2021 nba offseason draft free agency etc

i'm supposed to be prepping for a meeting but now i'm trying to figure out what kyrie trade is out there lol

maybe i'm overreacting but i just feel like simmons is a negative playoff player until proven otherwise

also for all the worry about the nets defense, it definitely wasn't an issue vs the bucks. maybe that's just cuz the bucks kinda play a clunky grind it out style in the playoffs but their defense didn't seem like a fatal flaw. maybe that's also bcuz they didn't have kyrie, harden, KD on the floor at once so they were a bit more tilted towards defense. but if i were them i'd just stay put

yeah the nets defense was fine, much better than i thought, but still kyrie is pretty redundant behind kd and harden and hes and injury prone lunatic, and nets would be the perfect fit for simmons he could just be large draymond

i mean the nets org must absolutely hate him, just not showing up to games is generally frowned upon in the nba, so much so it hardly ever happens, when was the last time a major guy was awol, rodman on the bulls?

well the sixers putting the fate of their franchise in kyrie’s hands would be hysterical

im saying its an interesting idea from many angles

I think Kyrie is a certified lunatic and I would trade Simmons for him in 2 secs.

yeah i mean philly isnt getting anyone else nearly as good

well the sixers putting the fate of their franchise in kyrie’s hands would be hysterical

This is an underrated and hilarious timeline, agreed. If it ever happens, I'm gonna have to believe that the Sixers org has been optimizing for dangerously high blood pressure among talk radio callers all along and everything else has been secondary.

good idea if so

@JakeLFischer to @hmfaigen in the Halftime app: Rich Paul was telling other agents at the Chicago combine that LeBron and AD were sliding to the 4 and 5

Look you just gotta hope Kyrie shows up to your games and focus on everything else

yeah i agree

only took bron and AD 19 and 12 years respectively to finally come to that decision xp

Lakers favorites again if they stick to that (and Bron looks like himself again)

crazy to have two top contenders be such huge injury question marks

tbf like most major players have seemed that way in the last couple years (except giannis)

That makes a lot of sense for AD and Lebron, but do the Lakers really have the guards and wing players to cover all those minutes?

its not like they have viable centers either

they'll prob still play lots of dwight and deandre in the muck of the regular season

Where does Carmelo play?

“Mask off” means
You stop being something you’re not and stop lying to yourself. It’s the moment you discover the real you and can walk around with NO FEAR in a society that shows a lot of the masks people wear to hide who they truly are.

lol

haa

<3

to be fair to kyrie ppl *did* use the phrase "mask off" in this way after the future song came out. that having been said, perhaps he should consider the general concept of context, just as a rule of thumb

it would be a hell of a time to start

when i said the earth was flat i meant earthlings have flat and unnuanced interpretations of ideas that are too often more complex than we would like to admit as a society

he's like one of the girls in this story

“Life is weird,” she added, laughing.

hey she's not wrong

and then proceeded to break your ankles with a wicked crossover

coach nick agrees simmons should play center

Not giving me a lot of confidence in Doc either.

Isn’t Ben kinda bad at posting up

the sixers tanked for three seasons in order to draft 4 centers you gotta love it

Well, and Fultz, an consensus #1 pick who ended up a weirdo, too.

an

Fultz, a consensus #1 pick

the genius man who drafted gerald green

14th pick played 13 years, prob slightly above average outcome

anyway obvs the celtics did not see fultz as a #1 pick

the celtics not seeing fultz as a #1 pick doesn't contradict "Fultz, a consensus #1 pick". the move by the celtics supports and was banking on the idea that "Fultz, a consensus #1 pick" was true.

you just like to post pictures of that man

ill have to look up what consensus means i dont have time right now

haters gonna hate
