2020 nba offseason draft free agency etc

I think simmons is the more important player too but I would include him in a deal for harden if that was the line -- they need someone to take high volume 3s and that's never going to happen with both simmons and harden on the team. also simmons and harden is an awkward fit imo because you're not thrilled with either of them off the ball

well, i'd be thrilled w/ harden off the ball. not sure *he* would be thrilled tho

i think embiid it too embedded in the organization.

Harden can't just give up after giving the ball up. I know it's preseason but damn. pic.twitter.com/OiGplpWhG9

truly one of the weirdest players ever

seems like the rockets are really trying to do this

The Miami Heat are in trade talks to acquire James Harden, but the inclusion of Duncan Robinson is 'a major sticking point' in the Heat's pursuit of Harden.

you really could not invent harden's arch weirdness in every single way

anyone else doing league pass this year? is this "NBA TV add-on" new?? I don't remember seeing that before

Simmons > Embiid any day. Embiid is a big baby. He and Harden on the same team would be lols.

yeah i'm doing league pass but haven't actually logged in yet. what is the nba tv add on???

the spurs look as bad as the 96-97 team right now

plus side: devin vassell looks like the real deal

yeah i'm doing league pass but haven't actually logged in yet. what is the nba tv add on???

pay another 50 bucks to get NBA TV games, live NBA TV, and finals games from 2000-2020

argh those bastards, i would probably do that

I'm doing the premium. I have usually been able to log into my mom's cable provider account on the app and get NBATV to work I think

as i have moaned about many times there is no way for me to legally receive nbatv without getting a satellite dish. i guess the schedule will be different this year but in years past tuesdays are light on ball, nbatv sucks up the one decent game, and i haven't had a way to watch it.

This is what Anthony Edwards can look like on the defensive end when he's fully engaged. Quick feet, physical at 230 pounds, long-armed. Really nice 1-on-1 defense against one of the best players in the NBA. pic.twitter.com/ezzDcFWixj

got all the physical skills as they say

he just needs to find the disrespect in the game

the scheduled nbatv games aren't available with league pass unless you pay for it, so yeah. it's an additional 7 bucks a month but probably necessary.
BTW, it's cheaper to do this by the month than annually.

was ambivalent about hoops coming back all things considered but I forgot that ball is life and now I am pumped

lamelo ball is life

very cool that our no. 1 draft pick Anthony "Goose" Edwards became an NBA All-star today

wld be funny if all the top guys in this despised draft panned the ef out

that would be amazing

if you gaze into the nba...

real sad loss for Wolves fans, longtime Wolves play by play guy Tom Hanneman died today

back in the day it was him and pre-fame Kevin Harlan on the games, better broadcast team than the Wolves deserved

by all accounts a great guy

https://m.startribune.com/popular-fsn-brodcaster-tom-hanneman-dies/573431101/?clmob=y&c=n

yeah i'm seeing raves about the guy in sports media twitter. must have been an amazing booth with him and early harlan.

I was a wolves fan a long time ago, the first team I really liked. I would watch wolves games on league pass. And year after year the constant was Hanneman. Sometimes he was the sideline guy, sometimes the play by play guy, sometime in studio. And you got the sense that he had no ego about switching between roles, that everyone just loved him. So honestly this sucks.

nuggets are having fun out there

Nuggets really might have too many good players? Injuries tend to sort that out

Kyrie is the human embodiment of "this fuckin' guy"

BOSTON -- Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving says he plans to burn sage before every game this season to honor his Native American heritage.

Irving was seen burning sage -- which is known as "smudging'' -- on the court at TD Garden during warm-ups before his Nets beat the Boston Celtics 113-89 on Friday night in the NBA preseason finale for both teams.

feels kind of presumptuous to smudge other teams stadiums

he should do it at home tho during introductions just slowly walk out with a smoking smudge stick while everyone is getting amped up

there is footage of him smudging in the celtics thread btw

Any other ilhors want to do fantasy? We’ve got 7 and need one more to have a season. Draft is tomorrow night as of now.

o/ spottie

Not sure what that means?

hadn't seen the other thread. joined

o/ = hand raised

ronron 4 life

It’s so crazy to me. I literally pissed away a complete career and still walked away with A ring , citizenship award (lol) , third team all nba , multiple all defense teams, all star , DPOY while being depressed and putting in for retirement at 23yrs old. Lol
