The Official Off-Season NBA Thread

Wait what? I thought it went like this:

He held out
They fined for missing training camp so he caught the next thing smoking to Philly
He claimed he couldn't play due to mental health reasons
They said they would fine him if he didn't meet with their mental health specialist
He met with said mental health specialist
Team fined him for not going on road trip

So he seems to remain a the lower threshold of compliance until they fine him. Why is he not getting paid? How does that work

Money is still sitting in escrow

It’s all hindsight but Zo and Jrue with Zion and BI would’ve been nice. Caruso and Zo are a menacing duo defensively. Imaging what Jrue and Zo as the starting backcourt could’ve done.

He made a bet that the Bucks (and Lakers too although that was more players than picks) would suck in the future and Those picks would become valuable. He lost that bet.

I also hated trading Hunter for Hayes and NAW. I still love Hunter but it doesn’t look as bad because Hunter stays getting hurt. I don’t think Hayes was the right pick in the lottery though. Why take an athletic center when you already have Zion? Wouldnt a stretch 5 be a better fit?

I’m 50/50 on letting Zo walk. He didn’t want to be there and he wasn’t moving the needle as a third option. I’m as big a Jrue fan as there is on here but I’m old enough to remember that was a bad contract. Granted you never trade for Eric Bledsoe.

he atoned for the Bledsoe/SVG/ Adams moves. Like someone else you, can’t judge this team when they aren’t even close to healthy

NAW been poop. He doesn’t know who he is yet. Supposed to be a Jordan Poole type but it hasn’t clicked yet. Trey Murphy is going to be good though.

yo these full page ads that cover the post area and you think you clicked the x and a video starts paying. I'd complain but Meth always ethers me whenever I invoke him so I was hoping someone else would

Brodie getting to open the Crip Center just seems poetic...

And if they did pay him...how many 3's per game would he have to make for the Pelicans not to be dog **** right now?

10?

He’s definitely better than Graham and NAW and you don’t trade Jrue only to go after Lowry a year later and not pay Zo.

They’re not paying Graham or NAW to be their 3rd guy either.

That Jamal Crawford shake and bake on the Nuggets is m y favorite one. That might be the only signature move in recent history that is a true signature move, like nobody else can or does do it. I've only seen 1 other person ever do it in a game and break someone and IIRC that was D'Lo in a high school clip. Like the Iverson crossover or something, eventually everyone added that to their game. I wish someone more athletic like LeBron ever figured it out and could do it and finish it with a dunk on someone. Also, I don't even think that highly of J.C's game, but anybody who played before games were in color would have 0 chance defending him. They'd literally break an ankle and die. So he should be on the Top 75 before those "look at the ball while dribbling and plant one foot forward to shoot" dudes

reading this whole block of text without discerning some kind of dark disturbing sex reference was a lil disappointing

1. MJ
2. Steph

Hard keeping a guy in free agency restricted or not if they didn’t wanna be there anyway. Just seems like a lose lose situation

 

[brendasdeadbaby]

Barclays center is a joke chanting for steph like that. They could 3 peat and still be second to the only ball team in nyc that matters the Knicks

Worked out well for the Bulls when LaVine signed the offer sheet with the Kings.

Pre-Future Scottie Pippen is the new floor

???

when did zo say he ain’t want to be there never
Ur best player Zion wanted him back in multiple interviews
They had one season together Zion bi and Lonzo with a horrible coach and they blew the most leads in the league I think it was like 15 games . One year at full health and they blew it up
their defense was horrible
Reddick 16 million for the season ain’t do nothing ain’t shoot injured washed guys out the league
Steven adams trash was getting embid money worst defensive center in the league just look at Memphis defense
Eric Bledsoe well I don’t Got to say much baby Lebron can’t play defense and can’t shoot no threes .

Look at their bench other than hart who they had ?


What do the pels needs ????? Defense and shooting Lonzo is getting 19m this year. They legit traded their best defensive player And shooter after one bad yea after he had career high numbers .

Naw ain’t a better shooter or defensive player
Kira Lewis dont let me start willie green took him out the rotation and you wanted him to start
They took satornasky

They shipped Bledsoe and adams right away which I said they was gonna happen last year cuz they straight trash . They paid 60ms on washed players who get worse every year instead of paying the young kid who’s improving . Yah makes sense .

I don’t think anyone is excited to go to sacramento and play for the kings.

So if he plays this year he gets backpay? Does it have to be for the Sixers or any NBA for him to get what has been withheld?
