**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[Moheezy]

Think they’re still capped unless they renounce everyone, which gives them like $10M in space with only Beal Wall Mahinmi & Dwight on the roster

They need to hire Sam Hinkie and start their own process.

 

[B Sox]

Has that rookie played yet for the Wiz?

 

[Moheezy]

some good games tonight:

Celtics @ Pistons
Jazz @ New Orleans
Portland @ Miami
Lakers @ Spurs

kind of think the Bobcats can take down Philly tonight too but we'll see

Depends on if we are playing to win or playing to figure Fultz out.

Can't do both.

Unless you trade him (in a package for Jimmy), the Sixers need to give him the reps. It will suck in the short term, but necessary for the team to reach it's potential.

 

[Quincy McCall]

Quincy McCall how do the heat KEEP finding and developing these guys! It’s almost a blessing and a curse because you have to pay them...and you end up with a team of above average starter level guys. But Miami is like the best at developing fringe guys into rotational players

Chet Kammerer usually gets the burden of credit when it comes to most of these guys but honestly I have no idea. Sucks mostly when you have to pay them on potential (Whiteside, Tyler Johnson) but you have to take risks on the off chance that it pays off(Richardson, and hopefully Waiters/Winslow) in the Heats situation

Wish Heat could hold on to more projects like Jarnell Stokes and Willie Reed. I have a feeling they'll lose Derrick Jones Jr and McGruder for a lack of resources(roster/cap space)

I think the Lakers are in a similar situation with Ingram

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Is it weird that I can easily see a scenario where KAT never fully recovers from the beatdown jimmy gave him? I think he just might've kwame brown'd that dude. You know he's gotta be moping around the locker room for weeks now. The more he continues to struggle the more I can just imagine how badly and thoroughly jimmy emasculated him in front of teammates, coaches, even the owner was there too right? That's gotta be tough especially for a guy who was already kinda soft mentally

I know the sixers did enquire about a trade. Wolves wanted Simmons. Lol

Actually, it's probably Thibs who made that offer.

 

[addict4sneakers]

I would have traded kitten the moment he didn’t step to Stringer.

Look at him now

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I was told the Wizards could be a 3 seed. Welp

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Luka broke 35% from 3 on pretty solid volume and has an 0-5 game

 

[ballinsam23]

Luka's transition to the NBA game has been damn near seamless.

 

[nflowshoe]

Why Curry tryna be likeable now? Between that and the fergie lockerrom thing...

He must know KD’s gone after this year and he’ll never win another ring

**** ST3-1PH!

Under Armor told him to be more like Emiid so they can start doing press runs together.

 

[sohi 23]

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

"OMGGGGzzzz Lonzo lost his job to Rondo"

Welp

 

[nflowshoe]

Rondo might be trade bait.
Lance running point on the second lineup> Rondo

 

[MVP]

"OMGGGGzzzz Lonzo lost his job to Rondo"

Welp

B Sox

 

[sohi 23]

“Lol Lebron really went to LA to play with Rondo, McGee and Lance he’s already retired”

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Free Brad Beal

As much as I like his game he part of the problem. Dude is shaky in the clutch.

Cs have a situation that kind of parallels Philly/Fultz with Hayward. He isn't remotely close to being healthy, but he needs the reps in order to get there, and it's having a negative effect on the team in the short term.

I said this (but not as nice) and other Celtics fans ain't wanna hear it.

 

[buc em]

I wish Fultz’s issue was health. He just ******* sucks.

 

[amitt5504]

He’s better than half the players on our roster

But yea he sucks because of a mental issue

 

[nick.]

I wish Fultz’s issue was health. He just ****ing sucks.

Fultz for Courtney Lee & a 2nd?

 

[lynchpin33]

Lol, Andray Blatche was a clown.
I remember he was 1 rebound short of a triple double and he was desperate to get that last board.
He even went as far as intentionally missing a layup, and begging his teammates and opposing team for a board.

Nothing new here, Donovan, OKC, and Oscar Roberson says this is playing with heart.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

With all due respect, these responses about Fultz are dumb as ****

The kid is looking good and confident right now and it’s like none of you want anybody to even mention it. Basically, if anybody wants to keep hating on him it’s completely okay, but if anybody wants to say anything positive about him then they should keep their mouth shut because he’s not doing enough for them.

The point about how “effortless” Fultz’s jumper is has nothing to do with it being some groundbreaking never before seen work of art. It has to do with how far he’s come since last year and how he looks like he’s finally just back to playing basketball the way he was when we drafted him. A fall-away fading to the right jumper with perfect form is also not the easiest thing in the world, especially from mid-range, an area of the court many young players have their struggles from.

Definitely not.

Markelle is that weird, quiet kid that had a setback in front of the entire country. He’s somebody worth rooting for to overcome what he went through no matter what team he plays for.

And what do I ever say bad about the actual Lakers players besides none of them being better than Embiid or Ben?

Just warming up for your season long pass on the Markelle Fultz Summer Jam screen.

I swear to god all of you are forgetting how this dude was last year.

Yes it was unfathomable last year. He hid from the media completely and basically refused to even take a jumpshot in warmups.

So is nobody supposed to be excited that our #1 pick looks like he can actually shoot a ball again?

The **** do you dudes not realize that this isn’t exactly a normal situation. Like....did you all forget what he looked like last year? Or are you all upset that you have one less dude to talk **** about on the Sixers?

5 games into the season

I wish Fultz’s issue was health. He just ****ing sucks.

Look at him

 

[EZMONEY SERVANT]

no good wai around this one..... upper mngmt will never give up the ghost and let him go, admitting they blew it....... only way for him to get better or 'come around' is to get a ton of burn, we see the reactions only 5 games in. i couldnt stand his plai either, but lets see how he looks in 2 mos.

cmon now kelle
