**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[Vincent Van Goat]

Winning cures a lot of things. I wonder if it will in this case.

At some point it gets personal and it don’t matter, especially if you’ve won 2-4 rings already (Kobe Shaq for example)

If someone doesn’t like you and always goes out of his way to embarrass you in front of the team at some point winning doesn’t matter

 

[Air Pope]

lol put the team on his back in a preconcluded series. man y'all say some dumb ****.

Iverson in 01, Wade in 06, Lebron in 07, thats putting the team on your back. KD last year is like some rich kid getting into his first choice of schools for college

You way too emotionally invested if you claiming what I’m saying is dumb lol. But besides that, Draymond literally lost them the series before they called up KD. You could have all the disdain towards KD you want, but he came and established himself as the best player on the Warriors. & I didn’t & still don’t like his decision to join GS. But facts are facts b

I could see that. Maybe when they win, they could use the positive vibes to mend their beef. I’m just tryna to see both side of how this could end.



Or he can pull up on the Knicks

if I read something stupid I call it what it is. if that bothers you you are the emotional one my guy. they lost the series because of draymond's suspension literally highlighting his importance. this isn't about any disdain towards KD I just feel like GS is mistreating the guy who's been the heart and sole of their team and made them contenders in the first place. KD aint that sensitive you didn't have to suspend him. Makes them look soft but what else is new..

Thoughts on trading Draymond sooner than later?

He’s not a max guy but has value

Would like to see the warriors get rid of green in the summer which convinces Durant to stay... and then for them to not get another title

I never expressed any emotion toward what you said ... you just sound like you’re thinking emotionally rather than logically due to how you feel towards KD. But idc bout that lol ... if I’m picking between KD & Draymond, I’m picking KD 11 times out of 10. They won more w/ KD than without him

More dramaaaaa would be lit.

BYE....But what could you get back for him may be the real question. Cannot give hiim up for just anything. Got to bring defense back and versatility

Indiana? They can’t pay Sabonis.

 

[Air Pope]

Indiana? They can’t pay Sabonis.

Then we see Draymond get exposed. Everyone wins.

 

[lamekilla]

Draymond’s “versatility” is overrated. He can barely finish at the rim and he isn’t a threat on the outside. Is passing to 2 of the top 3 players counted as versatile? His defense is the only part of his game that’s commendable and even then it isn’t game changing defense. You could easily plug an Al Horford into Draymond’s spot and have the same results

Indiana? They can’t pay Sabonis.

Why not?

If Meyers decides this offseason that he’s not maxing him out, then he has to move him since KD/Steph/Klay alone put them at/above the cap.

The question then becomes what forward/center are they bringing in who can defend the paint, switch on to guards, and is locked up contract wise for the next several years. I’m blanking on that part.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Why not?

You’re tying big money into two guys that play the same position and can’t play together?

No way if I’m sabonis agent are we staying put. He’s a $20M player

 

[sohi 23]

The irony of life is that Draymond once told Paul pierce “they don’t mess with you like that” only for GSW to basically tell him the same last night by suspending him.

Word. The ironic **** is Dray went out of way to recruit and beg KD to sign with the Dubs and now he knows the Dubs would send him packing to appease KD. That HAS to hurt his ego.

The warriors have been floating that they want Unibrow for years now... I think if anyone of the 4 HoFers were to be traded it would’ve been Draymond. I don’t see how the Warriors could get Unibrow now tho. If KD bounces this summer & they trade Dray for picks and young contracts instead of paying him, would they have enough room for Unibrow? Idk

I think they’d have to play traditional defense being that there’s only a handful of guys out there that can defend like Draymond.

Neck tat is over there rotting in Miami

Interview today are horrid.
In every sport.
Once and interview starts, after the first two words, I can usually finish the interview word for word, like I've watched the interview 1ooo times....

Scenario: Cavaliers win their 1oth game of the 2018 Season and Tristan has 30/20/1/3/5

Reporter: Tristan, it's not the same since LBJ left....what does it mean to you to blah blah blah
Tristan: Blah blah blah

Reporter: Now you guys aren't in the running for Playoffs but you still compete every night.....what does it mean to you to blah blah blah
Tristan; Blah Blah Blah

Reporter: Now this 10th win comes on the Eve of the New Year, with everyone going out tonight, what does 2019 mean to you blah blah blah

 

[a-friend]

Bascially you just say some BS to get the interview started, then break in with the "what does ____mean to you....."

 

[addict4sneakers]

Tristan Kardashian over his last 4 games

15 ppg 16 rebounds 2.5 apg

 

[B Sox]

But you want Indiana to trade for Draymond? How does that make sense? He gonna play for the MLE?

Is there going to be $20M out there for Sabonis? I don't know about that.

 

[trynafeelmink]

It's tricky as to what Dray can bring back, because his skillset is only really important for teams that are trying to be contenders.. GS Loses a lot of defense & playmaking in that..
