2020 nba offseason draft free agency etc

lol oh shit hadn't seen the story jfc

eek lol

The treatment the Clippers gave Kawhi Leonard and Paul George rubbed some teammates the wrong way:

◾️ Kawhi and PG-13 had power over the practice schedule.
◾️ Kawhi lived in San Diego, which often made him late.
◾️ Teammates believed they could choose when they played.

i cant show up to practice i live in san diego you understand

pretty good drama in that article.

some pretty fascinating storylines going into this season. its weird that the lakers are the team with all the good vibes entering the season.

it's not weird ffs you just hate them

^gets it

no it is weird cos lebron usually brings plenty of drama!

but... point taken and im not denying it

yeah i can see the Lebron thing but he really is in the best possible situation so not a lot drama to be had

teams are usually in a good headspace after they win the chip lol

what i feel like goes mostly unremarked upon is how drama free the lakers were last year, iirc all of ilh was sure they were going to implode at some point via having a weird roster full of weird guys

Lol Kawhi you can’t be all I’m coming home to LA and live in San Diego, man. And the commute is really bad!

das alotta rosé baby

lol they added jr and dion and were still impenetrable, kudos. dwight, javale, markieff, rondo, jr, dion, all on the same team and it worked. altho only one of those are returning haha. when lebron has a team he believes in he turns into the greatest teammate. long ways from sitting on the bench biting his nails 7 seats down from all the baby lakers not so long ago.

solution is to move the clippers back to san diego

most drama free contract extension for Lebron iirc

move the clippers to... seattle

Lebron is a money-making machine for the entire NBA.

LiAngelo Ball is signing a one-year, non-guaranteed contract with the Detroit Pistons, sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.

haha max drama on day one. thats a fun opening weekend of games nice job nba

yah the lebron contract was like duh. he's locked in with another top 7 player in the league as long as he wants and they need eachother.

what is the prevailing opinion on LiAngelo Ball as compared to Lonzo and LaMelo?

he's a borderline g league player

its funny because hes the only one of the 3 with a normal jumpshot

yah. not saying much tho lol.

Tell me why these kids have received so much press?

well two of them were top three picks that's not nothing. and then the dad said some stuff and they got a reality show. i know all my teen nephews and cousins all love them and follow everything they do

convergence of several things... ESPN first take culture, high school highlight culture, steph curry 3 bombing culture, reality show culture....

I do wonder how it would have turned out of they had taken a conventional route of going to a D1 basketball school

or not stealing shit in China

well lonzo went to ucla

oh yeah duh I forget haha

steph curry 3 bombing culture

yeah hoisting near half court shots just for tf of it to get a highlight

so i guess paul george went on a podcast and nuked the clippers coaching last year. someone should tell him that we don't have a full offseason before he has to see everyone again.

hes proven to be a quite the doofus

Ty Lue didn't bring back any of last year's coaches, did he?

Houston has agreed to trade Russell Westbrook to Washington for John Wall and a first-round pick, sources tell ESPN.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) December 3, 2020

lmao they did it

congrats to everyone involved

god the heck

I like this for Washington

they might as well call him russell eastbrook

Wall might not be able to play anymore, he has bad vibes, Russ is by all accounts a great teammate and it’s the east

praise be

john wall and boogie reunited,
scott brooks and westbrook reunited.

legit cannot fathom why a team would trade for john wall

Beal and Bertans and Otto around Westbrook should be fun

Wall doesn’t have the “he looks incredible everyone’s really surprised how good he looks” buzz that kd and Blake have gotten. I haven’t even heard if he’s ready to go. May have missed it tho
