⭐ OFFICIAL 2020-2021 NBA Off-Season Thread: Olympics begin 7/23; NBA Draft 7/29⭐

Ain’t watch hockey since the 90s. Popeye Jones son supposed to be a star in the NHL right?

 

[pums]

A Bron and Curry tweet is like the Wavy bat signal.

 

[getback]

its one of those topics i love engaging myself with

everything about gambling just fascinates me and it continues to grow and become legal in more places

but nah i actually just been watching soccer and not betting it. I am sure ill get back into it at some point though

You should be a bookie before it does become legal everywhere.

NBA players love Cleveland, as evidenced by free agent veterans taking less money & possibly a lesser role to play for the Cavaliers from 2014-2018.

It had nothing to do with the superstar players on the team. Cleveland built a great culture seemingly overnight.

It’s a desirable place to live. It’s the new Brooklyn

 

[QU!K]

pretty much spot on with what I posted yesterday.


Oh so, y’all just want to see Zion score 40 and be a 7th seed? Got it.

CP3 got Suns to 2nd seed tho

 

[pums]

It’s like Boston disappoints every other year since Tatum has been in the league.

Tatum is like 22

 

[QU!K]

I didn’t completely understand why the fans hated JV. His unlimited pump fakes were annoying, but he was improving year after year. I think they just expected more from him.

He just wasn’t the defender/play maker Gasol was. JV could never make Embiid cry like Gasol did.

But we forfeited his potential to win that year, and it was the right move. Same with Poetl, he looks ok on Spurs.

A year removed Gasol was washed and is currently collecting his old age money on the Lakers.

 

[Tony $now]

Obviously that tweet is fake, but why would Steph go help Bron on his quest to get more rings than MJ. He traded half the team for A.D. (Always Damaged) he should be happy. The whole league would be in shambles

 

[tay1]

How do the pelicans get better then .

Fire SVG. Trade BI. Acquire quality 3 and D players. Resign Lonzo. Draft decently.

 

[misha]

CP3 got Suns to 2nd seed tho

He fits good just depends on the playoffs how they perform . Cp3 has a 44 player option next year so ya he’s not going to the pels. Best option is keeping lonzo and play naw and get a stretch 5 . A pick and roll would work great with a 5 if lozno bi or Zion get a switch

on the clock

Marc also a ball mover to help facilitate the offense whereas JV was more of a scorer.

Not blaming him but his first year they reached the conference finals and go 7 games without Hayward and Kyrie.

The next year they disappoint and get smashed by mil and Kyrie leaves.

Last year they make the conference finals.

This year they playing .500 ball looking like ****

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Was watching this the other day



@ the 3:07 mark....stared y’all goat down . No fear.

Put that ***** on notice

Why trade bi ? Guy is 24 averaging 24 5 5 and can shoot the three and has a mid range . The idea of them not fitting together is crazy especially since it’s so early . Trade Bledsoe and Adams and give up a first round pick you got from the bucks for someone to take them . You have enough money to sign lonzo josh hart and a solid stretch 5 . Lonzo wants a 22m contract hart is around 10 million . You trade both Eric and Adams and reddixk left you have about 30 million left to sign a stretch 5

 

[VARNELL HILL]

You keep saying this. Why do you think they can trade Bledsoe and Adams without absorbing salary back?

 

[storm2006]

It’s a desirable place to live. It’s the new Brooklyn

I’ve been to downtown Cleveland twice and it didn’t even feel like I was in what was supposed to be a metropolitan area. The Cleveland Clinic campus was more bustling than the actual “city”

 

[wavycrocket]

Put that ***** on notice

Foreshadowing was mean.

 

[misha]

Someone would take adams if you include a draft pick a second rounder that we just got from Dallas . .
And trading Bledsoe plus a first rounder that we got form the bucks is possible . Pelicans got a lot of picks in the next couple of years .

Scoring won’t be a problem with them as long as Zion is on the team so BI’s 24 can be substituted for someone who can playmake and actually attempt to play defense

Nobody wants a Bledsoe and Adams package

When you trade those players...you're trading them FOR other players right? You have to account for the salaries coming back. Bledsoe and Adams aren't vanishing into thin air. Money is coming back. You aren't factoring that money into your projections.

Thats a hell of a 4 year run for a 19 year old coming outta college to a lotto team .

We gotta start putting **** into perspective man. Almost seems like most fans forgot what team building, growing, failing and winning looks like.

The nba is warped right now with its perspective.

 

[tay1]

And if Lonzo leaves, that team is in trouble as it’s currently built.

All the front running in the league got people expecting teams led by guys in their early-to-mid 20s to compete at a high level from the jump.

It's silly and it's unrealistic.
