2019 nba OFFSEASON news, rumors, drama, and recriminations

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUyEgTCyM88

that 247 sports link is terribly written and explained, so i remain unconvinced they can get another max deal. a lot of it hinges on including a third team who would basically be gifted two or 3 of the remaining lakers which other than kuzma i dont understand who'd want to indulge in this shit

*other than for acquiring kuzma

xp if they attach a 2nd rounder to it why not.

and it all still seems like it revolves around Brow not taking the 4 million dollar trade kicker. which uh if he doesnt take that then klutch sports is putting that money in his pocket by some other means...

Y’all seen any Hawks rumors? I heard Kevin Love and the 5th pick for the Hawks’ 10 and 17 pick. Assuming another big contract is involved.

Maybe Bazemore?

i heard they tried to package 8 and 10 for the 3 and the knicks said no lol

they definitely dont want three first rounders, though

Yeah I saw that same offer was still out to the Pels for the 4th pick. I think they really into Culver.

i havent seen any hawks stuff im still bummed they didnt zion

welp

Major change in the Al Horford situation:
Per source close to Horford, his side is no longer discussing a new 3-year deal to stay with the Celtics. He is expected to sign a 4-year free agent contract elsewhere...
Story to come.

no bluecheck, aint buying it

hes real

oh ok

wow celtics fans gotta feel shitty, that team is going south fasssst

man thats wild and huge did kyrie really ruin these guys or what

oh god i just had a terrifying vision of al and kawhi going to the clippers and yiiiikes defensive rating of 12 over there

they shd do that tbh sounds p good

horford is a good fit on any team

i like the clips tho and tbh if kyries not coming back theres no reason to stay in boston he shd be on a contender for the end of his prime

prob not too many teams that cld pay him and be a contender too

celtics youth movement i guess lol yeeeeeesh *boston accent* what a friggin disastah

tho honestly that team really tested my resolve to care abt them

maybe the nuggets dont pick up millsaps contract and bring on horf instead?

o wow woj saying they didnt want to pay him

Boston and Al Horford had discussed contract scenarios, but the gulf is too great for sides to believe they can close on a new deal now, league sources tell ESPN. Horford is prepared to enter the free agency to find a three or four year deal elsewhere.

hof wld be an absolutely great fit in denver

There’s no one that deserves a championship by signing the vet minimum with the warriors more than big Al

heez thx for being my friend

lol

warriors should sign kobe to the minimum imo

its nuts, the Celtics looked to be set up so well for the long run...they had Kyrie, they had great young players, they had a zillion draft picks...and it all fell apart in less than 3 years

just shows u how dangerous bad vibes are

feel like the only team where this kinda makes sense is milwaukee. eric beldsoe was exposed in the playoffs and CP3 would be a good facilitator for giannis. but yeesh.

Milwaukee's front office is too smart to do this (that contract would absolutely murder them), besides as bad as Bledsoe was, he at least played

hearing rumors that Middleton is gonna re-sign which is nice. the one I'm really wondering about is Brogdon. he'd be a good fit on any team honestly

lmao i respect it tbh

Wow. Gottlieb says Kyrie Irving walked up to Brad Stevens before a film session and said, “What does the word government mean to you” upon Brad saying “good morning”

next year's team is already testing my resolve lol.

i never understood why al was supposed to just go back to boston. there's too many other teams with better situations that can pay him.

As a Cavs fan, I am greatly enjoying the end of the Kyrie era in Boston.

kyrie's bosto tenure is exactly how i wished kawhi's toronto year went lol

👀

first reply is good

i have serious levels of kyrie fatigue dude needs a new schtick

kyrie is good

what happens if he terrorizes another team hes gonna end up on the kings

I decided the rockets should stretch provision CP and pay him until 2028

Also the lakers kinda have to take a flyer on Melo right?

i just spent like 5 minutes workshopping lamelo ball jokes but couldn't find a good one

id be nary about a big deal for horford, 33 is old for a center and he just got torched by giannis

wouldn't be a problem for him if they were teammmates

surely the bucks would sign kris and malcom first

would love to see it but with Giannis almost certainly getting supermaxed & Bledsoe already under contract I wonder how much $$$ they'll really have to spend

they have enough to keep middleton, brogdon, and maybe brook from what i have seen
