2020 nba offseason draft free agency etc

yeah i'm seeing raves about the guy in sports media twitter. must have been an amazing booth with him and early harlan.

I was a wolves fan a long time ago, the first team I really liked. I would watch wolves games on league pass. And year after year the constant was Hanneman. Sometimes he was the sideline guy, sometimes the play by play guy, sometime in studio. And you got the sense that he had no ego about switching between roles, that everyone just loved him. So honestly this sucks.

nuggets are having fun out there

Nuggets really might have too many good players? Injuries tend to sort that out

Kyrie is the human embodiment of "this fuckin' guy"

BOSTON -- Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving says he plans to burn sage before every game this season to honor his Native American heritage.

Irving was seen burning sage -- which is known as "smudging'' -- on the court at TD Garden during warm-ups before his Nets beat the Boston Celtics 113-89 on Friday night in the NBA preseason finale for both teams.

feels kind of presumptuous to smudge other teams stadiums

he should do it at home tho during introductions just slowly walk out with a smoking smudge stick while everyone is getting amped up

there is footage of him smudging in the celtics thread btw

Any other ilhors want to do fantasy? We’ve got 7 and need one more to have a season. Draft is tomorrow night as of now.

o/ spottie

Not sure what that means?

hadn't seen the other thread. joined

o/ = hand raised

ronron 4 life

It’s so crazy to me. I literally pissed away a complete career and still walked away with A ring , citizenship award (lol) , third team all nba , multiple all defense teams, all star , DPOY while being depressed and putting in for retirement at 23yrs old. Lol

is it just me or are there way more players with "jr" after their name these days

Hey good to hear this. A complicated dude

Michael Porter Jr.: “Everybody knows Will’s a starter. Him saying that shouldn’t have been blown up the way it was bc he has started, he has produced. That’s not immature or anything on his part. He views himself as a starter. I view myself as a starter.”

Said sacrifice is key.

oh man

i thought he was gonna be a bust bc he cant shoot and would get bullied as a defender, but my god his passing is beautiful

I think the Twolves fucked up

I think the Twolves fucked up

aint shit new

btw fyi the leading rookie scorer during the preseason is DEVIN VASSELL

my thought process is like this
1. who is devin vassell
2. should i look it up
3. hes prob just whoever the spurs drafted
4. fin

He’s really good but I think he had an injury teams didn’t like

i think in lots of mock drafts ppl had the suns taking him but the suns did the suns thing and made a crazy draft pick so then the spurs got him

devo had no major injury history that im aware of, tho he did have a pre-draft video of him shooting with weird mechanics. with derrick white and keldon johnson injured he has been the spurs' best player in the preseason. he's going to be a steals machine.

and also he can shoot from multiple spots on the floor, that helps a lot

Rudy Gobert has agreed to a 5-year, $205M extension with the Jazz, he told ESPN. It’s the biggest contract ever for a big man. Gobert: “It means they believe in me. They believe in what we’ve been building over the years with this whole organization.” https://t.co/hPJwYMdSS5

utah is all-in on being pretty good.

yeah lol - the curse of the small market, they do need to make the difference between the max and super max not count against the cap

If bubble Donovan mitchell is Donovan mitchell 2021 then I’d say they have a pretty bright future! Conley thing didn’t work tho.

Kawhi Leonard, referencing his own potential free agency, said he's "just focused on this season."

Added that: "If I stay healthy, the best decision is to decline the player option but it doesn't mean I'm staying or leaving."

oh ok

bored man gets paid

Los Angeles Clippers guard Luke Kennard has agreed to a four-year, $64 million contract extension, his agents Aaron Mintz and Dave Spahn of @caa_sports tell ESPN.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) December 21, 2020

that seems like a lot

life is really working out for luke kennard

its a good time to be a shooter in the nba

hoisting is here to stay

Markelle Fultz has agreed to a three-year, $50 million extension with Orlando, his agent Raymond Brothers of @RocNationSports tells ESPN.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) December 21, 2020

well that contract isn't going to kill anybody. given that there was a time when it looked like his earnings potential was nonexistent, i'm happy for him.

Unlike the famous song, it turns out that Anunoby does stay in one place anymore...

broken link :( "Toronto Raptors forward O.G. Anunoby has agreed to a four-year, $72 million extension"

Remarkable rise for Anunoby, who arrived at Indiana for Tom Crean as the 294th ranked high school senior and entered the draft with Wilkes with a torn ACL on the way to the Raptors selecting him 23rd overall in 2017.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) December 21, 2020

how else are those scoops gonna keep going to him

wow. he is someone who i thought could make really serious money next offseason.

Spurs 73/4 Derrick White yeee-ha

Seeing a lot of people agree with this frankly insane opinion

Good for Fultz and Isaac getting those contracts. One is hurt, one was written off by a lot of people. Could actually be really nice value for the Magic as well

My big issue with Kennard is that he seems like the kind of guy who will fall out of the league with one injury. Rooting for him tho, he’s one of the biggest overachievers in the league
