**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[carlos tevez]

We talking all time right?

KD was about to break Kareem’s scoring record before the injuries this year.

Not really. KD would've needed to play 82 games a season for the next 8 years while averaging 25 ppg to break the record.

 

[HIM]

Let’s just make **** up in our heads because we can’t even gather the facts to have an argument

They didn’t get swept, and you’re still not walking. Those are facts

Glad you’re handling this loss well.

Nah we talking when hes 32 returning from his injury.

About to = 82 games for 8 years avg 25 a game.

Wrong thread​

Sorry, did my facts get in the way of your narrative?

Oh a disability joke in 2019, why don’t you do everyone a favor and hang yourself with your belt. That will easily be the most productive thing you have done in your life

 

[stanfan]

Sorry that the facts got in the way of your narrative.

Hot takes moved from the Finals thread to the Off-Season thread.

 

[lawdog1]

I have my criticisms of Steph and Ayesha, but talking **** about them hanging out at Oracle after the game last is just looking for something to be mad about. Imma let them live on that one.

 

[QU!K]

I’m really interested to see what Masai will do with the team for next year

Kawhi a coin flip
Lowry expiring
Ibaka expiring
Gasol player option
Danny Green UFA

If Kawhi leaves you gotta think he’d let all the other guys walk and rebuild right?

People get real weird and personal with the dislike of these people. And I'm not even a Steph fan like that.

 

[BuddyHield]

ALL TIME???

WUT!!!!

Yeah he wildn. Probably posted this while eating Subway in bed

This seems like a tough move to make, even if Kawhi leaves.

Rebuilding from square 1 would be like thanos'ing your team.

 

[dland24]

The ****? Did he not guard Giannis, Ben, and klay for a good stretch?

Get the **** out of here with that disingenuous bull****.

You warrior fans are going way out your way to discredit one of the craziest playoff runs we have probably ever seen from a player

Figured you would come at me the way you did. Not surprising at all.

Its not disingenuous in the slightest bit, nor was I posting it to discredit Kawhi at all. He was amazing on the offensive end. He was good defensively too. But he absolutely was NOT guarding the opponents best player all playoffs long. YOU are the one being disingenuous if thats what you think happened.

Like I said, he hasnt been doing this on a regular basis since the 14-15 season. Once his offensive workload picked up, his defensive one shrunk substantially.

Do you know him in person? How you know he’s paralyzed?

 

[QU!K]

Should probably let the old guys walk and build around Siakam/Vanvleet maybe we can land an elite free agent in a few.

Masai would probably go hard after Giannis 2021

 

[spacedoodoo]

Y'all can list 28 or so players better than Kawhi Leonard?

Not sure about that.

 

[nick.]

Glad you’re handling this loss well.

Imagine what his posts would be if he was actually mad

 

[MVP]

I see KD going from elite top 2 guy to top 15-top 20 coming off the injury

 

[QU!K]

This seems like a tough move to make, even if Kawhi leaves.

Rebuilding from square 1 would be like thanos'ing your team.

Really hard to convince FA to sign for Toronto

Hopefully the ring will change that.

Might be one and done like the 04 Pistons though they did make it back to the finals the year after

 

[Mike dunleavy]

Jimmy butler and tobias are now tier 1 free agents. 76ers better come with the bag

 

[junglejim]

Imagine what his posts would be if he was actually mad

I would imagine that would look something like this

 

[whitemamba27]

kareems record was never a given
kd would've had to continue to average 28 plus while staying healthy for 7 yrs
he's been avg less than that since joining the dubs. maintaining that type of production at the later stages would've been a tall order

yeah lebron has aged as well as you can and he's 6k away
