2019 nba OFFSEASON news, rumors, drama, and recriminations

That bbiomechanics account is so bad that sometimes I wonder if it’s all a bot

No way someone is definitely coming up with that stuff. Watching a video of a guy throwing a no look pass and writing “proprioception of hands and feet allows misdirection of gaze with counterbalance posture”

lol one thing i will say for him is that i think hes right abt adaptability vs repeatability

and all the best shooters def know this but it maybe it hasnt trickled down to lower levels of coaching

its also kinda sad how he tags coach nick in every tweet

desperate

what da fuck

Wonderful

Sources: Memphis wants three-time champion Andre Iguodala to report to training camp and is refusing right now to engage in buyout, which would prevent Iguodala from finishing a Hall of Fame career on his terms because this may be his final NBA season.

Frederic weis ‘ revenge

i really don't care about fiba or team usa except for this--this is the first sign of what it's going to look like when the guys drafted in 2012 and earlier aren't relevant anymore.

i just went through bbref sorting every draft class 2013-present by vorp. not a great story.

there's a chance that a few of these dudes make a big leap, but it does seem like all the best prospects and young guys are foreign (doncic, giannis, jokic, embiid, simmons, even KAT might not qualify as a US national)

and i think just in general we might be hitting a different era for talent level around the league. going seamlessly from the lebron/melo/cp3 generation to the durant/harden/steph generation doesn't mean it's going to keep rolling forever.

at least zion is as american as apple pie

there's a bunch of guys i want to see one more year from before giving up on them being superstars

What’s going on rn is the same thing that was going on in 2004 and 2006. Even 2008 they almost lost to Spain iirc. And those teams, especially 08, had a ton of American talent. Past 10 years have probably been the anomaly.

Wasn’t 2000 kind of iffy too?

u have to be so much better than the competition to be a sure thing in single elimination, and if yr team is full of second tier guys well

an underrated aspect is that the other countries really care abt this alot, also they care abt the world cup more than the olympics

just send the warriors imo

wld be kinda cool to do it that way

wd def be a way to prove if u r in fact the world champions

I think a team that's played together would be better off than a bunch of studs trying to figure out what the other studs are doing and who the alpha dog(s) is.

agreed itd have to be a primarily american team tho

also the warriors had two players better than any of team usa

and i think myles turner shd be on the celtics

Yeah it’s single elimination but team USA lost twice (so far) and almost lost to Turkey

France definitely zoned tho, Fournier was a monster in that game

they were not good dont get me wrong

Livingston is retiring

Had a ton of big moments but his game 1 in the 2016 finals was my fav (despite what happened later)

his harden xover is immortal

A huge help would be if they somehow could teach team USA how the fiba goaltending rules work. That probably costs them 1.5 points per game.

I really think that without the knee injury Livingston would have been a top 10 player.

yeah he was an all around player

Bzdelik to the Pelicans. Griffin is killing it over there.

I think a team that's played together would be better off than a bunch of studs trying to figure out what the other studs are doing and who the alpha dog(s) is.

Def, but wasn't this the stated goal when Colangelo took over? Having a core group make a longer core commitment to the team and play in other exhibitions and tourneys then just Olympics and their leadup?

NBA teams have done a 180 on LaMelo Ball after seeing him dominate the Australian NBL Blitz this week. It's time to start talking about him as a real candidate for the #1 overall pick https://t.co/zXo79D0u2l

no

ball

big baller brand

big baller brand jeans <--

does he shoot from the correct side of his face?

yeah but his shot is still very odd

oof

Free agent forward Marquese Chriss — 8th pick in 2016 NBA Draft — has reached an agreement on a one-year deal with the Golden State Warriors, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

this puts them over the top

i assume no significant guarantee which would be utterly insane given the hard cap. wow.

anyone got odds on warriors missing the playoffs?
