2019 NBA Playoffs thread

Don't post on the nhl forum so just going to leave this here

Feel bad for the poor long-suffering fans of Boston who have to wait even more months for a championship for their city.

I would be ecstatic!

But also skeptical that UJiri would be able to turn this thing around anytime soon.

Define "soon"? He got the Raptors a title within 6 years. They were around the top of the East within like 3 years.

The Raptors were in a decent place when Ujiri took over though. They didn't have a championship core by any stretch, but they weren't hamstrung with a contract like John Wall's.

He could get the Wizards to the playoffs relatively soon. I am skeptical about anybody's ability to add the necessary talent to make this roster relevant in the next 5 years. Most 1st round playoff teams aren't really that relevant to me unless they are up and comers with cap space like the Nets.

What the fuck are YOU talking about? Hill will resign for 4-6M for next season which brings the guaranteed salaries down to about 91M and resigning Middleton for 5/110M will mean that it will only add 6M to the books over his option for next season...

It means that Bucks will have more than 33M + Snell available for trade (maybe Ilyasova too) as to extend Lopez and Brogdon (20M salaries estimation - 5.5M currently in the books = about 14.5M to add in the books) which then leaves only Mirotic to be resigned (for his current salary) and then there will still be some 6M + Snell (+ possibly Ilyasova too) + all the current roster available to be used in trades (including Middleton, Brogdon, Lopez, Hill and Mirotic other than the young assets) after Dec the 15th...

Plenty to add a No2 behind Giannis...

Let alone that the F.O. has no objection to temporarily pay some lux tax for this season if it is necessary as to win the title.

So to recap:
Buck said Kris for 5/110, really is 5/178
Hill for 4-6M, really 9M
Snell + 1st traded for Leuer who is then waived
BLopez + Brogdon claimed for $20M, Blopez gets 12M and Brog traded
Mirotic said resigned at current contract, renounced and gone instead


So much for that "only add about $6M to the books". Bucks are currently $16M over the cap, $7M under the luxury tap threshold, have the $4M room exception, and a $600k trade exception from Snell.

Pretty much says it all... @buckalis still has no clue how the NBA works. I gave him instructions before these predictions and he just didn't listen and/or just didn't understand. He lives in 2K Land.

Really, he'd be better off just saying he was messing with us at this point.

Sadly, it seems he is dead serious

And yet, despite everything he said about all his guys signing “team friendly deals”, he still claims the Bucks were among the winners of free agency.

Bucks could very well be the best team in the East this season. But they clearly did not improve their team. They are weaker.

You are sooooo getting called a deepshit when buck-Alice sees this.

In fact, I'll be surprised if you don't get called a troll too.

Buck is going to pretend this thread, like all of his other ones that were proven wrong, just don't exist.
