**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[B Sox]

Blaming Hanlen for this is weak as hell. We have evidence of him shooting FTs with a perfectly fine stroke one week ago and then we have whatever the hell he threw up there the other night. What is Hanlen supposed to do about that?

 

[addict4sneakers]

And this is saying what exactly?

Fultz’s noodle arm >>>> Simmons’ off season

 

[Benny Hinn]

KD wants the Player Tribune memes to end
Dray wants to get paid
Klay wants to play in front of his father
Can't wait.
7 more months of this

Ask Landry Fields what he thinks of Melo, guarantee it’s a bad review

 

[moneylicious]

Melo bout to go out the same way AI did

 

[Maximus Meridius]

At least AI was a icon. Melo ain't have no reason to be that stubborn.

Have no dog in this, and I'm sure this is going to look like I'm capping for Drew but he trained Tatum his entire life and helped get him to Duke, a lotto pick, and have a spectacular rookie season.

He trained Jojo this past summer and Jojo is putting up historical numbers. That don't have nothing to do with Drew huh? Lol

He trained Beal almost all his life and Beal made an AS game last year and is doing fine this year.

He trained Zach Lavine this past summer and Zach is putting up some historical numbers.

When Wiggins was putting up 24 a game who was training him then?

We wanna draw correlations with this too? Do you wanna do this with RJ Barrett too who looks fantastic as a freshman right now?

The 76ers, led by Embiid ASKED Drew to help fultz, not the other way around. And Fultz didn't come out of pocket for it either.

We only gonna cite the clients that do bad and not good? The truth is, is that the link between basketball trainer and client is kind of tough to gauge, especially at the pro level. At best, you're making guys 5 to 10 percent better (If that) and often times results are tied into opportunity and situation.

But to only pick out the clients who are doing bad as a means to kill a trainer is pretty ridiculous.

Tatum had one of the best shooting seasons ever for a rookie. He's up to 39% from 3 on increased volume as a sophomore right now. Won't hear a peep about Drew in regards to this. But because y'all expect trainers to be miracle workers, every guy he touch supposed to be like this.

Y'all funny

I'm killing Hanlen for the **** he pulled with the tweet lol any obviously trolling about Embiid and Tatum but I do put Embiids growth more on him being healthy and in shape but thats another topic

Not tweet **** about him being hurt and then deleting it. And the second the missed FT happened, reports are out about no longer being in contact.

 

[wavycrocket]

Yo has any teammate ever said anything bad about Melo?

Jon Barry. But that’s Jon Barry, so grain of salt.

Melo is well respected and liked around this league. Ain’t no player going to speak ill on him for real.

 

[frshstunna]

Yo has any teammate ever said anything bad about Melo?

Jeremy Lin probly doesn't think too highly of Melo...he just smart enough not to say anything to the media

 

[addict4sneakers]

HA George Karl too.

 

[wavycrocket]

When they first linked....I remember this game like it was yesterday



2 of my favorite players ever on my favorite team. Short lived, but a hell of a time.

“Nene got rid of the porno honey. Now he ballin”

 

[dacomeup]

Him and THJR almost came to blows right? Probably just regular teammate ****. Guys around the league respect Melo. Melo has severely deteriorating athleticism and has seen a decline in his shot making ability. It's more about that and unwillingness to adapt his game as he ages than anything.

No denying that but I remember people calling him a cancer for awhile.

You know part of the reason why Jojo in better shape this year? Cause the man was running sprints in the middle of summer at St. Benards

I don't think Hanlen (or brickley or any of the new trainers with juice) are doing anything too special with guys, and trainer culture is becoming more and more wack with the amount of credit that these guys want to take for players success, but to point out the bad clients and not the good ones is pretty lame (Not you specifically just in general)

Not to mention the guys he helps get drafted, or even have a chance to get drafted. Drew's legit, as long as you recognize that everyone can't be a success story.

Are you or have you already started training on your own?

First healthy offseason in years tho lol but I agree.

Hanlen was severely hyping up Fultz so the backlish is warranted. No matter how much good you do, one smudge damaged your rep and Fultz is a Shaq sized smudge

 

[P C H]

Nah I haven't. Been too busy with my actual other job that helps pays the bills in the summer hopefully though.

Amare pretty much said it in an interview about the whole situation. Also, amare was having an mvp type season before melo came

Yeah sad ending

 

[MVP]

Excellent

 

[HIM]

KD really gonna come to the Clips. Yeesh.

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Draymond jealous

 

[Kinfolk]

Media is making way too much of this KD/Draymond thing.

If you've played any competitive team sport long enough, this is bound to happen.

Draymond wanted to shine, KD should have gotten the ball. Not a big deal. The end.
