2019 Offseason Thread

Yup.

We hit 115 a couple of times the last few weeks.

BRUTAL in AZ

Now that's hot. The only thing I don't miss about the desert are those 105+ plus days. But someday I will move back.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Exactly....I would bet most who rip Cleveland have not been here. I've been to and lived in a number of places. Other than weather, the suburbs here are not much different than other places I've seen. Actual city a different story.

We are talking about where NBA players and their families would prefer to live.

 

[Black Adam]

That's nice I guess
The Heat are getting Westbrook

even if they pulled it off that's a good thing why...?

lol keep talking shit about the Lakers, though...

 

[wildturkey]

I heard Anthony Davis is kind of ok on defense, the Lakers should try to get him

Gotta think line ups my man. Those 3 guys will be playing alongside Davis and will absolutely be targeted and exploited. In the right series against certain match ups, it could easily be the difference

 

[Black Adam]

Is that good or bad?

honestly could be either...

#we'llsee

 

[msgkings322]

It's definitely not for everyone (OK, not most).

That said, I moved out to Phoenix when I was 16, came back and went to OSU and while I like Phoenix a lot, I wouldn't go back. I like the change of seasons, and love early fall and spring weather here. Summers are fine, of course. Yeah...no doubt winters can be dreary.

Phoenix is the lamest city in the US. Zero culture, ugly desert setting, nothing but a grid of strip malls

 

[Black Adam]

Cousins deal is for only $2.3m

I'm good with that

me too, especially if he can get back to his old form...

None of his Heat brethren seem to want him.

The post I made with the 1.7%, Gilbert not being there was only about the Wiggins draft.
I said I knew the 1.7% was correct, but didnt know or care if Gilbert part was true.
You ranted about it being inaccurate countless times, yet it was totally accurate.

Since he started with the 2011 draft still think it was "totally accurate"?

[msgkings322]

Then why be concerned with what I post?

Who said I was concerned?

 

[wildturkey]

This is good news. By getting Cousins on the min, Lakers have plenty of cash to lure in Bradley or some useful front court player. Or they could conceivably leave it open and use it to work trades later on as trades with teams under the cap don't have to be matched dollar for dollar. Good way to absorb assets.

 

[dtgold88]

Holy shit are you stubborn. Obviously trying to explain to your repeatedly I was only talking about Thompson & Love is pointless. So continue to try & change things up & mention other players. But you're never wrong, isn't that right?

And had you said you were only talking about Love, guess what? I would not have made the comment I did. But you said "I'll always take the shooter".

And when have I said I'm never wrong? I have been wrong many times. Difference is if I'm factually incorrect I'll just say so. Hell, I've even said my opinion was wrong and changed it.

 

[msgkings322]

I don't care what city you're in they all have their really nice spots & really bad spots. There are no exceptions.

But they all don't have really nice weather and great culture and outdoor activities

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Lmfao

@wildturkey

 

[Wamu]

And had you said you were only talking about Love, guess what? I would not have made the comment I did. But you said "I'll always take the shooter".

Okay you're crazy. I did state from the get-go I was only talking about those 2 players. You're the person that insists on ignoring that fact.

 

[trojanfan12]

Will we find out on Christmas at 5:30?

Maybe. There are a lot of choices.

Lakers/Clippers, Clippers/Raps, Clippers/Thunder, Lakers/Pels.

Hard to pick.

Lakers/Clips has the most stars. But with so many former Lakers on the Pels roster and AD with the Lakers, that would be pretty compelling.

Or Clips/Raptors, the champs vs. the guy that led them to the title.

 

[dtgold88]

My wife is not nearly as big an asshole as you like to be here.

Mine is worse. Only wish she could be shown to be factually incorrect and woman up and say so.....mostly for the sake of my daughter.

 

[Black Adam]

None of his Heat brethren seem to want him.

yeah, there's a REASON for that...

 

[dtgold88]

Stop.
I posted Cavs were lucky to be in position to get James back vs it being planned.
Then I used Blatt as proof and lottery odds as example.

#fact

Fabulous. But your post said this was the 2011 draft. You even admitted you were confused by that (apparently, I was as well). Had the post said the Wiggins draft or 2014 draft this never happens. I would have agreed...and even said in the thread they got lucky in the Wiggins draft
