2019 nba OFFSEASON news, rumors, drama, and recriminations

KEVIN DURANT WHY DO YOU BOTHER GETTING INTO AN INTERNET BEEF WITH CHRIS FUCKING BROUSSARD

lol

hey at least CB has a following he's usually beefin with random twitter eggs and such.

But Harden and Paul had tense moments with one another throughout Game 6, culminating in a verbal back-and-forth postgame that went into the locker room, sources with knowledge of the situation told The Athletic. Sources said the verbal exchange between Harden and Paul was regarding the ball distribution throughout Game 6. By the time the remainder of the locker room was ready to talk, Paul and Harden had gone their separate ways, with Paul swiftly making his way to the postgame podium. The Rockets dispensed with exit interviews this year, so the media hasn’t been able to ask Paul or Harden about the disappointment.

chris paul wearing out his welcome on a team that lost in the second round... you don't say...

lol :(

can't wait for mike d'antoni to not do anything about this and for the team to have the exact same problems.

The NBA has announced its All-NBA teams. By being named to one of the three teams, Damian Lillard is now eligible for four-year, $191 million extensions this summer, and Kemba Walker is eligible to sign a five-year, $221 million deal as a free agent July 1. No Beal or Thompson.

“From what I understand, [LeBron] has already begun the recruiting process. I’ve heard he has had contact with Kawhi Leonard. I’ve heard he’s had contact with Jimmy Butler.”

He’s going hard

desperation

What’s up guys

man bucks are in a weird spot. middleton, lopez, brogdon, and mirotic are all FAs.

george hill could be, too. if they wanna keep this team together, theyre gonna have to go into the luxury to do so imo. gotta feel like the experience this year gets them closer to the finals next year, esp if kawhi leaves. but dang its gonna be a tough call on some of these.

also lololol bucks are paying larry sanders until 2022, what a legend

would love to see Brogdon stay but I feel he's gonna get a big offer elsewhere

dan gilbert hospitalized with stroke symptoms

: /

no way pelinka has a job as the lakers gm much longer right?

guess well see just how crazy the lakers ownership is

before that article didnt even think of the fact that they hired two guys who had no front office experience to run the team, weird guys too

I'm guessing Lopez is gonna sign and the team will pursue Brogdon. not sure if they can afford Middleton if they're gonna supermax Giannis. idk...as much as I wanna believe there's a bright future for the Bucks its hard to ignore that 3 of their 5 starters are FAs, one is going to be supermaxed, and the other they are probably overpaying for, especially since he's been awful in 2 straight playoff runs. they don't have draft picks nor young talent. I don't know how they get better.

Giannis learning to shoot would be a start.

Magic Johnson says the Lakers right now need to ‘get out the news’. He says this is the last time he will be talking about the Lakers until free agency and his First Take appearance in July. pic.twitter.com/Zc2sQYRXp8

that last video, with magic's "do you think jeannie would let me abuse employees" (YES!) reeks of self-entitlement
also magic's socks are a travesty

Can't we all just leave Magic in the dirty clothes hamper, close the lid, and walk out of the house for a while? It's the healthy choice!

Sources: In calls to front offices, Houston GM Daryl Morey is showing an aggressive desire to improve roster with all players and picks available in talks. Hard to imagine James Harden scenario, but the rest under contract - perhaps even Chris Paul - could be moved in right deal.

yeah cos that 40 million + per year through 2022 is so easy to trade

I've seen rockets fans dreaming of getting AD for Gordon/Tucker/picks.

ppl who are fans of teams but not the nba generally are funny

harden for lebron straight up

If the fucking lakers end up with CP now after all this shit !!!! Wtf ? I won’t post in ilh ever again

The lakers deserve Chris Paul

Still waiting for the banana boat to materialize.

lakers trading for cp3 wld be truly masterful

lol clippers trying to buy the claw logo for their kawhi pitch

Included in the column is word that the Clippers looked into the seemingly impossible task of buying the rights to Kawhi's "Klaw" logo still owned by Nike to enhance their forthcoming free-agent pitch to Leonard. Read on for more: https://t.co/U0yQm53WKR
