2018 NBA OFFSEASON

oh oops wrong thred lol

idk its possible to learn how to pass, its the last skill a lot of very good players develop

idk i'm dubious. ayton is a complete animal and i'll think he'll be pretty great but i wouldn't take him #1 and i think bamba could be better.

bamba is reaaally raw in all the areas youre concerned abt ayton tho

bamba feels like he was maybe made for an nba of a couple innovation cycles ago, when tyson chandlers roamed

its funny how good marcus smart is at running the pick and roll when u dont really have to guard him

mavs are gonna draft bamba and pretend it's 2009

offensively maybe but defensively he looks like could be the ideal pace and space big

i think ayton could be KAT-ish in being elite on offense pretty early but still lost and bad on defense 3 years in

lol bron started complaining abt a foul call while he was still grabbing onto monroes arm

oops

yeah. take it to the thread where dreams go to die.

let's talk about bron, baby

where is lebron james playing basketball in 2019?

So an exact copy of KAT then

ayton is more physically impressive than KAT fwiw

kat weirdly has a bunch of unathletic traits duck footed bad posture does not have a thick jacked frame

same tbh

yeah that's what i mean

ayton is a physical specimen it's true but his defense at arizona was pretty alarming

yeah but sometimes guys just dont do some things good in college and it turns out to not be a big deal, but then sometimes it is a big deal

college basketball is weird and bad and the coaching is bad

Anybody know much about Bagley? Looks like the Hawks are p high on him

super active has a good scoring knack/general basketball awareness but maybe be lacking in some necessary nba fundamentals unclear which position(s) he can defend

Hmm. Not sure how he’s gonna fit with Collins. The Jackson Jr kid could be a defensive stud, but he’s more of a gamble

feel like hes one of those guys who cld get to the nba and just set it off cause hes a natural baller and everyone will be oh of course, but he cld also be one of those guys who has a lot of talent but never quite clicks idk

def cld be a weird fit next to collins

bagley might still be growing

yeah that's what i mean

haa

• The Kings made that jump only because they lost a "coin flip" (actually a separate drawing) in April with the Bulls. Had that coin flip gone the other way, Chicago owns the four-number combination in question and is picking No. 2. Atlanta similarly won Tuesday night by losing a coin flip with Dallas, which fell to No. 5.

yeah i had no idea they flipped for number combos!

its all about the combos baby!

what the christ

If the machine in which the balls bounce breaks down, the NBA has a contingency: dump all 14 balls into a basketball with a hole cut out of the top. A league official closes that hole, shakes the basketball, opens it up, and picks out the balls.

they shd just do it that way

it’s objectively better because they use a ball. a basketball.

im sayin, also what if they drop it and all the balls fall out driving the assembled team reps wild

"They always hooked me up ... then I called up one night and they said it would be $7,800. I was like, 'Oh, um, why is this the first time you guys are charging me?' They said that you should have thought of that before you went on The Jimmy Fallon Show. I was like, 'Wow, this is real.' I've apologized many times to try and get my seats again."

lmao

haha they are both babys

quitting a team cause they wont give you free 10g seats anymore is perfect celebrity behavior

also thinking theyre your seats

think of all ethan hawke has given us i mean who would we be w/o the work of ethan hawke

id prob do the same thing if i was dolan

i wld ban ethan hawke then find further ways of antagonizing him, i wld imply that if he attended a concert of my blues band he cld get back in my good graces, i wld make him hang out backstage with me then never give him tickets anyway

diabolical

Mike Budenholzer has reached an agreement to become the Milwaukee Bucks coach, league sources tell ESPN.
