2018 NBA OFFSEASON

people here in phx idolize jerry but he's always looked like your typical shady rich guy to these trained eyes

this offseason is gonna be good

Haynes just said Ariza may take paycut to go GSW 😂 unreal

uhhhh no cmon

straight mercenary

props to ariza going 0-12 in game 7 so he could get out of the playoffs earlier to rest and work on his body for next season with the warriors.

He's already got a ring so I don't totally get it.

just rumors is all. but why not? join a great culture that fits your skillset. he's already made over 75 mill in his career.

is there an ILH NBA Hall of Fame thread?

if ariza isn't pumped to take another run at the dubs in a year that's a little disappointing

windhorst had an incredible line about bryan's rep in the nba that i've thought about a lot: "he isn't disliked, but he isn't well-liked"

when u prefer not to play for the kings

DeAndre Ayton says he won’t work out for teams other than Suns: ‘I know I’m going number one’ https://t.co/tN1SKQ8T4R

xp to spottie, i quite reasonably posted this on a thread about national party politics instead of this thread

thx clay!

celtics starting to make excuses for trading kyrie

Mannix: Celtics 'scared' that Kyrie Irving could leave in free agency next summer, possibly for Knicks https://t.co/jBeSYDvt6F pic.twitter.com/GQIk1gVd1R

favoring terry over kyrie and assembling a team comprised of entirely #2 options wld be the most danny thing ever

(tatum pretty clearly will be a #1 option sooner than later)

this would be a crucial step to bring in that lebron guy i keep hearing about

thats true they might be able to get "lebron"

getting lebron is kinda corny tho idk

wld like to see them roll w the main guys they have now unless they can get the brow or someone like that

getting lebron is kinda corny tho idk

lotta folks gonna have to slowly walk back their KD slick talk if lebron joins their team

well he wont be joining a team that se wins record

there a pretty big gulf between having curry vs horford as your best player before adding a mvp level free agent

don't think that's ever happened tho nor do I want it

*happening

celtics shd get curry

lebron's entire post-miami career has been/is going to be kind of hokey tbh

it's not his post Miami career if he goes back there makes u think

ok nevermind please delete that

man i think i want the hawks to take trae young with the third pick. I like the idea of building on him, taurean prince, and john collins.

trae young's measurables are pretty scary

Prediction: the Cavs will shop JR Smith hard this offseason and settle for whatever crumbs another GM offers for him. Extra irony points if it turns into a three-way deal involving the Celtics and some of Danny's hoard of second round picks.

The only way the Cavs can trade JR is if they bundle him with picks or an actually good player

jr smith has like $17 mil in guaranteed money; i'm normally of the mind that every contract is moveable but i might make an exception here

jr for ryan anderson

jr for ryan anderson

Casey hired as Pistons HC. 5 year deal

if everything comes together the pistons cld contend for the 8th seed for years to come

good for dwane getting those vet coach years!

still not sure if blake griffin is actually on the pistons, seems like a hoax

As for the NBA coaching front: Toronto has the final open vacancy -- Raptors assistant Nick Nurse and Spurs assistant Ettore Messina are widely regarded in league coaching circles as the two top contenders

— Marc Stein (@TheSteinLine) June 11, 2018

if they hire nick nurse a fun things for the players if they are tired and want to be subbed out wld be to just yell NURSE!

o shit lol burn

Brett Brown back at the mics.

What are he and Sixers looking for?

lol is that gary payton at the bottom and if so why isn't he jumping WHAT DOES IT MEAN

barkley's so tiny.

in Boris Diaw news: he's joined the French Navy!

apparently he's been training with them for a few summers, as the following video shows

https://youtu.be/LL5nwkz1TDE

now he'll be in the "citizen reserves", meaning he won't be deployed in case of war, but is rather a link between the military & civilians. But still, he got his official sailor's cap already! (still looking for a pic of that)

Nobody seriously considered Becky Hammon. Lame.

Lowe pod with Kerr was awesome
