2021 nba offseason draft free agency etc

one of these teams is eventually going to have to step up and offer something

tho im sure at this point theyre happy to see how far the simmons-philly relationship can degrade

Yeah, it's messed up for sure. Simmons also has pressure to come back and show that those playoffs were a fluke. I don't think he really wants to hold out too long.

i'd bet simmons career peaked 1-2 seasons ago

I wouldn't bet against that.

i think he still has superstar potential... at the center position

large athletic draymond, think about it

whatever

Will be for just the veteran’s minimum. Millsap wants a ring. https://t.co/ur8Ll6333K

This is going to be interesting:

Teams in NYC and SF will have to comply with those cities' vaccination mandates.

Seven-time NBA All-Star LaMarcus Aldridge has been cleared to play again, passing all of the necessary tests, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. The Nets are leaders to sign Aldridge, sources said.

2 of the 3 of Blake, Millsap, and LMA have to end up end-of-bench regular DNPs, right?

I think this is the perfect moment for Udonis Haslem to part ways from the Heat and sign with the Nets

yeah thats a lot of old power forwards

blake was really pretty solid for them but they seem to be putting a lot on claxton for rim protection

it should be said that it's a good thing that LMA is okay to play!

why would you wish that on him he's had a hard enough job the past 20 years

draft pop, sorry pop

im watching mavs clips game 7 btw, pretty good

the amount of foot-shooting from philly is really astonishing

Honestly surprised I haven't heard Morey use the term "diamond hands" in public at this point.

ESPN Sources: Brooklyn is trading C DeAndre Jordan, four future-second round picks and $5.78M to Detroit for Jahlil Okafor and Sekou Doumbouya. Pistons plan to work through a buyout on two-years, $20M owed Jordan; Nets will save $47M in salary and tax on deal.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) September 3, 2021

hmm so that answers what the new detroit front office thinks of sekou.

4 picks and $6 million to dump deandre huh

Memphis has agreed to trade forward Juancho Hernangomez to Boston for guards Kris Dunn, Carsen Edwards and a 2026 second-round pick swap, sources tell ESPN.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) September 3, 2021

lmao at FOUR future 2nd rd picks... to have been a fly on the wall for that negotiation

Damn I haven't thought of Okafor for a long time, remember the hot debate of whether the Wolves should take him or KAT

lolll

Upon formal completion of a buyout with the Detroit Pistons, center DeAndre Jordan intends to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers, sources tell ESPN. Jordan would have to first clear waivers to become a free agent.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) September 3, 2021

Lakers are going to need at least 3 banana boats at this rate.

deandre should tick the average age of the lakers roster to 32 from 31 lol

I don’t really understand why the Lakers don’t just roll with Marc Gasol. They’re better with him on the court. But they seem really stuck on this.

there just seems to be a weird vibe there, like he doesn't really like the lakers and they don't really like him.

repped by caa on a klutch team, smh

Rename them The LA Klutch.

now this is going to be fun

It’s kinda annoying because Marc would be a perfect backup with the Nuggets

yeah true they could just run the same offense they should try to get him

Apparently they really wanted Boban if the Mavericks had moved on from him

Dreading this

Season one of “Curious Mike,” Porter’s interview-style podcast, was born out of the handful of times he waded into sensitive topics like George Floyd’s death and the COVID pandemic on Twitter and Snapchat, respectively. https://t.co/3mVXPrQbJb

lol no thanks

just mike, a curious guy, asking some questions

wow maybe you guys aren't ready to think for yourselves and form your own opinions

Haha oh boy. First guest Ethan Strauss?

Does no one in his life care about him enough to tell him this is a bad idea?

Just getting started in the crypto game...y'all got any advice??

maybe he's getting into cryptozoology

finally watched malice at the palace and…it was dumb

yeah? i was on the fence about whether i should bother.

I’ve seen nothing but fawning reviews but I’m not sure what the doc adds to the story that we didn’t already know. it does feature a tim donaghy interview, and does its best to allow artest to rehab his image

yeah it was very well-documented at the time and i'm not positive that it has many lasting effects if i'm being honest? feels like a time capsule that i don't really want to open.

artest is that guy we all know who does shitty things and will continue to do shitty things, but has been to therapy and knows enough therapy-speak to fool some people. a convicted abuser, for the record

i enjoyed some of stephen jackson's interviews but the whole thing was pretty cut-rate
