2019 nba OFFSEASON news, rumors, drama, and recriminations

#tradebron

Wolves suddenly seem to have put Ryan Saunders deal on pause.... want Joerger so bad....

Joerger did do some head-butting in Memphis iirc so I wonder if Vlade's maybe not quite 100% to blame for the failure of their interpersonal dynamic.

i do wonder about joerger. apparently he has beef with young players. he may hate the wolves if thats the case.

joeger seems like a pain in the ass, but he can coach

maybe he's Scott Skiles 2.0, a guy who can deliver some on-court results but quickly wears out his welcome.

was thinking the same, doesnt seem like the right guy for the wolves moody millennials

Sources: The Memphis Grizzlies are firing coach J.B. Bickerstaff.

cleaning house

The Grizzlies dismissed coach J.B. Bickerstaff and reassigned GM Chris Wallace to a scouting capacity in the front office, league sources tell ESPN. VP John Hollinger will also move into a senior advisory role.

Bickerstaff seems like an assistant lifer

Larry drew and Cavs part ways

Haha I’d like to see the cap math on those two squads. I guess the knicks would be paying boogie in soup cans?

like walton out, ty lue and monty williams frontrunners

lmao

cmon

Jason Kidd also in the mix, i.e. thank you god

who is making these decisions???

it shd be kidd, i feel strongly

with all thats going wrong in the world its important to reflect on our blessings, the illustrious lakers have become the worst nba franchise

call me when they send Pelinka packing

kinda hilarious when sacramento is seen as an upgrade to LA

people may point to that as evidence against LeBron being the GOAT but i feel the opposite. xxp

call your senator and urge them to support he lakers hiring jason kidd in this dark time

bron for brow

str8 up

what can lebrown do for you

maybe the Lakers should give Thibs a call

one of the whiteboy youtube basketball celebs might actually be good

High-level Hoop Summit game with a monster showing from Nico Mannion. He was tremendous all week in practice also. Excellent blend of scoring instincts, passing feel, toughness at 6'3. Game comes easy to him. Have been really impressed with him at every stop since the U16 Euros. pic.twitter.com/DMDgE3akN2

Luke Walton to the kangz

that was fast

I like it

yeah good fit

Breaking news: Zion declared for the draft

need to see him on the hawks

traeon must happen

hmm hadn't thought of that but i'm all for it now

I will call up my spindly hairless friend Adam Silver and tell him what must happen.

need to see him on the suns so i can watch him is what im thinking. but come to thin of it that would mean ticket prices would rise... so i am ok with this hawks vision. just not the knicks they deserve nothing good.

wow rip, tough week for my biggest idols ellen and lebron

and just hours before taco tuesday too

i think in the celtics thread that it is now tacko twosday

thanks for clearing that up

Let me clear up the confusion. I do not believe there was any consideration for the consequences and ramifications of the tweet. I’m not discussing the substance. Others can talk About that.

I think the nuggz may have to start MPJ at the 3 even if he can’t guard the position. That jumper just looks too good

yeah...

Feels like Porzingis is absolutely going to tear his ACL again. Some pretty severe knee valgus going on even after rehab. pic.twitter.com/7O5QkT65dh

he and KAT both

i don't know what valgus is but i can tell its bad from the word

tendency to be knock-kneed

Maravich was pretty knock-kneed, always wondered if his catastrophic knee injury was related to that

I kind of love the Pacers (?)

i'm playing fantasy basketball for the first time in like a decade. do we have a thread for advice? Lonzo or Derrick White as my back up PG?

someone make an ILX league!

i think White is better in a roto league...Lonzo has better counting stats but terrible percentages, White is more efficient

yeah i guess i know what i'm getting with White, but Lonzo's still intriguing

Take Lonzo and punt FG%

Honestly lonzo’s percentages shouldn’t be a huge issue because his attempts will be low

Looks like White will get less minutes this season with Murray back

yeah lonzo could have a big year too...still, 437 career percentage from the line. he's better in a points league or head-to-head

I feel like stacking Lonzo with a center who’s good at the line is the play

Get Dejounte Murray instead of White imo

It really sucks that Hezonja can’t shoot

fantasy talk thread:

ILH Fantasy Talk

the preseason is hilarious. vince carter is on a 14-point heater and trying to own julius randle for some reason.

if vince is scoring, it means the season is begun
