THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[abubakr shaheed]

steph, klay, and dray is the same core that won 73 games. sure they're older and missing Iggy but you're telling me that at full health, those three would be scrapping to make the playoffs?

Eric Paschall and DLo(or whoever they get in exchange for him) will make up for Iggy and Shaun Livingston.

yes definitely. draymond getting outplayed by g leaguers, steph is on the wrong side of 30 that 2016 season was dope but man 5 years later you can't expect the same. i like klay but takes time to get back to yourself after ACL especially defensively

come on dont compare pascal and dlo to iggy and livingston lol.

Need kawhi to manage his load on christmas for the hottake culture

Yeah you're right abubakr shaheed this season is looking like a wash. That said they could push for the lower playoff seeds if the current roster can maintain a .400 average until Steph's return.

Russ piru?

If I had a son, I would hope that he would be as well rounded as Russell. What an AMAZING display.

My Young Cavs team is fun to watch, I prefer the tank oppose to a 10 seed, but it's least fun to watch.....I think my guy Bron should never play back to back again but now he set out the whole agenda, he don't load manage when he started this few years back, he'll play smh

steph on the wrong side of 30? Bro he’s only 31 and will be 32 to start next season he has at least 3 years left of solid play before age possibly becomes a factor. It’s been talked about, as a dude who has depended on his shooting skill and ball handling as opposed to elite athleticism, an explosive first step and bounce, steph’s game should age well. CP3 was 33 last year and still a huge factor for the rockets playoff run

As for the DLo/Paschall comparison, I think it’s fair. I’m sold on paschall. He may not be the defender and facilitator iggy was, but he’s showing that he’s more than capable of producing on both ends if given a role off the bench. And DLo, i loved Shaun but I’d take DLo’s ability to play aggressively from the perimeter, score, and pass over Shaun’s any day. At many points the past two seasons, bruh was just a body out there

 

[yobyellav]

Russ wearing purses now?

 

[tay1]

It’s the opposite. Laker fans protected Ingram at all costs. Every other 2nd pick was significantly hated on.

Kuzma was loved initially but now he’s on the hit list.

Nah. ****** was hating on Ingram and wanted to ship him out with no hesitation

i can appreciate the optimism from a die hard fan...
stephs game will age fine but he aint gonna be 73-9 steph again and you wont hear lacob talking about light years anymore

Curry, Klay, Dray, D'Lo, Pascall, WCS, Looney, 2020 lotto pick and whatever they can scrounge from this season is still competitive next season. They also have a $17M trade exception from the Iggy trade and the taxpayer MLE at their disposal too.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Harden and Russ really were at bootsy bellows last nite and then flew back to Houston for a 4:30 game? Lmaooo. Smdh but at the same time I'm not even mad

Edit nvm that's from August

To be honest, I wouldn't be mad if both were out until 3 am on any game night because I know that was time well spent. I am a fan of both gentlemen. Not just as basketball players but as people. AMAZING.

Celtics need to go ahead and reacquire Isaiah Thomas. He clearly loves that city and wants to play there

That’s more than competitive. Should be a top 3 seed in the West pretty easily. Their lotto pick is probably going to end up being top 5.

 

[the 718 truth]

iman can give you at least 5 minutes of decent defense

Which Iman? Cause Shuml been washed for 6 years now

I understand the whole "it's business, " talk, but certain things are undeniable

 

[VARNELL HILL]

He actually was pretty good as a starter for Sacramento last year...which is why Houston traded for him. He fell off again after that

<3 IT

Iman Shumpert getting a job before Melo

Inan Shumpert is a 29 year old role player...who’s a journeyman and came in the league a full 8 years after Melo. Melo is 35, and will only play for a clear contender (who don’t need his services).

Y’all still don’t get it .

Solomon Hill looks like he is 70 years old.
