2018 NBA offseason

[tlance]

Damn.

I thought he retired last year.

 

[Mecca]

He got his ring.

Won't be shocked to see him on Luke's staff down the line.

 

[Mecca]

Damn.

Close.

Traded to Denver.

i told you i would bet Ingram does not get to 18 ppg. If you want to make a bet on that because DJ wouldnt I would be happy to

I'll bet you Ingram performs better than the Cavs second option

Like, Serious question:

Who is the 2nd option?

Hood?

Clarkson?

Sexton, Hill?

Tristan Thompson

Can't remember if this was posted a few days ago but this is a good piece on Enes Kanter and how its no longer safe for him to return to his native Turkey

Enes Kanter Contains Multitudes

Cedi Osman!

 

[Black Adam]

Tristan Thompson

and a class teammate. Wiggy said so...

#whowouldYOUratherhave?

 

[Mecca]

Cedi Osman!

Yeah, he's the next Drazen Petrovic if you go by the dissertations that have been posted here lately.

@msgkings322 , @CitySushi , @LAD , @Hambombs ...

What exactly is Mccaw's endgame here?

Da fuq is up with going radio silent?

Is he mad that Cook is getting minutes?

I am so confused by what he's doing.

But, it's pretty clear he'd rather play 30 minutes for the Hawks, Suns or Kings over winning rings with a limited role.

Funny thing is, and allow me to get my @WiggyRuss on, I'm not sure he's good enough to crack those teams rotations, FOR BIG MINUTES, at his position.

He's not better than Ariza, Booker, Josh Jackson, Mikel Bridges, Taurean Prince, Deandre Bembry, Bogdanovic, Heild, Ferrell....

I'd probably play him before Shumpert.

But, you get my point.

Honestly no clue. Think he’s getting bad advice from his family. Even his agents have advised him to sign already. His teammates have done the same. Kind of feel bad for him it at the same time he’s being an idiot too.

 

[Black Adam]

I'll give it to you, Wiggitywack. the Browns look at least more competitive...

not there yet though, obviously...

like a couple of your linebackers, receivers are OK, but STILL wouldn't switch QBs with you...

I'm just so confused.

Does he want to be traded?

I could see if he had a Donovan Mitchell type first or 2nd Season.

He didn't.

So, he has no leverage to demand a raise, which they offered to the tune of 800k more, nor a trade, more playing time.

 

[Mecca]

Wow

True story about a kid I used to coach.

He was a fringe D1 player, a PG.

Got an offer to play at a small school. Earned a starting role his freshmen year because the upper class man ahead of him got hurt. Played about 25 minutes a game and was OK, defintely not great.

His dad got a big head and started calling around shopping him to bigger programs in the area. Well, one of the coaches he called was friends with his son's head coach and told him.

Head coach called the kid into his office and said "you want to play somewhere else? We are releasing you from your scholarship so you can do that".

The kid never got another scholarship and had to settle for D3.

Kind of reminds me of McCaw.

@Bolts

You aren't playing NBA pickem this year?

 

[bksballer89]

Just reading the stuff about Mccaw

Wow

 

[bksballer89]

Not going to tell me this isn't Draymond or Durant lol.

Can't see Steph or Klay using the clout word

"You can't do this after two years," one Warriors player told The Athletic. "You've got to get the clout first. He doesn't have the leverage."

@Bolts

Not interested enough to do it this season, maybe next year.
