2020 nba offseason draft free agency etc

72 total

taking the under on philly for yet another year

yeah i like the dubs over there

also the nets?

nets cld win 20 games, also 55

Hard for me to see the Lakers losing 25 out of 72 games

they cld take the reg season off tho

mem over imo

feel like the lakers just have too many good players to not have an easy path to the 1 seed

yeah over on lakers, under on philly are my picks

its stauskas

is it really

25.5 seems low for charlotte

yeah maybe. that'd be like 29 in a normal season

ball starts this month

BALL

I'm a little worried about this season. Cases are surging everywhere, there's no bubble anymore and with the Raptors moving there are now 3 teams in Florida. It was fun to point and laugh at the NFL for the snafu with the Broncos but it seems inevitable that the same issues will plague the NBA.

mb theyll buy some vaccine

essential entertainment workers

we really have hoops again this month?

feel like the month should columnated in some kind of holiday so we can celebrate

Happy Hoopsmas

my vote is they put this off til spring and since I am 51% of the league the measure is passed [gavel noises ring throughout the land]

they are making lebron wear the hat

I’m not sure a contract has ever looked more doomed than Malik Beasley’s in Minnesota

we've had worse

damn, malik pulled a delonte

lol oh shit hadn't seen the story jfc

eek lol

The treatment the Clippers gave Kawhi Leonard and Paul George rubbed some teammates the wrong way:

◾️ Kawhi and PG-13 had power over the practice schedule.
◾️ Kawhi lived in San Diego, which often made him late.
◾️ Teammates believed they could choose when they played.

i cant show up to practice i live in san diego you understand

pretty good drama in that article.

some pretty fascinating storylines going into this season. its weird that the lakers are the team with all the good vibes entering the season.

it's not weird ffs you just hate them

^gets it

no it is weird cos lebron usually brings plenty of drama!

but... point taken and im not denying it

yeah i can see the Lebron thing but he really is in the best possible situation so not a lot drama to be had

teams are usually in a good headspace after they win the chip lol

what i feel like goes mostly unremarked upon is how drama free the lakers were last year, iirc all of ilh was sure they were going to implode at some point via having a weird roster full of weird guys

Lol Kawhi you can’t be all I’m coming home to LA and live in San Diego, man. And the commute is really bad!

das alotta rosé baby

lol they added jr and dion and were still impenetrable, kudos. dwight, javale, markieff, rondo, jr, dion, all on the same team and it worked. altho only one of those are returning haha. when lebron has a team he believes in he turns into the greatest teammate. long ways from sitting on the bench biting his nails 7 seats down from all the baby lakers not so long ago.

solution is to move the clippers back to san diego

most drama free contract extension for Lebron iirc

move the clippers to... seattle

Lebron is a money-making machine for the entire NBA.

LiAngelo Ball is signing a one-year, non-guaranteed contract with the Detroit Pistons, sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.
