i have something to say about the offseason THE 2016 NBA OFFSEASON

he's not even old enough to be president I'm worried about steve kerr

Since taking the Cavs worked for me, I'll take the Indians in six or seven.

in a proud tradition of blowhard-ass cbs sports NBA writers, chris towers went IN with the brad stevens takes on twitter this a.m.

lol its funny to get all riled over whether hes the 3rd or 5th best coach, like yeah maybe

yeah nothin really wrong w his claims imo

brad is magical just to be clear

it's not the claim so much as the way in which it's made, which is as if he's responding to an overrating of stevens that doesn't actually exist among rational fans. like you wouldnt catch me saying stevens was as good as pop or carlisle or peak-wizardry SVG, or some such shit.

although, to be fair, i know that high- and medium-high-profile NBA writers' mentions are a maelstrom of homerism from all quarters, insults, bad takes etc, so if he was getting savaged by dumbasses with "617" or "jae crowder MVP" in their twitter handles/DNs, i can understand the urge to snark back. (this urge informs about 45 percent of matt moore tweets)

rn, as a blazer fan, if I had the chance to trade terry stotts for brad stevens, I'd think about it for a bit, but I'm pretty sure I'd stick to stotts, on the basis of his proven ability with these players. they are both in the upper echelon and nearly neck and neck over the past 3 seasons. also, terry is almost literally my next door neighbor. god knows what kind of stupid neighbor I'd get if he moved out.

hot scoop ovah heyah

For now, Mitch McGary is hoping to resume career in China or Europe, sources tell @TheVertical. Wherever he plays, he has issues to resolve.

counselor Woj!

haha

my god just let them toke the lai, i dont understand how the players let that shit in the cba

the suns just released archie goodwin

xp i wonder how hard they fight against this and what the terms are that the owners offer for removing it from the cba. the only reason it makes sense to remain is that ownership wants something the players don't want to give

I notice that Portland's second and third highest paid players, Alan Crabbe and Evan Turner, are unlikely to be starters when the season begins.

can we just nba

plz

I'm going to opening night tomorrow and not v psyched about it (100% bc of the person I'm going with, should be fun to see gobert in person)
