**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[MVP]

Elton Brand took step back from his proclamation that Los Angeles Lakersgeneral manager Rob Pelinka attempted to get permission - unprompted - for team president Magic Johnson to speak with Philadelphia 76ers star Ben Simmonsabout how to play as a "big guard."

The 76ers general manager called Johnson on Monday to apologize for insinuating in an interview with radio station 97.5 The Fanatic that the Lakers contacted him without warning for authorization to arrange the meeting, sources told ESPN's Ramona Shelburne.

As it turns out, it was Simmons' brother who came up with the idea, which was then relayed to a Sixers employee who emailed the Lakers, sources told Shelburne.

SMFH Magic catching hell for no reason. Clown *** Brand

EB was the first one and done

Nah, dude played a couple yrs at duke.
That team had will avery, maggette, and eb leave early buy maggete was the only freshman.
Coach k was against avery leaving saying he wasnt ready but since he got guaranteed money he understood

I assume maggette is going to be taken off tv for awhile now until the investigation is done

 

[firstclass]

Trae Young with another forgettable game.

With Lin gone, the door is open for Jaylen Adams to get those backup minutes.

***** they didn’t even play tonight

 

[nflowshoe]

Dirk Farewell tour should end with him getting buried Alive in a casket WWF style

 

[dman14]

Haven't watched too much dirk the last 5 yrs. When did he start running like that? Dude is laboring up and down the court

He seems like he will be in chronic pain when he retires

 

[drewsone]

He needs to hang em up for sure this year

He look hurt playing haha

 

[freeze]

His line has never not been elite

You can squeeze in another shade of DJ when he was at Texas with KD.

If Tatum doesn’t ball out in the 2019 playoffs is he back to Rudy Gay part 2?

Not even Rudy. He Danny Granger.

So that’s the version that you liked most of dj?

Nah, Pistons did since that's where we became homies.

The fact Silver found a loophole to put bum *** Dirk and bum *** dwade on the all star roster...and not d.rose when like 4 million voters voted for him...is appalling.

you could tell from the jump it was all on the sixers.

magic didnt want to talk with all the legends. ben simmons did.

and brand probably made all that brother relay email bull **** up to cover his lying ***

 

[smedroc]

Real talk, PG got one of the prettiest games ever. Boy smooth as hell.

The way he’s playing now he looks like a T-Mac x Kobe hybrid.

 

[sooperhooper]

Paul George is constantly rated somewhere between Rudy Gay and Kevin Durant and it fluctuates by the day. He's definitely closer to Durant nowadays.

 

[pmatic]

D'Lo.

 

[Cashflow]

As much as I want to see King Curry complete the 3-Peat, I think it would be poetic if OKC ended up upsetting them in the WCF and shipping Beta Boy to New York.

Fair enough. But Magic didn’t even have to come out with it unprompted in the first place. Someone on the team (because of Ben brother) reached out to the Lakers and then Brand shut it down. Magic still in the wrong for opening his mouth, as always

This is all I ask

He always on some other ****.
