2019 nba OFFSEASON news, rumors, drama, and recriminations

like honestly this pelicans team looks way more interesting than literally any anthony davis team prior to

yeah they totally failed at building anything around davis, nbd now theyve got zion lol

Lonzo will make 4+ all star teams in his career imo

that seems generous unless he becomes zion's Important Sidekick

Lonzos injury history is more concerning than his shot imo

this guy is frickin ridiculous

I don't think it's possible to pack the paint more than this. This stops Ben Simmons. It might even stop Giannis. It does not even come close to stopping Zion. You just can't prepare your brain for how fast he is. pic.twitter.com/Mjlt6fuwFS

Right before, Breen mentioned Zion's "uncanny ability to finish around the rim". Uh yeah.

i question the nets #2 ranking

1 minute into the game, Kyrie Irving leaves the game after getting hit in the face by Rondo.

i do not believe in the kd kyrie pairing. it's not better than the kd russ pairing and i dont think their surrounding pieces are as good as those okc teams. plus kd may only be 85% of what he was which wont cut it.

2 mercurial dudes who both think they're the best player on the team is not a recipe for surefire success

One guy believes the earth is flat. One guy has 47 Instagram burner accounts. Can these two crazy zoomers “follow back” and discover the chemistry that will never be canceled?

(cues up the Odd Couple theme music)

Michael Porter Jr looks good but I’m pretty sure he shouldn’t play small forward.

hes an elite shooter moves well etc shd be a good player, not sold on his off the bounce game thooo

imagine he will be a 4 but wldnt blame the nuggs for brining him along slowly until hes ready for that physicality considering his injury and age

He’s bigger than I thought and seems like a strong rebounder. Considering his injury history I’d rather have him be a stretch 4 than chasing around smaller guys. But I guess long term either he or Grant needs to play the 3 some.

so stoked about both those dudes

Zion's at 71 points on 38 fga in the preseason.
A bit good.

dude it’s insane, he’s going to tear this league up

i agree he is a bit good

a bit good

more like "a big god"

I know it's preseason but those baskets over Gobert were hella impressive.

this sixers team is one of the oddest ever assembled

their best 3 players shd all be centers

their 4th best player shd be a pf

and their 4th best player is a borderline allstar!

the talent is there...... but the fit.....

they should look into, "guards"

trade simmons for guards IMHO, let ben flourish at his natural position!

was thinking they cld trade him for mccollum but it doesnt work salerywise and hes better

wonder if teams will be able to beat them just by swinging the ball around the perimeter

one wld think a big trade is coming for them

speaking of which i just read this an am kinda upset now

And what about if he’d known Kemba Walker was coming. Horford paused.

“I don’t want to get caught up in the past,” he said, “but, yeah, that would have been totally different.”

Josh Richardson was such a good Pickup for The 76ers.

otm

They’re gonna really miss redick and shamet tho. I imagine they will be looking hard for shooters In trades or buyouts. Those lineups don’t make sense unless they have some spacing. Their starting 5 might be the best in the league but it’s pretty dire after that.

free ben

i wld say the celtics shd trade for him but he doesnt have the correct mindset

btw imagine the open looks shamet is gonna get this year my lord
