**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[everysingletime]

Zach Lavine going off like he has makes the Jimmy Butler trade look really bad.... And that's not even considering Kris Dunn and Markannen (yea I know those two are hurt)

I'd be really bad mouthing Thibs gm skills right now if he wasn't also the only coach/gm in the nba that'd give Derrick Rose a chance.

 

[MVP]

So much for keeping the young guys...

Big Russ having the same chilling effect as washed Kobe wasn't expected.

My worst fears coming to fruition.

 

[numbah1grimey]

Bro... howwwwwww???

 

[nomnom]

NICE

 

[numbah1grimey]

LaVine got more dawg in him the Wiggins!!

Zach probably got a mean wobble game. I know he’ll throw hands when it’s time to brawl!!

Glen Taylor made him trade LaVine instead of Wiggins.

 

[papichino]

Caris Lavert quietly averaging 20 ppg he got a nice game

Well this is unexpected

 

[ill steelo]

I'll be shocked if Leonsis fires Brooks with all the money left on his contract.

Grunfeld could/should be done for though.

Mahinmi got $70M just to foul people literally every 4-5 minutes.

He’s improved to an impressive and career high 8 fouls per 36 mins this year.

 

[wavycrocket]

Zach and Wiggins actually liked playing with each other. You never break up a trio of 21 year olds averaging a combined 65+ppg.

Thibs goofed. And we BEEN called it.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Glen Taylor made him trade LaVine instead of Wiggins.

It's no good reason why they shoulda traded Lavine when see how he was improving. They just didn't wanna admit Wiggins wasn't living up.

 

[MVP]

Well this is unexpected

Everybody told me Bron was this great teammate that every great player would want to play with... you got dudes wanting to commit career suicide by going to the Clippers & Nets instead of wanting to deal with his circus. Unbelievable.

 

[wavycrocket]

MVP you see what I was saying....

At least let it play out. You was just rocking your Bron jersey, Bron snapback, Bron coffee mug.

 

[nick.]

Zion already has more 3's than Ben Simmons

 

[D StaXX]

Zion is ******* huge. Pause.

The season just started

 

[MVP]

MVP you see what I was saying....

I went against my true self dawg. I had the googly eyes trying to make sense of what really wasn't sensible. Now all the kids going to be moved in the next year and a half only to end up as max a conference finalist at best. I'm sick. At least Kobe gave his body up and put in decades of work before destroying the team. This dude is going to do it in record time while still healthy.

Lol tags still on that *****. I'm not going to wear it.

 

[everysingletime]

I'm looking at Zach Lavine highlights and he looks good.

I'll admit, I wasn't expecting this. I was thinking his career track was going to be more like Gerald Green 's

 

[wavycrocket]

Maximus Meridius B Sox I Work in Columbia now. We gotta link up for drinks and a game or some ****

 

[everysingletime]

Zion is ****ing huge. Pause.

I was reading about how if Zion had blossomed physically earlier he would've been in football. But apparently he was a late bloomer and by the time he developed a football physique, it was already junior yr in hs and he had already decided basketball was his thing.

 

[pmatic]

The top tier free agents' career narratives slants towards not needing a ring to validate their career, so it makes sense they aren't going to play second fiddle to Bron in LA. Not sure how one can hold that against Bron.

Durant =
Kawhi = Already got a ring, could be building something in Toronto/Be the leading man elsewhere
Klay = Love the Warriors too much to explore leaving
Kyrie = Been there, done that/Part of a monster in the making in Boston
Jimmy = Looking to cash in and be a leading man, questionable fit anyways

 

[flyerthandelta]

RJ Barret > Wiggins
