the draftee's dad getting drafted

Been watching some Obi Toppin scouting videos and the gap between his offensive and defensive abilities is about the highest I’ve ever seen

I guess Monte Morris is getting traded, I’ll miss him

just catching up on the draft and learning that the celtics selected a man named Yam Madar

the names were off the charts this year

i wish my name were yam

I cry tears of laughter every time Stephen Jackson tells this story. He said Ron got to the locker room and said “do you think we’re gonna get in trouble for this?” 😭😭😭 https://t.co/zOWcNP0XMr

Precious Achiuwa was a personal fav. Obi Toppin and Killian Hayes are sweet names. We got two players named Cassius drafted b2b.

some quality alliteration too with:
– Justinian Jessup
– Payton Pritchard
– Tyrell Terry
– Leandro Bolmaro

some built in nicknames like:
– Jay Scrubb
– Immanuel Quickley
– Tyrese Maxey

Killian Tillie has some good assonance

The Knicks are really pushing it adding 6'3" guard Immanuel Quickley just a year after jettisoning 6'3" guard Emmanuel Mudiay

The Clippers now have a Luke, Lou, Lue, Zu, Du, and Oturu.

I think you mean Leandro Ballmaro.

RIP king

fuck that sucks shit

so sad, he seems like one coolest guys in the nba

of all the guys who shouldn't be sidelined for two years of their prime :(

dude worked all the way back from acl tear and was less than a month out from playing in competition again. two years with no splash bros in their primes is really painful man im so bummed. he was such an ironman too. f danny green for life.

wow that sucks. I guess there is nothing else to do but start rebuilding and trade steph curry to the nuggets

#freesteph

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

yeah that sucks. luckily the warriors are light years ahead so they'll put together another good team in no time

bahaha

Wow too soon ciderjerk

Just watched a clip of Windhorst explaining that the Bogdan contract debacle is actually just misdirection to skirt tampering accusations and repercussions (I guess a sign and trade can't officially be put together till free agency actually opens? Hadn't thought about it that way but that makes sense). Intel that Bogdan is excited to sign with the Bucks is supposedly accurate - this is is just their way of establishing plausible deniability that this trade was worked out before they were allowed to do so.

They really need to figure out some way to modify the tampering rules so that they more accurately reflect the reality of what all the teams are seemingly doing all the time. I have no idea what that would look like though.

Haven't noticed it discussed here, apologies for the redundancy if I missed it.

das a lot a oubre

Golden State tax bill is currently $66M

The addition of Kelly Oubre would see it increase to $134M

$14.4M of Oubre + $68M in taxes= $82.4M

eek (cld still do a sign n trade)

Celtics’ Gordon Hayward has opted out of his $34M deal for the 2020-21 season and will become a free agent, sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.

— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) November 19, 2020

probably wants to play for a team that needs him more

lacob really putting his money where his mouth is. hes always said hed do it but we're seeing it now.

Wave Papi!!
Just assuming Presti got 2 1sts in the deal at this point.

Chad Ford reported the same thing about the bogdanovic deal, he thinks the nba taking picks is on the table as punishment
