2019 nba OFFSEASON news, rumors, drama, and recriminations

yeah wonder what PG and Russ are thinking. Adams is such a big part of what they do.

as i have stated before i wld like steven adams to be on the celtics

boston, NOLA, portland all interesting possible landing spots

hes only 25 seems like a 15 year vet at this point

yeah that's a guy yiou "want on your team"

still think he can average like 15 rebounds a game away from russ

cld score more too just off getting dunks in the pnr

dame/adams p-n-r would be p rowdy

not sure he fits w/ nurk but also not sure nurk is playing this year. all pdx has to give up is a buncha awful expiring deals which no one cares about that anymore

aw yeah forgot about nurk

haha well you gotta see if the Knicks will bite, irresponsible not to

Problem with Adams is he’s overpaid, 22nd highest salary in the league next year as of right now. Obviously he’ll fall in those rankings after free agency but honestly he shouldn’t be in the top 50 probably

i dunno he's pretty good

i'd be wary if the thunder are really open to moving him. he already seems like someone who is going to have a short career.

why? he's been v v healthy (he's only missed 25 games in SIX YEARS) and he's only 25! he's a stout defender who inhales rebounds (his numbers are artificially low since he's deferring so many to russ) and is a crazy efficient scorer. that contract is def rich, but it's only two years left on it then you've got his bird rights at age 27. celtics were gonna pay more than that for al horford who is similarly productive and is 33.

yeah

thunder r just trying to get under the cap

I think Horford is way way better than Adams but point taken about their ages

yeah

i think adams will be better over their respective next contracts

possible

or the rest of his contract vs horford's next i mean

yeah, thats what i was getting at. horf is a more versatile defender, but will he be at age 36 or 37?

The lakers just keep delivering the goods

The Lakers reportedly didn’t fully understand the cap ramifications of the Anthony Davis trade until after their initial talks with the Pelicans. https://t.co/4Kiykq1yrL pic.twitter.com/IZaEDatnLN

Also I’m just posting any and all juice don’t even care who’s reporting it this point

Brooklyn might have doubts about signing Kyrie Irving if he isn't bringing KD with him, per @NYPost_Lewis pic.twitter.com/NWzQfZbdeZ

i just have a feeling about adams. he makes me nervous.

and xp it was extremely obvious that the lakers didn't understand the cap when they agreed to the reported version of the davis trade. rob pelinka is an idiot.

How has he kept his job idgi

amazing there are like 50 million amateur cap experts online and yet the gm of the nbas most famous franchise has no idea

Seriously just drop like 10k for one of those twitter nerds to consult with you for a few weeks lol

i forget what pod i was listening to but it was saying that the lakers have cap experts on staff and pelinka probably just never checked with them.

as y'all were discussing above, really interested to see what NOP does with the #4. I think this draft is a crapshoot after Zion and maybe Morant so I'd rather have just about any really good established player assuming he doesn't cost a ton. I really don't understand why everyone is suddenly excited about this Darius Garland kid. maybe he'll be great but he played like four games in college and he was the #16 recruit in his class coming out of high school:

http://www.espn.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/playerrankings/_/class/2018/order/true

I've heard people point out that Kyrie only played a handful of college games too, but he was a much more highly touted recruit. not sure what I'm missing here, I guess he crushed the combine or something.

haha this shit doesn't surprise me in the least! Palinka is a disaster

garland was a five-star recruit, number 2 PG in his class (behind Tre Jones). Kyrie was the #1 overall player, but still, Garland was a hugely hyped recruit.

my point was that he was #16 in his class, played 4-5 games of competitive basketball, and now he seems to be trending towards being the consensus #4. like, Coby White made a similar leap, but at least he balled out for an entire season.

it's a combination of a weak-ish class past #3 and lots of teams needing PG help. i'd take white over him personally, but i'm not an nba scout.

whether youre the 3 or 15 rated guy on rivals isnt that relevant to the nba really, nbas gonna make its own judgements

i dont understand what the celtics are up to

Boston has offered center Aron Baynes -- $5.4M expiring contract -- into salary cap space elsewhere, league sources tell ESPN. Without Kyrie Irving and Al Horford on the books, moving Baynes without taking back salary could get the Celtics to $23M in space.

flailing perhaps

im reading twitter replies to boston sports writers to lean all the best information now

There must be somebody in play for something near that salary they could trade a few picks for. Maybe Steven Adams?

woj thinks there will be trades

horf for capela is rumored

celtics want the 4 pick, im learning alot

woj would think that

xxp

woj knows that trades are good

trade man likes trades
