2020 nba offseason draft free agency etc

i think pat riley got an idea of what he is and was like lol no thanks

https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/pacers/2020/11/12/insider-oladipo-stay-oladipo-goes-analysis/6123176002/

sounds like oladipo was mad that people like brogden and that the pacers did fine without him, not a great look.

lol wuuut

DEVELOPING: The Rockets and Clippers have discussed a deal that would send Paul George and a first-round pick to Houston and Russell Westbrook to LA, per @ScoopB. pic.twitter.com/jqILwvppfy

huh that's something

musical disgruntlement

wait PG *and* a first for westbrook, the inferior player on a worse contract??

with all respect to scoop b of heavy.com and legion hoops i’m not sure that one passes the smell test. the clippers are gonna trade *another* first round pick and paul george to get westbrook. why? what first can the clippers even trade at this point? 2029?

yeah

in as far as there is anything whatsoever to that rumor, I assumed he put the pick on the wrong side. But both of those teams have yielded comical amounts of future draft picks to the Thunder

three team trade w westbrook going back to okc and cp3 to the clips

i hope these guys all find the situation they're looking for but i'm gonna root for their teams to fail until they stop blasting bad vibes all across the league constantly

We’re approaching an absurd levels of paul George trades here. Has a player this good switched teams this often in a 4/5 year span?

i still blame kd to warriors, that move broke the entire western conference and it needs a full reset

is kd the bad vibes patient zero

PG is the ultimate trade piece of the star accumulation era insofar as he’s not good enough to be a no 1 but is (theoretically) qualified to be a very good no. 2. he was acquired by OKC and LAC to be a second banana to more established stars after he hit a ceiling in indiana and if he gets traded again it will prob be to a similar situation

gree hee hee

Tom Thibodeau reportedly pushing for win-now moves for Knicks https://t.co/eZOyPYCe6s

— Kurt Helin (@basketballtalk) November 14, 2020

lol

win 30 games now!!!

yes hahaha yes

Thibs giving away assets to "win now" with Russ would be too good

please god

I acutally think knicks fans might love russ

they will, but knicks fans are also insane by definition

knicks somehow have a ton of draft picks, as far as players tho its pretty rough theyve got barrett, and maybe robinson is "an asset"

it's in the running for the worst roster in the league even if you like barrett (i do not)

Is knox a lost cause or just a guy who needs to get away from the knicks?

both

everyone needs to get desperately away from the knicks

give the general competitiveness in the east, i'm struggling to imagine a painfully optimistic best case scenario for the 2021 knicks: it's an eight spot and getting clobbered 4-1 by whoever the best team in the east is. if you wanna call that "win now"...?

I mean if I was a Knicks fan actually making the playoffs and taking a game off the first seed sounds 10x more entertaining and appealing than losing ~50+ games and having nothing but the 8th pick in a weak draft to show for it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Knicks are inexplicably and undeservedly still the biggest franchise in terms of market and overall valuation and Dolan will make millions either way; might as well put something less nihilistic to watch on the court than Elfird Payton, RJ Barrett, and 3 miscellaneous power forwards lol

yeah I mean it didn't work out but I don't regret the Wolves Jimmy Butler year, it was fun to be have good basketball and have the team be interesting for a minute*

*obv Russ at present is not as good as Butler and the Wolves had another top player

thibs+russ means every other player is going to get yelled at 5 hours a day

Knox seems like a replacement level player

guys who are as bad as he was in his first two years usually don't do much

Yah that shooting percentage looks irredeemable

i wld say presti needs an intervention but he has been the best drafter in the league so

The Thunder will have the Nos. 25 and No. 28 picks in Wednesday's NBA Draft. Between the 2020 and 2026 Drafts, OKC has accumulated 16 first-round picks -- with more high-level trade assets still left to acquire more. https://t.co/lwgvqsO9QW

imagine all the wing players who can't shoot above 30% from three he can get with those picks

jordan be serious please

imagine all the wing players who can't shoot above 30% from three he can get with those picks

lol ok man

ESPN Sources with @RamonaShelburne and @ZachLowe_NBA: As Houston’s James Harden considers his future with franchise, one possible trade destination is rising to top of his list: Brooklyn. The idea of reuniting with Kevin Durant and joining Kyrie Irving is resonating with Harden.

*elite defenders

i missed terrance ferguson and josh heustis all defense selections

Harden Durant and Kyrie yes please sign me up

Great pickup by LA imo.

that would be Danny Green and a late first round pick for Schröder and yeah, I'd say so.

yessss hahaha

Kyrie Iriving has reportedly informed the Nets that he wants out and is pushing a trade to the Knicks.

where could james harden be traded 1. to some other team he agrees to 2. to a (prob desperate team) that thinks they can convince him to stay 3. to a team that views him as "an asset"?

i have discovered a feature "popular trades"
